    What’s happening in the US right now is NOT about being one party or another it’s about spreading misinformation & hate. Being human & free speech should not be a crime. By labelling people & groups it’s sowing domestic discord. Something the current administration wants.

    By labelling one group of people one thing & not another is exactly what Hitler did. That’s what’s happening in the US. It’s divisive & wrong.

    Threatening people because of their gender or beliefs is against the founding of the nation. Guns aren’t the answer just like making martyrs of hate mongers is not.

    I’m saddened by what’s happening there, when they have a felon as president. When people who don’t even have college degrees work for the government & don’t understand their job.

    No, the brain drain is happening & the consequences will be long lasting. No one wants to stay & work for a dictator.

    The states are no longer united & soon will fracture the entire nation. Is that what the land of free & the home of the brave is now?

  • Walk

    How often do you walk or run?

    I walk everyday as I live in a European city & often take public transit. Sometimes on the weekend I go hiking but it depends on how I’m feeling.

    I tend to go into my town & do errands during the week & on the weekends we tend to drive when we do our weekly shopping.

    I have a crappy knee so running is unfortunately out at the moment. But it won’t stop me from hiking in my neighborhood or on the trails.

    Even with my crappy knee I enjoy being outside & getting fresh air, I especially like fall & spring but am not too fond of hiking in warm weather. Or in the heat of the summer.

    How do you get fresh air?

  • Like & seriously

    If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

    Like because it makes you sound dumb & serious because it’s over used. Even in my native tongue, “serr” is so over used & in American English like is over used.

    Like don’t you like, like my blog. Gross. I sound like I’m from the valley in Los Angeles & I have a college degree.

    By replacing those over used words with something intelligent you sound smarter. By overusing those words your vocabulary sounds limiting & frankly you come off as stupid.

    Next time you want to use the word like try breathing & thinking about what or how you want to come across.
