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!

Just about ready to go plant bushes in the backyard as soon as the Rhubarb Custard Pie comes out of the oven. My MIL's recipe. I figure if I make DH his favorite pie he can be bribed into digging holes for all these bushes I need to plant. 😉
I hope everyone had a pleasant day yesterday. I was glad I decided to go see Mom. My sister & I had a very good visit.. We are both on same page concerning Mom's care now & for after when she passes. Mom is definetely in the final stage, so the end is near. I left feeling at peace with it all.
Joyce, I have a DH like yours. Just so helpful in so many areas. I came in from doing yard work on Saturday & he was vacuuming & had cleaned the bathrooms. This morning when I got up, he came in from outside & said he finished the perennial bed I had started on the other day.
Well, OK, a few more sips of tea, take the pie out & then I need to head outside. Of course I stopped at a greenhouse on way home yesterday & filled the van with more flowers..LOL
As for JA in Chief, I really have nothing much to say... Same old crap day in day out.

Linda, It's good to hear you and your sister had a good visit. For me going through the most difficult times in life are just a little lighter when family and friends are supportive and in agreement instead of combative and pushing back all the time. It's good to hear both of you are at peace about your Mom.
((((Linda)))))
I haven't watched anything about the JA for 3 days and I'm fine with that.

I already know this guy is a clear and present danger to the whole planet and there isn't one single thing I can personally do about it. There also isn't anything I can do to convince his foolish supporters that he's an unstable menace who happens to be hell bent on putting the United States on a destructive collision course. The republicans in Congress can stop him or hold him back a little but they're a bunch or cowards much more concerned about covering their own butts instead of the safety and security of the people they represent.
Here's a thought. If all those people who screamed and hollered and jumped up and down at town hall meetings actually put their votes where their mouths are and voted for a Democrat in 2018 (if we're still here) that could hinder or stop him too. If they go into the voting booth with the same anger and rage they felt in town hall, and voted Democrat instead of republican (because they always vote republican) the time they spent at town hall meetings could really make a difference. If they still vote for a Rep/Con then their angry words at those meetings were nothing more than meaningless rants and a waste of time.
"Democracy is not a spectator sport." The world disagrees with who said this first so I'm going to give Lotte Scharfman the credit here. lol.
Thanks for posting that link, Pat. I will check it out but not right now. I've been on a JA cleanse for a few days and I've actually been able to sleep at night and function in the real world. I know I can't avoid reality forever but maybe for a few more days. I have to turn away from it for my mental and physical well being. I honestly do.

birdgal Sorry Pat {{hugs}} I've been avoiding the orange idiot but occasionally something gets thru and makes me want to throw something and this did it today! He is unfrickenbelievable and belongs in jail and those damn liars around him should burn in hell with him.

Gee, don't you just LOVE IT when something comes back to bite someone in the azz for something they accused someone else of that they couldn't prove or was entirely false. This latest, is so on the Republican's & all those loyal Trump supporters, who relentlessly went after Hilary for classified info & couldn't even prove happened...now they they have the " loose lipped" JA actually doing it himself. It would almost be laughable if it weren't so dang dangerous! GOOD GRIEF!

Pat, I feel the exact same way as you! In times like this I wish I really did believe in Hell. It sickens me to think this lying cheat and the rest of the Reps/Cons could easily get off scott free. How can they lose with all those sly foxes guarding the chicken coops?
On a Positive note I did see a bumper sticker that read, "Trump belongs in prison!" Brave soul to have something like that on his/her car in this red neck of the woods. I wanted to beep and give them a thumbs up. But I won't do that anymore because all I see is that smirking fool sticking his thumb up to his adoring and unhinged crowds.
Pat, no need to apologize. I just need to take a break for a while from all this insanity and restore what's left of my soul. It's not you. It's me. lol.
(((Pat)))

Oh my gosh! I have been in a news block out until just a little bit ago. How much longer are Rs going to let this disaster go on? It is mind boggling. Some of you know that I had to take my dad back to the ER last night. Pneumonia again on the same side as two months ago, but this time it is considerably more complicated. They are planning a procedure for Wed that the doctor says carries some risk, but that they must do in order to know how to proceed or even if they can proceed. In addition to the risk with the actual procedure they must stop his blood thinner medicine prior to it (reason for waiting until Wed), and since they were not able to stent him again with the heart attack in November this puts him at a higher risk for another heart attack. So they are also monitoring closely for that. I am tired, very tired, but I know the routine. Will check in when I can, but will be thinking of you all. It's really bad when you pass a nurse in another hallway and they say, "which parent are you here with this time?"

Sorry about your dad nashville11. Positive vibes coming your way. Can you believe the latest news?!?! Just when you think it can't get any worse the sun comes up and there it is....the worst. How much worse does it have to get before the coward Republicans do something about it? This just proves for the one millionth time that Trump is not intelligent enough to do this job - PERIOD! Now we will have allies turning their backs on us and not sharing intelligence info. My son is a commercial pilot and now I am officially worried. This is serious stuff and if he did this (which I'm sure he did) he needs to go NOW!

Lock him up and throw away the key before it's too late. Or is it already too late?
Is anyone on here really shocked? I'm not. Horrified, yes. Surprised, nope.
You can't get blood from a stone and you can't get a president from a puffed up game show host.
I can't stop shaking my head or rolling my eyes. Enough is too much already. When will this end?
((((Joyce))))
