Someone on another board asked if everyone was ok today. Here was my response.
How about you? Are you ok?

As I said in another thread, what Hillary and Obama said has stuck with me: He deserves a chance to show that he can do the job.
For eight years we've been hearing conservatives go on and on about how awful things are. Well, here is their chance to show us what they can do. I for one am not happy with the election results, but I'm willing to see what can be accomplished instead of worrying about what will be taken away.
There is all the time in the world to worry and be negative, but I'm not going to choose to spend my time doing that.

This comes from the person who said she didn't give a rats ass about the syrian refugees, so of course you're not worried that our President elect said he was going to send them all back.

I am a woman, an immigrant and I have a disability. No, I'm not ok.
One of my best friends is a Marine. My step-son is in the Army, currently in the Middle East. They're going to be needed more than ever in the coming four years. No, I'm not ok.
A man who catered to the lowest common denominator won the presidency. Not because it's what the people wanted, Hillary won the popular vote, but because of the ridiculousness of the electoral college. No, I'm not ok.
There's nothing I can do about it. It can't be changed. I can only pray that at the end of the next four years we're all still here to right this wrong.

I have a headache. I am not going to make you all suffer because of it, but I wish it would leave me the EFF alone. It feels like a hangover but I didn't consume anything to leave one. I got plenty of sleep, the house isn't too hot, nothing is wrong, I just have a freaking headache.
Please make it go away.

yeah, I'm ok. a bit shocked and disappointed but overall, I'm good. I certainly would never let anything Trump related make me not ok.

That is a very respectable thing to do, in a time where you did not have to.

I'm really disappointed.
But I work in a job (two, in fact) where I get up in the morning and I know that what we do betters our community. I got up this morning and my work didn't change. My fundamental working values of kindness, inclusion, generosity, and access didn't change. So my way forward is the same as it was yesterday. Love Jesus. Love people. Do my work.
Acknowledging my own privilege in this statement 100%. I know some folks who are struggling today. Not just with comprehending it but with their feelings that as immigrants, or people in same-sex marriages, or Muslims, that their way of living is potentially in jeopardy. Folks with pre-existing conditions and folks with cancer afraid to see lifetime limits and healthcare exclusions back on the table. Lots of anxiety in my circle today.
So - I'm OK, but the folks that aren't - I get it.

My 9 year old niece who was adopted from Ethiopia as a 6 month old woke up this morning and asked her parents if she was going to have to go back to Africa. No I'm not ok! ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

I get somewhat how others may feel...felt that way the last 8 years. Although I accepted and moved on very quickly.

And I mentioned that I didn't hear anyone talking about the African girls who are still raped and maimed on a daily basis, but I guess it's convenient for you to forget that part, you lying bitch.

Yes. I'm fine. I told myself yesterday that no matter what, that we'd be ok. The system of checks and balances is in place for a reason. It's very difficult to go rogue as an individual. Trump has not made friends in the "establishment" so some of his promises will never happen. I could say the same if HRC was there today.
We'll be ok. I promise.

annabella is that like when you said that newscaster deserved to be stalked and raped? Oh wait, I just twisted your words into something you didn't say...just like you did. I've defended your right to speak as you think time and again, but I'm done. Once again I know you'll just take a dump and leave, your usual MO. But don't you ever try to put false words in my mouth again, you vapid moron. Don't forget to wipe after that dump you left. I'd hate for you to get any shit on your Bebe dress. THEN how would you be able to be the Pea style icon? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I was doing fine, tired and a headache but I've been through many elections and losing is part of it. Then my two nieces, lovely young women, reach out to me because they are not okay. That was hard..no lie.

THEN how would you be able to be the Pea style icon? Are you dense, I posted right back to your previous post? Good god why would I want some crazy person like you defending me? I have no idea what newscaster you're talking about, but I definitely never said anyone deserved to be stalked and raped, that's crazy talk, that's you. Yes your Syria post was very flippant because you didn't give a rats ass about them. I did not twist your words. Judging by your tone and name calling in your posts you're clearly in a very sad place in your life.

Yes he said vile things but who didn't? I see all these people crying because their handicapped child has to live in trump world. I have a learning disabled child and her life isn't going to change one bit unless trump himself comes into her school and fires all of the staff. Why take the comments so personal? Elenor Roosevelt said it best--no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Half the stuff he said were empty promises and the other half is hopefully an attempt to reform some of the piss poor policies in place currently. I'm not Hillary or trump--I'm America and our country is what we make it. it always was. I remember when bill Clinton won the first time people swore they were leaving the country. And it gets said during every campaign. How very dramatic of people.

Mentally I am drained. Physically my blood pressure is literally going through the roof. I know it is, as per my Drs orders on Monday morning I have to monitor it several times a day over the next 2 weeks, as they are looking for signs of pre-eclampsia rearing its ugly head. This morning when I took it it was 162/111. It has come down a bit since then. My latest was 132/88. Not great, but not as terrifying as that first reading.
I need to be done reading and posting here and reading on Facebook/Twitter, but I can't seem to help myself. I like posting here because it gives me an outlet to say things I cannot/will not say on Facebook. I also like to read everyone else's stories and opinions about what is happening/what has happened. But I realize I might need to say goodbye for a while.

Still waiting on those posts that said I don't give a rat's ass about Syrian refugees...
But totally done with the negativity on this thread. I came in here to show a little positivity, was attacked, and now will try and remember to not let myself be so easily baited by someone I don't even know.
Let's all try to work on that today!

Z*g and I don't like each other at all but she's absolutely right about you Annabella. You DO dump and run; you are a vapid bitch.
She did say something very upbeat and of course, you had to come in and shit on it because that's what you do.
