Congressional Republicans stir up emotions on issues to take the public's attention off of other things that they are doing!

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 2 Apr 17

Like anything in life, nothing is perfect. The desire to help those in need is not only admirable, but essential in a civilized society. The problem of abuse in the welfare system could be solved by hiring more social workers...

Virginia Lee I agree absolutely and am similarly angered and frustrated. It's all obfuscation and it's maddening.

Virginia Lee Maybe that's one reason they like it here so much. I've never seen so many crows! And yes, the drizzle we're having today is doing my joints no favors today. I feel you on that. Enjoy your day!

Virginia Lee I have friends up in Alberta and I cannot imagine any of them putting away their winter togs yet. Don't be too hasty! I'm glad you have a sunny day. It's dreary and gray here with intermittent drizzle. Kind of blah, really. I'm happy to be in my cozy chair...

Virginia Lee I tend to avoid WalMart near holidays or the beginning of school. I made the bad choice of going on Dec. 23 last year and it got crazy really fast. I just found out today that the one WalMart here is pretty small and, of all things, it closes @ 9PM. How weird...

Why is Paul Ryan getting away with such a lame excuse?

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 29 Mar 17

This is an article that I found on the Internet. The author is exactly right to wonder why the press didn't challenge House Speaker Paul Ryan. The jibberish that he spewed is nonsensical! Mar 28, 2017 1:45pm EDT by Barbara...

Virginia Lee Wow. I suppose I'm weird, but it would never occur to me to record a movie in a theatre. I'm glad you got to see the end of your movie!

Virginia Lee I used to cry at commercials! It's true, that some movies are a great catalyst for releasing one's emotions. I have many movies that I watch every time I run across them because they make me happy for whatever reason. Sure, they don't make me cry, but I'd...

Virginia Lee I've done this! I still can't believe it's been over twenty years since I did. Thank goodness I inherited some mechanical and crafty acumen from my paternal grandfather and maternal grandmother! I hope you've given yourself a nice reward for a job well done.

Do you do Spring Cleaning?

snowy @snowy22315 (180769) • United States 25 Mar 17

Virginia Lee I don't enjoy it, but I'm always glad when I've done it. Frankly, I'd rather be reading or writing than cleaning.
