    Still. Assholes.
    I'm not sure what subforum you were reading. I agree that there are a few jerks. But I've also born witness on RBR--mostly within the Lounge--of some of the best sides of humanity. True kindness, wisdom and ceaseless support from both men and women.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Trust me; I've ranted a time or two to my husband about stuff on the Lounge. Last week, I even got on my husband's case about a comment that he made on there that was out of line. I don't post much there myself. I mostly just read. I'm consistently moved and impressed with the wisdom and thoughtfulness there in threads about the more serious parts of life. I love TE, too, but for different reasons.

    The Lounge will always have a special place in my heart, they were all there for me when my Dad got sick. It's pretty amazing when you get so much support from a group of invisible friends.

    Other forums within RBR? Meh....kinda strange....and yes, there are some true AH's there.

    +1 to what Snap and Indy said. I stay mostly in the Lounge....the rest of the subforums are just too weird most of the time.

    Dear Large Vehicle Drivers:

    what the f--- is it with you? First, a logging truck hits and kills a cyclist because "he didn't have room to move over." Now, a bus driver has hit a cyclist because he tried to pass without giving enough clearance. At least both drivers were cited, but really????
    Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

    Crap. Thank goodness the second cyclist survived, but even so, there's no excuse. And the first is simply tragic.

    Mimi and RD- My heart goes out to you both. May there always be at least a glimmer of light, even in the darkness. We will both be thinking of you two.

    Dear misguided person(s) who stole Donald's bike last night:

    Edited now that I got my ranting & raving out of my system

    You must not have any clue what you have done, no-one can be that awful (I hope). Please return Katrina to Donald & Mimi, safe and sound and soon. Thank you.
