“You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I'll rise!” ― Maya Angelou
Had a nice, warm (believe it or not; temps in the April range) day today. The only bad spot was the stock market fell a great deal on the first day of trading. But I was waiting for that and snatched up some bank stock and put it into the NISA account, which I think England also has. Too complicated to explain here but it seems to be a good deal. (no taxes on divs; no capital gains when you sell - but no tax allowance if you lose money on it).
School starts back Tuesday. That'll put us back in a routine.
DG, I hope your dad gets to come home too.
It's my dad's birthday. 65, I think. He and mom took off for parts unknown after lunch. Don't know when they'll be back.

I'm with the rest of you. woke up 1 1/2 hours before my alarm went off. Tried to go back to sleep, but you know how that goes. Not looking forward to going back to work!

Trump is coming to Vermont to speak. The entire state is baffled by this.
He DOES know Bernie is running for president, right? And he does know that Bernie is extremely popular here? Because he is from here?
And that really nobody here at all likes him, and we are not happy he is coming?
People are buying tickets, and planning not to go, there is talk of having music and food and dancing in the square instead.

Um, he's campaigning? Candidates campaign all over the place.

No one ever comes to Vermont. I think it has happened maybe twice in the last five or six elections.
Why would someone campaign only where he is popular? He already has their votes. It's the ones who aren't supporters he needs to convince. Don't like him? Don't go. I'm sure Trump would enjoy music and food and dancing, too, so I doubt that would really hurt him.
Hope DG's dad comes home!
Happy birthday Lily's dad!
Fluffy got out of her cage. Not sure how yet, but probably unlatched the gate and squeezed through. I have a paperclip through it to secure it, but the clip wasn't tight enough I suspect. Anyway, she was in the shower waiting for me to put her back, then screamed at me when I picked her up. Beotch.
As #1 says, normal is boring. But it's back to work and school, so back to routine.

No, the plan is to have as many seats in the venue he is speaking at be empty, and have a rocking party/fundraiser for Bernie elsewhere.
He needs to campaign to the undecided voters, not the staunch supporters of another party/candidate.
Here, if the audience isn't empty he is liable to be booed off stage.

I need a video of that!!!

No worries. If there is so much as one person booing, the liberal media will zero in on him and pretend the whole crowd was involved, and make up a story about Trump stomping off and pouting.

Oy Czech! What a rotten way to start the day!
It can only get better, from here. Right?
I used to be a Vikings fan, back in the day. I'm glad for you that they won.

No need to make up a story. That's exactly how he would act.
Thanks, FWM. DH was so verbal last night during that game, my ears hurt..
You should have heard him and DS on the phone during that game. First cheering, then screaming, then cheering, then screaming.. I thought the windows would break.
And I was upstairs!!

Why buy tickets then? I'm sure he would appreciate the added funds though. But that is not fair to those who may want to go and can't get a ticket. Just don't go.
Personally, I can't see Trump getting upset and pouting or storming off over anything. There was a story that this occurred awhile back, they the paper later admitted it was false.
It is a thing that is happening. Like I said, the goal is to have an empty venue.
Oh, I am sure there are a few people around that might like to go, but he really is not popular at all here.

What is this "normal" that you speak of? Normal is a setting on the washing machine.
Healing and positive thought for everyone who needs them.
Work today. Bossman could not live without me for another day. Still only 2 days a week but I have been off since the 23rd. Desk is covered with his notes. And he was away for 5 days of it too.
Sinus still acting up, I brought my humidifier to work with me. I just want to sleep for 3 more days.
Trump, unless something changes, will be the next president.
Why?
Because he is the polar opposite of Ocrapa.
