What an amazing young woman! I’m so glad my twelve year old niece was there to hear her speak in person. My sister is a fantastic mom. I’d like to believe my niece will have that kind of courage and conviction when she gets older. I just pray it doesn’t have to ever come under the same circumstances again.

Exactly! My best friend went through a nasty divorce. But, just a few months after they separated, she was dating a new guy. She’s now dating an emotionally-abusive-when-he’s-drunk asshole but she’s so afraid to be alone.

I had never claimed to have any Native American heritage, although it has been talked about in family history. I do descend from the Melungeon people. I did the AncestryDNA test. It showed a large percentage of Native American ancestry. I didn’t know this, but it makes sense because the Melungeon community was made up…

I’ve known that I come from the Melungeon people from family genealogy dating back to the 1700s. I only knew of my white and black ancestry from there. I did an AncestryDNA test and found a great deal of Native American ancestry. I had no idea, though it had been whispered about. I can only imagine it came from…

Yes. My friend’s dog is extremely calm and focused while she is working. She’s also a sweet dog who loves to play and sleep on the bed at night.

One of my best friends has a service dog. He’s deaf. The dog goes everywhere with him...within reason. He doesn’t bring her out to nice dinners. The dog doesn’t go to the movies or clubs. She’s more for day to day things around the house and to help him navigate while walking.

My grandma’s “day” was the 1930s into the 40s in Appalachia. It was different food from the 50s. In her later years, she did switch to more mixes. But, her food was mostly homemade.

I’m always saying in a slightly high-pitched way, “ Oh, friend!”

Tom “Fake Butt” Cruise?

I’m enjoying it, too. I believe there are only ten episodes. I’m gonna stick around that long. I love Jerrika Hinton’s performance.

I have friends from high school that got married our senior year after their daughter was born. That was in 1989 and they’re still going strong. I guess it can be done.

My idiot friend named his son Atlee Bay. Atlee was born before the famous? one. Jumpin’ Jesus on a pogo stick!

Back then, it was all about who you knew. The company’s two owners either had to know you personally or you had to be recommended by a good source. I was offered the job, but I had a serious boyfriend at the time. I didn’t want to be gone so much.

I used to work in logistics arranging door-to-door service of practically anything. We had several couriers on staff that do just this type of thing. They need to dress nicely, be totally professional and enjoy travel. Yes, many times I arranged private flights because whatever they were transporting needed to be…

My 15 year old niece was adopted from China. My brother goes to China several times a year for business. It seems some wealthy people seem to adopt from whatever country is popular. They aren’t always the best parents. I have zero idea about what type of parent Meg Ryan is.

Yes, they’ll probably pick up non-accented English from watching kids’ tv. My BIL will speak English but will have a few, different Scottish words for things. I guess they’ll be fine. Thanks for the reply!

I remember Rain was on a sitcom in the 80s with the guy from WKRP. What has shebeen doing since?

I always wonder why little Daisy isn’t in school. I hope she isn’t just a decoration for Meg.

I’m gonna guess President Stormi Jenner is going to be a little bit above her raising. We have to remember Uncle Kanye and the rest of the family. It’s not looking good for that poor baby. But, I’ll bet she has much nicer purses than me by the time she’s six months old.

My SIL is a dual citizen of Switzerland and Germany, but lives in the States with her husband (my Scottish husband’s brother). She is pregnant with twins. She plans on speaking mostly German to them and sending them to a local German school (they live in DC). Do you think that is a good thing or will they feel…
