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've hatched!

It's 1:55 am, and I have insomnia. I suppose it's from the steroid injection today. Thought I might as well do something useful rather than just toss and turn, so decided to get the thread started. I'd do some laundry or something but don't want to disturb my dad or DH.
I'll go read some news, and then check back in later . . .

Hi...
It's a nippy 18 below here this morning...
DH went to a wrestling tourney a couple towns over to watch Grandson but Jason & I snuggling in for the day. Too cold for me to be out traveling.
Joyce...ugh with the insomnia ...that stinks. Hope you aren't feeling any extra aches & pains from the fender bender.
I see Kellyanne Conway wants to be refered to as Tweetie's Chief Consultant or some such title. Think it's more like Chief Nanny....I can hardly stand to listen to her, well, in fact, I can't. She must have a real vendetta against the Clintons because she ALWAYS has to get in a nasty dig every time she opens her mouth. I mean, seriously, your guy won, she lost, take it, move on & get your baby to quit sucking his thumb & acting like a big baby ...Consult & get Tweety acting more Presidential... Earn that "YUGE" salary. Can you tell, she irritates the bejesus out of me.
Anyway, it will be a quiet day here. Think HEALTHY

"Can you tell, she irritates the bejesus out of me." Get out! Who knew? lol.
She even looks sleezy and insincere. That phony smile makes me want to puke. Although that's not entirely her fault. I've noticed most rep/cons look as if it hurts their face to smile. Being friendly simply isn't a natural thing for them. If our eyes are windows to our souls all I ever see in their eyes is darkness, insincerity with a trace of worry that it shows. Just a trace though. lol.

I think we are all agreed about Kelly Anne Conway. She has sold her soul to the devil for sure. And, Linda, you are right about the constant digs at Clinton. The election is over. He won. She lost. So let it go, take the win, and move forward. Spend the time used to hammer at the Clintons, which does nothing for anyone at this point, to try to do something productive for a change.
Have you ever heard that phrase, "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all"? Well, I think that must be referring to us for the past couple of days. After the fender bender yesterday that tore up my right front end, DH took the car to a body shop this morning. Naturally, there had been so many wrecks that we can't even bring the car in for repair until mid-February. On the way home, he stopped at Kroger to pick up a couple of items. He came out got in the driver's side, and came on home. This afternoon I went out into the garage, and lo and behold while he was at Kroger someone hit the right rear end of my car. Tore off part of the bumper, and left green paint all over it. It couldn't be seen from the driver's side, and whoever did it just drove off without leaving a note or anything. There's no way they could have done that damage without realizing they had hit my car. Some people are just sleaze!! So my poor car is a major mess, and evidently is going to be that way for a few weeks. Guess I will be driving my mom and dad's car for awhile. What do you bet the guy who drove off voted for Tweety?!! He was probably some red necked hillbilly with a beat up car himself and not a dime's worth of insurance, but Tweety is going to bring him a better life. In his dreams!!

Joyce I had to giggle at the phrase about luck.. DH & I are always referring to ours as a "black cloud hanging over our head". A couple days ago, 3 things went wrong in one day & we just looked at each other & said " black cloud!" ...Last fall we were out of town & we both went into a store to quickly pick up a couple items before leaving town & we left Jason in the van, when we came out the whole driver side door the of van was dented & scratched. We figured someone had to have been driving a pickup truck for that kind of damage. They left, no note, no nothing. We were hoping they had seen Jason & worried for several days if he had seen enough to report him. But of course, Jason probably didn't even realize what happened. We were only in the store about 15 minutes. I fail to understand, WHY people can't understand honesty & doing the right thing.
Did you hear that Tweety now wants us to be friends with Russia & Putin & it's only the "stupid people" who fail to realize this would be a good thing. What in gods name is going to happen to this country in the next 4 years with this idiot as President.
Paul Ryan, the darn coward, locks his door & hides in his office rather than meet with people from his own state who were delivering signed petitions to save Planned Parenthood. They finally gave the petions to the Dem Rep who gladly met with them... What a wuss he is!
For the first time in my life I have real fears about where this country is heading. And more fears that so many people are finding discrimination, racism, snarky behavior, bullying, etc is totally ok now that Tweety is their leader. It frustrates me too no end that common sense, acceptance, decency, understanding & goodwill towards others is getting trampled on.
As for those still whine & complain about the Clintons & Obama's, well, heck they don't have one darn thing to brag about for the idiot they elected so, it's just easier to make themselves feel so much better & smarter to trash Hilary & Bill & President Obama. Too narrow minded to think outside the box. Whatever. I hope buyers remorse kicks their sorry behinds hard!...😉
Anyway, that's my whine for the evening...

Well said, Linda, and I couldn't agree more. I feel exactly the same way.

I'm telling you people just don't do the right thing anymore. I believe it's only going to get worse with a maniac at the helm. Common decency, being polite, and just doing the right thing seems to be considered weak and wimpy. You know the way all those bleeding heart libruls behave.
Have you noticed how many times a complete stranger comes along and screws up your life? Ugh.
I'm glad you have access to another vehicle, Joyce. At least you don't have to go out and rent one. That's a good thing.
Have a safe day everyone.

Joyce, I was telling my spouse what happened to your car. Spoken like a true New Yorker, she reminded me they have security camera's in those parking lots and perhaps you or the police could take a look at them and maybe get a licence plate or something else helpful in finding out who smashed your car. Just figured I'd pass that along.

Thanks Pat! Actually my step-son mentioned the same thing. We did go back to the store and had the police come out for a report. The police officer and store manager said they checked the security tapes and didn't see anything, but honestly I don't really think they checked. They didn't let DH go with them to view the tapes, they were only gone a very short while, and they didn't check the tapes at all that point into the parking lot from the gas pumps so they didn't really look. But, it is what it is so we'll just have to live with it. It really makes me angry though.

"It really makes me angry though."
Understandable, Joyce. I'd be very angry too.
The reason they didn't let your DH see the tapes probably has something to do with privacy. The tapes are only meant to be viewed by store managers. The cameras are there to protect store property. We're big on our privacy you know. That's why there's a camera on every corner but don't get me started. lol. I don't know if the store even has to allow the cops to view it.
Although, the news plays pieces of tapes all the time asking people if they can identify this thief. Usually a waste of time because it's nothing more than a huge blur or a clear shot of a ski mask or a winter hat pulled over someone's head. So, I'm probably wrong about that privacy thing.
