A FB Meme that made me sick to my stomach

Reading here it is implied that the only offensive memes are posted by only one political stance. Surely you all receive these posts from all perspectives. I do. Most are slanted and sensational; a few do make you think. I think that more annoying than receiving political blurbs from Facebook friends is receiving them from friends of friends. Generally I find them annoying and close them. Most of the time I don't read them.

I agree, Blfenton. The one where Obama tells Joe to put the laser pointer away or give it to him... the look on Joe's face is like a defiant kid whose fun is being taken away. In that one, it's not so much the words, but the expressions on their faces. My personal fave is Biden's look while saying, "He's got tiny hands Barack, I want him to feel welcome here."

I have found that as my siblings age they are spending less time doing more physically challenging activities and concentrating more and more on food related activities. I am 62 still work 10 hours a day, clean my own home, care for 2 dogs, love to garden, and am renovating my home. My siblings are all retired. The younger retirees are still somewhat active, but do have more time on their hands and have focused their energy largely on cooking. The older siblings were similar, but as mobility and other age related limitations occur I see them spending even more time on food related activities. They planned a group trip last year to drive the Philadelphia to eat lunch at some fancy restaurant. I was working and wouldn't have gone even if I wasn't working. Drive 2 hours to have lunch and then drive back! Better things to do with my time. (They picked lunch so they wouldn't have to drive on the freeway after dark.)

Roman Cohort is the standout to me this post...... Heroes on Horses gets my attention because in your picture at least, the scapes seem to be bolt upright. That's a sturdy feature in a daylily........Yellow Monkey has interested me ever since Ed Burton was on this forum and showed it. The reviews on how it grows over the years always seems mixed. A southern friend of mine loves hers and has no complaints, yet Kate doesn't have such luck. So many daylilies so little space...........Maryl
