clrumfelt Congress should do its job and keep the government open. All that needs to happen is for John Thune to suspend the filibuster so they can pass a sensible budget.

celticeagle @celticeagle (185120) • Boise, Idaho 26 Jan

Victorian society told women that their value as human beings was tied directly to their appearance. That a beautiful woman could marry well and secure her future. That an unattractive woman was doomed to spinsterhood, poverty,...

clrumfelt Women in general didn't get much respect in the Victorian era. Beauty products were manufactured with almost no oversight and could contain all sorts of dangerous ingredients. Arsenic was a cheap ingredient that could be found in almost anything including...

Let’s Do the Fandango

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (93945) • Daytona Beach, Florida 26 Jan

While still living in Latvia and having no idea how my life would be uprooted, I would say that if I ever got back to my hometown, NYC, I would do the fandango down Broadway. At that time, I had no idea this even was a dance. The...

clrumfelt I thought fandango was just a video streaming service. Didn't know it was a dance. I had to look up a few YouTubes to see it. There are a few different versions. Did you make it home to NYC? Did you dance down Broadway?

clrumfelt I can tell you put in effort to make those coasters. They look professional. My hobby is doing crochet. I make stuffed animals for my granddaughters and the neighbour kids. They love them. Here are a few bears I haven't found homes for yet.

clrumfelt It's 16 degrees where I live in TN. It's exceptionally cold weather from what we usually have. There is a lot of snow and ice around, but today is sunny so I suspect we will be back in the green by the end of the week (hopefully).

Snowfall is winding down now.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54479) 25 Jan

Winter brings snow here, so of course I am used to it. This was an intense storm. We were not supposed to get what we did for snow totals--some say we got 8 inches, some 9 inches, some 10. I did the yardstick thing off the front...

clrumfelt We got about 3 inches, but that's a big snow for where I live in TN. I'm so thankful we haven't lost power because a lot of areas near here did. We got just enough freezing rain to make the trees pretty. The sun is shining today and the frozen world looks...

Ignoring her

Benz @Mulena (19) 3 Jul

It’s only teaches her how to leave without you. Men thinks she’s suffering, but she’s actually adjusting. When her PEACE starts feeling better than your presence.. it’s over.

clrumfelt It's difficult to know the boundaries when someone is struggling through a period of adjustment. Just knowing you are there for her will help her be able to keep trying until she finds peace.
