3. don't spend any money
I received an email about a planned boycott to refrain from spending a single penny on Jan. 20. Perhaps you know about it already.

8. my holiday wreath is still up, I could just drape it in black crepe paper
and drape black crepe paper on my front hedge.

Then when Feb rolls around, put my valentine stuff out.

don't have a flag to put upside down.

mourning seems like a good choice.

I plan to wear black that day. I have to go to work, unfortunately, but will have to take my lunch, no buying for me that day.

However I will be spending $20 that night, and $40 if my husband is with me..
our local Democrat org is having a counterinagural fundraiser, to help keep the rent paid on the county headquarters. Depression soup line is the theme, I think.

15. Thank you
I have been hanging out on DU a little more lately and will probably continue. This circle of people have been supportive so far, as much as you can be on a machine anyway!

I appreciate your kind words! :hug:

13. A Canadian flag
or maybe a French flag.

The flag of any country devoted to peace and freedom for all humanity.

14. A red flag and Blackbeard's Jolly Roger
Blackbeard was one tough customer, and the red flag meant ,"Taking no prisoners."
