Still at hospital. Son in law doing alright. He was in a little pain but they gave him something for it.
Best wishes to him SG.. And you, get some rest ok..?
Just got home, Eliihass. It poured down rain on the way back. So glad to be back at home. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts.
The very least we do SG.. Now really, get some rest ok.. God bless and protect you and the family always love..
Good to hear it. The prayers are still coming.
I am so relieved to know that your son-in-law is on the mend. I will continue to pray for his speedy recovery.
Along with Eliihass, I do hope you set aside a lot of time today to catch up with your rest.
You have been such a support to your family and to your neighbor’s grieving family.
Thank you, Yahtc. Carson’s great grandmother has him since daughter has been staying at the hospital. I picked up Carson a lot of food and some grape and apple juice. He loves the bananas and pears.
Just checked on my neighbor’s family to see how they were doing. It’s such a sad time for them. Heartbreaking.

Seriously, Melania’s a racist birther just like her orange POS husband.
Right.. But that’s not how the narrative goes unfortunately sis.. In the end, she’s the ‘irresistible’ delicate white flower that has the black woman’s husband ‘swooning’ and
losing his mind over ..completely forgetting his black wife seated next to him… who’s of course ‘angry’ and of course, ‘threatened’ and ‘undesirable’.. But as long as the hubby aka shiny black guy comes off looking good, who cares how the narratives are twisted to demean and denigrate his wife ..right?

Folks can’t help themselves. Their hatred supersedes any semblance of decency, when it comes to First Lady Michelle Obama.
It’s the illumination of several things..
The crap this black wife constantly has to put up with ..from both the left and the rightwingers..
The left – ever desperate to wield their shiny black man – and nearly always at his black wife’s expense, …will play up her husband even if it means she gets disrespected and demeaned in the process.. As long as they get to tout and laud their singular emblem of their own open-mindedness, high mindedness and ‘good judgement’..
And the rightwingers (and some so-called ‘progressive’ folks), will always, always root against her …they hate her more than they ever hated her elected politico husband.. Their greatest desire is for her to be humiliated ..not him, her..and hopefully, by her husband… They so root for him to hurt her.. They run around looking for anything that even remotely suggests that he prefers some other woman – preferably white – over his black wife.. And it thrills them to bits.. And they mock and taunt her .. And will even praise him.. That’s all you need to know..
TRUTH
THIS RIGHT HERE:
Their greatest desire is for her to be humiliated ..not him, her..and hopefully, by her husband… They so root for him to hurt her.. They run around looking for anything that even remotely suggests that he prefers some other woman – preferably white – over his black wife.
It’s all part of that insidious and ongoing narrative about how he really, really loves him some white women…including the ones they dug up and repeatedly told us how he’d proposed twice to one when he was in his
early twenties.. And how his double Ivy League educated black wife was merely a ‘politically expedient’ choice.. As evidenced by how he always loses his mind everytime you dangle a white woman before him…especially at funerals.. And I’ve read all sorts of insulting stuff just from today, I can’t even share them here.. Including how he’s thrilled that the buffoon’s wife is following him on Twitter, but does not follow his black wife..who ironically, didn’t delete the @FLOTUS from her follows…and so is still following the account..

LOL So funny!

So much class, the Obamas to sit next to Melania. I suppose this was strategic?
Because he’s not a REAL PRESIDENT. He’s a fraud posing as president. Just get him out of the Oval Office.

Beyond Starbucks: How Racism Shapes Customer Service
By Alexandra C. Feldberg and Tami Kim
April 20, 2018
SNIP
The manager at Starbucks called the police with the claim that the two men were “refusing to make a purchase.” The manager did not believe that they were customers.
Our research suggests that this belief — that a nonwhite person cannot or will not be a legitimate customer — can indeed worsen discrimination in service delivery. In a follow-up study, we emailed nearly 2,000 hotels and made a similar inquiry about local restaurants. But this time, in addition to varying the race of the inquirers, we varied whether they made clear their intention to stay at the hotel. Indeed, making customer status explicit helped reduce discrimination against minority people. These results are in line with the recent incident at Starbucks: We see that service workers do not apply the rule that every person is a potential customer deserving the same level of service.

Uh oh….. but I have to travel on Rock Prairie Road today………….
“All major intersections along the route will be closed as the motorcade proceeds through College Station. The intersections that will be closed will begin at Highway 6 at Rock Prairie Road to Texas Avenue at George Bush Drive. Once the motorcade begins traveling on George Bush Drive, all major intersections will be blocked until the motorcade reaches Barbara Bush Drive”.

BWA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Good Morning Everyone 😄😄😄
Good morning, everyone!
My neighbor was on the way to meet up with her daughter to pick out a wedding dress and she was killed 6 minutes after she left the house. A teenager ran a stop sign and T-boned her SUV killing her. So incredibly sad. Prayers to the family. I made some spaghetti and garlic toast for the family to eat. Our community is so sad.
Good Morning, SG2. You beat me to it this morning with the post. THANK YOU!
Life is indeed short and precious. Prayers to the family. You’re a “GOOD neighbor.”
Your service is a gift in times of sorrow & grief.
My neighbor was a good woman with a kind heart. Always helping folks with whatever she could do.
That is so sad.
How is your son-in-law?
He’s still in the hospital and need another procedure done but nothing major. Thank you all for your prayers.
Good morning, SG2 and Everyone,
Good Lord, that is so sad about your neighbor, SG2. It’s good there are neighbors like you to help the family through this. It doesn’t happen that way in my current neighborhood, people barely notice each other.
It’s good to hear that your son-in-law is doing good.
Hang in there…
Liza, the fact that SG2 shares her neighborly kindness, gives us all hopes that there is still some CIVILITY in this country.
Liza, we country folks cook up food, take cakes, drinks, paper plates, napkins etc to families that have suffered a death in their family. My sis would bake home-made cakes. She’s sick now and can’t do that anymore but people could count on getting one of her delicious cakes.
Liza, we pull our cars to the side of the road whenever there is a funeral procession taking place. If folks are outside working, they stop until funeral procession passes through. Occasionally there may be some person who break the norms but folks frown 😡 on them. Respect the dead!
I really miss those traditions. When my father died, the house was full of neighbors and relatives and church people within a couple of hours after the news was out. Everyone brought something. I haven’t seen anything like that since leaving the South.
That’s southern traditions.
I am so sad to learn about your dear neighbor’s death. It is so heartbreaking.
You are such a good, kind neighbor helping her family through this tragedy.
It’s such a small thing to do for someone who was always helping people. The family is good people. Although there are some racist folks in this town, these people are good, down to earth people who give their all to help others in need.
SO TRUE, Sg2. In the END, it’s all about our families & a few TRUE FRIENDS. We’re ALL we’ve got.
