41. Nurses and teachers are great! We'd be dead without them.

Oldest son's girlfriend of almost twenty years is a nurse. Middle son's former girlfriend is a teacher. Youngest son's wife is a vet tech (not able to work now, though).

Add me to the list of "suckers and losers". I served my country proudly, ready to go during the Iran Hostage Crises. My then-husband was going to be there for sure, me only if we needed more bodies. I hate Trump and all he stands for, all Republicans in truth. Can't stand a one of them.
