86. Beautiful kids and a great dog - all started with an amazing woman and you! How lucky can one man

May 2012

be? I've been around for a long time, not sure of the date but probably after * was appointed. Haven't been able to post much in the last 2 years. I've been taking care of my daughter during that time 24/7. She's so ill and bedridden it breaks my heart. The medical community has not been helpful. I wonder what happened to intellectual or professional curiosity - they all seem to have none. If they can't treat it with a pill or it doesn't show up on a test - it doesn't exist. Amen, next patient.

I'm on here daily, mostly to keep my sanity about the crap I read and hear. The real shame is our kids/grand kids will never know how great this country was and still can be.

To all three of you, my gratitude and admiration. Keep up the great work.
