31. In general, If I have learned anything

in my 35 years of marriage, raising 2 wonderful university educated daughters, it is that they may argue their point at first but when in disagreement with me or others they will let it go and then hand me or others our hats at a later point. All three have their own way but my guess is that you should not put weight on these polls. imo, the pink wave will be real and huge.

Of course I am horrified by the Dobbs decision.

When Dobbs was announced people made their voices heard. now is just the calm before the storm of hats.
