My Mom had such large feet she said all she could find when she was a girl were "old lady shoes", plus was considered taller than most other girls, too. When she was younger had worn shoes too small and developed bunions.

We need to be careful about using all our energy in protest marches and having nothing left for the rest of the journey. My hope is that some new and creative ways to keep the pressure on for the long term came out of that first march. There are ways other than marches to make concerns known. Marches lose their power pretty quickly.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-73949141126458178462017-03-09T08:42:06.764-08:002017-03-09T08:42:06.764-08:00My fear is that streets full of angry women protes...My fear is that streets full of angry women protesting too often may not be the hammer that gets the attention of those that need to hear the message. There's been a time limit on protests about Obamacare, the current Muslim ban etc. protests are effective in those situations. A lot of energy forms and is released around such issues and then we move on. Women's rights is long term. The first women's march was powerful. Those that follow will be less powerful as they become the norm and people turn a deaf ear. We need to use peaceful protests wisely.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-72356324380665370782017-03-09T08:30:54.868-08:002017-03-09T08:30:54.868-08:00I'm a big believer in the power of peaceful pr...I'm a big believer in the power of peaceful protests in a democracy. I've loved seeing all the energy in the country right now. My concern is peaceful protests will lose their power if used too often and not responsibly. They become the norm when that happens, and their effectiveness loses it's power. The first women's march was powerful, those following, less and less. I want to see peaceful protests continue but they're only effective if they produce positive results. We've seen many organizations benefit or be form from the marches up to now. Let's don't water down their effectiveness.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-24270725479820266712017-03-09T08:23:05.675-08:002017-03-09T08:23:05.675-08:00I hope OH cleans up after his cooking.

Some people do seem to need to be hit over the head to grasp an idea.<br /><br />I used to do the newspaper crossword every day. Now I get the paper online and that habit has been broken. I do buy a sudoko book once in while though. The puzzles are addicting to me once I get started.<br />Many if not most of the older men I have ever known have asked about upcoming meals. I always thought of it as a self-comforting behavior and somewhat endearing.

I always feel like I'm a few years behind the fashion curve. <br /><br />As far as the protests, I think they make a good point. In spite of the call for women to not show up at work, I can't imagine they expect every woman (doctors, nurses, police, teachers etc) to not show up. Lives would literally be lost without women at work! I'm sympathetic to the statement they are making.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237805282007404140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-8737664740232182842017-03-08T20:35:38.246-08:002017-03-08T20:35:38.246-08:00He's very slow but he manages to do some helpf...He's very slow but he manages to do some helpful things around here. He's in charge of trash and takes that job very seriously. He's always loved doing laundry and still does his own clothes. I can't decide if cooking is a blessing or a curse but it's here to stay as long as he can make it to the kitchen.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-42513781256852249382017-03-08T20:31:47.636-08:002017-03-08T20:31:47.636-08:00Bob spends way too much time living in the past fo...Bob spends way too much time living in the past for my taste but that's pretty common among old people. He just about drives me nuts with his food obsession but I try to be patient with him about it.

Your description of poking the bear could not be more accurate. I might starve to death if I lived alone. Susan is coming tomorrow. We're celebrating Caleb's birthday on Sunday. Bob insisted on going to the store today to buy little things for the meal so he wouldn't have so much to think about when we go to buy the big items. We're having hamburgers. Today he bought lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Why would you buy tomatoes and lettuce on Wednesday for a meal on Sunday? He didn't buy buns or meat. I suppose those are the big items.<br /><br />I've about decided it's going to be nothing but chaos and madness for the next four years. I just hope we can hang onto as many human rights as possible. It's beyond me what's going on in the mind of Paul Ryan. When all this legislation doesn't go through like Trump wants we'll have to put up with him releasing wrath all over Twitter. I figure he's wining and dining Ted Cruz and his wife tonight to seal the deal for Cruz to approve his healthcare bill. Good luck with that!<br /><br />I think women need to be selective now in how they make their presence known. They're beginning to annoy me and I support women's issues. Angry women don't wear well.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-90954256209345407122017-03-08T20:03:47.883-08:002017-03-08T20:03:47.883-08:00Interesting that left to my own I also eat tortill...Interesting that left to my own I also eat tortilla chips and salsa.
