You made my daughter’s evening with your confirmation of his genuine sweetness.

I unfollowed the crazier family and friends. It has helped my sanity.

I actually snorted with laughter to the point I started choking and gasping for air when I read your comment.

And it has only been six days. I’m exhausted by the level of outrage on a daily basis.

Please share? Uh. Asking for a friend?

I also really loved People of Earth, but that is TBS. I reluctantly watched it because my husband wanted to give it a chance and it ended up being a show we tried to watch as soon after air time as possible.

Hugs.

That is so nice to hear.

I remember him vividly because he was such a calm, soothing presence.

Twelve, because he is not going to put himself in front of the press any more than absolutely necessary.

Me too.

No, I loved it too. I thought both Michelle Obama and Melania looked fantastic.

Yup. And I had to work for him. And know that they ultimately doubled his salary.

Nice. After posting earlier, I read the blog and was pleased to see that they were acknowledging a lot of scouts would be at the Women’s March. The GSUSA tends to walk a fine line to try to remain accessable to all girls and the far right in this country still raises a stink about some of the program materials.

I am so sorry you experienced that. Scouts has been a safe spot for my daughter, though she has seen other girls bullied at camp.

Well they support transgender girls in troops, so you are wrong about complete conformity to tradition.

I thought we weren’t allowed to use GS to support a political cause. I am planning to attend the march with my daughter, but we’re leaving our GS stuff at home.

In all of the materials it also clearly explains that Girl Scouts USA leaves what that means up to the individual girl to determines and there are no official badges requiring a proof of service to God.

Agreed. The kids and I are home tomorrow and there will be a lot of discussion and activities regarding Civil Rights and Martin Luther King Jr.

I saw the picture of POTUS and FLOTUS standing and looking at the skyline across the water and I thought, “nope. It will be a great speech, but I don’t want to cry for the rest of the evening. I’m returning to the Denial stage immediately.”
