Yes. You will get through this. And yes it'll be challenging.

Just know that you’re nowhere near alone as you work this part of The Journey.

Thank you, Skittles. I can't tell you how many times I've quoted you on this.

It’s been a tremendous help and a big dose of moral support - for me personally and for me to pass along to others here.

“Someone’s always here.”

You probably don’t even know the extent of how helpful and comforting and reassuring just those three words are.

I’d thank you for all of us but that seems a little presumptuous. But I can DEFINITELY thank you for me.

But we still need EVERYBODY who can walk, talk, or breathe

to VOTE!

If all we did was just SHOW THE FUCK UP TO VOTE, we’d win every time.

Simply because there are more of us than there are of the bad guys (and those who somehow always fall for the lying phony-ass sales pitch).

Aw MAN... I'm sorrier than you know.

May be in the same position before too long with our old lady cat.

Slowing down. Her - um - shall we say “output” looks problematic. Worried. Don’t know how long she has, but I fear it’s not a lot.

I think it was both.

While Bolonia was pregnant, through Barron’s first few months.

What a complete cad of a “man”. And if she married him for his money, what does that make her?

Oh yeah!

What you said, Tiedrich!

That is FABULOUS news!

I love your story about the little boy's bear, too. Did you tell them about that? That's one of the coolest and most magically creative and genuinely dear things I've ever heard done! I bet they were both thrilled and delighted, and also quite touched.

I think if I had a customer relations opening to fill, you'd be an outstanding hire.

Uh-huh. SUUUUUUURE his foot got stuck.





GOOD GRIEF ...



Sometimes I think this whole country is falling apart.

Photo op prop.

That is all.

I've lived long enough to have seen lots of international ceremonies for visiting dignitaries, especially involving American presidents. I have never seen or heard of this one. Til donald connived his way into the White House.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
