When Bush 43 became POTUS, she went into a tizzy and engaged in a long political diatribe, which went out as a postscript to her rambling, babbling Christmas newsletter. It's easy to imagine the holiday hissy-fits she has likely sent out over the last three or four years. <br /><br />But I have not read a single word that she's written. Although she and my cousin live just two hours away, my wife and I have not seen them, or even communicated with them, in almost twenty years. It is almost a certainty that we never will again. Her histrionic "Bush rant" letter arrived unexpectedly out of the blue, and it received a few derisive snorts before we cast it aside, just as we did with her.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-69564105929118655782016-12-19T08:04:22.554-06:002016-12-19T08:04:22.554-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Privatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757585399827295128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-5387603067010763462016-12-19T06:18:16.079-06:002016-12-19T06:18:16.079-06:00this is terrific.....ha, facebook is uninterrupted...this is terrific.....ha, facebook is uninterrupted xmas letters--good one.sarah e. lauzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14707833245792626307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-81188961951188946302014-12-18T12:30:19.456-06:002014-12-18T12:30:19.456-06:00Speaking of your wife's artwork, a FB Friend s...Speaking of your wife's artwork, a FB Friend sends such examples from Carl Gombert.

Yes, lots of "bragging" about everything from cruises to how wonderful their lives all are. (I don't think they read this blog, so I should be safe). I scan them quickly, then toss them. Not that I'm not "happy for them"... :)SandyKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-69815526464852414292014-12-18T08:32:55.592-06:002014-12-18T08:32:55.592-06:00Perfect - right down to the inevitable slip from &...Perfect - right down to the inevitable slip from "we" to "I." <br /><br />Johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.com
