Somehow, I think it’s worse that they asked us what we should do. They can pat themselves on the back for having the conversation when they never had any intention of shouldering any of the actual burden.

I have black cousins, Mexican cousins, some of whom he has met. It didn’t matter.

We’re so very red right now. We actually had a democrat for a governor less than a decade ago, but we’re pretty much the reddist state in the union, when you look at national elections. I’m actually off Facebook at the moment because I can’t even pretend to like someone who supports Trump right now.

I have a 6 year-old-daughter. I’m nearly 40, so I got to go to high school pre-social media.

Oh wow— that’s a bp medication, it looks like. My bp has been getting high, but I’ve been reluctant to get on medication. If it also helped with facial hair, however....
