We are a group of like-minded people that gather to discuss a host of topics from weight loss, to current events. Our thread celebrates liberal diversity, welcomes new friends, and respects all opinions. We count everything from calories to points but, we never count our chickens before they are hatched.

What a sad day for our country when the pretend president doesn't dare condemn racism, white supremacy, misogyny, neo-nazism, etc. because those are the very people who put him into the WH. Disgusting!
Pence did make a statement condemning those things. I doubt it was from any serious moral conviction, but suspect it is because he is trying to position himself to make a run for the WH, and is trying to build a base among more moderate Rs than the alt-right. What do you think?

On a personal note, I am hopeful that things are looking up for my family. Yesterday there was a dramatic difference in my mom's alertness and general attitude. I'm crediting the transfusion for that, and hoping that it was not just a fleeting thing but will last for awhile. My dad spent the day with her which was a far cry from the 90th birthday celebration/69th wedding anniversary celebration we had planned, but they were happy to be together. Some family came from out of town to visit with them, and they were both able to enjoy that. Yesterday was a bright spot in what has been a week of dark days.
Linda, hope you are feeling better and will be able to join us again soon. You are missed, dear friend.

nashville11 , was just catching up the last few days - I'm so sorry your mom has been having such a rough time of it. I know how much of a personal toll it takes on you and DH as well. I'm glad to hear yesterday was an improvement. Those kinds of days are a real gift to the daily slog. As far as JA, they are his base - its just like with Vlad - never a harsh word, no matter how reprehensible. @ika5 - hope you feel better soon!

Good morning to all. Just popping in to send prayers and positive thoughts to Nashville and her Mom. You both have been on a roller coaster and I feel so bad for you both. As for current affairs - where do I start. What can I say. Except to ponder who is the biggest egotistical man child with the smallest hands? Or the worst coiffure, for that matter.  |
