I used to read the Conservative Treehouse years ago. Then, some years back (???) I gave up. Sundance thinks he’s smarter than he is. Massive ego. Life is short, time flies, and I don’t like to try to winnow chaff from useful info.

Hell no!
Was he the one? Sorry about that. I don’t care who he is as long as DT does.

I guess I’ll have to quit replying.
It’s like messaging. Looks right to me but
e words are taken the wrong way.

I prefer ear to ear conversations.

I’m called a ‘troll’ now. lol

That is sad, but that’s not the way it is with my kids. We are scattered across the country, but my kids still make time for their last grandparent (96 years old) that’s still with us, just as they did for the other 3. Beloved. Grandparents are beloved. Yes, they visit in person, despite the miles that separate them/us.

[TribalPrincess2U]

That’s wonderful. I had great memories of visits to my grandparents

[TribalPrincess2U]

I have, not I had.

My own Grandma died when I was 9. Came outta nowhere for me. I have never forgotten her or how much she meant to me. My kids know that.

I didn’t get to say goodbye. It’s been one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through. Her love has fundamentally shaped me into the person I am now.

Interestingly, my older brother recently said to me, “you cried for such a long time” after Grandma passed. He was right.

After he told me this, I remembered her funeral. He was next to me. He leaned over and quietly told me that I needed to stop crying so hard, that she was gone, and my tears weren’t going to bring her back. I hadn’t realized how it looked. I was so caught up in my grief. He was so right, though. I finally started to get hold of myself.

My grandparents were the best! So my kids know how special their own are.

I hope more people realize how much love and wisdom their elders have.

>”I have never forgiven her”<

I know what you’re saying. They say time will heal.
But does it really? Those unforgiven memories will always hurt.

Bless you!

[FamiliarFace]

No not forgiven. Forgotten! I said I have never forgotten my Grandma!

She was my angel. She loved me like God loves us. Unconditionally.

But time does heal wounds. I know she’s with me every day. I still wear a Scapular medal that she gave me a year before she died. I very, very rarely take it off. It may occasionally be off of my neck on brief occasions while wearing other jewelry for formal occasions. But as soon as the event is over, that medal is back around my neck.

I am kind of seeing a lynch mob mentality going on. I will wait and see how he does.
This kind of stuff is going to hurt us.

Trump was the first president who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, founded by Benjamin Franklin. Harvard and Yale have had a bunch, particularly in recent years. (I forgot to include Obama in the list previously...) They have been a disaster for America. People from Harvard and Yale are almost always elitists who think free trade is a religion and open borders is a great way to get cheap labor. Ergo, Vance is suspect, and needs to prove himself. IMHO, loyalty should have been the most important test for Trump's VP. Vance hasn't shown that yet.

Not one d@mn mention that JD served as a Marine and earned GI Bill benefits to help pay for college and/or law school
