This is so crazy, I couldn’t believe it. A “friend” of mine who is a big Trump supporter and Fox News and Limbaugh person, just asked if I still had Michelle Obama’s book, she would like to read it. I said sure, any time. First, I live in a senior community and we have a rule that we do not talk politics, at all. So while I know she voted for Trump, and she knows I consider myself a “liberal Dem”, other than an occasional comment it is not discussed.

I was surprised when she asked to read the book. And then she said “I want to find out something about her since she is going to run against Trump next year”. WTF???? I told her that was crazy, since Michelle is really not into politics that much. But she was just sure.

Has anyone else heard this?? Where did that come from?? Does anyone here know where that kind of crazy rumor came from??

Almost two and a half years since I lost my soul mate, my best friend, my love of 40 years, I have started making decisions about what to do with the rest of my life. After much frustration with the normal day to day problems that come with owning a home.. I decided to move to a wonderful senior community that is close to where I grew up and my daughter. They are in the beginning stages of expansion, with a new complex of apartments available in 2017. Last month I was able to put a down payment down and choose an apartment plan and location. Two bedrooms, two bath, 1200 square feet with a screened in balcony. I have two years to downsize and get ready.

When a loved one is dying of a terminal disease, like cancer, you have time to think in terms of what to do, cremation versus not, funeral home, church, service, celebration of life… Many options are available in today’s society. But making decisions on what to do is not always easy.

Welcome, fellow travelers on the grief journey
and a special welcome to anyone new to The Grieving Room.
We meet every Monday evening.
Whether your loss is recent, or many years ago;
whether you've lost a person, or a pet;
or even if the person you're "mourning" is still alive,
("pre-grief" can be a very lonely and confusing time),
you can come to this diary and say whatever you need to say.
We can't solve each other's problems,
but we can be a sounding board and a place of connection.
Unlike a private journal
here, you know: your words are read by people who
have been through their own hell.
There's no need to pretty it up or tone it down..
It just is.

We met in a hospital in the Midwest. He came there as a as a management consultant, AKA efficiency expert, I had a position in the records department. The project would keep him on site for three months, evaluating and later installing new systems.

When I ready the diary on the Psalm 109:8 that had a link, I decided to send off an E-mail as I do purchase stuff from them for my grandkids. I did watch Rachel last night and was really upset about this whole thing. I'm old enough to remember JFK - and find it very very upsetting to even think of losing a president that way, any president.

Weird response... starting with

A few days ago I wrote a comment, sort of at the end of a long bunch of comments on a diary regarding the writer’s frustration with the mortgage bailout of foolish owners. I dashed it off fairly quickly, but at the time thought is was one of my better comments. In checking my hotlist this morning, I found that at least one reader thought my comment was pretty good. So I decided to polish it up a little and post it as a diary. It is long, but bear with me.

I have a 62-year-old brother, a good catholic, who has been struggling to keep his airline job until he can retire. (Used to work for TWA and is hanging on with American). He admits that the Dems are better for him economically, but is basically pro-life. He has been pretty uncomfortable with Obama, worried about McCain’s age, and about a month ago told me that the VP pick would probably decide his vote. I got a phone call the other day; he was really UPSET with the Palin pick.

There is a poll on CNN.com right now about the outcome of the rules and bylaws committee determinations on Michigan and Florida yesterday.

Question: Is the Democratic Party committee's decision on Florida and Michigan sufficient to settle the issue?

Right now the no's are ahead, 52% to 48% for the yes vote. It seems to me that we could do much better.

I checked and couldn't find any other diary on this.

I'll try for the link... http://www.cnn.com/ The poll is down a little, on the right.

I called my congressman today..

This morning I read the local paper and saw that my congressman basically said he would continue is support of Hillary and to let the process continue through the end. Then on Kos I read about the USA today story and it didn’t look like Hillary was going to back off on the Obama bashing. That really ticked me off.

Really, I’m sick of it. I’m a long time Kos reader, an occasional commenter, and rarely write a diary. I come to DK right after I turn on the computer, check in several times a day, and once again before I turn off the computer at night. I went to Chicago last summer and enjoyed every minute. But lately the whole recommended list is just full of more and more diaries slamming one or another candidate. And I’m sick of it.

There is a very special female kitten needing a home in New York at the Lincoln Square Veterinary Hospital. See pictures and story at the following blog...

I read CR all the time, he gives me hope that there are really decent conservatives out there, somewhere. He rescued this kitten, and now she is ready for a home. Someone in his comments said that he should post the story here, and I thought it was a good idea.

I hope I got the link in ok, if not it is currningrealist.blogspot.com.

I have seen several comments with other people that have had problems getting the feed. I am no techy but I finally got it up. The problem was apparently with the REalPlayer - when I loaded it to my desktop it never connected to the RealPlayer web site to register. And if it wouldn't connect for that, it won't connect for AA. After fooling around, working my way through the Real Player suggestions - I knew it was a setting problem but couldn't figure it out. However, I have a newer lap top, so I loaded the REal Player to my lap top - came right up!!
My laptop is newer, but XP also.

I know that everyone may not have a spare computer around. However, if you haven't gone through the REal Player help on connection settings, try that. There were several things you could do.
