I guess after the let down of this election was one thing, but it wasn't all. The radio started playing one of the saddest songs played at the memorial service of 9/11. It was "Adagio for Strings", by Samuel Barber. It brought back the same experience I had after 9/11. It was on NPR, "The Prarie Home Companion". It was very, very sad. I wonder if any other people are experiencing such sadness today, if they have other reminders like I did.

I think we all need a huge dose of that (excluding the PET people of course). I have been to Nepenthe. It was many years ago. There was a HUGE outdoor patio overlooking the ocean. A place where people could just hang out and appreciate the scenery. The food was great the views were incredible and the ambiance was unbelievable. Nepenthe. Those of us who are anti-PET are in great need of surcease from sorrow. A vicarious trip to Nepenthe and the food and dancing could help a lot. Maybe we can all imagine it. Just remembering my experience there is calming. Only temporarily of course. Tomorrow will come and nothing will have changed. But just for today? Imagining all of us (except the PET people) there celebrating life helps a lot. &n... less

They are all whiny babies wanting attention and someone to make them feel special. They want, they need, they demand, they insist, they vote. Spoiled brats. And it will get worse. How much I don't know. But since no one is willing to take the blame for their actions INCLUDING how they voted or whether they didn't even bother to vote no will learn anything from this election and it will repeat itself over and over and over! :( Aye carumba! Some people are so slow! :( less

Will they bring all 60+ bills repealing the AHCA to PET to sign or will one be enough? They will finally be doing something. How many bills will it take to reverse everything Obama has done in 8 years? Guess right and you're win a jar full of jelly beans! :(
