Hoping Mayor Pete can be on the ticket in either capacity. He is truly impressive and seems very compassionate. Exactly what we need.

I usually like Taylor's music. It's catchy and makes you want to dance around. Plus she seems like a genuinely nice person.

I live near Philadelphia and our local news has had a lot of Biden news these past few weeks. (I guess because he lives a few miles away in Wilmington, DE). A few weeks ago, he and Stacy Abrams met and the news here was speculating that they were meeting to discuss possible VP consideration if Biden were to run and be chosen as the Democratic nominee. I know it's really early yet, but I guess anything is possible. I would absolutely vote Biden/Abrams.

I will vote for Biden. I will. I like him. I do however, think we need some young blood and diversity. Butigieg, Harris, either order are my picks for the dream ticket. I like Biden but he IS too old. I like Buttigieg (honestly, is that the right spelling?) but he IS too young. Together, they might make the ideal ticket. I'm in.

Honestly, I am exhausted thinking that the 20/20 campaign has already begun. I think there should be a restriction on when it can all start...at least keep it all within the same calendar year! Me too. The Australian political process has its flaws, but that's something they've really got right. The actual campaigning for elections is a blessedly short time frame. Usually not more than 6 months. Probably because we don't have set fixed terms. It sort of feels like Trump has been recampaigning for 2020 since the day he was inaugurated. He has been. Since day 1. He only knows how to campaign. ::Thumbs down::

Not my style of dress, but she is covered. I think it is fine. She is a parent, not a student. We must have a really different definition of covered then. She most certainly is not fine. And I think it’s appalling any adult would leave their house like that, much less try to go into a school. Maybe we're not looking at the same pic. Her legs are showing. That is it.

Did you see the picture of the woman in the Marylin Monroe tshirt who started this whole thing? It was just a shirt. It wasn’t a dress. We are talking about a woman who flat out couldn’t be bothered to put on pants. Pants. The woman tried to go on campus in a shirt with NO PANTS ON. If you can’t be bothered to wear pants in public, maybe you do need a dress code 🤷🏻♀️ Not my style of dress, but she is covered. I think it is fine. She is a parent, not a student.

Because pharmaceutical companies testified in the past that opioids were not addictive. Because the pharmaceutical companies were doing nothing to curb the abuse of these drugs, even when large amounts of opioids were being shipped to populations that couldn't possibly be consuming the amount of opioids that were being distributed in those areas. They knew there were issues and did nothing and made a fortune off the abuse of these drugs. I knew about the certain States where the pharmacies were given MUCH more than the # of people that lived there, so that's terrible and should have been a huge red flag!
I didn't know about pharmaceutical companies testifying that opioids were not addictive. Do you have any links or reference to that?? I've been on them for about 6 years now and I've never heard that. I've always been advised of how serious the meds were and what possible side effects were (addiction was one of them & has always been clearly written in the handout with the Rx). Thanks!
Here's a linkI'm sure there is video out there too. I have seen it on TV.

I'll be honest. I walked onto campus one day in my PJs (completely covered but definitely PJs), no make up and hair not done. Super embarrassing, but my first grader would not get out of the car on her own. Another first grader had been chasing her around the playground at recesses (was the first I was hearing about it), and she would not get out of the car and go to the playground and wait for school to start by herself. I parked the car, walked her onto campus and had to find her teacher to explain the situation and drop my child off. This was the first time I was meeting this teacher btw. (Alternative was for her to be late or to miss school.)

Special is a new series produced by Jim Parsons. I found it sweet and funny. It's about a gay man who has cerebral palsy.
Thanks for all the series suggestions!

Thank you for posting this. Remember to go through EBATES to get an extra percentage back. (Right now Sephora is 4%, not sure what it will be on sale day.)

I think the dress looks great! You should wear it with some sort of wrap like you're planning. If your mall has Hot Topic, they have all sorts of Alice In Wonderland things.

I donated all the VHS tapes about 7 years ago to the local children's hospital (when they still accepted VHS tapes). Last year I pulled out the entire DVD collection and went through them with DD and DH. We got rid of 2 grocery sacks full! The only one that she really had to keep was Down Periscope. Silliest movie ever but still sends her into fits of laughter. I'm pretty sure she uses it as a screening tool with guys she dates! She let go of DVD's much easier than DH did. I second that, especially if they are in those original oversized white cases with the first version of the poster art on the cover. Particularly The Little Mermaid. This has turned into one of those urban legends that pops up all the time on the eBay sellers boards I'm on. Most Disney VHS tapes aren't worth very much, if you can even sell them. The only Disney VHS that sell for decent money will be the factory sealed ones in mint condition. Doing a quick search on eBay for Little Mermaid in Completed Items will shows 1,567 sales ended, with only 410 sales. Most of those are under $10, any many are included in lots of multiple tapes. Around here many thrift stores won't even accept donations of VHS tapes any longer. It cycles on ebay. I have see the Little Mermaid go high. The 2nd release awhile back (probably 5ish years ago) was selling for a good amount if still in the packaging. It came with a necklace or bracelet. Song of the South VHS goes for a fair amount too.

I will vote for the Dem that ends up with the nomination. I can get behind most of them, but quite frankly any of them will be better than the current occupant of the White House. A Harris, Butigieg ticket (either order) would be awesome.

Sketch. Should not be done. Taking pics of a purchased magazine in a waiting room is a different story.

I think the investigation should continue. It should not become the obsession of the House to the exclusion of policy they promised voters they would work on during the mid-terms. I realize they don't have the votes in the Senate or the WH to do much themselves but they need to try. They need to bring bills to the floor that people care about and they can campaign on in 2020. For example, show us what you want healthcare legislation to look like. The investigation may still yield a smoking gun that the president can not hide from and the results of their investigations may be key to boosting support for his challenger in 2020. In short, continue to investigate with a limited number of representatives involved and talking about it but use that as only one avenue toward ousting Trump in 2020. 22 months of investigation, $30 million, 2500 subpoenas issued, over 500 search warrants executed. What more do you think they'll do that they haven't already done to change the outcome of the Mueller investigation? Change the outcome? I would just like to see the outcome. Release the unredacted report. If not to the public, at least to all of our representatives!!
