Good evening. Just checking in. Read a couple of things that made me think of Ted so just had to add them here that I put on my FB page. Love you Ted. I say quiet . . .there is no way I have the power to cause a car accident or heart attack to happen by simply saying the word quiet. If that were so . . . I'd be very dangerous. https://first10em.com/quiet/?subscribe=success#blog_subscription-5 Don't fall for the myths of the moon. Enjoy it for what it is - a beautiful sight in the sky. https://skeptoid.com/blog/2013/09/14/15-crazy-moon-fallacies Here in California, Gavin Newsom signed the new stricter vaccine law that came about because some physicians were writing bogus medical exemptions to anti-vaxx folks. Dr. Sears was one major culprit. I'm so happy about that but the anti-vaxx folks in Sacramento are going crazy. So, I'm kinda on a roll about people believing in unscientific stuff. Ok - vent over. Everything is ok here. I can't think of any big changes. nursej22 - sorry about your frustrating journey to find some help for your pain. And yes, I get texts weekly from my kids about medical info. We should charge them Tomorrow is 9/11 so will be watching and reading some remembrances about that day. Always remember. Take care everyone. steph

Good morning from the West Coast. I'm off call but did some follow-up this morning and reported to the HHA. Just paid a few bills. Headed to the shower and might get out of town to the "big city" and do some shopping. Local ER doc was working on Sunday when his family came in from a car accident where his 9 year old daughter died and wife was badly hurt as were the two other kids. I'll link the story. https://riversidecountynewssource.org/2019/07/29/girl-9-dead-mother-paralyzed-2-others-injured-after-millville-rollover/ I'm simply ready to walk away for awhile from responsibilities. Y'all have a good Tuesday and hug your family.

Good morning. I was glued to the story about the shootings at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, here in California. I have relatives there, two of the young men (my brother's sons) had just left the festival. and the mayor is a relative. I appreciate many news outlets not publishing the name of the (dead) shooter as it is thought that this kind of publicity enourages other people. That's all I got folks. Have to get to work. Hope you all have a good day.

I don't elevate anyone's opinion. I thought that was pretty clear with my posts today.

In my opinion, and the opinion of many others, that had nothing to do with the color of their skin but the content of their words and deeds. So see . . . I'll be called racist in some places because I have a different opinion. I'm not making excuses for Trump. I just see this in a different way. I have my own issues with Trump. But let's look at the ladies he spoke about. In other words, if you have a brown face, a black face, if you are a Muslim, or a queer you must not think for yourself or have your own opinion. You must walk in lockstep with her. This is one of the reasons Candace Owens was redpilled. I prefer Dave Rubin's approach . . . let's all come to the table as ourselves and have a conversation, regardless of whether we are in agreement on everything. That's tolerance. Her comments are racist, in my opinion.

So, that negates her opinion? How?

It depends. Sometimes when people say Trump is being racist, he isn't being racist. If the mayor can say what she said: . . . which is basically what Trump said, why is he racist and she not racist? The viral video clip came in response to media figures and Democrats falsely claiming that the president's tweets on Saturday were racist. Nowhere in Trump's tweets did he refer to race as he called out the poor living conditions inside Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings' (MD) district. "Rep. Elijah Cummings has been a brutal bully, shouting and screaming at the great men & women of Border Patrol about conditions at the Southern Border, when actually his Baltimore district is FAR WORSE and more dangerous," Trump tweeted. "His district is considered the Worst in the USA as proven last week during a Congressional tour, the Border is clean, efficient & well run, just very crowded. Cumming District is a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. If he spent more time in Baltimore, maybe he could help clean up this very dangerous & filthy place." (Edited again . . . something keeps messing up on this post)

Oh amoLucia . . .I'm so hungry! I spent most of the day doing a big "company clean" on Spidey's bedroom. That meant vacuuming cobwebs and dust, washing walls, taking a large pile of clothing to the hallway where I chucked it all down the laundry chute into the basement. I'm hot, sweaty, and hungry. My oldest son, his wife, and my two grandchildren are coming in August for a 3 day visit. They stay in Spidey's room so I have to make it clean enough for company. I'm sitting in front of a fan in the kitchen trying to decide what to make for dinner. I really don't want to cook. So, that English muffin and homemade jam sounds so yummy. But I don't have any English muffins or bagels. I miss Spidey . . . .

I've been doing a "company clean" in my son's room all day and so had some time to listen to videos online. As you all know, I follow Candace Owens. She and Dave Rubin had a one hour chat and it started with his talking about classic liberalism and how that is what he is and he differentiates that from "the left". I thought about our earlier conversation where I mentioned this and thought I'd add the link. It is a good look at what we on the other side are thinking. Maybe might be a good idea to listen to the other side instead of making knee-jerk reactions that simply because a person disagree with you, you have to be racist, homophobic, hateful, etc. I honestly think the left is shooting itself in the foot and painting themselves into a box (as Dave mentions). Anyway, I'll link it even though I'm pretty sure many won't watch it. But it does give a pretty good description of classical liberal - JFK being a classical liberal. The last sentence below is important. The "tolerant left" is no longer very tolerant. Dave’s journey from a left leaning progressive to a free thinking classical liberal has been quite an adventure. As a gay married man living in America, Dave spent the majority of his adult life subscribing to a certain political belief system based primarily on his immutable characteristics. Fed up with the mainstream media narrative and click-bait news, Dave decided to open up about his awakening, for all to see. He came to realize that no person or idea should be expected to join a side, but rather they should embrace their status as an individual. He now feels that the modern left has lost its way by taking political correctness and groupthink to a dangerous level, distracting from the true American dream of the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Dave’s background as a stand up comedian, degree in political science, and willingness to listen without fighting has uniquely positioned him to tackle big ideas and uncomfortable truths with thought leaders from both sides of the aisle. His show The Rubin Report aims to create civil discourse with people we both agree and disagree with, and host a dialogue with others whose ideas are judged before being given the chance to be presented in an honest way.

Ah, I see someone took away the "dislike" on my post. Well, that's good so thanks. The video was posted, as noted in the link, on Kimberly Klacik's Twitter with permission of Michelle and of course then it goes viral so I'm pretty sure it is ok to share here. Why in the world is it so hard to maybe take a deep breath and have a conversation and look at what some other folks are saying?

The people of Baltimore, including journalist Kimberly Klacik, are not interested in the race card Democrats are playing as they back the president. “It is so sad to see @VictorBlackwell & @CNN turn the light currently shining on #WestBaltimore into a race issue,” she said. This could result in a positive change. @RepCummings could help get his district in order. Listen to one of his constituents explain the "rats & rodents" problem.

Just saw Michelle from Baltimore speaking about this and thought it would be helpful to see another side to the story. Wow, someone doesn't "like" this black woman sharing her own viewpoint?

My dh and I are HOH . . . both need hearing aids. But they are too pricey. So we choose quiet places as well and have been known to ask for the music to be turned down. Old fogies rule!
