You just don't realize the stress until you can't deny it.

By all accounts, I'm a pretty gutsy broad. I'm in my late sixties. I usually say what I mean and I'm not afraid of controversy. I took down two great big tree limbs that were about to fall from recent storms with my chainsaw this past week.

I do my own home maintenance as much as possible. I'm single with an older relative living with me who requires some care, but it's manageable.

I remember one time when Trump was President during his first term. I was unloading the dishwasher, and out of the blue everything just hit me. I think I posted about that here. I started crying and had to sit down for a few minutes. It wasn't the dishwasher. It was all of the stress of HIS crap coupled with all of the usual, normal stress that we all have in our daily lives. I had just reached my limit.

This just happened to me again earlier today. I reached a limit. I have an overhead a/c filter and it's difficult to replace it. The vent cover is a bit testy when you are trying to put it back up.

The filter needed to be changed and I tried doing it and it wouldn't fit back in. I lost it. Bawled by eyes out for ten minutes. Again, it wasn't JUST the a/c filter. It's everything. All at once. All of the stress of our usual lives PLUS all of the worry, uncertainty and dread that goes along with Trump's second term.

I cried for a bit. Sat down for a minute and had a glass of dr. pepper. Then I by god got my ass back up and put the damn a/c filter in and got the vent cover on.

**** that sonofabitch to the end of eternity. As long as there is breath in this body, I will continue to get my ass back up and fight him. I hate him and I hate all of the assholes in this country who allowed this to happen and continue to do nothing.

I am woman. Hear my fat ass roar this morning!!!!!

hamsterjill blames Trump for her DW not being self-emptying and her AC filter cover being cranky? Her obsession with politics is padded-room-grade pathetic. As good as Dr. Pepper is, it won't cure her obsession.

It’s really amazing how different we are. I’ve never once cried because of our president’s “crap”, but that does NOT mean that a male fictional spirit-guide never cries. Let me tell you a crying situation for this fictional spirit-guide.

Several years back I had a long time friend who was also a Korean War veteran. His wife and family asked me to be a pallbearer, and I agreed. Now, I was truly sad that my friend died, but I also realize that dying is one aspect of living so I can always keep my emotions in check. This case was no different. I was standing behind the flag draped coffin with the other pallbearers looking like the perfect stoic fictional spirit-guide. Then the song Taps start playing and they began folding the flag from the coffin. The entire time that happened I had tears running down my cheeks.

The tears weren’t really for my friend. The tears were because during that segment of the funeral the realization hit me that we are able to do things like have a peaceful funeral for a family member or friend AND you are able to post stupid BS crap on a website of hate-filled anti-American idiots like DU because of all of the sacrifices made through the years by the men and women who have served under that very flag. I cried in awe and appreciation of what came before. You cried because you’re a petulant child who didn’t get its way. We are so, so different.

What a spoiled child.

Look how she behaves when she doesn't get her way.  :rant: Look how it affects her.  :rant:

Things like this make me question the wisdom of the 19th amendment.

Hamsterjill, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul

     Once during the Biden junta I stood up from my garage fridge and gashed my head badly on the freezer door handle. Honestly, it should have had stitches and some sort of care to avoid the scar I now have.

     I was SO pissed and in pain. Then I put a bandaid on it, grabbed a soda, and went about my business, because I am not a faggot.

This morning, I accidentally flipped over a tiny can of yeast on the kitchen counter. I was irritated, but hastily cleaned up the mess. Then I made pancakes.

At no point did I relate this to politics, or think "How is this connected to what Democrats are doing?".
