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.

Good morning everyone,, I am feeling very stiff and sore this morning. I lost my balance in he kitchen and fell and hit my upper right arm on the way down. My upper right arm is very swollen.. I wasn't able to get up and DGD came home from work and she couldn't get me up so we had to call 911. I didn't want to go ER so I am here elevating my arm and using ice packs. I know I didn't break anything but I am going to be very stiff & sore for awhile.
I haven't been following the news much over the weekend.

Ouch, Meg. Falls happen so fast. Hope you are not too stiff tomorrow. Glad I'm not in the snow area for back East.
Stay safe in the storm.
I know my President is hard at work.
Sleep well.

Sorry to hear about your fall Meg. Falls can be devastating especially for us older people. I took a fall while I was spreading my rock last year and I was sore for a while.
I had the carpet on my screened in porch pulled up today. Flooring beneath looks good! He cleaned it up for painting and finished putting the first layer of paint on the porch. Looks great! He will put another coat on tomorrow and I should get my rugs from Walmart Wednesday. Can't wait for new look!
Duh!!! Thought my AC wasn't working in the new car but checked the manual and I had to push the right button to turn it on! LOL
Just listened to Tucker Carlson trying to elicit a straight answer out of a Planned Parenthood representative about whether a 5 1/2 week old fetus with a heartbeat is a living human being. He never did get a straight answer from her.

Happy Tuesday everyone, I didn't listen to the new yesterday so I am not up to date on the state of affairs. But it doesn't change much from day to day.
Gary I like Tucker Carlson but I missed him last evening. I kept falling asleep and I slept late this morning. My arm is still stiff and sore and still very swollen with a huge bruise. But I do feel better today than yesterday.
Cat, I am glad you did not have to deal with the storm. You have had enough snow in Portland this year.
Our strawberry plants are starting to bloom and the daffodils are blooming so spring is in the air.
Have a great day everyone.

Breaking news, Rachel Maddow had Trump's 2005 tax return, and it came back to bite her in the butt. LOL
I have never watched her and know nothing about her except she is the idol of the liberals. Just like Kate or Left Side Annie was to the old liberal group on WW message boards.

I am watching the story of Trump's 2005 tax return unfold and I am amazed at the length the liberals will go to discredit him. Turns out he paid MORE in taxes at a higher rate than either Obama or Bernie Sanders who keep harping about how the rich should pay more taxes. Just amazing!

The President certainly is fighting off the wolves, so to speak. Stay strong, Mr. President.
Meg, how is the arm?
Gary, how do the rugs look?
My hometown area in NY got 24 inches of snow. I think we have 24 inches of rain here. Mudslides continue to be a danger.
Sleep well.

Geri, I didn't know who Rachel Maddow was, though the name sounded familiar. Well in trying to discredit the President she made a fool of herself and she may well go to jail for having his tax information and making it public
Gary,I agree that the Liberals will go t any length to discredit the President or any other person who gets in their way.
Geri, I am glad you are in Portland and not NY though have had a lot of snow this winter. My arm is till stiff. I have a huge bruise from my shoulder to my elbow and wraps the whole way around my arm and it is swollen. I have been using ice packs to get the swelling down. My balance is way off so I am sure I should be using a walker. I will see my Dr. on Friday and I will get my weekly iron fusion while I am there. Old age is not for sissies.

I heard a liberal judge blocked Trump's second travel ban. Not at all surprising, but we need to get Judge Gorsuch confirmed ASAP before Trump's agenda gets totally trashed.
My rugs didn't come in today. Guess they need 2 people to deliver them because they are too bulky for one person to move. The painting of the deck is done and looks great, and I had them move the bulky table, grill, and a desk back in but had them place them at one end so I can roll out one of the rugs and move stuff.

Guess I spoke too soon. The rugs were delivered this morning and it only took one girl to bring them in! I haven't rolled them out yet. In fact, my gf wants me to hold one of them until she can get here to position it right so the diamonds will match up and we will have to cut out a corner where my steps come into the porch.

Darn!!! My rugs may be too big! I laid one down both ways. The 8 foot side fits about right across, but the 10 foot side is too long to fit across the porch the way I envisioned it. No way both will fit the area I have so we may either have to cut one of them or return one and get a smaller one.

The way the liberals on the other thread are ranting and raving I'm surprised they aren't raising their blood pressure to the point of a stroke or heart attack. I have much more to think about than politics. I hated Obama and his policies but I didn't obsess about them so much I made myself sick. The entire premise of the liberal argument against Trump is that he is a liar. Yes, Trump says things in tweets he has to walk back or explain, but I see that as his way of venting and going around the dishonest liberal media and giving them rabbits to chase while he gets the real work done.
After talking to my gf about the rugs, I think we can make them work. Just have to cut some throw rugs out of the excess and fit them together so they match. We will tack them down with a few carpet tacks so they don't move and it will look nice out there.
