Hi everyone!
I don’t have a new computer. My daughter got herself a new one and gave me her old one. Who knows how long it will last.
I had a wonderful time at Newport Beach in Oregon. There were seven of us. My son and DIL and 4 of their friends. It rained the whole time we were there but it would stop whenever we went out site seeing or to lunch. We were all in a house together. It looked right out at the ocean so when raining we just enjoyed the view. I was able to breath the whole time there, but as soon as I got back to my home in the desert area of WA state my nose plugged right up and I sneezed and sneezed and sneezed.
I sent a couple of pictures to Cotton and Dolly so if they would like to post them that would be ok. I have never been able to figure out how to post pictures from my cell phone. If I take pictures on my camera (which I rarely do anymore) I can post those pictures.
Most of you may recall the interactions I have had with my husbands niece in California. She has really gone off the deep end. One time she unfriended me on facebook, then asked to friend me back. I asked her if she was sure as I would more than likely be posting political stuff she didn’t like. She then went ahead and made me a friend again.
Well a short while ago my oldest daughter posted about the Tesla Dealership in Canada being vandalized. This niece answers her by posting a link and saying look what is happening here. It turns out you can’t see what is on the link unless you “Join” I joined so I could see what she was refering to. It is called “50501” and it is supposedly a grassroots political organization founded to protest the policies and actions of the second Donald Trump administration in the United States. They were behind the rallys on 4-5-25 in 50 states. Here is a sample. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr4YwdXtnnA
It turns out the reason she posted the link is to show that even though “they” were having a “peaceful” protest a guy named Doug Huhn (running for congress) in Rocklin, Ca was attacked by a MAGA Vet. So she says it goes both ways and then tells me she is NOT endorsing Huhn. I found the video that he posted about this altercation (no long available) and it doesn’t show anyone hitting. What it does show is HE came over to the MAGA protestors side of the street and started verbally attacking. When people kept asking for the video that show the Vet actually hitting him one was NEVER shown. Here is this guy. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ntz6yxZBnB4
So long story short after the back and forth with my husbands niece (she can’t take the truth) this time she not only unfriended me but she completely “Blocked” me. I learned from my daughters she just got divorced from her second marriage (first husband died) after being married to the second one for only about 4 yrs. I am going to assume she didn’t like his political beliefs because things appeared fine until Trump was elected.
In private messages to my daughters she said her two kids (boy and girl) I think boy is gay, are looking for jobs outside of the US because they are scared. Her daughter is a winemaker and she says with all the deportations there will be nobody to pick the grapes. Then just recently according to my daughters being able to see her facebook page her daughter is NOW going to be the head master of a NEW wine company starting up near San Diago. I would like to be able to say to her what happened with NO one to pick the grapes.
Anyway we can’t get lackadaisical and think we have it all in the bag. The 50501 organization is planning something for the 19th. The site I can see is only for California and it appears they are all confused as to what is actually going to take place on the 19th. Also there is usually only 20 to 40 responses to the postings.
I have blabbered along enough and will close with this.
Dolly, if you or Cotton (when she is able) want to keep it going I will try to contribute occasionally. It is nice to be able to keep in touch and get some news.
good to hear for you, Oregon coast is awesome, me, I am doing the cherio challenge above.
Well hello Spunky!
Sounds like you’ve been a busy gal! Good for you, but awfully sorry to hear how your WA air makes you feel.
Yes, people have lost their ever-lovin’ minds. It’s so difficult to deal with - it is all various degrees of mass formation psychosis. Whether it’s the covid campaign or the orange man bad operation.....it has made people nuts. I just wonder if there’s any getting through, any cure. I’ve never seen anything like this.
I am not reading or listening to near as much as I used to. I’m just so sick of it. Social media, IMHO, has caused more harm than good. People have sunk to very low depths. When everyone is competing (mostly anonymously) for clicks and attention and money, they have to become more and more shocking than the post before. Honestly, did you ever think you’d be reading about women who “entertained” 1000 men in a day? We really have reached a level of depravity I never thought I’d see.
In any case, glad you have a computer and nice to see you back, Spunky.
Hey lady!
Sorry to hear about the bad weather on your vacation
but it sounds like you still had fun!
Allergies and pollen when you got back home, huh?
Bummer!
The guy lying about getting hit looks like a (censored) dweeb.
Next!
Oh, so Trumps insane now?
Yup!
It’s gonna be a loooooong 4 years.
he’s just been examined for his yearly physical, and he’s fit as a fiddle and his mental acuity is GREAT!
They can protest all they like!
*Bleep* them!
Ain’t nobody got time for dat!
Glad you’re back, Spunky!
*HUG*
I L-O-V-E-D you blabbering! Continue anytime! Nice to see your news
Very sad about your hubby’s niece. But so typical of a white liberal woman but anymore we can drop the white as we have plenty of blackbwomen front and center making a$$e$ of self regularly and only look to Congress for examples
I think it’s always best to just walk away. Period. Not in same state and so no social face to face discourse needed. Know you want to help but she’s beyond that it seems. Shes not a searching newbie. Shes a hardened leftists full of bile and animosity
Are her parents living?
