Hello friends, little update from Retrowire here

[retrowire]

Hey there!

Just wanted to say I haven't been posting much lately because politically, all I can do is sit and wait for my chance to vote. There's nothing to be said from my mind.

Everyday I think about it.

Has Trump finally crossed the line? No. Not in the GOP's eyes. He never will.

Have we finally proven without a doubt that he's colluded? Yes. But, is anyone going to take it seriously enough to do something yet? No.

I haven't lost all hope. I've just become dormant.

Other than that, should the world burn, I'm taking this time to enjoy my family and life while I have it. No idea how long I've got that left.

I'm content. I'm alive and well in this tumultuous era. I'm witnessing it, I'm just waiting.

1. Hello retro

There is plenty to do from home while we "wait" it out. On my to do list today is to check the local numbers for McCain and Flake. Place calls to find out the office hours for letting them know what I think of the McConnell's kill them quickly health care fiasco.

The rumpublican reqest for voter data is also on the radar. I will include that in my calls to the Senators. The Gov. of AZ, and all other state officers will be included in my objection to providing voter info to a pResident or party who clearly intend to use it for futher voter suppression.

I am focused on the impact within my family but not waiting for someone else to do the heavy lifting. Not saying you are not, just saying waiting is not an option for me.

2. Glad that you are well 😀

I have been dormant too, and to my surprise, kind of enjoyed it. I had tech problems with my iPad and have been off DU for almost a week now - thought I would go batty but I didn't.....

8. There's a 9: You realize you can't control big things and do your best to handle your own patch.

Little things like making sure the kids in your school district have what they need, or your city's using its money for the best interests of your community. Making sandwiches and toiletry bags for homeless people or blankies for kids in foster care. Picking up litter at the park or on your daily walk. Socializing puppies and kittens so they can be adopted. Installing solar panels on the roof or changing your electricity subscription to a 100% wind plan. Using your bike or walking whenever possible. Sometimes you step up more, sometimes you step back more and spend a weekend binge-watching old movies.

It's a form of reclaiming power, too.

4. Been thinking about you..

Bought For Honor after an epic struggle to register on Ubisoft site. Then there was an even odd'er struggle to download and install the accompanying "installation" software.

Now every time I log into Ubisoft I end up on a dead page..

This can't be that hard!

[retrowire]

6. Oh no!

I don't know your exact problem but, as long as you have a Uplay account with Ubisoft, the process should be as simple as this...

Download the Uplay client from their website.

Open the Uplay client on your computer and login with your account.

The game should be in your Uplay Games library here. Click to install it, and then play!

Let me know if I can help!!!

5. Glad to see you are still here...

You have the smart approach.
Mr. dixie is steaming about the political scene, thankfully he is on BP meds.

I watch what is happening like a slow trainwreck, dunno whether to laff or cry half the time.

7. Laugh or cry was the question

But the answer became, "live your life and don't suffer fools"

Trump's a fool. They're all a bunch of fools. Life is too short.

9. sorry for the soapbox earlier

I was in a mood, had nothing really to do with you. I am glad you're doing well, retro. You're a good guy.

I haven't lost all hope either....but we do live in scary times these days,

[BainsBane]

12. I hope you're doing okay

I know we have been on the opposite sides of a number of discussions, but I still wish you well.
Check in when you can.

13. Thanks for checking in, retrowire.

I haven't been here much lately either. I think I've lost the will to write as well as fight. "Dormant" is the perfect word for it. All I want to do is sleep.

Of course, that is just what "they" want. They hope they will wear us down. We'll come back though... and we will be tan, ready and rested!

Just sitting here, waiting for some of those centipede shoes to drop.....
