11. duhneece, you make us so proud. You are our own hero.

To fight in a state that has been forgotten for too long, and riddled with poverty, lack of infrastructure, and the injustices that accompany those issues. I know the state and admire it, and you, and Omaha Steve, for bringing this to our attention. But especially you, for wanting New Mexico to be a better place.
You are a hero and a patriot. It is I who thank you for your dedication, responsibility and hard work. Glad I saw this post. It has been hectic in my world.       |

And about St Joseph, I don't think it is desperate at all. I think its more like an internalized mix of hope, prayers or wishes to be freed from a situation and a desire to move on. The day I sell my house, I will have buried many religious medals, rosaries, ashes from the many pets I have had here. I have them in little metal urns waiting for my memorial garden I will be cultivating soon, maybe this spring. The day I sell, the only thing left will be a parting longing for good times that once was. I might have a few pieces of luggage and a few boxes, but not much will be moving on from this old place.
That is, if I survive until then.  |

58. I'm an agnostic but St. Joe has sold 3 of my houses.
|
The only 3 I've sold...all sold within 1 month after burying St. Joe upside down 6" deep, 3' from the NW corner of the foundation.
Don't ask. 
And congrats on the full slate! 
Keep us informed for the next run, if I'm here I'll make sure to send some $ your way. Or send an email - I'm sure I'm om your list since I donated via the AB page here.  |

To think that her father, someone she's known her entire life, would be "big money" backer of a woman from New Mexico whom he'd never met.
 "'Big money"........that cracks me up.  I look forward to your next political foray. Have a wonderful Holiday Season, Denise. |

73. She's a wonderful person.
|
I'm so proud of her. I spent (and am still paying) about $200,000 for her BS and Master's Degrees, and what does she do with it? She works for a non-profit, helping people find affordable housing, mental health treatment, running homes for abused women and children etc. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if I'm awake, because she's such a wonderful person who cares so much about others. She chose the path less traveled, and much less profitable, but far more charitable and soul-enriching. I like to think I had some small part in steering her that way. Her Mom (we never married) is pretty much apolitical, but our daughter is as liberal as they come, probably more-so than I. She's given me two beautiful grandchildren, a fantastic son-in-law, and so much happiness I can't believe it. And yes, she has a wicked sense of humor.
I hit the jackpot.
Special wishes for you and yours during this Holiday Season, Denise. Stay healthy. |
