yeah, I heard her explanation for it was "she was tired"..it's ignorant red neck jerks like this that make me wish I could live way up north..but you can't escape it, even there.

My grandfather passing, and how I am grateful and at the same time sad that there is no funeral. Instead he will be cremated and his ashes scattered.

They fear strong women, black woman especially.

It is of my opinion, after reading the Bible thru and various other ancient text ,that slaves were lied to and their history stolen from them..That black folks are in truth descendants from Egypt and are indeed a so-called "lost tribe" of Israel..And that's why they fear you and lash out with their sneaky snake tongues..

there are ppl (youngins) with loose gun fingers everywhere ~ I TOTALY disagree with you when it comes to back and white prejudice in the northeast. I live here and there is no hate .

Very well put, I totally agree!

Absolutely. This is a map where Cuomo has started documenting and tracking hate crimes. Mind you, these are only ones that are being reported and then seen as an actual hate crime. That's a whole other set of issues. Like this woman and the crime against her not being determined instantly as a hate crime.

There has been hate long before DJT was elected. That is all I have to say.

OMG, how can they NOT?!?!?

I'm officially horrified.

True. There was also gasoline and fire for a very long time but it took one person to put them together.

Trump is fuel on the fire of hatred, of all kinds. He does nothing to stop what he started. One day, it will come back to him. Sadly, not soon enough for my taste.

Obama is still in office..why doesn't he do anything about the violence?

Exactly. It wasn't a perfect world before- not by a long shot. But before this, Trump's name wasn't painted on the churches being burned or being chanted while women and non-white/not hetero/non christian/non "gender conforming" folks (quotes because folks prefer a variety of terms for this area and I'm trying to not be too wordy) are being harassed.

In other news of what's on my mind. I'm glad my daughter asked me to go see a play with her tonight. It was entirely crafted by high schoolers and the script was rather painful. But she knew the whole tech crew behind the scenes and I enjoyed seeing her run off to be with them during intermission and after the play was over.

Thanksgiving and wondering how it's gonna go. Thinking about seeing my sister and having some one on one time with her.

I hate my once a week (today) job....a lot.

I just pull in and anticipate 4 hours of non literal tooth pulling that results in my also non literal hair pulling.

With any luck I'll have won the Powerball and never have to return again. Ever. Like keep my check even. I won't be back.

Meh

How about a small backpack for carrying your things? If a purse isn't your style?

I feel for you, my friend. I have been there too and this new gig isn't turning out as expected. Hang in there!

They're all pretty much the same when you really get down to it. I can't wait to start and finish school and have a fresh start of things in a newish career. Definitely a step up.

Planning a big trip, and taking 2 dogs including all their luggage.

The talk I had with my boss today.

Hats. I used to wear them but stopped. I'm gonna start wearing them again. Saw a black hat yesterday that would be cute on me. I'm gonna find one just like it.

Too much right now! Time to find my beach!! :wine::wine::wine:

I agree with this, too much on the mind.

Just thinking that maybe sometimes I don't give someone enough credit for the role they play in my life. How when I'm feeling pretty close to the lowest of lows, they've always been able to pick me up. Kind of silly but it actually made my eyes a little watery, thinking about how much they truly mean to me. I think you can count yourself lucky to have someone like that in your life. xox

how I just found out one of my former AA sponsors died two months ago and I didnt know it until now. We had had a falling out (my fault) and never were on good terms again but I owe this woman so much. If I had to say who was the one person who most influenced me positively in my life, it would be her.

On my mind... a profound and truthful conversation I had yesterday with a Rabbi, an Artist, and a Poet, regarding an amazing, and beautiful, spiritual, experience, we all had shared.

Fret not dear one there is a warm loving hand up waiting for you. I love you like my own child. Spread your wings, become one with the wind and your desires and fly. Glide into life with all the courage your heart can muster, and live in beauty.

As I stood in line at check out in a local store today, the person standing (rather closely) behind me sneezed. There was no way to see if they had bothered to cover their mouth/nose; I was immediately grossed out wondering if they had just sneezed all over my back. Now I am wondering if there is some sort of protective garment to wear when in stores/public areas especially during flu season without looking like a complete idiot. Lol! :sunglass:

I have an unexpected job interview tomorrow. One that could lead to great things if it comes together. The interview includes a written piece and I need to turn in two essays. I'm writing and editing and am nervous and excited!
