ANGRY/FRUSTRATED/SAD - I have two adopted Asian grand daughters. I forget that they are not white - they are just my beloved grand daughters. Knowing human nature I worried what they might face from the world being raised in a Caucasian family. It's been great. Both have friends in a spectrum of religions/colors/genders, and have never been faced with overt racism - until now. Apparently there has been an outbreak of racism at the university the younger is attending. She was initially scared, but is now pissed as is her grand father. I so wanted to protect them from the nastiness of the world. That was hopeless given the nature of man. I can only hope that reality does not change her outlook on life.

The Princess tells me that it is just part of life, but it is a part that I have always despised. She also tells me that GD is okay.

Thanks for letting me vent.

sour this is something we deal with as well. My grandsons are mixed and racism is ugly. It's a part of humanity that I hope goes away at some point.

Yes I just need to decide on a couple of things and I'll respond to you today I promise.

I'm sorry for the delay, I've had a ton to do the last couple days. My daughter is in the last stages of interviews for a new job and we each had an email from the detective doing her background check with 20 questions, literally. Igor is technologically challenged so I had to help him after I was done.

Best of luck to your daughter with the job quest!

I've dropped my cell phone on my eye and got a black eye before I don't use my phone in bed anymore!

Morning Cafe.
My sinus infection and traveled south into my lungs. Joy.
Just to add to my misery, I'm off to the DMV to get that non-driver photo ID for DH. I can barely keep my feet from dancing.

A black eye?? Too funny, lady But ouch! Maybe we need a "what's the most ridiculous way you've injured yourself" discussion. I bet there'd be some doozies
