I just got home from counting absentee ballots -- started at 8:00 AM & leaving at 12:10 AM!! I'm exhausted & too distraught over my neighbors voting in basically a landslide for tRump. I am just sick that so many of the voters are willing to elect a Felon, a ra**st, a disgusting piece of 💩
What has happened to holding our elected officials to a higher moral standing???

I missed a call a short while ago. When I looked at the transcript of the message, it lifted my mood greatly. I found out on Monday that the medication injections I've been getting in my left eye over the past 13 months is no longer effective & the macula has deteriorated more over the past 8 weeks than all of the previous 11 months, so I've been pretty depressed, forced to adjust some of my future home/living goals.
Here's what BCBN decided (Yay!!)

I need a mechanic & a handyman (or woman!) to help with a few projects around my house and yards between Jackson & Spring Arbor, MI.
I had back surgery in May & will have lifting restrictions for many months. I HAVE 2 sections of privacy fence that fell down (after several vehicles bumped into them). I need to replace my car's battery so I can sell it (has a manual transmission & I can't press my left foot on the clutch anymore).
I need my vinyl siding power washed & some concrete leveling.
If you know anyone who does any of this, please let me know!!

I am furious that our tax dollars are sending even one penny or one bullet to Israel. They SLAUGHTERED innocent people, mostly women and children, in a refugee camp in Rafa, exactly where Israel had told the people of Gaza to go for safety. How can Israel possibly think the Palestinians will stop trying to retaliate when it is Israel, a sovereign country, who is indiscriminately killing entire families who just want to live in safety without constant threat from the giant BULLY NATION that is Israel.

It is my opinion, based on reliable international information about the numbers of Israeli hostages and deaths versus tens of THOUSANDS of Palestinian deaths, that Israel is targeting innocents and as such, are guilty of International War Crimes!

I am calling for our congress to stop all money sent to support Israel NOW.

On Memorial Day, we remember the American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice on land, sea, and air for our country and our freedom. We owe them a debt of gratitude for our liberty, pursuit of happiness, and peace. Let us honor their memory and never forget those who still live with the effects of their trauma and injuries.
