Dear Mindy,

There comes a time when one needs to stand up for the principle rather than give in to an argument that seems to make sense.  In my personal life I don't allow certain materials in my home.  I don't want them on my computer, either, regardless of whether or not they are in my face everyday.  I'm not trying to be a self-righteous prude, but this stuff I object to is garbage and has hit me where I live.  Through sad experience with one of my own children, I know how destructive it can be.  I know I'm being a bit obtuse- can't provide details, but the decision stands.

I wish everyone well, but right now I can't stop thinking about our friend Dirk and what he's having to endure.  Now, that is a matter of grave importance.

Logging off with love,

Linda
