7. Loving someone outside your race doesn't define who you are.
Asking Senator Harris that question shows racial ignorance.

16. Emoprogs and the horseshoe left
According to them, Harris is also some kind of fuckslut who slept her way to prominence...

6. Aww! They are a cute couple!
People should just back off about this. It's her business whom she chooses to love.

8. I would even say that love chooses you.
I suspect that we don't have much say in it.
I say this as a woman who wanted no one (truly), and ended up living life with a wonderful human being who makes my life a little brighter every single day. He's the PB to my J ![]() I think that love finds US, and I would have it no different. Also, smirky, we must be on the same schedule tonight lol. So nice talking with you. ![]() |

9. Nice talking to you too susanna!
Your story gives me hope! I also am kind of an introvert who doesn't really have much of an interest in coupling up, but it would be nice if I stumbled upon it like you!
I guess you struggle with insomnia a bit too, right? ![]() Luckily, I am working from home tomorrow since we are supposed to get a storm here in Boston. Hope you get some sleep as well! Nice chatting with you! ![]() |

10. Oh, I absolutely LOVE Boston...jealous!
And yes, I'm an insomniac. Some nights worse than others. Tonight is a bad night.
The stumbling towards love is odd. Keep your eyes open. You never, ever know where/who/when. I sure didn't. I wonder sometimes how it happens the way it does. As for me, I'm in Detroit at the moment. Good night, friend! Dream good dreams. ![]() |

11. If you are ever in the neighborhood, give me a shout and we can get together
for coffee or lunch or something! It's a nice city. I grew up in a very small town in upstate NY, but have lived in Boston, then San Francisco, then NYC (Manhattan - all over) and now back in Boston.
So you are in Detroit? Did you get hit with the polar vortex cold spell last week? I was so sorry for you guys in the mid-west. It was freezing here, but nothing like what you had. I have never been to Detroit, but went on a business trip to some place in northern Michigan - I don't even remember where it was, but it was very pretty. I will keep my eyes open. I think part of my problem is that I just don't have my "radar" on. I can tell that certain men are interested, but I definitely think I give off a "keep away" vibe. I just find being single so easy and comfortable. It doesn't bother me, so I'm not too motivated to make an effort. Anyway, sorry to go on. Insomnia kind of does that to you! ![]() ![]() |

14. I absolutely will!
We usually vacation there every few years, so I'll bookmark this and keep it in mind!
As for the polar vortex, oh yes, right in the thick of it. So very, very cold. I never remember feeling anything like that, and I have been in Michigan my whole life. Was going stir crazy. Couldn't go out for those few days (asthma) and it about drove me crazy! But that isn't far of a drive, come to think of it ![]() I bet your business trip was to Traverse City...beautiful up there! Thank you so much for the chat, it improved my mood last night as well as today, and I needed it. ![]() ![]() |

12. First time I've seen Harris's husband
I haven't noticed much media attention in regards to her personal life, at least not yet.
That shouldn't be at the forefront anyway. It's her proposed policies that matter. |

18. No, we have to understand the people for whom it's a thing
If we don't win over the Homer Stokeses of our great nation, can Democrats truly lead?
