I am so glad that you wish to join this. The code currently is 3rg1u9. I've given it to a couple of other invitees, so if it doesn't work, please send me your code to save time. If I can get you in by 5:30 then I can take advantage of what I still have as far as a gift window from last night as well as the current zapping one. At 6, I will have a new window of gifts.

Excited that you went to the Women's March! How old is your daughter? This is a tremendous experience for the two of you. Just so you know, I did not wear all black yesterday. I remembered your wisdom and wore black dressy pants, stillettos ( a must for me), a white silk blouse and a blue sweater. For pink and patriotism, I wore my mother's red garnet ring and pendant.

I can and do hope and pray that the new administration takes note and respect of what the opposition voices are saying. With a son and daughter at 29 and 25 I am very worried about what will happen to the Affordable Healthcare Act. His first act as President was with this and I am worried. I do wish we had more of a socialized system here in the US like they do in The Netherlands. Tremendous difficulties in getting health insurance and the ridiculous restrictions were a huge factor forcing my parents to move back to Holland in the mid-90s. My parents, without having to renounce their US citizenship, were welcomed back to Holland and IMMEDIATELY given health coverage for a nominal premium. The services they received were beyond anything I know of here and that literally saved their lives for many many years. Yes, taxes are high there, but the quality of life is as high as ours here in the US and freedoms/rights are there too. I just don't see why we as a nation are so behind in this issue. My views are colored by personal experience and not by wide ranging education in the matter, but that is what I have.

I wouldn't live any where else that I can think of, but do wish for a world filled with more compassion and understanding.

Sorry to get all out there....

Looking forward to seeing you pop up in LideweyNoGift soon.

Take care. I'll wear pink - including pink high heels - on Monday. Promise.
