Shady Vance. That's a good one, too!

So many clever “worders” here! LOVE IT!!!

Nice to meet you, Kate!

Welcome to DU! LOTS off “pet slaves” here. We have three cats - or maybe it’s more accurate to say the three of them have two human pets!

I sympathize. My husband and I have had a long run together.

This Spring it’ll be Year 50. I’m sending you lots of thoughts of strength and courage, every time I think of it. Just your being there will help him greatly. And that in turn will help YOU.

If you can, please update us on how he’s doing AND how YOU are doing. Cuz we care. And we’re gonna worry.

You're not the only one, my friend!

I relish EVERY boo and hiss as though it was double-fudge ice cream. With no nuts.

I don't have any personal experience along those lines, Mike, but

I’ve seen friends battle cancer - and some of ‘em actually do win!

So I’d like to focus on that aspect of the story. Cancer CAN be beaten, or at least be put off for awhile. And sometimes it’s for a long while!

All the more reason to KEEP VOTING DEM!!!

Always look for the D on the ballot. And vote accordingly.

Smart voting is voting DEM.

And since too many of them can't seem to learn,

WE must keep telling them, and teaching them, AND reminding them, that No MEANS NO!!! (Even though I’m apt to add a “DAMMIT!!!” to that.)


And btw, whoever gave me a heart, MANY thanks!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey, truth hurts.

And I hope this bastard is hurting A LOT.

You’ve earned EVERY boo that comes your way, Vance.

THIS!!!

This could be THE timelessly established DU motto.

“If we don’t help each other, we are lost.”

Thank you, angel823!

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
