For the next couple of days weā€™re expecting a lot of rain as another atmospheric river heads our way. By the time itā€™s over, this huge bloom wonā€™t be as pretty anymore so Iā€™ll share it now.
I love the unique striping of this rose, called Neil Diamond.
I didnā€™t imagine them getting this huge which I find amazing.
The scent is wonderful.

Trump's lawyer arguing for additional proceedings in the lower court, and Gorsuch apparently liking the idea.

This case is all and only about delaying the Jan. 6 trial until after the election.

KayVay,

@msbellows
It seems to me that those (better than the rest of us) folks up there can twist any rule, regulation, law in such a way to fit their narrative. Iā€™ve thought that for a long time. There are so many laws so that someone like T**** should never get to power again and yet meanings of those laws are twisted and interpreted in such a way that it doesnā€™t really matter anymore what it says. Itā€™s all about opinions of the higher ups.
Am I bitter? You bet.

I donā€™t think heā€™ll challenge that order. Deep down inside heā€™s a scared little kid. He boasts and pretends to be a strongman but heā€™s not.
Iā€™m glad he canā€™t run out of the courtroom to whine about everything being so unfair anytime he becomes uncomfortable. He does this when he doesnā€™t like questions in an interview, at some of the other court hearings he didnā€™t really need to be there for, etc. He doesnā€™t like being put on the spot.
He usually runs away and now he canā€™t.

Oh, this was an excellent article. When the decision came, at first my heart sank but then I told myself to slow down. Thereā€™s always more to it than we know or understand.
Itā€™s because of you, Teri (and now Stephanie) that I have learned to not take every headline at face value.
Wait, donā€™t speculate about things I donā€™t fully understand and get more in depth info.
Iā€™m very thankful. It makes a difference and I feel more educated.

In the latest GOP primary, Nikki Haley had more support relative to former President Trump than Pat Buchanan had in the 1992 primaries relative to President George Bush, which was seen at the time as signaling that Bush was a weak candidate. Why thatā€™s bad news for Joe Biden.

I'm gonna be honest y'all, it's felt dark lately, and for good reason, LGBTQ+ rights in the balance, an election coming up, women struggling to get basic Healthcare, mass shootings, SCOTUS, the environment. The list goes on and on, and the media twists everything to sound even worse, or just straight up ignores actual news. But here's the thing, I know a lot of you, and the fact that you exist in the world gives me hope. You care about the future and you want good things, and so do I, and as long as that spark is there, we have hope. So, let's focus on some good today! Share a good headline, some positive news either on a larger scale or just something personal, a nice picture you took, a funny meme or video, whatever made you feel good or at least, gave you a smile. Let's share some joy!

KayVay,

@RickiTarr
Itā€™s easy to get discouraged with all the awful news out there. Focusing on the positive and enjoying the little things helps to even it out a bit. For me, itā€™s my family, 2 and 4-legged. I also never watch cable news, only our local station once in the evening. That doesnā€™t mean, I donā€™t stay informed. Iā€™m not doing anybody any good if I let anxiety take over.
As much as Iā€™d LOVE to share a little video of my grandson starting to speak šŸ˜, Iā€™m not allowed.

    Goodness, what a mess.
    Iā€™ve noticed that so many people skim over posts without actually reading and interpret them in a way that is far from what the author tried to say.
    You could ask ā€˜How are you?ā€™ and people would find all sorts of ways to misread it. If someone is determined to complain about something, they will find it.
    I hope that most replies to your posts are from sensible people (like me šŸ¤­) who appreciate you and learn a thing or two as I have.

    Just the other day I texted something to my dad in our family group. Suddenly I get this long, angry private text from my sister that caught me off guard. She interpreted something I typed wrongly with what I actually said. When I corrected her, she just typed ā€˜Ohā€™
    Happens to the best of us.
    What helps me center myself is my nearly 2-year old grandson.
    I wish I could share some of the videos publically but Iā€™m not allowed which is probably a good thing. Heā€™s starting to talk, omg

    KayVay,

    Iā€™ve forgotten a lot but it comes screaming back to me as he develops. The good and the bad, lol.
    They live on the east coast, me on the west. Makes it tough but as much as I despise social media sometimes, I get photos and videos plus a weekly video call so we can ā€˜talkā€™ to each other. Heā€™s the cutest thing on earth but Iā€™m probably biased. šŸ˜‰
    Just like everything else, thereā€™s good and thereā€™s bad. I try to focus on the good as much as possible. Not always easy.

    Pretty sick. They all seem to forget that MOST immigrants are neither, just in general people who fear for their lives.
    They seem to forget that we have many, MANY homegrown criminals ourselves. Maybe not forget but sweep under the rug. I suppose those are at the frontlines in TX. Sure, there are bad apples in any group of humans but most folks are decent, sometimes desperate scapegoats for election purposes in this case.

    Yes!! I voted for this measure as did the majority of Oregonians and Iā€™m so thrilled that the ones being affected by it now, lost.
    The thing is, I believe most of us voted for this regardless of what party youā€™re in. So if a democrat would do such a thing, by all means, ban them too.
    The republicans are now playing the victim card.
    My reply to those folks:
    If it applies to you, deal with it. If you canā€™t take it, donā€™t do it!! (Was gonna type all caps but then Iā€™d look like šŸŠ)
