Ask librarians to make signs and show up at dawn with megaphones. Librarians are aces at this. <br /><br />4. Get all your hoity foreign guests to write the legislature. Since you aren't yet quite sure what you're protesting ask them to just spew non-specific vitriol. <br /><br />5. Nudity. It worked for Helen Mirren and the Doukabhors. <br /><br /><br /><br />4.

We're certainly going through that here for many reasons. If that photo is what is happening next to you then it is truly dreadful. I feel like that about the huge campground across the river from us which destroyed our lovely private swimming hole and took a lot of peace from our summer. You can hear the kids shrieking from our back yard. We know we could have a lot of change here very quickly with three elderly parents and our rather difficult, awful and needy siblings on both sides. All we can do is make plans for our future lives and that is what we have been working on. best wishes for your plans and future...Sharyn Ekberghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11987304898246173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-16969700925556876712016-10-05T08:38:01.532-02:302016-10-05T08:38:01.532-02:30Please tell us more.
