[Fawke Em]

My maiden name is Turner and we both love Bernie. Fast friends.

1. very cool!

[NorthCarolina]

2. I've noticed she's been pretty active on twitter today.

Glad to see it.

[Fawke Em]

5. She was Tweeting about Hillary once complaining that Dems shouldn't

challenge one another on single payer.

That clip never gets old.

3. neato!

I love the interwebs.

[Fawke Em]

4. Twitter is a better equalizer than death.

You're alive to enjoy it (or kvetch about it, whatever the case may be).

[CoffeeCat]

6. Nice!

She's very cool!

A little feather in your social-media cap!

7. Congrats, and if either of you is related to Ted, lemme know...lol..n/t

[Fawke Em]

10. Ironically, I think I am.

I'm the "white" Turners. My Dad and my son had/have the classic "dimple" in the end of the nose like Ted. I never found if we were directly related in our family tree, but I'm not kidding when I say my Dad and Ted looked quite a bit alike.

That said, my family also never owned slaves - I'm proud of that - so I don't think any slave took the last name in my direct linage. We were either too poor or lived in areas not suitable for plantations, so the "black" Turners may or may not be a part of my heritage.

Either way, I see "Turner" and count that person as kin, white, black or otherwise.

18. Very nice...n/t

[dorkzilla]

8. That's a nice belated birthday gift!

You're having some week there, Fawke! Good on ya!

[Fawke Em]

11. You're my second favorite dork.

My first is my daughter.



That said, yes I have! An older guy I work with who's a big Dem walked by me in the hall at work and whispered, "You Feel the Bern?" LMAO!! Most of my co-workers are pretty GOP, so that exchange was hilarious.

[dorkzilla]

13. You're my #1 favorite Fawke!

Guy Fawkes is my...favorite excuse for a bonfire

When my cat scratches the furniture I call her a little fawker, but it's not quite the same I guess.

I don't envy you around all the GOP goobers. I guess the beauty of being the boss is that no one dares utter GOP bullshit around me. Plus I'm lending the restaurant to our local volunteers for phone banking and other events. We are holding a viewing party for Bernie's national address on the 23rd.

It is good to be the Queen

[Fawke Em]

16. Chef and owner?

IM me... where you're at. We travel and we always make sure to visit the local folks for dinner.

[dorkzilla]

17. Not the chef, but the "conductor"

And owner. I can't handle the line anymore (I'm 50, my back couldn't take the strain and the MS gives me incredible fatigue) but I give the kitchen a lot of creative leeway. It's a pretty convivial place actually. Do you get up to NY much?

[azmom]

9. Very cool.

[dae]

12. Nice, she's been lighting twitter up for a few days.

Twitter has been a Berniefest since polls started coming out last week and the Planned Parenthood endorsement blew up in their faces.
Haven't seen much activity on DU Hillbots. Have they fled?

[dorkzilla]

14. I think they're in their safe place

They must be--it's way too quiet here.

[dae]

20. LMAO, I like it,

"Their safe place". Thx

[WillyT]

15. HUGE K & R !!!

[Duckfan]

19. Did you tell her it was your birthday?

And you haven't had cake and Ice Cream yet?
