Beachnut, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so lousy, I hope it resolves itself soon (hug). The head, sinus cold thing can make everything terrible.
As for me, while I don't partake in the political banter, I don't mind it, it didn't run me off. Simply trying to balance new duties at work, my newfound family, obsession with WoW, Roger's new project (Spring Break is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, time flies) and all my appliances dying at once.
Today is a snow day, praise God (so I can work from home!

).
