i try not to think of myself as a sick person. that powers me through often.

and then there are days like today, where several days of hard work (laying tile) has my back to the wall.
i did a few things that needed to be done today. now i am gonna take a damn nap.

at 62, it seems more like i am normal, just old. but i am pretty sure i could tough out old age a lot better than this.

i hate fibro.

who here is from dupage county? want to talk about the county board.

so, my sister has been asked to run for county board. dupage dems want to field one good candidate in each of the 6 districts. (there is one dem now)
she is still mulling, but of course i will be right there w her.

would like to ask folks from dupage to tell me what issues there are w the county board?
the board is mostly about zoning and water issues.
does anyone have an example of a better policy than the current status quo?

if you have cancer, chronic illnesses, brith defects, any other pre-existing conditions you can go fuck yourself.

wow, how they change their tunes when it is white people w a drug problem.

the russian campaign to crush american democracy- part 2.

what if electing cheato sporkhands was not the end game here for putin?
first- hack the election, elect a brainless idiot to the highest office in america

is there a part 2?
crush the puppet that you just elected. expose american democracy as a game for fools.
leave the u.s. in knots for at least 4 years, if not for a generation.

i think so.
you?

would you run for an office where you might be the only dem?

my sister is mulling a run for a county board seat. red county, tho trending a bit purple.
one dem, also a woman. 3 republican women. 18 member board.

county dems hoping to get one dem in each of the 6 3 member districts. they are fairly well financed, and have good data and active members.

board chair is a super asshole. voting integrity has been totally stymied.

would you do it?

eta- hillary took her district by 15%
