There is a time for everything - This is the time to say Good Bye

[video:https://youtu.be/g3ENX3aHlqU]
I love you all and thank all of you for everything. I never will forget the EBers and us 99percenters. May be we will meet again somewhere over the rainbow. In peace and God willing.
Thank You, Joe and JtC. May the wind always be in your back, though I know it always blow in your face and both of you keep on going with a few good men and women. Bless you all.

@JtC

...and, I'm stating that from this comment:

https://caucus99percent.com/comment/417702#comment-417702

...and this from this post:

C99p is my only life line to the US since I had to go back to Germany and it is very important to me to just understand the country, where I lived for the last 35 years. I was isolated in the US and am even more now that I am back in Germany. So, I hope that C99p will make it through the hard times to come. I would be miserable without having their anchor to rescue me. I'll drop something in JtC's piggy bank. ~ mimi

(Bold type is my emphasis.)

I think it's important that if anyone has Mimi's direct contact info, they should reach out to her, ASAP!

Why are you leaving us, mimi?

Your perspective is so unique, mimi. No one can add what you bring here. However, if you've gotta go, you've gotta go. I'm sure everyone agrees that you'll be most welcome should you decide to return at some point down the road.

I'll miss you.

Peace to you.

Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.

in the past, and/or concerned about getting a bit too attached to online activities--making you feel as though you need to take a break. Thankfully, you've always come back.

So, here's wishing you a nice break and respite--look forward to seeing you again, down the road.

(Hopefully, in the not too distant future--you know you can't stay away during the entire 2020 election cycle. Biggrin )

Is not necessarily a bad idea. But I am very sorry to hear you are feeling blue and isolated. Perhaps you might want to look into meet up groups based on similar interests? I don't know what the equivalent is in Germany, but my Sister has met some lovely people through her meetup.com theater group.

Also if you like to cook and are willing to host people interested in German food, or if you would rather be an "ambassador" on behalf of hosts that do not speak English, here's a company that is looking for both: https://www.travelingspoon.com

We'll be here when you come back, but the meantime, please take care of yourself.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

as I said to JtC I want to be logged on to here forever, but want to stop talking and live an internet-free life, like an off-the-grid online non-communicating singing fat lady.

Hello mimi if you ever ever want to think about returning to the US, it is probably a good idea to stfu about politics in public right now, because fascists are the new data collectors. thanks obama

Not a gbcw but I decided I am not a public/private kinda gal, so I turned off Private Messaging and what you see is what you get here. Still, I got a couple of messages anyway and today I finally read them (waves hi to all). There is no "private" me anymore, I am a public radical bitch letting it all hang out. But I also know when I am not wanted, and why go where you're not wanted?

I'm next! The disabled are next, as far as cutting off support and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Because facebook and twitter arguments spike dopamine, and "if you're not on facebook, you're nobody" says jimmy dore to his half million "followers" jhfc good luck.
Nothing stays the same, except the UniParty but I digress...

Yesterday at the laundromat I met the "pink bike lady" I used to see her on the river path all the time until her chain broke. I still don't know her name but now I know she raised four sons here and they are all marine corps veterans. semper fi what could I say? They are struggling and so am I. same same
Her and I, we are both on the verge of homelessness because the D-Values economy is so fucking great for the poor in California, already great. Even Bernie says there are too many poor people trying to come here, that is how fucking great it is. Pink Bike Lady told me he is a communist, and we agreed to not vote for him. lol After that we didn't talk about voting, but where are we supposed to live? Nobody knows. Nobody 2020.

PEACE
merry meet and merry part

Can you elaborate on this further? Is someone here harassing you in the PMs? You can PM me if you want to discuss it in private.

@JtC @JtC oh gosh no, private messages don't harass me. I'm lazy exhausted and thought turning off PMs would be less work. The next day I logged in there was a PM, and then there was another yesterday I think. Maybe they are both from admins, but the messages weren't about my bad behaviors so I don't really know for sure. User error? The Contact box is unchecked, where do I check who the admins are now? I forget.

In fact someone from here sent me money after some PM'ing, it kinda restored my faith in humanity and that was cool, even though I had to send it back. I don't mind sharing my postal address to anyone here, it's just... I am trying to make my own stubborn utopia in real life, where exchanging bank dollars is the absolute last thing to consider. Lastly, but not leastly. Cheers, and thanks for hosting this blog JtC. Thanks a lot.

peace and love

you'll find the moderator list in the Site menu in the sidebar and there is a FAQ about it also, hover over the Navigation link in the header at the top of the page and then select the FAQ link. Take it easy my friend.

However, if, as some on the thread believe, you are depressed, please reach out to someone IRL. Or maybe volunteer. Nothing helps me more. And, no matter what, certainly find sources of smiles and laughs.

I hope you change your mind and stay around or maybe at least check in with us once in a while. But I understand about taking digital breaks too. I always enjoy your comments, so full of heart and soul.

All the best to you.
