If we travel abroad, we need to have something on us to indicate we did not vote for Trump. It has to be noticeable. A blue scarf? The blowback from foreign countries will be harsh. We are going to know how the Germans felt after WWII - in a constant state of apology.

@kattenbarge At one time, black pumps were part of the Disneyland uniform. My mother had surgery on her feet (bunions) twice! But the rule was the rule. When she returned to work, she was forced to continue to wear them. Unbelievable cruelty.

We are the children of Goldwater Republicans, Baby Boomers, live in a red state, are vintage car aficionados, and are gun-owning business owners. We support @JonesForAR, @MonicaTranel, and all the others turning red states blue. We are the #RadicalLeft

My husband "misdialed" and got his cousin. They hadn't talked in a long time so he just pretended it was intentional. They had a long conversation, talked about his battle with cancer and ended with a promise to sail the San Juan Islands soon. We just got a text that he died.

@PaulCogan Canceling a subscription because you oppose a company's policy is exactly how free enterprise is supposed to work. Companies are free to stay the course or make a better product. That's not censorship. Book-banning is censorship. - David Seigel.

@DannyDeraney I was on a train in the 70s when a tiny french woman asked me if I was American. When I said yes, she regaled me with the story of the Americans coming to save them. "They were so tall" she said "and so handsome", "like a mirage". She was so sweet. It had been less than 30 years.

@abigaildisney She can't win this. If Madonna opted out of plastic surgery, everyone would feel sorry for her actual old face. She has surgery and nobody likes that either. Aging is brutal enough for the general public. It has to be 100 times more difficult to be a public persona.

@EliMcCann Years ago, I watched a stewardess pluck a screaming infant from a young, exasperated mother and place it between her apron and uniform, cuddled in her breasts. The infant shushed. The mother and her toddler collapsed into sleep. She kept it there the whole flight while working.

@joaquinlife How many of these folks could have been helped by their local general practitioner? Probably many. By imposing ridiculous deductibles, insurance companies have forced people to wait until their situation is dire. They end up sicker, in long lines at the emergency room. It sucks.
