I don’t really care what people look like. I do care what they teach and Joyce is bad news.

Never forget they hated being TAXED by the royals. That is to say, the modern people worshipping 1776 don’t have feelings about the royals one way or the other (the dead ones.) They have STRONG feelings about taxation without representation, by which they actually just mean paying any taxes.

So, there’s a picture of this, because of the paparazzi following them. Harry doesn’t look very happy about it. I don’t know how often it happened, but I have a feeling what Harry was saying was he got to go ride his bike with his kid on the back like a normal person and not like an exhibit in the zoo.

Because I have had some close friends who are black, it took me along time to see my own racial bias and the way that racism effected my thinking. I have never consciously thought people of color were not as good as white people, and have never consciously wanted bad for anyone because of their color. Therefore, for…

It’s a bit disingenuous to say that Elizabeth and Phillip are married to “protect their bloodline.” It’s far from the truth. No one wanted them to get married. He wasn’t considered good enough for the future queen of England.

She looks like a caricature, and makes fun of herself for it, and is pretty great.

* nodding * That all makes great sense.

I had a laugh this morning. My kids are both in high school and I got an email from a bank type place saying “Save for your kids education early!”

It’s waaaaay too late to be early.

But also, we already have a college savings account at said bank type place. * shrugs *

Well, you know, It’s a WHOLE lot more money by the time college comes if that account starts now.

At least that’s what pops into my mind.

I completely agree. I do think she wanted some kind of LA experience in-patient thing, hence the “this would look bad for the royal family”. In LA it wouldn’t look bad to check in somewhere for wellness. Whether she actually wanted to fly somewhere or not is an interesting thing to wonder about, but something we can’t…

It’s an impossible story to explain with strict USA-Protestant-Evangelical Hermeneutics.

You are doing the Lord’s work. <3 Oddly enough, my husband who grew up Southern Baptist did the same thing for me.

My personal teenage rebellion was to be way more religious than my relatively easy going parents.

Met my husand in college. He had already realized that overly zealous evangelicalism is pretty bad helped…

Plus, she seems unhealthily skinny for a woman her age with three kids. It’s no big deal if it’s her natural size, but she really does have the physical appearance of someone with an eating disorder.

Theory:

What if she wanted to go to a center, some kind of retreat place?

I theorize this because of her frequent mentions of being trapped and not being able to get out, and not being able to drive places and then the big one: having her passport taken.

I just wonder if what she was asking for was in-patient treatment…

Because I have watched that really helpful documentary “The Crown” I can’t help but agree. ;D

But really, I agree. I wish that she could see the need.
But she is
A. The Mother of Boomers who need to buck up already.
B. A mechanic who served her country in WWII. (I suspect this makes her tough.)
C. The Queen so her level…

Very true! The bible even says cover that shit up or cut it off. I usually cut it off but covid has me all long haired right now....

The Amish, conservative Mennonites, and many Orthodox communities still have a hair-covered thing going on.
 

Ay. That he did!

(I don’t know, I just thought a response in Scotts-English would be nice here.)

Amen.

Also: If I was having a problem with God, I wouldn’t have been seeking marriage counseling.

I really wanted to hear them say that the claims of denying mental health care to a member of the family would be looked into. It should horrify Grandma to hear that a woman she likes who is married to a grandson she loves, wasn’t able to get help she needed because of the structure of the system. 

Seems like good evidence that God doesn’t care what we look like, eh? ;D

sounds good to me!
