(1) My blog - check.
(2) My Reading List - check.
(3) Watched 2016! - NEW for those who care.
(4) My freezer contents - out of control. Seriously. I don't really know when famine and pestilence will occur and the general breakdown of civil society along with food availability will collapse but hell, my larders will outlive me.
(5)My pantry - ditto to freezer.
And yeah, seriously working on these - interesting, haven't bought food in 10 days.
(6)Acceptance of DST. Seriously, it was lovely at 6.30 this morning. Dawn!!! But dreading the darkness descending at five-ish tonight. Nobody has every explained why this is necessary apart from, drum roll - schoolchildren! Could they not adapt school hours? And speaking of....why this unearthly summer break?
(7)What does happen if the USA becomes Drumpf Nation? I don't think I've ever seen such a democratic travesty in my lifetime as this current US election process.
That's <30> for now.
"What does happen if the USA becomes Drumpf Nation?
ReplyDeleteMy greatest fear is that it won't. 8 years of the Clinton Crime Machine will be the end of us!

What crimes has she been convicted of Moe?
DeleteAnd I can't begin to list the charges pending for him. Plus his misogyny, racism and intolerance.

If you look at Moe's profile, it explains a lot. We have lots of them here in Montana....'the guvment is comin' to take our guns!!' etc. Locally, we call them nuts.
DeleteCheers,
Mike
I hope Montana is not too infested. Is there an antidote or vaccine Mike?

Mr Fish,
DeleteI'd say the locals probably call you a Liberal and wish you'd move back to Kalifornee.
-Moe
I like the way you write; and know your Liberal/Progressive mind set; I shouldn't have taken the bait on the Drumpf comment. So,,,,, on that note. Have a great day.

Oh dear Moe. Words fail. So there.

Well whatever happens on Tuesday, you have a full larder!
ReplyDeleteWe've never been so interested in USA Politics over here as we are now! It's unbelievable! (Mind you, who would have thought Brexit would happen!)

I know Maggie. And our Liberal prime minister turns out to be a pipeline advocate and war monger.

(7) What's the point in commenting ... no one listens anyway. (6) Don't get me started; the school calendar was designed a hundred years ago. (1) thru (5) - congrats!
ReplyDeleteI've Ben so horrified Tom and more than a little traumatized so haven't stuck my toes in The Donald waters until now. Triggered by that awful effigy of HRC hanging from a tree.

I have been doing the same types of things, a long with a lot of thinking, which usually either nets me trouble or a foul mood these days. My larder is full, too. At this point, I wish I had a bunker to hide in.
ReplyDeleteWe all need bunkers with this moron's small fingers on the buttons,E. He is terrifying.

Trump flat terrifies me. The Fox propaganda machine has convinced people Hillary Clinton is a criminal and his followers willfully overlook everything horrific about Trump.
ReplyDeleteMe too SAW. I hope every woman in the US votes out this obscenity of a groper/rapist.

Malcolm Gladwell on The National the other night nailed it: flat out women-hate from Trump and his supporters. He said she has survived decades of this, and her election win won't stop it. These are the Burning Times.
DeleteYes, and I am reminded of what happened in Europe in the middle ages when they burned a couple of million of us.

And, we in the good ol' USA won't charge you for the entertainment! It's all a giant hoax, just to amuse our Canadian friends.

The world is waiting with bated breath for the outcome. No point speculating. The latest revelations about the emails not being toxic may perhaps help the other prospect!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Ramana his followers don't read and don't care. Interviewed, they're not aware is daddy left him pin money of 14mill. They insist he's a self-made man.

Yes, yes. And the FACT he cheated on his taxes to the millions -is somehow proof he's a good businessman.
DeleteI am not so terrified of Trump as I am of the American citizen. What does their support for such a monster say about Average America? Chilling.
Yes, I think it a massive wakeup call Anon. And perhaps that's a good thing.

Sometimes I think it's better to be in the belly of the beast than on the sidelines. I feel quite confident, today, that we will emerge from this horror.
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends assured me of the same thing Hattie and I'm breathing slightly easier. But this can never happen again.

Every six months the clocks go back and forth. Each time there are people asking why this tedious business is necessary. Each time there's a deafening silence from the authorities.
ReplyDeleteAnxiously waiting to see if there are enough gullible, misguided individuals to vote Trump into the White House.
Today's the day Nick. Fingers crossed. Or not. 😯

I agree with Nick on the DST thing. The same silent authorities have created the mess that the USA finds itself in.I have wondered what it would be like to see a great nation humbled and finished as a world power.Maybe I will see it.Remember the old Chinese curse:"may you live in interesting times". Methinks that they are already here.
ReplyDeleteAnd all through history.....good to see you on here GFB. 😁

The only "good" thing to come out of Trump's disgusting run is that you know realize who the racist bigots are in your midst...Sadly, they are not all (most, but not all) backwoods hillbillies. They are educated, professional people who support this man, and that I find absolutely disgraceful. And I will not forget, once this election is over, who of my neighbors, friends, etc., stood up for him. It has been an eye-opener, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteI feel really lucky that all of my USian friends are appalled Elle. Heartbroken too. It is a horrifying new world now. The worst of us has won.

Well it happened! Seemingly his first 100 days will be spent putting putting big red lines through all that's happened over the past few years.
ReplyDeleteHave had a long look at your 'books read 2016'. Making lists for next year. Decided to open my eyes to other authors and genre
Take care

Books are good. I love books. I'm currently reading "People of The Book" and Pants if you're reading this I recommend. The protagonist has much the same quirky writing style as your good self. :)

WWW - when you say 'Pants', do you mean the 'Sisterhood' series?
DeleteHas been so disappointing to realize there are even more people in U.S. Who supported this Prez-elect than I believed would. The world is going upside down and backwards!
