GONE FISHING AGAIN

I hope this find you all in good shape, as best as can be expected in these times. Gonna keep this short.

Please accept my apologies for simply disappearing, dear readers. However I hit the tipping point when beginning last weekend's post. I was working away and my paintshop stopped working. That was just the proverbial straw to that camel's back. Suddenly there was no juice left. Put it down and have not paid much attention to anything political since then. 

Add to that my vocabulary seems to be disappearing on me. Finding words has become much more difficult these past few months. I find this to be extremely bothersome. 

This is a much needed hiatus, the depression of dealing with this material can be very real. My sorrow at the situation of the world is real. Ennui has me in its grip; who cares if the dishes pile up? Tired of the political confusion everywhere. As are we all, I know. 

Not done yet, just gone off on a fishing trip. Be back soon. This work means too much for me to stop but there is thinking to be done on a few things. Could be a week, could be a month. But it ain't over.

Stay well.

  2. Hi Noor,

    No worries, everyone needs a break from all the BS that's going on in the world, and the lies politicians feed us daily, in Canada, the USA and Europe. We're at war with politicians who used to be elected, but are now selected. Traitors to the western world.
    I don't want the job, but maybe you could/should train someone to take over for you from time to time?
    Take care :) And no sleeping with the fishes...

  3. I empathize with you, what is the word for a complete stranger who feels like a friend/twin soul, I don't know. Turn it off, its necessary for your mental health. Really happy you are well.

  4. Just want you to know that I start anticipating your website by Wednesday, as possibly the highlight of the week! That is why we all feel so lost and depleted when it is not there, new in all its freshness and delight, each Saturday a.m.! Stay well, many blessings, and keep the faith! Father God, please bless this wonderful woman with renewed faith, vim and vigor for the fight! Recharge all her batteries and bring her back to us all better than ever, restored and strengthened. It is in Christ's Name we pray, amen and amen!

  6. I stopped by this way again just recently Noor. It is a delight and an inspiration for me to see you still having such a great site with such fantastic dedication & input.

    Would you believe that my last post here was Dec 2012? I ‘went fishing’ just over 10 years ago and almost to the anniversary day recently I found the need once more to join the conversation.

    As the Aussies say – sometimes you just need to go walk-about wherever it takes you.

    I seem to remember a lovely photo and a tiny wee one on your lap. Tiny no more I’m sure.

    May God bless and come back if you are ready.

  8. Hi Noor,
    Thanks for letting us know and hopefully you get some rest. Sometimes you have to detach yourself from all this insanity going on. I wish you can recharge your battery and really appreciate all your work and postings in the past!
    Take good care, Charlie

  16. Noor, glad you are OK. We don't realize the full value of what you do until it is not available. Snip/snap is the first website I visit every Saturday morning at 7am. Last week was a wake-up call

    So glad to see that you are ok. Get some rest, and recharge a bit. Us internet folks will always be here, demanding you entertain us, so DO NOT think you are letting us down. If you can come back we'll be happy to see you. If you cannot, then just let us know that you are ok every once in a while. God bless you.

  22. Hello...maybe I can help? Your site is a weekly "must have" for me...truth and freedom should never die. The power of "the words" have evolved into the power of the meme! hausmannwilliam777@gmail.com William
