Doll, you warm me up every time that we are together.

The pool of blood was putting pressure on her heart and blood vessels. They were able to stop the bleeding on the second attempt and a follow-up surgery was necessary to evacuate the accumulated blood.

Her medications made this a tricky thing to do. Some necessary medications had to be postponed and risk the complications. They later discovered that there was a leak from a small blood vessel under her skin and the blood was pooling.

Four years ago and still thank God for giving me "ME".

There are some people who say that the people in the United States will face hardships but it will be good in the long run.

My bullshit meter went wayyy... off the scale.

Those same people have not, and will not experience hardship, financially, legally, or influentially.

But the failure will come after years of effort and at great cost. The cost will be in many forms. Financial costs of many kinds, social costs, the cost to the principles of our country, and the cost of damaged foreign relationships.

It may make great sound bites and headlines, but lousy policy.

Where a great number of people on the criminal and enforcement side became influential and wealthy but the goal of eliminating the production and consumption of alcohol was never achieved?

If the goal is to achieve zero undocumented people then it is doomed to fail. - more

What is the endgame?
A lot has been said about deporting illegal aliens. By all accounts this is projected to be a very big project. But, what is the end game? At what point will this be considered successful and completed?
Will this be a repeat of prohibition - more

My (separated) wife Laura is in recovery in Corewell hospital following a shoulder replacement. Everything seems to be fine. She will be admitted for a couple days while an appropriate skilled nursing facility can be retained.

Matthew W. Huttle, who served time for his role in the Jan. 6 attack and was pardoned by Donald Trump, was shot and killed by a Jasper County sheriff’s deputy during a traffic stop in Indiana following an altercation with the officer.

Police say Huttle was armed and resisted arrest.

For most of us it defines the person's:
Choice of toys
Clothing
Games
Friends
Attitudes
Love interests
Career
and moral beliefs, among others.

The presence of an "F" on the birth certificate effectively disqualifies a person from becoming POTUS. 3/3

"Congratulations, it's a boy" is the expression of that opinion. Here's where it gets weird: That opinion, based on the hasty observation of the child's genitalia carries enormous weight throughout that person's life. 2/3

Sex Assigned at Birth
Doctors are not prophets. Their domain is medicine. Their faith or lack thereof is immaterial. A person's "sex assigned at birth" is no more than the opinion of a person based on observation of the newborn's external characteristics. 1/3

It's 7° here in beautiful downtown Warren. I do NOT want to go sledding.

If it was my call, you aced the test.

Federal agencies may soon treat transgender women as males. Cisgender women will continue to be regarded as women. Consider the transgender women who have had breast augmentation surgery.

I suppose that the (former) trans women can legally go topless anywhere that cisgender men can go topless.

If a sport's rules require discrimination then the rules should provide for non-discrimination. This may be through measurable things like weight classifications in wrestling.

Her surgical site is uncomfortable but not painful.

She is incredible!

My lover, my fiancee, my world, had total hip replacement surgery last Tuesday. She is walking around the house, helping with the cleaning, and climbing the stairs to our bedroom. It has been just ONE WEEK!

Me with my fiancee Francessca.

I'm ready for friends, food, and foolishness.

Life is good, I thank God for giving me "ME"
