Practice makes perfect.....post on....
that is why WFTD is sacrosanct and will not be permitted to be invaded by those looking for a fight.
we are ready to vote tomorrow.
It’s all about SCOTUS and I don’t trust Mr. my lib sister judge would make an excellent SCOTUS nominee Trump. Just can’t trust him on that. I am praying God will take the reins and reign over our country.
April 19 for us. Long after the decision is in. Bah.
if God lets a disaster unfold, it’s because that is what is meant to be. xshub’s brotherinlaw was down from upstate NY last week for a visit and we were talking and he also thinks that the way events have lined up seem like something is in the works here, at the Almighty’s hands. Way too many unforeseen events unfolding in various ways, including Scalia’s death.
our BIL is from Marcy. he is registered independent, as is his new [lib] wife. they would cancel each other out in the general election anyway. he says their area is more conservative than most of the state, also.
I watched FOX up until the Megyn v Trump night. Shut it down after that. Before that whenever Cruz was mentioned they all groaned and rolled their eyes. Do not try to tell me they are not biased against Cruz. They loved Jeb, Rubio and Kasich....none of which have panned out for them....so they nit pick the rest. My eyes were opened to them and their ways and my blinders will not go back on. I just don’t watch news anymore. I read about it online....so I do appreciate you posting things, because I miss stuff. I am happier, though. The horrific attacks on Sarah Palin were disturbing, too. Hard to forget those.
My county will go for the Republican as will much of the rural counties.....but with NYC, they rule the state and all delegates go to the winner. If that was different and the delegates were split, we would be in play.
people’s feelings about Cruz i think changed once Trump started looking inevitable. Fox is not a monolith, they do not all march in lockstep. so you can’t say FOX HATES CRUZ, bc some on there might, others like him. I know people think that Fox hates Trump but he is on there constantly, so i hardly think that’s a sign of hate! Some say Fox LOVES rubio and i have seen him trashed by some on there, so it’s just not accurate to say FOX hates/loves X. i understand you not watching. i can’t NOT watch. Though i gotta say that the girls have us watching the People V. OJ Simpson on FX on InDemand. We caught up on that this past weekend. i was giving birth to xsbaby when the preliminary hearing was going on, and on maternity leave for much of the trial, so i was obsessed back in the day. xsgirls are now obsessed with it, reading the books i bought back in the day etc.
did i tell you that the head woman at Gord’s daycare is from Peru and spanish speaking? xsteen refers to her as the WISE LATINA, but in a good way! we love her, and of course she loves me bc i speak spanish to her!
I can and do classify Trump fans. I look at Trump’s speeches and his leanings from his comments. He stated himself that he is for free health care for all.....what a crock. Nothing conservative about that at all. Obamacare is starting to hit my acquaintances hard finically. It’s getting rough for them. And Trump thinks it should now be free? Really, who’s going to pay for that? We already have freeloaders sitting for generations on welfare with Medicaid coverage. What an inane comment he made. Those off the cuff comments point in one direction....liberalism. What is right leaning about that? He praised PP while claiming he is anti-abortion. Don’t trust that either. The only issue he leans right on is immigration. The other attraction for his fans is his course language and twitter outbursts....which scare the heck out of me. Seems unstable from my viewpoint. I can’t trust him and refuse to vote for him.
Now I don’t know whether you really support Trump or not, not my business.....so you decide if I have pigeonholed you or not.
ahhh.........Last week I said to my little one...”I love you, Annabelle” and she immediately responded...I love you, tioga”. Melted my heart right then and there. She has been such a joy to me.
LMAO........and amen.
He had a couple of incisors removed. They were loose. He has been whimpering so I just gave him a painkiller. My internet and cable were out all day and just now came back up. It aggravates me when I call the number for missing service and the recording tells me to go to the website. And I told them so and demanded a credit for the full day since I was planning on listening to a work webinar today while I am home.
Also known as SEC Tuesday!
They have left some key events out of the TV series, like the extra black dufflebag he took to the airport and left there.
Do they speak a dialect anything like what is spoken in the interior of Mexico? I’ve never known anyone from Peru, and few people from S America-other than Colombia-at all, so I’m curious. The people I’ve known from Columbia don’t sound much different from most of Mexico-but they talk faster.
I’ve been to Colombia, the shampoo girl at my hairdresser is from Guatemala, the cleaning lady is from Bolivia and Dora is from Peru. I have no problem understanding or being understood by any of them but I’m sure there are modismos peculiar to each. Had no problem in PR either. Haven’t been to Mexico prob 25 yrs though.
At least he didn’t calumniate about anyone specifically, but pointed out some absurdities:
