A few small white meadow butterflies flitted by me as I just stood amongst the flowering weeds to feel the natural tranquility.

I have 2 bitchy cats. They're ok. I do enjoy quality orange juice and I'm astounded by how good it is -and less than $3 a carton. I don't hate Trump and I feel some ostracism from friends because of that. I want to return to my vegan diet because its ethical, but I'm not there yet. Sometimes I watch Lawrence Welk on youtube.

There are people who "reluctantly" voted for Trump, but have come to see the light since then.

But you "still don't hate Trump."

Trump doesn't know jackshit about international trade; Hillary had a cogent, comprehensive plan for pharma (pricing and regulation). But you looked at a screenshot and "thought" she was ill.

Fantastic.

So, to get back to your post, are you having a hard time because no one is talking to you? (Or is it something else.)
