A Rethuglican neighbor started to crow to me the other day, and I said, "Thank you." He said, "What do you mean?" I said, "Thanks for the big money. That tax cut really help me and my hubby. Hope you don't mind trying to find good health care and paying more for state and local services. Mark and I are good." That shut him up.

I'm tired also. I have an 8-year-old (this 45er started late).

But I'm focusing on supporting the right orgs. And not stressing myself out. I could fly my daughter any place she needed to go to get her reproductive care. She's too young to draft. Mr. LSM and I are to old to draft. We're set after selling his businesses. We have a good health plan. This retired social worker was trying to help others. But ... if they don't want to help themselves. We have an old saying in social work: "if you are working harder than your client ... to help their situation ... something is wrong. They need to care too."
