You hold nothing back and it makes me wish I could do that too. I hold certain opinions of things but I don't ever want to "rock the boat". You had me laughing at the politics situation. Yes, Donald Trump is fun to watch. He really keeps things interesting. i just don't think he is very presidential. He might have a hard time keeping his anger in check and someone like that would probably try to use his position in ways that aren't always fair. It's his way or the highway. Ya know? When he got into it with the Pope I thought, oh no! Here we go again! I think my husband and I like Marco Rubio right now. I'm not a democrat so I don't care for Bernie or Hillary.

When I got married in the late 70's I wore a wreathe of fresh flowers in my hair! I loved it. I've always loved that Scott McKenzie song! It sure does bring back memories! I remember playing it over and over again in my Freshman yr dorm room in college! The record finally wore out just before I graduated from college---we used to play it so much! I'd come into the room after classes and my roommate would be playing it too! We did that too with "To Sir, With Love", (by I think it was Lulu). We never got any complaints by anyone on our floor for playing those and a few other songs popular at the time, like all of the Simon and Garfunkel songs, esp "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" and the "Sounds of Silence" over and over again. We all watched "The Graduate" and "Love Story", and swooned and swooned! We also went to see "Hair", and thought it was so daring to watch it, especially because of the nude scene that lasted exactly one tenth of a second and then the whole theater went dark so we couldn't really see anything so we were disappointed! Every guy we dated was soon drafted and left for VN! So there were good and very bad memories. Ah, "those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end...."! (and there's a song that starts or has those words in it...can't recall the name--this hippy era survivor is getting old!<br />Wearing a wreath of flowers atop the colander would be just great too! We could start a new style like Lucy 'n' Ethel in Paris when their husbands had crazy designer outfits made for them from a horse feeder bag styled as a hat and Gunny sacks styled as chemise dresses, to stop them begging for French designer clothing, and the style "took" after they wore the joke outfits in public. Do you remember that episode?

Vitamin B sublingual drops have helped me. Daddy always told me not to get old because of how horrible it was.

Can't imagine what it will be like in 10 years.*** I hadn't even heard about Kasich until last week. He seems like a really nice guy. I'm so tired of the mud-slinging by everyone else. And it seemed to get started earlier this time around. We still have 10 months of this!! UGH! *** I like that top, too, Suzan. It would look great on you.

I can h...Oh, Suzan, Trump is such an embarrassment! I can hear the whole world laughing at us between popcorn munches! The US has really sunk to new lows with the circus it is putting on! We really have so many ignorant people in the US who, if only they would get varied views from different sources, they'd actually get some facts for a change, instead of constantly watching only "news" programs on the channel owned by Rupert Murdoch and his family, which broadcasts lies and skewed versions of the truth. Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers are billionaires who spend their billions buying politicians to run the USA. They are not interested in whether everyone in the US has health insurance or if they have anything else for that matter. You can't fault them, I suppose, because they aren't even aware that anyone else but the super rich exist!<br />For God's sake, they don't even believe Scientists when they have PROVEN that there IS Global Warming due to the holes pollution has made in the Ozone, because acknowledging Global Warming would mean they can still continue destroying our environment just to keep running their businesses as usual for the sake of making money---they don't even care about their own future generations suffering because of the effects of Global Warming! Global Warming is NOT a theory, it is a proven scientific FACT. You'd be surprised how many people in the US say they do not believe that there is Global Warming. They really show their ignorance when they say that!<br />I KNOW that Trump is rich enough NOT to have to take money from the Super PACS which are funded by billionaires like the Koch brothers, but he has the same agenda as they do--just keep on making money, no matter what! So he just wants to be a president for big business, regardless of all of what he says to get elected. He says the US is doing so badly--well it is not--It is a heck of A LOT better than it was in 2008! Unemployment is way down, all the companies who were given a bail-out so that they would not go under, have paid it back to the government, people who could not afford health insurance, now have health insurance--the first time that THAT can be said in the USA! The economy is A WHOLE LOT healthier than it was in 2008 and through out the Great Recession, etc., etc.! So what is Trump talking about? That's right, he wants to take the country back [and give it to the rich]! Oh, yes, and with his social skills, probably start WW III! <br />Trump is NOT a Christian, and it did not take the Pope to state the obvious! He simply is not interested in the plight of fellow Americans because he isn't even aware who does all of the dirty work for him like picking his vegetables in the fields, cleaning his home and washing his clothes or washing the dishes in all of his hotels, etc., etc. All jobs well-to-do Americans think are below them! Instead, he says that those immigrants who are making his life cushy are out raping and stealing or whatever all he accused our neighbors to the South of doing! As for other nationality of immigrants being a "terrorist" problem, not to worry, there are plenty of gun toting WACKO zealot US citizens already living here, perfectly capable of killing tons of us. <br />You are so funny with the wreath thing! I think poor John will roll his eyes so hard that they'll stick that way!<br />Take care and please pray for the US!<br />LauraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13771857135420281489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-43765381995499408592016-02-19T23:06:28.302-08:002016-02-19T23:06:28.302-08:00Politics smolitics!

I think...I've been looking for a simple wreath. I think I'll run to my dollar store right now. I love it. I agree that our politics are comical but they're also a bit scary aren't they? To think that any one of those candidates will be the one running our country for the next 4 years gives me a chill. Trump is a business man and not a politician. He says it like it is and that's what makes him appear to be a bully. The true politicians tell us what we want to hear, want to make us feel all warm and fuzzy and yet do whatever they want to anyway, screw up our financials, stick their noses in countries where we don't belong. It's all smoke and mirrors. Trump is a CEO and I've worked for enough companies that have gone through transitions to know that not every CEO is the right man for the job, they make decision based on finances and people get hurt, that's how I think Trump will run the country but even the good CEO's have to be hard hitting. I just hope the voters research their candidates before they hit the polls. A very scary time in America! The Pope should be concerned about what's happening in his own backyard before he throws stones. The political circus will only be getting more entertaining as we move along. The debates are definitely popcorn and wine worthy!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731316406748178750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-76572652133358212442016-02-19T15:25:27.291-08:002016-02-19T15:25:27.291-08:00And yes!
