Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

[Murphy47]

Arg. I am angry. Actually everbody talks about the Trumps, including Melania- no don't panic, no political discussion going on. Somebody, let's call her A, assumes, that the couple is already seperated. Another female friend (let's call her B) added her thoughts.

I answered that IF that would be the case, I'd really feeld for her, as living with a partner you don't love anymore but are forced to by circumstances is really hard.

Boy, did they go after me.Beginning with " I really do not feel for her" over " that is self choosen" and so on. I am angry and frustrated at a very high level.

When on heaven sake will that stop, that catiness of women. DonÄt we have enough to fight through, do we still have to pick on another woman? Just because she is a woman? And perhaps beautiful and perhaps has enough money? Do we still have to be green with envy.. When oh when will that stop.

Do we start telling everybody that his or her fate is " self choosen"? Do we really think, that we have the right to sit on a high horse, jusging, only to make us feel better? Next time I'll tell either A or B, when they start complaining about how hard life is as a divorced woman that they "choosen it for themselves".



Sorry, had to let it out. I'll stop now. Normally I am really calm and don't care too much, but this hit a soft spot.

There is a Melania thread on the forum if you want to check out some of her clothes.
She has some neat ideas and certainly the figure to wear most anything.
I wish she would wear undergarments.
Mid 40's is just to old for that nonsense.
Certainly it's odd for her to be in NYC when ***** is in DC, but not unheard of.
The First Children usually attend one of 2 schools in DC. Those 2 have rooms for Secret Service details that accompany said children.
Neighbors, shop owners and the police are not thrilled with the situation as extra security makes gridlock in their neighborhood. Constant tourists and protesters make the situation worse.
So people are unhappy at the hassle and expense when there are excellent schools in D.C.
As to why women are so catty, I think it comes from olden times when we had to compete for the same man. I am surprised myself at how mean women are to each other in this day and age.

[millivanilli]

Yup.

The underwear-thing that is not going on.... see "pajamas"

Catty women, I need to answer later as now I pretend beeing a french cook and have to do chicken vol au vant. Daughter is at the movies with a friend, so I took the chance to cook " adult" dinner Next time I'll buy the puff pastry. So not worth the work.

That sounds soooo tasty.
While I like to cook and pretend I am Julia Childs, pastry is just too much.
Not my thing.
I say, if you can save time buying an ingredient, go for it!

 

[Murphy47]

I know, right?
Kids are bad enough, but adults?
As it's Saturday morning, I shall count for you how many kids I see in their pajamas at the grocery store/Target.
If I peak in the window I will see several little girls in slippers and a nightgown getting theirs nails done with mom.
Ugh.

 

[remainsilly]

Hmm.
Grew up reading Andy Pandy, The Wishing Chair--all sorts of stories, in which children had wonderful adventure wearing their pajamas.
Traveling through starry skies, talking to Moon Man. Eating sugar.
Even newer Doctor Who showed comfty, pajama-clad companion adventures. On alien worlds.

However, most of my brain realizes is fantasy & make-believe.
And that pajama adventures should stay indoors. Or, in my own garden.
Seeing above photos cements this idea.
---
Have been encouraging man in my life to cook "as fun." For some time now.
We are up to "preparing more than eaten immediately, to freeze for later."
Gives me on-demand veggie burritos.
Albeit with touch of freezer burn/ice crystals.
Still learning. He'll get there.

(Hug) Sometimes, I don't understand the cattiness some people have toward other people, either. It's just sad.

I don't think they're separated. I read somewhere that she said she prefer to stay in NYC raising the son while he moves into the White House.

How long do you have to wear muted colours? It sounds a bit depressing esp. when you say that the young folks love colours.



I cannot process runway shows either.

The cremation is planned to be some time in October and the officials are requested to be dressed in mourning for a year so I guess until then, the majority will be in mourning or quiet colors.

However, I think judging from clothing they're wearing now, they learn to adapt just fine.

I just start to wonder this week since next week will be a Chinese New Year if anyone of the Chinese descendant will wear any red according to the tradition. After all, red is totally not a mourning color, and black is totally not a color to bring any good luck for the year. [emoji848]

Well, the WH is a very old building with less square footage for living space than her 3 floor apartment in NYC.
No rule says she has to move, it's just customary.
Plus it costs more so we shall see who is paying and how folks react.

Um... time has changed. [emoji848]

I'll admit that I like staying in my pajamas, too. But I keep it only in the house area, like my yard. (We have high fence so no one can see me in pj at noon.) But I always change if I have to go out.
