Guy, I know what you mean by not having time for anything anymore.. I am also so busy most days I can not get near a pen let alone a keyboard and you have to understand that is not easy for me.  U have written since I could and to not have time or energy to do it is truly new to me.  I do hope you do not leave for good.  Your brand of humor and talent writing is not found too often in here and it would be a great loss to those of us that enjoy you so much.  Be well my friend...xoxoxo

Sinome, I'm always glad to hear from you, TOO! MEGA busy W/spring work.
      I've already had to cut the Sagehaven #1 lawn four times, (in less than three weeks!) garden, deliver meals, and deal with a whole crazy/lazy family of wild Indians, sore arthritic hands, and am waiting for the water level to drop enough at Marilyn's house to be able to cut the grass there, as well as find someone with a trailer hitch, to allow me to bring the riding mower from my house. Hitler is in heat again, following me around everywhere, rubbing up against me, monopolizing my lap and picking fights with Hazel and Baby daily and nightly.
      I'm getting worn to a frantic, frayed frazzle, and cannot afford to ever even contemplate retirement or stop to rest for very long. Good thing that I'm still healthy!
      Add all this into the fact that blogging and bloggers have apparently started being seen as being stuffy, passe', and not as new or easy to post things on, as it is to twitter, squeak, squawk or whatever it is, that the really small minds can enthusiastically partake in, with all those who have similar sized minds and can now speak them, in 140 characters or fewer.
      I guess that I'm just disappointed, a bit dejected, and feeling the weight of the world resting upon my shoulders right now. I still read and comment to all my favorite bloggers, but the days are slipping by, where I just don't feel like posting anything and then receiving almost nothing in return.
      You probably shouldn't be worried that I'm leaving blogit, though. Until I can no longer afford to pay the monthly freight to Shaycom, I'll probably still keep paying it, which should prove to me that I'm also losing what is left of my alleged mind.
           Guy

I know I will not shop there anymore! And I am not surprised the French are behind it; they still remain ungrateful even to this day! sam

Re: northsage45
Wiley my friend,
     Thank you for doing the research on this. I have no idea how this is done, but if I did, I would have checked for myself.
     Since what what my boss sent me, (the blog) appears to be just a baseless lie, I think that both she and I have been duped. It seems that only a couple of days ago I read about some kind of smear campaign being spread around, but I think that it was between fast food franchises, or computer companies.
     How sad if things have deteriorated so badly in the last decade or two, that BUSINESS people must stoop so low, as to be able to limbo beneath a snake's belly, just trying to stay in their subjective businesses. 
      If I have forwarded this, and it turns out to have been part of a big smear, I sincerely apologize to Target Corporation, and will be certain to correct any lingering doubts about this company, to the best of my meager abilities,.
     Thanks again, Wiley. One day you'll have to teach me how to pull up the facts, as you have done here today.
            Your credulous, too gullible, friend,
                    Guy

Target Corporation, often called Target, is an American retailing company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is the second-largest discount retailer in the United States, behind Walmart.[5][6] The company is ranked at number 30 on the Fortune 500 as of 2010 and is a component of the Standard & Poor's 500 index. Its bullseye trademark is licensed to Wesfarmers, owners of the separate Target Australia chain.

The company was founded in 1902 as the Dayton Dry Goods Company, though its first Target store was opened in 1962 in nearby Roseville, Minnesota. Target grew and eventually became the largest division of Dayton Hudson Corporation, culminating in the company being renamed as Target Corporation in 2000. On January 13, 2011, Target announced its expansion into Canada. Target will operate 100 to 150 stores in Canada by 2013, through its purchase of leaseholds from the Canadian chain Zellers.

Has this been checked out - that it's not just a smear campaign? Not that I shop there anyway, but I know that kind of stuff happens (smearing).

I knew there must be some reason I didn't like to shop at Target.
