I'm not dead yet! I don't want to go into the cart!!! I feel happy!!!!

Hi Everybody!

Haven't been around these here parts in some time so I thought I would pop in and say hi!

I haven't been spending much time on a computer or anything, been dealing with a
health issues that take up most of my time and energy, and leave me ill fit for socializing lol!

I was watching this cluster of a primary and couldn't help but stop by so I dragged the ol' laptop somewhere moderately comfortable and sit here waiting for these results to come in.

I will say one thing, staying away from politics helped keep my spirits up, I almost was able to forget what a state our nation is in, hahaha!

I hope you all have been doing great!

Hope you're doing as well as you can be.

I vowed to stay out of the horse race myself, but here I am. Solidarity and all that.

Take good care and don't be a stranger!

No surprise the dimwit party tried to steal Iowa from Bernie. Stupid Mayo Cheat gave away the game when he declared victory, thinking the app had worked in his favor as they all planned. Bernie and the gang must be diligent. I'm sure they had people watching the vote count and lawyers on the ground. Fkn dimwits - they can't help themselves.

Thanks everybody!

They are showing the popular vote is in Bernie's favor but that Pete is leading by just over 1%

I find that hard to believe.

Biden being in 4th makes me feel better though, lol

Funny, was just thinking of you as I was reading last nights Iowa fiasco — and all the good times we had during your ots for the last “election”. Was wondering how you were and here you are. So glad you popped in. Take good care if yourself.

3 years ago you promised me we would drink beer on your boat. I'm waiting.

@Alligator Ed Well, I still got the boat but haven't been able to drink in over two years. (hmmm, about the same time I stepped away from politics, I knew I had to be drunk for this shit. lol!)

You may have to navigate back though, I don't go out solo anymore because I ended up stuck in a ball in the bottom of my boat for about 4 hours unable to move, lol so I don't get out much anymore. Wink

Starting a new treatment at the end of the month so hopefully that will get me more mobile and less pain. (Fingers crossed even though I don't believe in that stuff) Biggrin

My family is getting a lot of help from medical marijuana. If you aren't using it, you might consider it, since it's now possible to do it legally.

Though y'all have truly beautiful land. Both VA and MD do. No wonder early settlers thought they'd reached a Promised Land. Gorgeous land, great climate (as long as you don't mind *some* snow.)

@on the cusp Thank you, it's more a matter of symptom management at this point barring some advances in stem cells or something but I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon, lol!

Wow they let Bernie on CNN and so far he seems fired up, gave the DNC a tad of shit so far, I hope he brings it up again.

He also emphasized that their internal numbers or something had him winning. (It cut to him part way through.)

Then of course they cut right away after about 2 minutes for more talking heads.
