Thanks for the idea.

I will write about a 100% service -connected veteran who may lose his house because the insurance company thinks that giving him $24,000 when the low estimate for repairing damage by Florence and its tornadoes is closer to $80,000 will fix it. I don't have to tell them that his son is his contractor do I? He can keep all the money. Do I even have to tell them who this veteran is do I? His grandson next door lost his house. The insurance company gave him $60,000 to trash the old house and build a new house. All written statements are true.

This one of the fears the Rebublicans have.

Can't remember the exact date, but it is before 2060, when White people will be a minority. There won't be a majority, but if Black and Brown get together you can say goodbye to having a White president and Congress will have quite a few less Whites. I would like to see it, I only have to live to be 117.

I don't vote party, I vote individual people.

I voted for Ed Brooks Senator from MA back in the 60s. I will edit this if I can think of another Republican I voted for.

It all goes to spam.

What I get a lot of is the RNC, all of it goes to spam also. I have 6 different email accounts for different things. I find it easier to keep track of things.

Does he write off the whole amount

or just what he paid minus the actual value of the wine? Every month I get a letter from the Baptist Children's Home stating I did not receive anything of value for my donation.

I worry about one thing.

You draw and quarter someone and your lawyer says it is not a hate crime because Congress was very specific that lynching is a hate crime but not specifically stating anything else is a hate crime.

We should not have put any troops in the Midle East.

The only reason is oil.

When talking about her I use her first name.

She uses my first name. This is her 5th and my 3rd, but my first 2 died.
