Yes, I just traveled from E. to W. Coast and my hours were all screwed up yesterday. Thanks for the reminder!
Political forums--THIS is the best forum with the best people too I might add.
Give it time......
Actually we are a pretty darn good bunch of folken here. I am a member on only one other group (prince.org) and this place is the bestest!
The Hot Topic forum is closed during all of Marsha's non-working hours, not just during her work trips or vacations.
Give it time......
No it isn't........
Give it time......
I so agree. I am on FB but not that much and Twitter but not that much. I love this place--I mean--you all are SK fans--what could be better? I post political stuff on FB and I think I should stick to that.

Thanks FlakeNoir, I realize that now. I was also unused to the time zone difference because we flew to the W. Coast the day before. I was still on E. Coast time. Thanks for the explanation!
John's response to you is honorable as well. Being reasonable is a hallmark that more folks should reach for.
I can't tell you how often friends and family get straight up angry and unreasonable when discussing politics.
Thanks to you both.
I really love this place because here, people can discuss all kinds of topics but still be respectful. And i definitely agree, John's response was as honorable as it could be. This is so refreshing!
Thanks much, DiO'Bolic--and can I add that you do a pretty good job yourself.Yup, Hot Topics is closed 4:00pm till 8:30am weekdays EST and closed all weekend.
You're a-o-k with me in HT. You have a fire in your heart and strength in your words... And that's a good thing.
Thank you so much. I was all screwed up because we just flew to the W. Coast. I've got it now--and thank you for the reminder. I hope you are relaxing after the busy tour. I had so much fun in Brooklyn!
I enjoy posting politics here too, and except for maybe another closed place, it's the only place I do. Mostly. I have friends, family, and colleagues of all different persuasions on Facebook, and it's so easy to get crosswise with somebody.
I know that when a business contact on Facebook is on a political rant that I think is quite irrational and unfounded, I start second-guessing whether I should be tossing business that person's way. If they're that angry, that unreasonable, and that unmindful of what they say in public, do I want to send clients to them?
I don't even blog my political leanings, much, for the same reason. But this is my haven for that kind of expression.

It's torn families apart too. My mother is deceased (R.I.P.) but she raised me to be a huge leftie and an environmentalist. She was very into politics and raised me with a lot of awareness with the political system. She ran and won different offices on the local level (she was our town's mayor for several years and worked on the city commission). It was like living politics with her. My sister agrees with me because my Mom had a huge influence on her as well--also for feminism too--my mom was a HUGE feminist. So that was cool. I think she instilled that passion in me.
