All you need is love. Reset! How about, love is still kinda good?

We have a huge opossum living under our shed, actually it’s his ( or her) shed now. The ugliest creature I have ever seen! For some reason I kinda like having the company .

Kinda whiny… Some rehashed talking points, MSNBC and Fox News rely on each other as foils… One could not exist without the other. I find myself switching over to BBC…

I Enjoyed this immensely, a beautiful diversion from all the newsy non-news.

My Bible......finally! Now I can breath....being labeled a racist or homophobic in soul crushing, especially when it is soooo not who I am....but when it comes from people who know me it is extremely hurtful.....being silent about EVERY Issue doesn’t mean that we have endorsed or condemned anything! The phrase “silence is violence “ is so in your face “judg-ie”. Many people are silent because they are working! Possibly not opining because we are still processing! As a dyed in the wool liberal I feel gutted by the voices saying I am not doing enough...there is definitely a mob, and my greatest fear is that their tactics and actions are more damaging to our cause than helpful..... ok as I have said before, I will continue to fight the good fight....... not the mobs marching rules...... and YES, I know what the good fight is.

WTF. !!!

Wow! It ain’t over til it’s over… And it ain’t over!

👍 Welcome Back....

Great article… Reminds me so much of my mother… And actually my grandmother… My grandmother’s favorite line was “why can’t your mother makes Latkes like I do”. There was a simple reason for that my mother didn’t know what a latke was!

Certainly not liking this quarantine but not hating it either. It might be hard to get back to biz as usual.

I like the buy back.

My son has often said I should try Mushrooms, I think he thinks I am too normal, whatever that is.

Rules, rule of law, are a necessity and only become painful when they are directed at us. People go into a detailed scenario about getting weapons on airplanes (game or not) and the FBI then questions those people. That is not an infringement on peoples personal space, it sounds like someone is doing their job. Every time we stop at a red light it is not because we want to, its because we need to. These are trying times and some personal liberties are going to be restricted. I would like to believe that people would do the right thing without being forced to but for some that not the case. Hey, just wondering how efficient is Cuomo! Is he the only adult in the room? I'm going to keep an eye on him and hope he is the real deal but I am not trusting my intuition..... I really liked Rudy after 911 and now I think he is a buffoon.

Why is it so difficult for some people to believe scientist? This makes perfectly good sense.

A 10 rating for the candor of this writing. Wanting to help is not the same as helping. I remember the the' water wheel' I thought it was brilliant. I wish it was. I agree one of the best solutions is to make credit more available .... Not as sexy but crazy-useful to compromised societies . A great article, keep stuff like this coming!!!

14 day quarantine…… that would be really difficult.

All pretty basic stuff....
'being on time is huge'

Letting go of control is pretty difficult.

I want to meet this guy.

Meditation...... Breath and slow the heck down... Or not!
A funny and quick little gem.

I almost didn't have enough time to finish this article! Now thats sad.

`Finally..... a great article that doesn't seem to have over-political harping and blaming.... Climate change is scary but this article allows for common respectful conversation.... I imagine this makes both ultra-liberal and staunch conservative to have their collective minds explode but somewhere in the middle, excellent writing like this could take root and create a dialogue that most people can engage in.

That being said, I do love Greta and her passion. We need her voice to counteract the simplistic views of the science deniers.

The BSA reference is troubling.

Greta is the bomb! I am a huge supporter of her and her passionate communication skills.

What a strange article…Sometimes little things seem so interesting… Like for some reason they still respect the traffic laws but routinely break into peoples homes and assault and rob them.....I can imagine the people that broke into that lady’s home and knocked her teeth out obeying nonexistent Traffic laws… Really an upside down world… Very interesting to read about....Very disturbing… But I think it’s important to read about places like this…

I think that was very aptly put… That Sarah Sanders may go down in history as the first press secretary to stop having press Briefings… Also I found it interesting that they both thought Amy Klobuchar is a solid candidate and feel she could be the best Candidate to take on Trump…

I believe Trump. Words said by who?

It amazes me that healthcare is so difficult for people to figure out… It is so politicized that when you discuss it with people from other countries it’s actually embarrassing.

Mmmmmm Breeeeaaaddddd!

Very creepy, I am surprised Airbnb allows cameras in living-rooms. I have rented Airbnb and never thought about the privacy issue. Why is audio monitoring needed? I can understand the reason for video monitoring certain non personal areas but what's up with monitoring the audio? I feel even more violated thinking people are listening to my personal conversations. This needs to be aggressively addressed by Airbnb or they will suffer greatly. After reading this article I would be very hesitant to rent from Airbnb.

JEEEESH!

Pretty disturbing article… It’s hard to believe this stuff happens as regularly as it does but it must be Called out when it does happen

These articles are generational...... work could be fun and enlightening but unfortunately it’s usually just work .....I feel we as a society are looking to spiritualize every aspect of life ..... great if possible but let’s value the working stiffs and the value of work as work.

Dolan had some good points. There is however a boushie feel to this piece, an arrogance that at times made me feel uncomfortable. Optimum happiness comes with working 21 to 30 hours a week, that seems easy enough. This elitest type of group thought is disturbing, what percentage of the work force actually can decide they only want to work 21 to 30 hours a week. Possibly volunteers or artists or the academics but not the general employed population. Dolans path to happiness is just not available to most. The portion on marriage again felt like he was poking his finger at the masses and it didn't feel attached to reality. OH and his white glasses are silly and screaming " Look at me, I am not you!"

Fact check on Trump...... Think about that.

Wow..... and I actually felt sorry for Robert! Tamara is also a creep.

This was a detailed and disturbing article with many different angles . I was both disturbed and at times touched by the need many of us have for human connection. "Is it possible to have unconditional love without paying for it?" ?

To respond to Joanne's assertion that 'we are constantly being fed lies from the press' is inaccurate and dangerous. It continues the narrative of 'Fake News'. I do not believe the press is feeding us constant lies, unfortunetaly there is a more slanted view of certain story lines and there is agenda based reporting. For example, the Caravan. Horrible news coverage solely intended to drum up votes prior to the midterms. But referring to these news reports as lies undermines the confidence in all the free press. As partisan and gross as it seems, these politically motivated talking points should not be classified as lies.
