They also often make promises they can't keep, and they should know that before making those promises. I get it that things often don't work out the way they would want too once they get elected, because in the end the president (or in my case, the prime minister) has to work through al lot of layers to get their plans through. BUT, they shouldn't be making unrealistic promises that sound like paradise to the (often naive) voters to begin with.

This, exactly!

I agree, Mascha, that promises are made that cannot be kept.

Voting is definitely a right that should be exercised, and you should be able to vote for whatever candidate you want to.

It's just frustrating to see play out sometimes especially when there are empty promises and election numbers vary so much.

Lizzy, good to know you're enjoying pilates. I really need to get active once again. I've been contemplating on joining a dance class recently. It's also elections in the US this year right?

Chris, hear hear!

Mascha, that's the problem with campaign season, a lot of BS so they make themselves look good. Once they're in office they don't really follow through.

Rose, that's good! I've been enjoying summer here too. I'm afraid it will be over here soon once July rolls in.

Yep, Lindsay. Election year for us too. Trump vs. Clinton. How did that man win any votes?

It's only just starting here, or it's trying to... Every time it starts being warmer, it gets cold again

Rose, that's awesome you could go outside in a shirt and sandals.

CeCe, agreed.

Lindsay, it's definitely time consuming and an effort to get active. I find that going to classes helps me because i can't self-motivate to work out on my own. What kind of dance class are you thinking of doing?

Mascha - well said.

Lizzy - I'm glad you're enjoying your class.

Lindsay, Rosie, Cece

I'm craving ice cream and I haven't even had breakfast yet.
