My worst week ever was waiting in the ICU in 2007 watching my father die. We aren’t religious, but he was catholic, we did the last rites, unhooked all the machines and waited. It took 14 hours.

So I’m pregnant. Not being able to drink this last week has been heinous. I wish I had your attitude, but man, having to feel these feelings has been brutal.

I feel that way too sorta. Like, for some reason, I’m surprised her and Bill took their fluffy dog for a random walk. But why not? She’s home, she’s relaxing, she’s probably trying do decompress, grieve, recover, why not a walk with the fluffy dog?

I’m a labor law attorney but have no background in doing this document work. I’m frustrated!! I keep feeling like my niche is not going to help everyone! I will also get to researching.

Maybe it is too far, but he needs to hear it. The fact he doesn’t make the connection between “angry, tempermental ego maniac who commands the armed forces” with danger to his son who is in the military, is staggering.

I’m so sorry. I’m lucky in that my entire office, save one person, all voted for Hillary. We are a public employee union, so we will likely be out of a job in a few years. It was super somber around here, oh, and we got tagged too, which is funny since we didn’t support Trump. IT’s awful

The one thing I agree with you whole heartedly, regardless of minority turn out, there is no doubt that millions of registered white voters that normally would vote democrat, did not vote. Trump won because democrats didn’t vote. I don’t know if that is because they were Bernie supporters and wouldn’t vote for…

My friend who is a liberal surrounded by people like this explained what he feels the thought process is. The majority of the voices in the screaming crowd don’t even think about racism the way you and I do. That’s not even the biggest thing on their radar. They are able to “dismiss” the racism, the sexism, the things…

I found out by accident that a very lovely coworker i’ve had for a year voted Trump. She’s super sweet, and I hate to be a jerk, but someone I always felt wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. I really feel her Trump support is born out of ignorance. But I work with this person, I can’t launch into diatribes against…

I agree. I firmly believe there was nothing she could do. She did a great job and ran a great campaign. If you look at it, the country always seems to switch parties after 8 years of one. I always believed the next president would be Republican. It was just that when he got the nomination, I got excited because I…

Watching her with grace makes me realize that all of us, people who identify as liberal democrats, we need to understand what we did wrong, and what we can do better. I know that blaming racism and misogyny are what makes sense to us, but it has to be more than that. The bottom line, is that millions of people who…

Gotchya. A few things I noticed when I was finally pregnant (I’m only 8 weeks, but its my second one so maybe I’m a bit more intuned?) So fatigue, I realize a week before my missed period I was so tired, like, i feel like I’d been hit by a truck tired, for no reason. Sore back, like, low back pain, and cramps that…

Honestly, as someone who has just gone through this, just pee on the stick! I get it, I’m pregnant right now after months of trying. I would try to wait, and I always did until the first day of my period, but rather than sit there and worry, I’d just test. Just do it, and good luck!!!!

I feel the same way. I’ve decided to avoid conversations at work. I had a conversation start with a coworker I adore. He’s truly one of the best people I know, and when I found out he was voting Trump, I was devastated. You learn things about people you don’t want to know. I guess I’d rather stay in ignorance than…

I can’t believe I missed this last night.

My polling place is a little church by my house. I’ve never been there longer than 10 minutes, including this morning. However, while I was happily filling out my ballot (it took a while, CA has a million props on the ballot) a woman beside me who’d been there already demanded to speak to the head poll worker, when…

What’s a “waterhead?”

Yes, its annoying, but couple of things to remember, its the south, and if he’s 60, she’s the age of his kids.

Trump Jong-Il

It is an awful place though, just awful. South of Fresno, near Corcoran where the state prison is. The armpit of CA.
