Reading this post, puts a big smile on my face. I was hoping that you were just busy with other things in life and didn't decide to hang up this blog. I'm not on Facebook, so I don't have that connection. I enjoy blog reading, and yours is always one of my favorites.
Thank you

No, I thank you. I need encouragement. I have another reader who likes to let her hair down but by e-mail. I suspect I may be disappointing others, then I think ,well that's pretty conceited.
I know FB friends aren't as many as BF (Blog Followers )
FB is instant gratification . There's a line that pops up and says ..."what's on your mind "
I dive right in for an argument or four. It's not hard and it's in my nature.
Sometimes response is Immediate,sometimes not.
Since using iPad ,I've no way of keeping count but it doesn't matter. I' m not trying to prove anything except a thing or ten.
At the moment, three women journalists on CNN are expounding on how wrong Hillary Clinton was
when she didn't fire a campaign official for sexual harassment complaint.She did not ignore or
dismiss the complaint. The complainant was moved to a better environment, a second chance was provided to the complained of and when things didn't change he was terminated .
The full story was deliberately withheld. All three journalists, of a different generation, agreed, Mrs Clinton was out of step and needs to answer for it.
It's so characteristic of the experience of women who succeed . Credit withheld is the norm.
In politics, complaint is not an option. Nobody likes a whiner. Occupational hazards are many. Expect nothing and you won't be disappointed.
In my second to last term of office , re-elected in my eighth decade, a columnist in a local newspaper interviewed and wrote a profile on every Councillor except myself. Another, on a TV interview program,interviewed every Councillor but myself.
Nobody noticed. Except myself of course.
Media consensus male and female, is that Hillary owes the public an explanation for the decision she made.
Why?
She won the Democratic nomination, despite all the wrong-doing implied by Democrats, Bernie Sanders and others. The saintly Joe Biden did not favour her when he actively contemplated a late
bid for the job.
Hillary offered to fight for and serve in the toughest job in the world . Despite the most virulent campaign in history, she won the popular vote. Still,she did not become president.
A male lying,swindling,lecher was chosen instead to occupy the Oval Office. Complete with his nefarious entourage.
Hillary Clinton is not beholden. She maintained her dignity and composure and her side of the bargain.
She held fast to her truth in the face of nauseating prejudice such as never before displayed.
Since Winston Churchill , I have never seen nor expect to see, such strength of character in any candidate for public office.
He too was defeated in the election that followed his finest hour.
