Well it's night now but this morning, busy getting ready for work and on the radio as usual Trump's latest.

The segment gets introduced, it's about trumps sexually abusive practices pre election.
A woman comes on and I think she's Trump's spokesperson and she says these supportive things of woman making claims.
Well ye that's cool, the normal slippery politician does that and then says but in this case they are mistaken or something.
But she was actually talking for the woman making the complaints.
Woman 2 comes on, she's Trump's one.  Trump won the election so any wrongs he had done previously were irrelevant, all accusations are proven false by his minority vote.

Of course I know if you have a disagreement you can challenge your opponent to combat and god will decide who is right.
Ye and Popes can do stuff.
I never knew US elections worked in this way.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

My mom's talk of moving to a Northeastern state like Vermont or New Hampshire. Oh, no, I can not get that off my mind for even one minute.  :frolic:

I don't want to get myself too excited here, because back when I was in high school there was talk of moving to Kansas. However, I think it might be the real deal this time. The fact that every single county of our state voted for the horrible amoral monstrosity that is Trump has really made my family sick. Like absolutely can not stand it anymore sick.

I have no idea how it came down to the Northeast states to move to, but it makes me very happy, because *I* really would like to go live there, but can't stomach moving away from my family like that. It'd be too much of a loss for me. So this is kind of like a miracle? Lol. Perhaps they're thinking of me, I don't know...

You know how "they" pressure you, sometimes a little too much, to feel the xmas spirit? I was just thinking, tomorrow, the 26th, xmas will be over...
:tellmemore: I will wake up singing that great song from the 70's, Love Is in the Air by: John Paul Young.  :dance1:

I'm not trying to pressure anyone into ending xmas a few hours sooner, or anything like that, I'm just saying tomorrow it will all be over!

That does sound like good news. My sister lived in New Hampshire for a while, very beautiful state...I'll keep all of my digits crossed for you! 8)

But, but. That's just like the bit between Monday and Sunday, and Sunday, and Sunday . . . for me!

I love this period of time, it's like an never-ending Sunday.

...Not sure if the following is correct or not, but saw the following on my twitter feed.

In the UK the days between Christmas and New Years are known as the 'gusset' in England. Example: "I'm 4 days deep in the Christmas gusset"

The Dirty Grotto, curated by Kiln at The Rep, Birmingham

Wednesday 16 December, 2015

For this filthy festive occasion I slipped something naughty (but rather nice) into Mother Claus' grubby stocking tops. Sitting on Mother Claus' knee, visitors were treated to a fiery ginger 'powder' either sucked off her dirty finger or licked off some titillating wraps.

The Christmas Gusset was one of six fabulous nights curated by Kiln at The Rep Theatre in Birmingham. Each night offered a wickedly funny line-up of tinseled brilliance to entertain and titillate, washed down with a glass or two of Babycham at the Sweet Pussy Bar.

I've never heard that expression before. In which part of England is it used?

My bible-thumping Adventist grandparents will arriving in a while. I'm wondering where they could be taken them that isn't an Adventist Church...the city I live in isn't exactly full of tourist attractions. :notsure: 

My grandfather is a bit of a soccer fanatic, so I guess we can take him to a couple of stadiums.
