CHEERS

GROOVY! Cheers to David at Groove Merchants for tracking down a hardto-find copy of my daughter’s favorite album on vinyl. She was overjoyed when she saw it. Thanks so much!

JEERS

JEERS TO MYSELF & APOLOGY TO COUPLE Mon AM at Sacred Heart elevators. You were a middle-aged couple who pressed “close doors” before I could get on, and I reacted in an annoyed fashion. I am very sorry; hospitals have been causing me great discomfort and I’m still getting used to it. I was a jerk in a neon yellow knit hat. I’m super sorry if I added to any anxiety about having to be at a hospital. Best wishes and sincere apologies.

VALUE DEMOCRACY OVER YOUR GUNS To those who are armed in this country in order to maintain freedom and safety — remember: that’s the point. Attending protests and occupying federal lands and buildings with your oversized weapons scares and silences the people you were or are armed to protect. You are charged with maintaining democracy, and instead you terrorize people and seem to think that unlimited gun freedom is more important than democracy and the well-being and safety of your neighbors. The right to bear arms is a rare freedom, and you are endangering it because your idea of freedom seems mainly limited to what works for you and you only. You should be at the forefront of maintaining the right to bear arms in a manner that reflects the reality of the killing power guns now possess. I have a feeling some of you rail on about the second amendment mostly because you get off on intimidating people with your big guns. You don’t have many other ways to feel important or seen. You’re dealing with your insecurity and fears in a way that frankly hurts to witness. I feel like I see every screwed-over guy from my screwed-over hometown in you. Get off the internet, get off social media, and go to the library and ask a librarian for help. They’ll get you on the right track. And please don’t take your damned guns with you when you go! You won’t need them there.

TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN! Jeers to a local motel for putting lives in danger including children! In the last year I have rented a room on three separate occasions each time in a different room but they all had one thing in common: light fixtures exposed and hanging by their wires and smoke detectors without batteries.

OK, TIME TO PUT UP OR LOOK STUPID! So the worst person to have EVER lived is leaving the White House! And tomorrow the Greatest Statesman to have entered the Hollowed Halls of Political Endeavor begins 8 Years of Diplomacy! It’s been 5 years of having the press bad-mouth everything the President did to now 8 years of the press and social media covering for his 45 years of absolutely NO accomplishment other than he isn’t Bernie Sanders. Many have predicted that between his mental state or health it is guessed his lasting between 6 months to two years before the Queen of the Swamp steps in and pulls out Article 25 on him and puts the Vice President in his place. Then there will be policies that are SO far Left it will be interesting to see how even the Left can stomach it. And where will all the money come from to pay for this? As Prime Minister Thacher said, “Socialism only lasts as long as OTHER people’s money.” And attempting to pick up my husband who are so thin-skinned as to be pathetic not it’s amazing how in a country that is (or was standing outside the entrance.
