This is a conservative thread to allow those with conservative views to express themselves. We welcome Republicans, Tea Party folks, and those who believe in the Constitution as written, not as interpreted by liberal judges. If you have liberal views we invite you to participate in a civil and respectful conversation. We would respectfully request that if you cannot post in a respectful and civil manner to refrain from doing so until you can. Good discussions are great - insulting arguments are not. We welcome discussions about our weight loss journey.

Hi, coming down to the wire. I hope we hold and increase both Senate and House.
I have gotten rid of all the Halloween candy. Didn't eat much of it, which is great for me. Have been recouping from Michael, then my husband fell and broke his wrist.

Elliana, Sorry your DH broke his wrist. I hope he recovers soon. My DD has a cast on her right hand though the cast goes up her arm. She is developmentally disabled. Were you in an area affected by Michael? I am trying to remember to put my clocks back tonight. We have that on our ballots on Tue, do we want day light saving time? It doesn't make any difference to me so I didn't vote on that one. I sent my vote in a week ago.
Have a good evening.

Meg, so sorry about your daughters arm. I hope it is something that can improve. My younger brother was also disabled. He was an amazing little brother, he was six years younger than me, and he was pretty much my constant companion until I graduated from HS and moved away. Unfortunately we lost him at the age of thirty in 1986.
Yes we got hit, though of course not as bad as many. (Georgia) Three entwined trees took out our two carports and of course damaged the car under one of the carports. Luckily we were in Indiana on a pre-planned visit when Michael reared his head. We drove back home the day after it hit. It took a while go get rid of the trees and carports. We are now in the process of getting the car fixed and a new carport. The tree was in the neighbors yard, and it also took out a section of the fence. That should be easily replaced though.

well here we are the day before the election. I don't know about you but I am tired of listening to the talking heads on TV speculating about the different races so I have turned the TV off until the voting is over and I might watch the results. Of course after the results are in they will start speculating about the next election.
Elliana, I an sorry you suffered some damage when Michael hit but I am glad you didn't suffer as much as some people. Just got a call this morning my DD is in the hospital. She fell a few weeks ago and broke a bone in her hand. She has been wearing a soft cast but her hand had been swelling but the Dr. thought it was ok but apparently she has an infection.
Have a good evening.

Oh dang, so sorry for your DD. I hope she gets better soon.
I just took a break from watching old reruns. Like you I don't want to hear the smarmy talking heads.
Either way, I will go on and be happy. There is always next election.

I have checked some of the results but have not got too much pushed out of sorts about the election. The results are always much the same in California as it is a Democratic state. I will be happy with the results no matter what they are at the end of the day. We have seen too much bitterness between Democrats & Republicans. Time for us all to behave like grown ups.

I do hope they have finished counting votes in Florida. My granddaughter lives there.

We are finally coming to the end here in GA. Abrams is threatening to call for a whole new vote, but I don't think that will happen. Nor should it. She lost, she just needs to accept it and move on.

IT IS RAINING HERE IN California TODAY so we have a lot to be thankful for. I also give thanks for all the firefighters and all the people who worked in very difficult conditions. The work is not over but I hope that they can have a break to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families.
My prayers are with those who lost their homes and I hope they can put their lives back together again. I also pray for those who grieve and you have my love and best wishes.
Peace be with you.
