(205,309 posts)I did a double take when she first appeared on TV, my first thought was "I know her!" Glad to see she's doing well.
And I also get audio books, I have both of Mary Trump's books on disc and listen to them in my car since I drive a lot. I definitely recommend those as well.

(205,309 posts)I remember the hearings when she testified back in the day, I was in my dentist's chair and she had them on TV in her office. Another time I was in my dentist's chair when she had the TV on was 9/11. Here in New York, things were pretty chaotic and I remember sitting there watching CNN and seeing that second plane hitting over and over. I was scared witless, thought the world was about to end - I'd always voted, every Democrat since Jimmy Carter, but that was my wake up call and I started really paying attention and I eventually found DU. It's not like I spend a lot of time at the dentist, but I seem to pick significant dates for appointments. I also had an appointment on election day 2016.
