3. My 30 year old son had that injury

It’s a hairline fracture in his foot. He was in a boot for a long time and was limping for months. It’s still not right. Sometimes, they just don’t heal right.

Sometimes the PTs want you to gradually reduce wearing the boot.

Or perhaps if he is going to do a lot of walking on the weekend as opposed to sit sitting at a desk during the week, he'll wear the boot.

Or he is out of the boot and still limping. He should be walking with a cane, his gait is not good. It is going to put stress on his hips, back and other knee. And he doesn't want to do that, it will only cause more problems.

Have not heard a word of her since the inauguration! She should be at the WH advising him with her opinion on the plethora of things!

But for some reason, they wouldn't let him sit up front, and they kept talking about this fellow "god" who Trump suspected some folks might think was greater than him.

It is part of who he is - church is not a fake photo shoot

And I’m a little envious - in person worship. I miss, miss, miss it. Our church does a great job with online but it just isn’t the same. But come Easter we will have in person worship - in the front parking lot (cars elsewhere) to allow for anyone who wants to attend. With social distancing there is no way could we be inside for such a service.

under his hands. We also saw him feeling up his older daughter on stage when she introduced him as he accepted the nomination. Two very creepy images.

Dammit, America, it was a close call, but we survived 4 years of The F Guy and still pulled ourselves out of it.

And yeah, now I think I may need to re-watch some of that Inaugural celebration concert.

Doing the things that feed his soul. Being with his wife, kids, grandkids and dogs.
Going to Mass, visiting the cemetery.

I know that Jill and the dogs are with him at the WH, but it is not the same as kicking back in your own home.
With all the rough and tumble of the grandkids.

This is most excellent for stress reduction.

He's not in Florida, he's not in New Jersey, he's less than a one-hour flight from DC, dammit!

Can you believe this?

This kind of bothsiderism shit drives me berserk. Biden is going to his one and only home in Delaware for the weekend. He’s not taking an entourage to his private club in Florida where people have paid $200,000 for access to the President. Also he’s not playing golf at his own course and charging the Secret Service to play there.

Fuck that shit.

...I thought the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops claimed he wasn't a "real Catholic" because he supported Roe and LGBTQ rights, and ordered the faithful to vote for Trump.
