Hang in there. This is a time that sucks but my CA sister (literally my sister who lives in CA) always tells me, getting rid of negative energy leaves room for positive. So, your concern is negative energy and maybe this friendship as well. Addressing this may alleviate your concern and help to free up more space for…

I hope it goes well for you, it’s hard to lose a friend. But if it does cost you the friendship (for now or forever) I believe you will have done the right thing. Good luck, Bananabunny, you sound like a great friend and if she loses you? It will be her loss.

It sounds like your friend is trying to earn money. Not sure what is behind that, and it seems very questionable to do it in this way, but it makes me wonder what is going on in her life. That said, this is not the way, friend of Banana.

We made fondue in my home ec class in the 1970s. It was delicious. 

I remember when people smoked on airplanes. It worked as well as you’d expect. 

If we are able welcomed in other countries and can travel again? I want to add Woolworths to my itinerary. Thank you. 

I bought my favorite ever drink coasters at a pier one on West Saginaw in Lansing, MI. I’m just saying. But I’ll never miss Pier 1 the way I still miss Woolworths. (You young people, you don’t know what it was like. Woolworths and McCrorys—I used to shop at the Woolworths in Newport RI, then stop at the lunch counter…

I like that thinking. Maybe she could have some kind of van or something...

Chinstraps, too! So they’ll stay on my head and I don’t destroy my hair...

I am old. When I was in first grade, my Dad was sent to war (career navy) which at the time was a year tour of duty after a reboot in training. And I’m one of five kids. After he got his orders, but before he left for CA (training in maybe tactical?) he decided to spend quality time with each of us kids, in small…

Interesting study of camel toe. While I realize that there was no internet back then, we were using Camel Toe back when I was in junior high (because our one piece gym uniforms gave almost everyone unfortunate camel toe). That’s the first time I remember hearing the term, but it was probably already in common usage.…

I know, she’s suffering. Her dad was just in the hospital. I should be kind. But, lord love a duck, she sounds clueless. Or should I use a more UK term like dreadful or thick?

“Huh. I wonder if they are real?”

Yeah, it is so grim and yet it seems like the only sure way to stay alive.

Shoot him and hope your lawyer can get you off. I’m being sarcastic but I’m also saying that this is really the option by which you live. 

Bernie Sanders brought it up? That’s not as convincing as you think. But what the heck, let’s all nickname ourselves. I’m calling myself The Edit Princess. You?

Sanders is not known as the Amendment King. It’s like “fetch”. It’s not happening. 

I already knew you were coughing in Canadian because it was “politely coughs”. I speak Canadian cough, actually. 

Almost wouldn’t matter if it was. Because the MI votes were so close. But, no, he believes in vaccines so no.
