I would crawl on broken glass, with two ear infections, 100 mosquito bites, 100 paper cuts, in the snow, a hundred miles, to vote against the MF.

She's been in Denmark close to 50 years.

up in CT where all my family are, but now live in deep red TX zone. Fell in love with a Texan...little did I know once you move here you can never leave

We are in for a ride, for sure. Who knows what the future will bring. But, it's so comforting having DU and people like you, along for the ride !

exactly my experience with the rural south.

I've been a rolling stone all my life, but roots developed when I moved down here 33 years ago.

each time she had to be with him, even at dinner, I believe.

I never realized how much crap the Royals have to put up with, and how limited their behavior and gestures, words,
have to be in public, esp/ around the WH hillbillies.

how much my brain can hold! I know I've read it several times, I like to read sig lines.

Oh well, I have to get down the road to the farm and see what problems I get to solve today, after another cup of coffee and a few more headlines, I'll only get to read them about twice a week, maybe, for much of the summer. But it's fun, keeps me outdoors in an unbelievable landscape with amazing scenery so I won't complain a bit. Feels like summer camp.

Can you imagine eating dinner where the guy sitting on dais has made crude lewd remarks about your deceased and much loved mother, and nasty remarks about your wife?

I don't think anyone with a heart would have blamed Harry for sticking a fork in trump's eye.
I for one would have applauded him, with complete understanding.
