Juneteenth oh goodness,,,,

I had no idea how controversial Juneteenth is.

My Husband and I live in Senior Apartments (in Gilbert, Arizona) that has a dining room so I talk to others daily.

There is a small percentage of us here that are Lefties but for the most part the Right-leaning Folks are in the majority,,,,
If you want to watch heads explode, casually mention Federal Holiday, President Biden signing for this holiday, Juneteenth, or things along those lines
One could say I may have stirred the pot abit at lunch

Because of this forum,,,,

I read an article here a couple of years ago about a woman who published a book of daily photos.

So I created an 'album' on my phone called "Before Noon" and moved a photo to it each day Before noon. Did it for months. Fast forward to now, I found the album on my phone about a week ago had fun looking through all the photos So now I have a started another album called "Second Before Noon" it's alot of fun!!

Gives me a fun little task each day (we're retired) and I take multiple photos then decide on the one I like best,,,,

Sincere question. About DJT smelling bad.

Does Donald Trump really smell bad? It just seems like such a given here on DU, but why do we think that?

To put this question in context while eating breakfast this morning, I mentioned it to a friend of mine. Now she is a Canadian liberal and 92ish she asked me why I would think that,,,, I said I had read it. She couldn't believe I was saying such a thing,,,, implied that I was silly for thinking it.

I did a few searches and it seems like Adam Kinzinger said it

I really don't want to just make fun of someone. I am not just the opposite of a Trump-loving Republican,,, I want to be accurate and honest even in my disdain.

I just received a 'phishing' snail mail,,,,

A letter addressed to me saying my extended service warranty on my vehicle is about to run out. No description of the vehicle just a member number. And a phone number to call.

Covid deaths in chronically ill people should not be treated as a silver lining

Covid deaths in chronically ill people should not be treated as a silver lining


I'm not trying to be anti-CDC but as someone who has emphysema and heart problems I have been avoiding ppl for 2 years now and have received criticism from folks I used to consider my friends,,,, my "joke" all along has been "if I die from COVID, they'll say I had underlying conditions anyway,,,,"

I am still avoiding ppl.


on edit: I don't know how to put the link behind other words,,,,
