It depresses me just thinking about how she's been treated by the Royals and the newspapers that protect the Organization at Megan's expense. I'd like to see the pomp and ceremony the Organization provides, come to an end, and the Royals forced to get a job, work it like Harry and Megan.BootsandBraidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516676772421046983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920376410387116757.post-29006675616434022232022-12-16T02:56:46.690-06:002022-12-16T02:56:46.690-06:00I've been away from blogging/reading blogs for...I've been away from blogging/reading blogs for a couple of months, so glad to hear that you got moved.

She went to a few classes recently but was so disappointed and hard on herself. That is what made me click on the twirling. I don't think there will be any outlet in school to show off her talent, if she develops any, but at least it is something a little physical and maybe not too difficult to give her a sense of accomplishment.

Now everything is "cheer" squads or gymnastics for girls, at least from what I see other people's children and grandchildren doing.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920376410387116757.post-43350394527513733862022-12-11T18:21:33.747-06:002022-12-11T18:21:33.747-06:00So great to hear you like your new digs.

I have only seen the first episode of Harry and Megan on Netflix. I adore them both. As for the racists stuff. I had co-workers from the UK and they were awful about race. Very 1950s mind set. Our company was global so there were people of all colors, races and religions. I was appalled at their comments and attitudes and after a while I stayed clear of them and just smiled and nodded when together. That is what I loved about the company I got to meet so many interesting people. My boss was from Ireland and he told me these race horror stories too. One being his parents. he was so embarressed by them. He had lived in Hong Kong, India, London and then the US for work and each time they would refer to each country with slur terms of the people. They disliked England as much as the others. It was wild to me. When they came to America to visit he gave them a lecture. They actually referred to a black person in his bldg (Manhattan) as a insert slur. He told them they were not going siteseeing if they kept this up. They finally shut up. His stories would make you gringe.<br />I hope you have a wonderful Holiday and no snow. :-)Margaret (Peggy or Peg too)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247428494327269983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7920376410387116757.post-57834777253484553042022-12-11T15:07:54.689-06:002022-12-11T15:07:54.689-06:00I am glad to hear you are liking the new apartment...I am glad to hear you are liking the new apartment!
