Where do I put this fear and sadness.

Really I don't know.  Just don't know. I'm Jewish.  My daughter, brother-in-law, two nieces, many of my cousins and extended family are people of color. Where is this madness going? Where will it end? I've been listening to music songs which make me cry. Why you ask?  Because I need it as a cathartic release. Crying my eyes out right now to

It's overwhelming right now.

I am so angry. SO ANGRY.

Last night "protestors" pulled down a confederate statue here and even though we are this little progressive haven in the midst of all this red hate, all the crazies have come out today.

I wish I had words of wisdom. I'm sorry.

This has definitely been one of the worst days since 11/9.

All of this is disheartening,  sad, scary, embarrassing, horrifying......  so many sleepless nights.  I feel like my shirts should say " I'm not a trump loving racist asshole, and you?".  I don't know where to put it either.  I'm having a hard time in personal family matters the last two years.  Under President Obama, I didn't have this extra backwards racist running my beautiful country into the depths of a hell I don't believe in thing though.  With 45?  I have so much worry and fear for my fellow humans as well as everyday personal worries.  Like we all do.

Idk.  I'm rambling.  And it truly is 45's fault.  FN nazi love, really???!!!

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though. 

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy. 

      Shalom posted an Instragram story: "Microbiom[e] plays a role in healing from cancer"

      @Columbia, thanks for digging up that account! I remember that depressing saga as if it had happened yesterday. IMO, Bradrick! has many, many miles to go before he's able to redeem himself.

      Today she is in cargo type pants that are form fitting with her shirt tucked in. She doesn’t look obviously pregnant.

      Kelly was supposed to be the shining example of how stay-at-home-daughterhood was the perfect prescription for a young woman to seamlessly move into courtship, marriage and motherhood. She spoke at one of the VF Father-Daughter Retreats, she wrote articles for Vision Forum, the magazine carried a book she wrote about her grandfather in WW2, she had a big section in Return of the Daughters (starts around 26:60.) Their wedding was a huge event, and Doug Phillips made a big deal out of seeing their first kiss at the altar (I believe this indescribably weird photo came from that wedding.) I've always thought this was a good overview of her life within Vision Forum.

      I don't think so. They ran their own little "family ministry" on the side and frequented the conference circuit. One of the daughters also wrote occasionally for Vision Forum.

      Isn’t the infamous Wide Stance photo from this wedding, too? That one still makes me laugh til I can’t breathe!
