Hope Mj is better...πŸ˜ΆπŸŽΆπŸ™

Thank you they are. I probably should have elaborated but didn’t want to make the post about me and my family. Anyway, they came down with the flu on day one and that turned into pneumonia (after one ill-fated day where we thought they were getting better and took a day trip). From there severe dehydration and almost a hospital trip. It was truly scary and awful. Anyway. MJ saw a wonderful doctor there in a private practice and got on antibiotics. It took a couple of days but they were able to finally get up and get on a plane for home. All in all a pretty dreadful trip! But Mj will be fine thank God.

An addition to this great list… In the Thanksgiving Day election I St Vincent, the leader of 24 years, who seems a lot like Trump, was voted out by an enormous margin. The Democrats are finally in power!! Apparently people in St Vincent follow news in the US closely so I see this as another rebuke of the orange monster. Yay!

Oh my gosh another great one! Thank you for posting!

Sorry your child was sick. What is worse than being sick on a long trip with air travel? Not much.

I like the concert "pig" hit on tRump but fear that it's totally unfair to pigs.

Haha true.

I'm especially loving the growing number of examples of republicans in elected office growing spines!

I, too, heard from the NYT re: their article on trump's aging (I had sent a letter months ago as well). I'm sure all our emails about this got their attention! Thanks as always, Jess!

Jess Craven's avatar

Love it! I think they did!

Oh no! I am so sorry MJ was sick. What a bummer. Hope she is better now.

You too, Dave!

Apologies if I missgendered MJ.

Jess Craven's avatar

Oh please don’t worry. It’s so easy to do. Even my mom gets it wrong half the time. ❀️

So does my friend who has lived with it for her son for years and I caught they caught her out on it recently, she says, get over it kid, I’m your mother!

Hi Jessica,

This is Diane in Nyack, NY. This morning at Grace Episcopal Church, the priest spoke against gender based violence - apparently, the Dioscese is making statements on this issue. Good!
