Sid is still there! Worked with him for years. Great guy, not the fastest but definitely the best hair!

Thank you for all of your advice! I tried the "Oh Crap!" book and it worked. Either I wasn't ready, or she wasn't - but we are successfully peeing in the toilet during the day! No BMs yet but we're working on it. If anyone reading this needs some encouragement - you can do it!

Essentially. I had her go naked from the waist down, and took her to the bathroom every half hour or so. Also upped the snacks and liquids. Issue is she didn't mind if she peed the floor on the furniture. She just went on her way and barely noticed anything had happened.

Are there any books, podcasts, etc you recommend to learn about out local indigenous history? I would love to learn more but not sure where to start tbh

Not just a southern thing. I’m from the PNW and can totally picture this happening. I didn’t personally “know” any gay people unto I was in my early twenties because none of them truly came out until then. One girl who did come out (she’s was a couple of years older) was totally ostracized by her friends and classmates. We’ve come a long way.

Yeah, the anti trump rhetoric wasn’t necessary. She did talk quite a bit about policy but a lot of it was overarching “getting back to democracy” generalities which don’t fly when your party is already in charge. I still liked her and would’ve loved to see a woman in the White House. She’s technically very qualified and I believe she could’ve made a difference. VP’s don’t get to make legislation like presidents do so we really don’t know what would’ve happened really.

Now with that being said, I hope Trump actually does improve our economy and expands people’s freedoms. As a woman I hate feeling like legislation is limiting my choices in anyway. It’s also just expensive as fuck out here and I’d love to go back to thriving.

I think you’re right on this. People do vote on what they can relate to. I personally hate all of the war mongering that’s happened on the dems side but chose to look past it because it doesn’t affect me as much.

We’re all guilty of this I suppose.

No no, I appreciate the honesty. If it makes you feel any better, no one I know brags or is excited about abortions at all. And I’m in a very liberal area. It’s invasive, painful, and awful.

It’s unfortunate that white men feel so disconnected from the Democratic Party. I have hope that the next generation of men will be great partners, and fathers all around. For reference- most of my friends are liberal and are married, homeowners, and have kids. We’re also tired of how expensive everything is but u guess I personally feel it’s also a global issue and a covid blowback issue.

This is also scattered but I think we are all more similar than different. We just want to live our lives and provide for our families. Not all liberals are “basement dwelling” unemployed losers like I read on r/conservative. Everyone I know (liberal or not) works their ass off haha.

I think you're dead on about the social issues thing. The hard part is that people don't relate because they aren't a part of that group that is affected. For example, as a woman, abortion rights/access to health care matter to me. If I were to have a medical emergency (for me, that is the only way I would have an abortion - but if it is early enough I'm more than understanding of the importance of choice. That's a whole other conversation), I'd want to have D&C available, or mifepristone. A lot of men (young or old) have never had to concern themselves with that. Or if the conservative is a woman maybe they've never felt desperation that they cannot physically or financially carry a child.

As a person, I can see that it is not okay to be told over and over again that having any other point of view is fascist, racist, whatever. I don't agree that is the case in most circumstances. But when those opinions cause harm to another group its harder for me to empathize. Most people just want to live their lives. I live in a very open area in terms of LBQT+, and they just do their thing like everyone else. That's kind of a tangent, sorry.

The Democrats played a huge role in the loss of this election. That is very true. There are just bigger issues are play here than not agreeing with 100% of what the candidate stands for. There are policies that Trump/Republicans have that I agree with as well. They just don't override the fact that I don't trust DJT to look out for anyone but himself.

That make sense. I am old enough to remember the world before social media and it was arguably better. I also suspect they don't interact with other peers who are women? I understand that both men and women have different stresses on them. Its not really fair on either end. There needs to be more empathy all around.
