Then another opposing neuron fired the thought "But what about the essential hope for the future?". These ping-ponged back and forth a while before calling it a draw so I could move on to your next post.

There are plenty of days that I'm not at all successful. Life has a way of getting in the way.Most of my days have an edge to them that keeps whittling away at me. Man do I ever hate to bleed. I do a lot of bleeding but it's been quite some time since I found a bug on my pillow.
