Hat tip to Dorothy Parker who used to answer her door with that phrase.
I have a feeling I'll be using it often.
I have no words of wisdom.
I question whether such exist.
I blame the lead paint.
How to deal in hell:
watch the puppies
listen to the puppies
emulate the puppies
they got it goin' on

~A toe is just a toe
And yes problems. it gives me the bad request page. Okay trying the sequence of thigs I did last time...
Still not posting error! error!
And again...
Still not happening
Well it finally posted. But I don't know why. I allowed the 'google analytics' and I didn't preview it. But really I'm not sure those had any effect. I'll try to figure it out later. I'm pissed at it right now.

Trying to comment. Thanks, Deni. We will get through this- we have to hang on to what we know to be true and good.
And not let anyone take that away!
Ah, ladies, we shall take comfort from accomplishment where we find it!!

Keep the faith, keep moving forward!!!!

We had our first freeze last night. I think we had our first freeze. I'm not really sure of anything these days. The local news kept saying 'It's going to get down to 19 degrees'! My neighborhood weather station predicted 29 degrees. I kept running back and forth from the TV to the computer, trying to figure out which of these wildly divergent predictions was correct. Every event feels like it follows the path of the election. Nobody knows what the fuck is going on.
My old friend in San Francisco, (who has made great things of her life as a lawyer and author, while I have done absolutely nothing)called the election "the mass murder at the polls" by "these fuckin 1st degree monster assholes". She's using meditation like vitamins. I may have to go so far as to attempt meditation again.
Meditation scares me. I feel completely defenseless while meditating. Yes, my Fab friends, I am just that weird. Everybody else would be sitting around in a circle meditating their little brains out. I would be like, "Oh hell no! Danger! Danger!"
I've decided writing a few things I'm grateful for each morning will improve my state of mind. And I'm going to start doing that. Any day now. Unfortunately when I try, I just want to smash the pen into the paper over and over again. I guess that means my anger is breaking the surface.
I'm too old for this shit.

okay I meant that to be amusing. But it came off rather dark and depressing didn't it? I'll have to work on my humor. I'll go find an actual joke and post it. Or something uplifting. Like a hurricane.

Went with uplifting!
This story led me to many other stories. But this one is a good place to start. I'll post a bit and refer you back to the original story as posted in Upworthy
A first-person account of the cultural renaissance happening at Standing Rock.
This story is from Tony Sorci, a member of the Navajo nation...
Every morning at 10 o'clock, I walk into the water and say my prayers....
Our grandmas are out there praying for clean water, and the government is mistreating them.
There's a psychological war going on in Standing Rock: Just across the water, a couple hundred yards away, there are DAPLs (the term water protectors use for the private security and heavy machinery crews hired by the pipeline company) armed to the gills with itchy fingers waiting for some action. ...
The organizers of the protest gather in the mornings at the the Big Camp and divide tasks, figuring out what will be the most beneficial. Many of us drink coffee around the fire in the morning with our gas masks already on, ready to go.
It's a wonderful read with pictures. Even though I have nothing to do with all this
it made me feel differently, hopeful, proud.
