    Here's our quotation for today:
    image
    There is no more searching test of the human spirit than the way it behaves when fortune is adverse and it has to pass through a prolonged period of disappointing failures. Then comes the real proof of the person. Achievement, if one has the ability, is a joy; but to take hard knocks and come up smiling, to have your mainsail blown away and then rig a sheet on the bowsprit and sail on—this is perhaps the deepest test of character. -Harry Emerson Fosdick

    Miriandra. Quite a story and I'm glad you ( though a reeal pain in the petard ) hung in there so as to sequence things from the beginning. Really got what ???Betrayal said about workers not really being so much on the A-Team if the company decided that too much was being asked of it -- never mind that it was fair and according to stated standards and practises. Workers are expendable -- another one right around the corner. You even get to pay them less and if they are new give them less vacation. It can be win-win if you can pull it off.

    Glad you and your co-workers chose to put up and not shut up. Here's hoping that you will get a re-instatement.

    Why do the Reps. welcome so many with open arms that are everything a pillar of society would never be. Guess they just can't pass up a good fit.

    Seems to be neck deep in something now. I think as someone said -- now possible for the Reps. to lose the Senate twice in a row for hanging onto their their idiot non-president who can't pick much of anything -- unless its losers.

    I read today that a lot of Reps. themselves are not that terrifically keen on banning abortion. Not good for what ails them on slimy occasions.

    We restore the holiness of the world through our loving-kindness and compassion. Everyone participates. It is a collective task. Every act of loving-kindness, no matter how great or small, repairs the world. All those ever born have shared this collective work since the beginning of time.

    My DGD(24) told me there is a rumor in Texas that the GOP wants to require women to take a pregnancy test before being “allowed” to travel out of state. If that’s not true, it’s only because Texas Republicans haven’t yet thought of it yet! She is in an ASBN program at Baylor (a fairly religious school) but tells me all her classmates are appalled by the Dobbs ruling and the treatment of women’s issues in Texas.

    jkl2017. I would not feel a moment's surprise if the rumor is true. Reps. have turned themselves inside out looking for rotten inroads that they feel they have lots of permission for, from their Orange God. I also hope that there are a lot of others like your DGD and clasmates in their upset over DOBBS. The Reps are doing their level best to push us back to the dark ages almost. Not sure they ( Reps. ) have ever felt more threatened by minorites and women. I do hope it continues to be the case that far more are opposed to what they are doing than the other way around.

    Lastly, I think one of the biggest mistakes you can make is trying to push women in some quiet corner somewhere. Along the way in life as things began to take a modern turn -- so did we, and I just don't talk to anyone who wishes to EVER go back to having the head of household ( most of the time seen as the man of the family ) control everything we say and do. We knew we were equal long before most men starting hearing and understanding that message. No going back now.

    So hope you are right.

    Just something nice now because I admire this lady so much.

    I remember the morning that I first asked the meaning of the word "love. . . ." Miss Sullivan put her arm gently round me and spelled into my hand, "I love Helen." "What is love?" I asked. . . . "Love is something like the clouds that were in the sky before the sun came out," she replied. . . . "You cannot touch the clouds, you know; but you feel the rain and know how glad the flowers and the thirsty earth are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either; but you feel the sweetness that it pours into everything. Without love you would not be happy or want to play." The beautiful truth burst upon my mind--I felt that these wereinvisible lines stretched between my spirit and the spirits of others.

    Helen Keller

    Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose
    fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

    Really on board with the decriminalizing of having a bit of pot on you. I think we are helping people learn how to be criminal perhaps in some cases. I'm not thrilled about drugs and in many cases, un-prescribed and or illegal drugs bring you to a bad end, even if you don't end up in jail. I do though think the time, efforts, and other aspects of arresting these people, especialy if they get a sentence take away from monies better spent and less opportunity to teach someone how to be a criminal or a better one.

    Being used just like Trump was used. Trump got more for his 'using' though.

    Walker is clueless so keeps pouring it on and likely helping his own downfall.
