agree, I was about to say this too. They locked in whatever benefit they are hoping for.

sometimes a cost is just worth bearing

absolutely not

And someone who genuinely seems to like the people who live here.

Gotta say, the incest in that post kind of threw me for a loop

Grateful to hear this and for your posting. Thank you.

We have to stand for our principles

It was a real emotional roller coaster. Loved it.

That’s an easy one. I can fall asleep anywhere.
