Actually, it saved my life. While buying insurance from the ACA, I discovered I had breast cancer. I had breast cancer! And, we would not have been able to afford care without it. Please understand that it has helped countless families and companies in this country! If I were not a lady, I'd swear.

To the web designers out there, please come to terms with the fact that MANY in the world CANNOT READ WHITE LETTERS ON A BLACK OR DARK BACKGROUND!!!

Not that any of you are old enough to remember WordPerfect but it was not usable until they put a "paper-looking" Overlay over the screen!

Stop it!

If it means anything, my father discovered Watts in the 60’s-70’s (yes I am old!) and then he discovered J. Krishnamurti- which was a high influence. Check out his lectures and writings.

Flood the zone. We are America, we are kind, we believe in the equality of all AMERICANS, and we believe that HATE has no place.

We believe in the Separation of Powers and the Rule of Law as our foundation. We are AMERICA.πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸŒˆπŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

I'm just going to say it...just going to say it...but I am so radically tired of men defending other men who are in the wrong. I don't care if it is in business, or socially, or politically, or within the family. Come on boys, if someone does a poor job, or says the wrong thing -call them out on it!

And isn’t there a recent video of him walking out of a tan salon? Now that’s healthy. No. No, no, no, he needs to stop talking and retreat from his position and just hang out where he can do no more harm.

What is a wearable? These are people who refuse to wear a mask - or shoes other than flip flops.

THE HOUSE PASSED THE SAVE ACT AND IT IS HEADED TO THE SENATE. CALL YOUR SENATOR AND DEMAND THAT THEY VOTE NO. BECAUSE A YES VOTE TAKES AWAY MY RIGHT TO VOTE BECAUSE I TOOK MY HUSBAND'S LAST NAME. #NOTOSAVEACT

Sorry Sir, you're wrong. If there's one thing I learned years ago is if they say things get better after the pain, that's abuse. You fall for it, then you are a victim. If you have a chance to stand up but choose not to, then the abuser wins. They want to shut down the government anyhow..so do it.
