EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.<br />Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.<br />Email him at: Emutemple@gmail.com <br />Call or Whats-app him: +2347012841542Tucker Conradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10803726052277720550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-70019253289036136132020-08-29T13:57:41.380-05:002020-08-29T13:57:41.380-05:00https://twitter.com/designmom/status/1299440940545...https://twitter.com/designmom/status/1299440940545908736Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-21308692949817279702020-08-27T19:13:03.131-05:002020-08-27T19:13:03.131-05:00But Nancy Pelosi is a peach!But Nancy Pelosi is a peach!marylouweidmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433369402776877284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-6234565164130122442020-08-27T19:10:37.338-05:002020-08-27T19:10:37.338-05:00Me too!

Here, in this discussion, I am asking for someone to explain what looks like a Double Standard. So far, no one has helped me understand the dissonance. Going back to earlier times with you, though ... for many years, you and I have held very, very different opinions on politics. I disagree heartily with some of your opinions, but I hope I have never been disrespectful of them. It's not that I don't "give a crap" about your opinions. I respond as best I can with "arguments" for my positions -- but that is not disrespect. Disagreement (with respect) is inevitable and healthy, from my point of view. If I have ever been disparaging, demeaning, or insulting to you, I sincerely apologize. (Please note: I do not, and have not, defended Barbara's comment, which I see as insulting.)julie silberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365491774077183759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-26928505603412722442020-08-25T10:57:46.942-05:002020-08-25T10:57:46.942-05:00No comments were cancelled ... they are all still ...No comments were cancelled ... they are all still there.

You both exposed yourselves as bigoted lefties and those of us who don't agree with you are free not to buy her books. You are free not to vote for President Trump. It doesn't diminish his actual accomplishments for which I appreciate him very much. As far as posting anonymously, it's simply prudent. There are very real risks of doxxing and actual assaults on conservatives.

I guess you didn’t like it when I said that I couldn’t stomach looking at your books and so threw them in the trash. What did you expect when you slapped me and by extension millions of other Americans in the face. Put yourself in my shoes...what if I had said this against you personally. I know....you would probably have said that you didn’t give a flying whatever about it, but I am not stupid and your arrogance to suggest that I am was hurtful. Secondly I like what President Trump does...I can deal with what he says as the alternative to him is so horrific....not Biden to be clear...I think he is a poor confused man that is being manipulated by the far left (some call it elder abuse). There are good decent Democrats left out there, but they are being highjacked by a far left agenda.

I respect you for engaging with me, and for using your name, rather than anonymous. Yes, some of us here are colleagues and/or friends. I am committed to keeping things peaceful and civil, which I think you may know about me. None of this dampens my affection for those here whom I know, and with whom I profoundly disagree politically. Still, my posts here are not political, even though the subject of the blog is. I am personally interested in what appears to be a Double Standard. How is it that some here are so upset with BB for insulting you and being rude and at the same timed maintain your association with, and support of, President Trump? Have any of you called out his rude and insulting behavior, as you are here with Barbara? I hopeI make sense. explain the Double Standard to me, please.

Beautiful quilts, especially liked the ones made from shirting fabric. But I'm shocked by the comments on this page. We are far into this election year, and everyone has their own values and beliefs. I know who I will vote for, and I can only hope that enough other people feel the same way -- and vote. I consider it a crucial choice. Ms. Brackman's values and her aesthetic are what make her work -- research, designs and blog -- so interesting. Among all the art and artifacts, she found a way to express a political opinion in the spirit of past elections, by freely offering a design as a gift to any reader. My point is that it was not wrong for the author to express her opinion, and she should not be expected to then contradict or negate her opinion so that others can choose a version they prefer. I think it would be rude in any circumstance to ask for a different gift than what was offered. And with the intensity of the present political/social/economic situation in our country, it's no surprise that that request triggered a sharp response. Whichever way the election goes, we all need to respect the fact that our country is sincerely divided. Sensitivity doesn't come into play only after an insensitive request is made.

This is about us, not politics. How I feel about the president is not important. I felt that kindness should ALWAYS prevail between us. We are friends, colleagues, sisters, mothers and daughters here...all of us wrapped into the warm love of quilts. I do not believe that we should be using this blog for anything political, it isn't the right forum and there are plenty of places you can do that.

There’s no need for anyone to call anyone else names, be rude or crass, or call someone who disagrees with you stupid, deplorable or anything else. It is disgusting and embarrassing to see adults behaving so badly! I support President Trump for 2 reasons, he is our President and I happen to agree with his policies for the most part. I do not agree with every word they comes out of his mouth, or from his Twitter feed. I also believe that he wants the very best for all of us in this country.

It's...Here are my two cents' worth to add. It's a question to ponder. I can understand why some of you are upset and angry about Barbara's response. And why some of you would have chosen to remove yourselves from anything to do with Barbara. My question to yours this, and I genuinely want to know. Have you ever heard Trump be mean or disrespectful to those who disagree with him? It seems impossible that you would not have heard his frequent name-calling of both Democrats and even his own chosen members of his cabinet, for example -- those who disagree with him. Here are only a few of the degrading invectives he uses openly and publicly. Loser, fraud, dumb, crazy, slob, ugly, flunkies, low IQ, low-life, unhinged, deranged, stupid, nuts, rapist. He called Omarosa, an African American woman whom he himself hired ... a "dog." We heard him say that "Mexicans are criminals and rapists" -- an entire group of people. He has called entire countries "shit-holes." You all know I could go on and on. But I won't. I will simply ask those of you who are so upset with Barbara that you would cut yourself off from her and her work -- have you disassociated yourself from Trump for insulting others on a daily basis? And if not, why not?<br /><br />julie silberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365491774077183759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-5355599506073682452020-08-21T17:49:51.526-05:002020-08-21T17:49:51.526-05:00Barbara Blackman, I have folllowed you, bought all...Barbara Blackman, I have folllowed you, bought all your books and taught historical quiltmaking for over 30 years.
