So I’m kind of a ring fanatic. I wear nine rings every single day. My philosophy with nice jewelry, unless it’s a real statement piece, is that I might as well wear it daily; I figure that if I lose it or something happens to it, at least it got worn!

Anonymous: I think a columnist in one of today’s daily newspapers hit the nail on the head regarding the shutdown. He writes that during the shut down important economic data government collects on many areas on the state of the economy is lost. Further stated that during the shut down a lot of data wasn’t collected and that there will be gapes what the people know about the U.S. economy. My take, How convenient. Looks like Trump won again and is still holds his title as the most clandestine person in the world bar none. I thought Pelosi won the battle until I read this article. Larry Kudlow behind this tactic??? I think so and I expressed what I felt about the man when he was announced as an economic adviser to Trump. How convenient and what great timing. Just before the State of The Union address by Trump. Perfect example of being careful of what one wishes for. This exposee, if I may call it that, has me wheeling to think that we have been had for the umpteenth time under Trump. Putin, if you are listening turn over Trump to the Mueller investigation. The sad part is that his base will still stand by him. Makes you wonder what his base is made of and from where does it come from.
