I try to avoid doctors as much as possible, too.

They only look slim compared to the rest...@Radostin<br />They only look slim compared to the rest of my body ;)<br /><br />@Bibi<br />We have a lot of Scandinavians here, but they're so many generations out that they've become ultra conservatives just like everyone else. From what I could tell, the Bernie vote was largely young people, and some old-school lefties. <br /><br />Our democrats are on the conservative side here-sometimes the republican is the less conservative candidate (which is why I've always voted a non-partisan ballot). My parents were political opposites, so I grew up exposed to all sorts of ideology. <br /><br />@Mim<br />I really do wonder what the story behind that statue is! Someone took the time to paint it...why?! None of my neighbours have commented on it yet (though they do scurry away quickly whilst averting their gaze). <br /><br />@Vix<br />Maybe someday when I finally face reality, and admit it is so tight wearing it is like having my breasts bound! <br /><br />@Veronica<br />The Mexican tourist items are exactly that-things Mexican artists created for the American tourists that had money to spend. During WWII it was impossible to travel to Europe, so many Americans went to Mexico instead. Many of the felt appliqued jackets and hand-painted circle skirts date from that time. I adore everything about Mexico, and finding these skirts and jackets is always a bit of a thrill. We are fortunate to have a thriving Mexican community here in Omaha with wonderful people, shops, museums, and the most incredible places to eat. <br /><br />Funny you ask-the fruit gums are less exciting to me-I have no idea why! I used to like Wine Gums, but I haven't seen those for sale in a million years. <br /><br />Thank you for your kind words about Danny. He's interested in Civics, and the study of government. Kids are paying better attention these days because they know how badly messed-up things are. At his age, I was still reading comic books, not thinking about the world I'd inherit. <br /><br />@Beth<br />Ooooh, that new computer looks so good on you! <br />They worry about his health. Good grief. I think Bernie could beat most of us in a race around the block, with plenty of time to spare. I thought 75 is the new thirty or something. <br /><br />Good to have you back. I missed you.

I'm back online with a nifty new computer set-up, eager to view the blogs in HD and glorious color, and here I espy a Miro-does-Mexico skirt I'd wear under a black leotard to shop at Aldi's, a couple covetable vintage bags, a Hermes scarf -- and what appears to be a really staunch character, carrying on. Atta girl!<br /><br />I'm getting a kick out of my young co-workers' reaction to Bernie. They "get" his message, but they worry about his health. No kidding.Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-71844372148956186562016-03-07T11:43:21.719-08:002016-03-07T11:43:21.719-08:00Goody
If you've gained 10 pounds you still lo...<br />Goody<br /><br />If you've gained 10 pounds you still look svelte and your ankles in the orangey shoes look positively skinny! Fabulous matching bag as well. Hope all the swelling subsides soon. <br /><br />I love your skirt - why is it called a Mexican tourist skirt? In fact all the outfits are lovely and I just adored the elephant Talbots' jacket - so elegant. Love the Hermes scarf, too. I've found a Liberty cardboard container but no scarf, yet.<br /><br />Guess what - I keep my socks in a bag too! Mine is an old Accessorize bag; floral with sequins. I use it as I don't have enough drawer space. I keep belts in a basket, gloves in a Pannetone tin and old pashmina type scarves in a wicker picnic hamper. If I hadn't turned my tiny box bedroom into a study a few years ago, I'd like to turn into a dressing room where I can keep all my stuff in the same place and together. However, if I have to choose, book storage is more important!<br /><br />That paska/bread looks so delicious and I could almost smell the orange and lemon through the screen. Dribbling over the Chromebook is not a good idea.<br /><br />Do you like fruit gums as well as fruit pastilles?<br /><br />A fun filled caucus? Clearly the impossible can be possible! Danny sounds like such a nice, decent, concerned boy. Giving up his time to ring round potential voters - there are very few kids of his age I know or knew when I taught in a further ed college who would even be interested in elections.<br /><br />Have a lovely week<br /><br />Veronica<br />vronni60s.blogspot.com<br /><br />Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-16147032387272887782016-03-07T11:22:05.763-08:002016-03-07T11:22:05.763-08:00I adore that Mexi skirt but am hating the sound th...I adore that Mexi skirt but am hating the sound the side effects from your meds - that's just miserable!<br />If you ever want to sell that Afghani frock I'm your woman, its my dream dress - I have a Liberty London scarf to tempt you with.<br />xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-63710922625886543012016-03-07T01:43:12.096-08:002016-03-07T01:43:12.096-08:00Chicken child is genuinely terrifying.
Your swell...Chicken child is genuinely terrifying.<br /><br />Your swelling sounds so bad and painful. It must really get you down. I do hope you're through the worst of it now.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-2686303862874266672016-03-06T23:26:32.199-08:002016-03-06T23:26:32.199-08:00Wow! A caucus that was fun? Amazing.
It's been...Wow! A caucus that was fun? Amazing.<br />It's been interesting over the years to watch my family split politically (& the nation for that matter).<br />My mom's Mennonite family were all farmers & therefore staunch Democrats.<br />My dad's family from Louisiana were all staunch Democrats in the following of Huey Long.<br />The split came with Reagan, now they're either angry Republicans being of the very ugly " I got mine, you get yours" notion or flaming liberal Lefties like myself.<br />I always wondered with Nebraska having such a large Scandinavian citizenry & being largely agricultural if they would lean "Bernie."<br /><br />Love that Talbot's jacket with the elephant and floral motifs. <br />Your ankles don't look that bad. Although I have tiny ankles too that don't look terribly swollen even when they are. <br />Mmmm, paska, like a citrusy brioche!<br /><br />http://calmlycookingcurry.blogspot.com/2016/03/himalayan-hailstorm.html<br /><br />Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-72482778578419123482016-03-06T22:21:55.045-08:002016-03-06T22:21:55.045-08:00I must say that your ankles are most impressively ...I must say that your ankles are most impressively trim - before one knows they are swollen! I absolutely agree with you on the wisdom of wearing lovely things when feeling below par.
