: I'm now on Twitter Why, I really have no idea?!? (I don't say much)

Note: I'm always half busy. Busy doing one of my 'hobbies'. Jamming to Eric Clapton, BB King, or to .... The Band. Their song 'The Weight' has some deep meaning to it. I knew when I was younger but didn't appreciate it. Go word by word through the lyrics and you'll see. Maybe ;-). Or I'll doing what I've been doing since 1955 -- Taking Photographs.
Now that digital cameras have reached the picture quality of film, I'm back into it with new gear. And what I save on processing pays for all of it. And I get to process an image the way I saw it when I composed the frame and clicked the shutter. Not 'Joey' working in the Lab for $15.00 an hour.
So I'll be here and then I won't. And when it's won't, that means gone until 'tomorrow'. As such some comments will not get a reply. Sorry 'bout that'. And that that for now.

My Rules on responding to comments made on threads:

If your profile page is blank don't bother to comment. You will be ignored, I do NOT respond to 'Phantoms'.

If you are too lazy, or are too ~~afraid~~ Chicken-sheet to even have your State Flag on your profile page, see Rule #1.

If you are a Newbie you are immediately suspect of being a TROLL. I may, or may NOT respond.

If you ARE a TROLL beware! The Viking Kitties are always on watch. You will be found and Zotted.

Sometimes I CAN'T respond to a comment after I post. There's times I just have to go, and quick. No disrespect intended.

I preview and edit my comments -- a lot -- before posting, and I type slooooow. So don't get your panties in a wad if I don't respond to a (((( PING )))) in two minutes.
Sorry, but I will not usually respond *today* to a comment I made on some thread a day or two ago.
I can barely recall what I wrote an hour ago let alone a day or two and what I was thinking at that time.

I can't respond to all the pings. But I do try to read the (((( pinged )))) thread.

My FR General Rule #1: The Mods RULE over all. Hail to JimRob and John!
My FR General Rule #2: FReepers, please note: 'Alot' is not a word. It's two words: 'a lot'. There's 'allot' but that's entirely different (so don't be a DUmmie, we're better than that).
My FR General Rule #3 on FReepmail: If you're a Newbie, or I don't 'really' know you from Threads, I will 'prolly' not even READ it let alone answer it. So save us both a lot of time and don't send me any. Thanks in advance ;-)
My FR General Rule #4: FREE Lazamataz! C'mon Mods, you're always sending Laz off to FR detention :-(
And now, for the rest of my 'stuff'.......

WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great-Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Article III, Section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
