I have a friend who married a girl from Kansas. Since their first child was born she's been wanting to move back "to be closer to her family." He's entertaining the idea.

I don't think he knows what he's getting into. Sadly, he doesn't care, either. School choices, education and opportunity come second to "we can buy a lit of land for really cheap."

But where in Kansas? That can make a tremendous difference, about which I have a little experience.

I think Hays, Lily Alice​. Western Kansas, near the Colorado border in one of those dinky pass-through towns.

Wow. Well, I've driven through there. There is a university, and it's on the road to Denver, so...it could be worse...

I personally feel that they together should pray about the situation. I have in past relationships and am currently living close to my new husband's family and it causes a lot of marital problems!!! It says in God's word, The Bible, "A man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife and the two shall become one"! That is difficult to do if you have family (his or hers) nearby butting in to marital issues!!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR DECISION!!!!

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
