Okay, Here’s the Deal

Sharing Options

I need to explain a few housekeeping details for the blog, information that will be relevant for the next couple of weeks. Nancy and I are getting away for a few weeks of vacay, and we may or may not have an Internet connection, I may or may not feel like blogging, and I may or may not have anything to say. So what I have resolved to do is this.Tongue

Going through the archives, I made a list of posts I would not mind putting into circulation again, and I have put them all on a schedule, at least one recycled post every morning. This is to keep a semblance of new content on the front page, and also to answer my critics who don’t like it that I don’t recycle. That should start Wednesday morning, as in, tomorrow.

This way I can just take it easy, and not worry about anything. Of course, if Donald Trump declares himself to be the return of Sun Myung Moon, I will probably emerge to say something. Otherwise, if you want to maintain that wired connectedness that the apostle Paul talked so much about, you will have to look for Nancy or me on Instagram. We will be taking pictures of where we are going, and it won’t be downtown Detroit.

Looking forward to archival reminders. Have a great time. No doubt you will come back fired up about a raft of stuff.

Recycling? No! Now you must be plagiarizing yourself! ; – )

Have a great vacation while your evil twin does his stuff! ; – )

I’m sorry, it’s hard to take seriously people who say things like that.

Pretentious (whether ironic or sincere) is still better than hipster.

Improvement idea:
“not doug wilson’s” bad comment was deleted. Rather than just deleting bad comments, could another catagory be added to the Controversy Library?
How about new catagory be called “The Troll Preserve”, a respository for bad comments?
This way “not doug wilson’s” and other weak comments would remain on file,
including “not doug wilson’s” really creepy icon! ; – )

Have a wonderful time on your (erp, gag) “vacay”

No, seriously, have a wonderful time.

And there I was sure you were going to Greektown and Tiger Stadium for the duration. Come on, just ’cause the Tiggers are losing doesn’t mean you shouldn’t vacation there!

Have a blessed vacation!

Some off us have been doing our own recycling by looking back over some of your older posts.

Ironically enough, the “creation and food” tag for me.

Doug, I haven’t seen Dunsworth or Ian Miller lately.

Did they get banned?

I cannot imagine Doug not having anything to say. Especially for several weeks.

Any guesses as to where the Wilson’s are headed? Alaska, Africa or Antartica? Enjoy the respite Doug.

Perhaps preparing a city of refuge in Texas in case anyone wins the presidency and we have to secede? :)

I wish the comment sections on the new old posts weren’t closed. Doug is always trying to shut down free expression and discourse.

I really don’t think so in this case because I have encountered the same issue on other websites. Maybe it is a site rule. I thought that we could just tag our comments onto a current topic, with a subject line so that people know which post we are discussing.
