It seems I missed out on all the fun...

I'm one of those who usually stay out of the messy stuff.  I've been gone a while, and for once i'm glad for it.  I don't know what's been going on, but I'm glad I missed it.

I'm the same way-  the energetically empathic- I totally understand.  Cute crab!

hmm I hope no one got the impression that I was calling you a crab...
I just thought he was cute...

That's a cute crab. I guess he can read comments.

No, I have never felt duped by anything you've written. You have good talent, and come by it honest. It takes skill to come up with a headline that does what it is supposed to. It's another thing entirely to bid everyone come, with the appearance of naming someone as a great person or elucidating a point, only to be left reading another sickly self-study.

Azur, mental image of holding skirts high and picking path through all the
mud.

There was never any danger here
you  could call me blissfully clueless but I just clicked around all the (over)-reactionary stuff for which I have no time these days.

Julia, you pulled a fast one on us.  Well,I'm glad you're back from your short trip and I hope you intend to stay.  I would really miss you if you left. 

So, how do I get the crabby?  Where's he at?  I see Passion got him, but I need to know how.  Glad you're back!

Sorry, I have to overrule that, the official penalty for crabbiness is
babysitting for me.

Ditto. Thanks for CRABBY. I see myself using "it" on occasion. Love that U

are alwasy thinking about our micoscosm and how to make the petru dish less negative, less germ-y and more tolerant even of negative sorts. That is our real and important work on the planet. God is easier to get along with than some humans...Shalom

 WELCOME BACK GIFT for U

Julia., Cute crab. Wasn't there a blogger named Crabby a while ago?

I like the levity of adding a dancing crab. I agree, being bombarded with  energy, all kinds of energy in a city, for anyone who's sensitive to other people's energy, like you are and I am, makes me want to leave the city and a public space quickly.  . 

But I like people, so it's a balancing act, because people are full of the good, the bad and the ugly (myself included).  Nice to see you!

I share your reluctance
to enter cities. When I return to my birth country (South Africa) I can hardly cope with the driving and the shopping malls leave my claustophobic and flustered. Good to see you again and great idea with the crab.

I'm been really bummed too...

I'm super senstive and the negative vibes just about kill me.
