Aww. Well, apparently people hated that and called me an alcoholic/drug addict for doing that, and that, along with the myriad of trolls I gained over my couple years here is part of the reason I quit. I still post fun beer pictures on Twitter, if you ever decide to be more active there. And pictures of me and the…

You’re friends with me on Twitter, aren’t you?

Aw thanks. I don't know if it is all GOMI or not, but I have had an increasing number of trolls creating burners targeting me for the most ridiculous and inane things. Sometimes it was amusing, but sometimes it was hurtful. I figured I was better off just leaving it all behind and keeping in touch with the folks I…

This is Mindymoo. If you want to follow me on Twitter, you can find me there. I’m just done with the Kinja garbage.

I can see that. I was in Cocoa Beach, and as much as I thought manatees were adorable before and their plight sad, I was overwhelmed when I actually saw them in person. I had tears in my eyes. It was just a chance sighting of manatees and it changed my perception of them entirely. Personally, those are the kinds of…

Nononono, you might hit an orca in the head that way!

Pollution! Because pollution!

I’ll just crawl into my little hole and become a breatharian, then. ;-)

Yeah, you have to be able to enter the water though. I live 20 miles from Lake Erie and we frequently have warnings in the summertime to stay the hell away from their beaches because the water is so toxic. In Toledo, for the last two summers, we’ve had a couple of weeks where our tap water was undrinkable from algal…

Well I already don’t eat salmon and don’t live anywhere near the ocean. Kind of hard to participate in beach cleanups when you live in Ohio, you know?

No, but you may be able to take some pictures! Have quality time!

Ah, gotcha.

And if you’re worried about boat strikes and pollution, do it from the shore. Or watch documentaries on Animal Planet.

There are beaches, you know. And binoculars.

One word: binoculars. Stand on the shore and use them.

Damn us! We are to blame for the fall of the concert saloon! That was quality entertainment, I’ll tell you what.

If you want your children to see these things, here’s a novel idea- take them whale watching! Let them see orcas in their natural habitat! Not in what amounts to a fish bowl for unhappy cetaceans. The whales deserve better, and if you really want your children to learn about orcas, the kids deserve better too.

Just have it removed! Lose that pesky weight, get a cool scar, and you don’t have to worry about where your spleen is!

It was sad! As for the controversy with cloning, the only issues I take with it are basically when people have their dogs/cats cloned. Like, you have so many pets that need good homes that are already born, and you’re going to spend tens of thousands of dollars to acquire a twin of the dog/cat you lost? That’s just…

They were! It’s truly a story you have to hear (or watch, if you can find episodes of the TV series because that’s one of the stories they did) in order to get the whole scope of how nuts those people were.
