Such conversations though have become fewer and further between. We need to embrace and appreciate the light moments of connection.

I think the “point” of this thread was to add a much needed gentle, light touch to the TOTV conversations.

As William Wordsworth said in his 1807 sonnet, “The world is too much with us.”

Wordsworth could never have imagined how eerily applicable his words would still be 215 years later.

I sincerely invite you to join in and maybe share with us what you think of what the list said about your home state’s favorite dessert.

Agreed.

Discussions, here and elsewhere, don't randomly "turn" ugly. But there are people in the world who aren't satisfied until every one else's world is as ugly and bitter as they see their own.
