Anyone here who can give me some input on watches for runners? I’m hoping to buy my 12 yo granddaughter a watch to encourage her love of cross country. What do you love and why? #crosscountry #teengirl

Q: Is the #NHHouse chambers air conditioning strong enough to keep 400 reps comfortable (and safe, considering the ages of many) on #VetoDay August 19th? #NHPolitics

Here's how I know Dems still don't appreciate the situation America is in and what MAGAs are capable of: the Governor of Kentucky should weeks ago have marched to the place Mitch McConnell's staff says he's in and then—if he didn't find him there—appointed a Democrat to his seat.

It’s moments like this that make me miss #SouthCarolina native, Stephen Colbert even more. #LindseyGraham

Remembering my Bicentennial “could have gone a different way” story on this July 4th… Happy #250th! My family has heard this story too many times so I share it here with you unsuspecting readers. My mom was a typical 1950’s housewife who was trapped in the times and yearning for more. In 1976 she

are going to let him go.” The whole experience lasted maybe 8 seconds. It’s been a much recounted, silly story about how my mother nearly got me killed in NYC. But lately I wonder if she saw the gun and was planning to shield us. I wish I had asked. Thinking of you on the #Semiquincentennial, Mom! ❤️

we were in a huge crowd at Battery Point on 7/4/76. Mom, my sister, and I were in a line to go…?? somewhere. To the left of us was a brick wall. To the right - a line heading in the opposite direction. Both lines were barely moving. It was insanely hot and crowded. A man with a child maybe (six

years old) pulls out a pistol and starts aggressively pushing his way out while dragging his daughter along. Mom did not see the pistol (I think) but I could see her preparing to intervene as the man got closer. I grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her against the wall. “He has a gun, Mom. We

managed the strength and presence to find a job, get her license and go to court to retain possession of the house and bank accounts. I watched in awe. She lived 25 more years, never remarried and had many adventures. As for myself, I got married, had two children, divorced 17 years later and

moved on. Mom’s lessons stuck with me, though. I suppose they always will. I’m 68 and still paying in full each month the balance of the credit card I’ve had since 1978 (ty RBG). Got to keep that credit rating high…. just in case. Oh!! I didn’t even tell you the story I set out to… so, there

My father was deaf and not comfortable in social settings. Here he was the VP of the regional electric company and a veritable hermit. So the fact they were out to lunch was huge! I wish I could say this story has a fairy tale ending with them traveling the world together seeing amazing sights with

no further need for paperbacks or pills. I wish. But on December 17, 1979, my father was found dead of a heart attack at his desk on the 14th floor of the Hampshire Plaza. The bank accounts, mortgage and car were all in his name. He had no will. He was 52. Mom was 50. Dark times. She somehow

into a travel agency. She probably stated in a roundabout way her “yearning to be free” and the poster of pink houses, aqua blue water and soft pink sand caught her eye. And off we went to paradise. More changes in Mom. She seemed more at peace, happier, less desperate. A year later, she and

Dad met me for lunch which was a complete surprise. I was working my first real job after graduating college. They never went out. Ever. Never took vacations away. And here they were meeting their daughter for lunch. It left a big impression on me. I can still tell you where and what we ate.

district sparked my imagination. I suspect getting her daughters out of NH to have new experiences was at least in part, if not, wholly my mother’s plan. I know she felt trapped. The constant flow of romance novels and her bottle of Valium were her crutches and dearest companions. When we got

home, the memories waned but something had changed in her - and in me. Two years later she and I headed to Bermuda. 4 days/3 nights, flight, hotel, 2 meals and afternoon tea: $299. How she found this deal I’ll never know. I imagine she hopped on a bus to downtown (she did not drive) and walked

of Manchester, NH. I was dazzled. My mom had made no further plans than to experience the bicentennial in NYC. We did manage to go up the Empire State Building but mostly we walked. Our hotel was situated on Central Park - W 59th St. We walked that day to Battery Point and back - seeing

sights the organic way: by accident: Tiffany’s, Macy’s, the newly built World Trade Center, the parade of sail on the Hudson, the Statue of Liberty (from afar) and, of course, the fireworks from Battery Point. Simple things like huge clothing racks being pushed through the streets of the garment

somehow dredged up the courage to seek adventure and planned a trip to NYC for herself, my sister and I for the bicentennial. I have no idea how she did it. I was busy being 18 and heading to college. But she did and off we went (via bus) and that was my first experience outside of my hometown

Just once I’d like to get a good news message from a doctor. Yesterday I was told my body is not digesting food/nutrients. This has the glamorous name of “dumping syndrome”. Suggested I eat 4-6 meals a day. No sugar. No carbs. Protein & fiber laden. So, anyways… who’s free? Let’s do lunch!

I love #caturday ! About 15 years ago during a medical mystery, I found out I was severely allergic to cats. I had 3. So I started with medication and carried on. They were family. 5 years ago the last of the 3 passed. He was 19. I miss cats & look forward to your pics each week. Pickles 2011

Instead of trying to eliminate birthright citizenship guaranteed in the Constitution, we should pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting felons from serving as president
