I feel like I can breathe again!

Last edited Wed Aug 14, 2013, 02:52 AM - Edit history (1)

This is where I need to be. Things are getting so nasty in GD and elsewhere. I have a post all ready for GD, but I know it won't be received well. Screw them. They don't deserve my wisdom right now. Cha is great at jumping in there, I just don't have the talent.

Off I go to watch something brainless with my DH and shake off the Snowden flakes!

G'nite to all, no bedbugs!

Everything is Obama's fault. Everything. At least you won't have to see the snowden/paulrevere/thumb drive/tyranny thing anymore.

I had noticed a plague going through here and I think we're going to find a cure soon. ODS is an addiction and these addicts need treatment and tough love.

I've been busy getting a home ready to put on the real estate market so I haven't been reading the blogs nearly as much for the last few days.

I'm pretty much getting kicked to the curb by my older brother and three older sisters. My father passed away in May of last year and I've been staying in his home with my brother. It's an extremely tense situation with my brother and arguments are a way of life for him. He has a lot of anger management issues while I'm the socialist, commie, pinko liberal in his eyes. Meanwhile, I have two brother-in-laws that are jerks. If the house sales quickly, then I'm probably going to get about 10K and told to start my life over again at age 48.

This is the best place to come to when you feel like you do.

It rejuvenates you. It can be cleansing.

And you know what, it will make you laugh and cry at the same time. We celebrate life here. The bad and the good combined, the difference is that we believe that change will happen, and we are willing to fight for it!

You are so welcome at the BOG!

I have another suggestion for you. Go and visit The Obama Diary~
http://theobamadiary.com/

Trust me you will love it! You will see things like this.











Welcome to the BOG mimi

I love the pics of PBO with kids. He has some Tinkerbell dust or something that sprinkles love and caring on these little ones.

I've been to the TOD many times. I post occasionally, however I'm kind of a lurker (in a good way)! It's so refreshing.

It seems to me that DU used to be a good gathering place for us. Lots of anger lately. Too much Snowden bullshit. And I am BEYOND tired of seeing crap about sourpuss Glenn Greenwald. Damn, he's a sour one. Life is too short! Maybe he'll find peace one of these days. Getting past my bedtime as usual. Hugs to all and may you have sweet dreams!

Side note: Mimi85 = Jennifer on TOD
I became a "Mimi" in 1985 with my first grandson.You'll see a pic here and there, no doubt. Typical Mimi. I was only 35! Yikes! Best thing that ever happened to me. He's biracial and reminds me so much of PBO, which is awesome!

came from perusing TOD. It's usually my first stop in the morning to set the positive mood.

I've seen "Jennifer" on there.. that must have been you.

You were a young grandmother! That's the way it goes.. we never know when love is going to pop into our lives!

Good to see you in the BOG, mimi! Our small but strong and hearty President Barack Obama Group.
