{Who would block "voting rights" except kowtowed Republicans. It the equivalent to prostrating themselves on the ground and kissing Trump's feet.}

Go higher up to where they are kissing him. To put it in a more ladylike term, they are a bunch of brown nosers.

I fought getting a cell phone for years, and most definitely did not want a smart phone.

After I recently fell, causing online friends to again nag me to get a cell phone for emergencies, I broke down and got a small flip phone from Consumer Cellular. It comes with voice only, not text capabilities, and the CC plan costs a bit over eighteen dollar a month.

Reading articles like this one only makes me more positive to never go beyond what I bought to please friends. My Magicjack phone is still my preferred means of talking with long-distant friends and family. I do like my dumb phones. {grinning}

I often wonder what my 2004 surgery for a brain tumor actually cost if I had no medical insurance.

Spending two weeks in two different Kaiser Permanente hospitals and one week in a rehab facility must have been expensive. The only bill I received after was for the four ambulance rides at one hundred dollars each.

My Kaiser medical cost now is $75.00 a month and worth it.

Back in the mid 1960s, I was living in South Boston. A neighbor warned me never to bring my current boyfriend for a visit. The area where I lived was mostly Irish, and the boy I dated was Italian. Sounds silly now, doesn't it?

Anyone here remember watching the movie "Recount," which I have linked from IMDB here?

I find it difficult to understand why Joe's approval rate has fallen so quickly.

He is doing what previous presidents didn't do. He is ending a war in a country that has been going on way too long. He is doing all he can to get as many people as possible to safety. The previous president made it difficult, if not downright impossible, to extend the withdrawal of people after the end of this month.

I'm not sure what else our President Biden can do.

I am so, so happy I have Kaiser Permanente medical insurance. Back in 2004 when I had brain tumor surgery, I spent two weeks in two different hospitals and one week in a rehab center.

My total cost was only one hundred dollar for each of the ambulance rides. I hate to imagine what I would have had to pay if no insurance.
