@TinyWriterLaura Nails may be a luxury, but a good hair cut is a necessity. My mom was born in 1912 and when I was a young girl she said a hairdresser had job security because people are always going to get their hair “fixed”.
06/09/1997: “She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys from a similar fate and I do this here, Diana, on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.”
Yesterday, Earl Spencer (along with The Spencers as a family) showed he was doing his best to fulfil that pledge….

An olf friend of mine in politics told me of a night decades ago when Sen. Biden was in New Orleans visiting (pre-Jill, he was dating a women from there) and they were at someone's home for a dinner party. They talked politics well into the night -- policy, foreign policy, 1/5
Never tell your daughter that when a boy is mean or rude to her it's because he has a crush on her. Don't teach her that abuse is a sign of love. Make your daughter so capable that you don't have to worry who will marry her! Instead of saving money for her wedding day, spend it well on her education and most importantly, instead of preparing her for her marriage, prepare her for herself! Teach her confidence. Teach your daughter economic independence so in the future, she can have a partner, not a master. Teach her it's not about being beautiful. Teach her to be bold. Be strong. Be real, in a world full of fake. Let's redefine beauty.
@piper4missouri The Macie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. I started thinking there was one book then found out there are 17 in the series. Fabulous books about a strong intelligent woman.
I think Democrats ruined the expectations of people by governing for two years with the slimmest of majorities in the House and no majority in the Senate, got shit done, and made it look easy. In reality, it was two years of Democrats doing the impossible everyday.
