I couldn't have said it better myself.  Is it the weather (the Swirling Epicenter has been hovering about 20 degrees above the norm for this time of year)?  The election madness, which just goes on and on and on?  Or is it the deserted feeling at JU lately, like all the regulars have shipped out and there are so many unfamiliar faces around?  It leaves one feeling like there isn't any real reason to be writing anything, huh?  Hope you can work yourself out of it soon, though, I need someone to talk to now and then.

Wow, it's exactly how I feel. It's hard to write anything and post it these days. Tough times don't leave time to think about other things, politics have made everything a headache and JU has gone from a great blog site to a strange cafe with few recognizable faces, really weird articles (in different languages) and a joining of all the sites posters under one roof making honest, strong opiniated comments harder to post without seeming like some kind of monster to the sensitive ones here.

FS:  I still check in with JU most days, but it seems like there's hardly any new articles and old ones barely move.  It used to be that the activity on this site was impossible to keep up with!

I don't post here anymore, though, I have a blog elsewhere that I post on regularly. 

Did the kids have a good Halloween?  How is Jessica feeling?

Hang in there Donna.  You will get your mojo back and I'll be waiting.

I think we are all on information overload - which will pass in 2 days hopefully!

Which by then we will either be pulling our hairs and looking for the next spaceship off the planet or we will be rejoicing in our victory will at the same time asking ourselves in we did the right thing.

Hi Serenity   

Hope time helps you to find your way back.

Perhaps the changing of the seasons,  the big today tomorrow and all the clamor as a result....perhaps things like this are part of it. 

Hugs dear lady.

Hang in there....everyone is scattered right now because of other obligations and this never-ending-election cycle.

I am feeling much the same way at the moment.  Maybe it is just the time of the year.  The weather here has been screwy as well - one day it is in the high 20s and the next it is in the mid-teens (celsius that is). 

Plus JU isn't the same anymore.  It takes ages to load up and most of the blogs are tech or games related.  Boring, boring, BORING!

Thx Kelly!

Oh yeah!  But make that the next two weeks to forever!

Either way Charles, I'll be happy.  I'm prepared to give that 'other guy' a chance the same as the last eight years!

Thx Trudy.  It is daunting at times.  Like I said before...though it is at the bottom of these remarks...it is a bit of everything.

Yes the fun topic for all!

Yeah, the diaspora is certainly different!

I forget that it gets that cold there at this time!

I have to do this quote and answer thing backwards...hate that part so confusing!

I hear ya.  Seems a lot have these days. Can't find you all though.  I've even started one but it's just not as interesting for me, not yet.  Jessica is doing well. She's seven months now.  I saw her this morning we voted. 

Adam and Amanda had a great Holloween.  I have pictures to share soon.

All that and then some BFD!  I will get motivated and start reading again too!
