There is just nothing happy about this 4th of July.

[TNNurse]

If you find something positive...let me know.

1. Trump's not president.

[TNNurse]

2. True, but his influence is still present.

You know that court that is certainly not supreme.

[Throck]

3. Sigh

[Tetrachloride]

4. This past 5 weeks, a friend has survived 2 surgeries,

death of a grandmother, certain other physically painful issues and at least 10 hours without water , tho it may have been as high as 22 yesterday. The only thing I know is exhaustion and dehydration were paramount last night. And they lived.

Most DU members have better health. 100 percent have more money, officially speaking.

5. You're right.

There is nothing. I'm sitting outside right now listening to my loud trumpy neighbor blather on about Biden, democrats, etc.

It's 8 in the morning! I'm just trying to have a fucking cup of coffee!!!!!

[Botany]

6. Everyday is a day that Justice Thomas is closer to his "dirt nap."

7. 1A still being in effect, you are free to protest in front of the home of any SC justice you choose.

8. It's my husband's birthday

And I still love him and I’m happy I married him after 41 years, 2 kids and 4 grandkids. That’s what I’m celebrating today. (And yes he’s just as liberal as I am or there wouldn’t have been 41 years!)

9. Biden is President

that should be one thing to make a Democrat happy on the 4th.

10. My front door basket of nestling finches survived the last horrific storm and finally flew off this

past week. I still am in the habit of opening the door very slowly and cautiously, so as not to scare them. This is the second batch in three years, so the mating pair seem to still trust me, even if they scream alarms at each other when I come and go.

My batch from several years ago: (I didn't get a pic of this group, sadly):

Even love the mess they leave behind...

11. We're watching Wimbledon.

Wimbledon on July 4th is always a joy.

Cookout later.

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. One can always find positives, even when surrounded by darkness.

I, however, will NOT be celebrating Independence Day this year.
After finding out that wifey has her 3rd cancer discovered in the last 3 years and that this one is the direct result of her receiving chemo for Stage 4 Lymphoma, it is certainly difficult to find those positives. But, I will certainly continue trying.

14. Best wishes for you and your wife.

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. Thank you very much.

[Towlie]

13. At least they'll never take away my... (Hang on, there must be something they'll never take away...)

 
?

15. I have no difficulty divorcing the"4th of July" from "a lovely picnic with fireworks," so

I will be going with Sonny Nay and his wife to enjoy the evening.

17. Our 17 y.o. grandson is visiting & he is an amazing, insightful young man

So there’s definitely that.
