    Wildcat, I wish you the very best. I do hope you find that girlfriend that gets you and you can confide in. It really is important for a woman to have close relationships with other women.

    I will need to make a primer for my son for voting. He is busy with school and does want to know the issues. He is conservative but his own thinker but still young enough to be mis-informed. He is like me, very careful, but not that confident yet.

    I have been stewing for days and now I feel like I have body aches and a fever. October is my favorite month but I also just filed my taxes and we are catching up but still behind, so it’s time to pay the piper finally for 2017. So I’m STRESSED. It’s doable, over a few months. Color me excited that with an identical return next April I will have to fork over $4,400 LESS. MAGA. And just so you know, SCOTUS picks was the main reason I voted for Trump.

    Anyways, I’ve been also bothered by not having many girly friends who understand how I think and that I can talk to without losing their friendship. There’s one I tried to talk to Tuesday, and after I explained myself further and further (and she DID try to listen, but didn’t “get” me), I felt very exhausted and, I don’t know, freakish. Like I didn’t fit in.

    I just don’t have any IRL friends I can really talk to, and that makes me sad. I’m also stressed on top of all that because two weeks ago husband and I had a pretty bad personal thing happen (his VERY SCARY mistake); super personal growth opportunity for him, but I couldn’t talk to anyone about it. He and I DID finally talk about it, but barely, and I’m satisfied with his conversation with me but... I’m holding on to a lot.

    If I didn’t have this thread to talk about the hearings with you guys, it would have been so much harder. But even so, it’s still hard with all my stress lately. There’s even more stuff I haven’t referenced. Nothing earth shattering but OMG it builds up.

    I’m glad you guys are my friends. Thanks for being here through this thing.
    I liked your post, but I don't like what you're describing...
    Only because it sounds very familiar... when we moved to Texas, it's been difficult to meet with people IRL that we really identify with.

    It's been the hardest part of moving here...

    Let us know if we can put y'all in touch witb IRL people that are local... from what I've read, there are lots of people that would be honored to know you and your family.

    At least take comfort that I know my wife would get along witb you personally... and I should know, we've been best friends for >28 years.

    Take care...

    Yeah, but be ever vigilant my friend. 28 years don't mean squat, except it hurts more when it's over. Remember to treat her as the queen she is, nobody else wants your ass, and you are one lucky SOB.

    Meanwhile , you are a lucky SOB, congratulations , and here's hoping for another 1/4 century or so.

    I was with my ex for over a 1/4 century as well, we are still best friends. While I can't quite agree with her reasons, I respect and understand her descion to leave.

    It's a sad day when you loose friends over politics. That's a reflection on them and not you. I've always found it interesting how they talk a good talk about diversity and inclusiveness yet they don't apply that same standard when it comes to people with different political or social views. With Liberals, its do as I say and not as I do. But you already know that. One of the main reasons why I left the Democrat Party years ago and never looked back or regretted doing so.

    When we come together, not as Democrats or Republicans , but as Texans.....IDK, some horseshit coming out from the other end of the horse's latest TV ads, loosely quoted.

    I'm Beto the Dork, and I approve any lie that might get me elected.

    I haven’t actually lost friends, however I just don’t “go there.” The one friend I did try to talk in a roundabout way was all like “why are you stressing over innocent until guilty NOW. It doesn’t even affect you?” She doesn’t want to know anything about the culture or politics. I was like “because if I wait until it DOES personally affect me then it’s too late.” The more I explained myself the worse I felt because it wasn’t working.

    I have an out of state millennial friend I text and I can tell she doesn’t appreciate my views on some stuff. I am pretty sensitive and I’m all excited happy for her about when she tells me goofy stuff she likes like she found that Target stocks so much “nerdy” themed underwear/pjs. if I tell her or show her about like a picture of really good target I shot or about how much money the tax cut will save me she’s all cool with a “hmmmmm.” Or “not bad.”
    It pisses me off.

    I do have a best friend in my husband, but he’s not gonna understand when I’m all emotional or be able to talk well if it’s about him or us. It’s the best I’ve got though and it’s a whole lot. I just miss having an ideal best friend that “gets” me that probably would never exist.

    I just now snapped that maybe that’s a spiritual need I need to try to seek to fill. That I can do.

    Also the body aches and soreness have also been the precursor to digestive tells that my health is off. I just have too much going on and I’m probably crashing. Have to take the dog to Houston for her first heartworm treatment Tuesday and then drive to Austin Wednesday for a two day work training. Thank God the training actually is held in the hotel I’ll be staying at.

    I get where you are coming from. Your spouse isn't going to fill a void. My wife is pretty emotionally "unaware" how OPMD and cancer affects me. I have been married to her going on 19 years. You think she was going through the stages of her own grief: denial, anger, bargaining, and acceptance. Doesn't leave me much room to deal with my own potential mortality. But, that is the way some people work. If I married someone just like me, it would be a PITA. People who don't have other health issues usually live 10-15 years.

    I’m curious how they think they can impeach a SCOTUS justice who hasn’t even done anything from his new position?
    Does not Impeach mean infractions committed while
    In office?

    It's not as if they allow facts or actual law to stand in their way. There was a push to impeach Trump before he was even inaugurated.
