If you want to know why not now? You actually say it in your opening. And then you jump right into the same ugliness you're supposedly decrying.

On the other hand when people are scared for their lives, also not the time to post how your candidate (who lost) had rainbows coming out of her ass, and the fault lies with everyone except her and her campaign. And yeah she won the popular vote, but that she was competing in an electoral college that gave the victory to Bush when Gore won the popular votes was not a giant secret. In short when the reaction to a Trump victoryis a five minute hate of Sanders supporters (who mostly votred for ?Clinton) then yeah, people are going to start telling you what your candidate did wrong.

And "rainbows coming out of her ass"?

Shit like that is why I am just so over reading what strangers have to say about anything on the internet.

Like the event I went to tonight, a presentation by the police Citizen Advisory Board at a local coffee shop, I wouldn't have known about except through fb.

That's cool. How did it turn out? Was the crowd a mix?

Jilli - do you have this Funko POP!

I don't! I have surprisingly few Funko POP! figures, actually. That one is awfully cute.

I am vicariously proud of your mom for taking care of herself like that, sarameg! Inspiring.

That is one setting where i wouldn't mind hearing Hallelujah again, Consuela. What a lovely thing to be a part of. And good luck with the biopsy.

I made it to belly dance, finally. i didn't have time to change my clothes or eat dinner, but I made it AND i haven't forgotten how to do absolutely everything (I have forgotten a lot, but by the end of class movements were starting to feel familiar. I expect I'll be hella sore tomorrow, but right now I feel great.

Well done, t! And sarameg's mom and, well, alla youse. We have a house guest this week, who is an old friend. Nice to have him, but I can never quite relax with a stranger in the house.

Typo Boy, I would also be interested in that blog post, if you wouldn't mind sending me a link, please. Profile addy good.

Sail, late but so many hugs for you and your family. If you hug. If not, 'much comfort to you and everyone.

Callaluna, that is good and welcome news.

I'm sorry about the biopsy awfulness, Consuela. I know a lot of women, including here, that have been very happy to be done with their uteruses. Surgery is always a tough choice, but still sometimes a big relief to your body.

Yay sarameg's mom being open about her health concerns. Sorry Dad is in the denial place. To turn things all mememe, my brain seems to be my weak spot. This is particularly sucky since my livelihood depends on it, but I seem to be able to remember how to write a SQL query when I can't remember that word for that concrete thing people walk on. Brains are funny. I remember hundreds of user names and passwords for my customer base, but remembering if I have gone to this restaurant or seen this movie isn't there. Honestly, it seems to be much better than it was. I am proactive with diet and mental exercise, and even more proactive when it comes to writing down everything I do in my knowledge base so I know where to find things I may not remember. Prevention is a whole lot more effective than trying to fix things once they are broken.

Speaking of broken, still broken about the election. I'm angry about the unfounded character assassination that was directed at Hillary Clinton for decades. I have banished people from my life that participated in it after the election and only regret that I didn't do it sooner. It is against my nature to have such bitterness, but I truly wish nothing but misery and daily attacks from both sides for the donald going forward. Both the left and the right made President Obama's life hell the last 8 years and Trump certainly deserves no better. My flower child peace love inner person keeps saying that I should love my country and want us all to come together in peace and harmony for the best results, but the bile and anger is front and center for now.

Consuela, I hope the biopsy results come back with good news.
