As I have discussed before I had a biopsy that came out positive on a lump in my armpit. I had breast cancer back in 1998, I had six positive lymph nodes in my armpit. They put me on a clinical trial that included a LOT of chemo. I found a lump in my armpit like six months ago and the breast clinic kept checking it every three months until this last time when the doctor wanted to do a needle biopsy on it. Surgery is in two weeks. So I was painting outside, for me painting is meditative. I started thinking how if I was to check out I wanted to be sure I left this world a better place for my kids and grand kids. That was at the top of my list.
This leads me to a story I read this morning about Putin and how he might be quite ill. So what does he do? He invades Ukraine, tears up the lives of millions of children, and Trump still calls him a genius. That is pretty outrageous, that one thing he wants to do is tear up lives, for his own glory. Trump knew this was on his list of things to do and does not care. How pro life could they possibly be? These people get away with claiming they are pro life. That kind of pisses me off. I am very much pro choice, but I would certainly want to leave this world a better place for my kids and they have no concern at all. How do they get the support of so called Christians.

And, so glad to hear your pet scan showed good news.
As for your last question - good one.

I went to a Southern Baptist church for 10 years, so many good people there, then a Methodiest church, again many wonderful people. I always felt the Repugs just used them and they were too trusting. If you never met a con man, then you would not know what one looked like.

(6,231 posts)During the protests of Civil Rights, Vietnam War & Woman's Rights repubs appealed to the Christians to end abortions for their votes. These Christians have been voting repub ever since. They ignore what repubs are doing to end abortions. This is pretty much a given. Then they will move on to contraception and LGBTQ rights. Take them at their word.

(109 posts)They started railing against contraception. If I remember right it was Rick "the prick" Santorum that went there concerning contraception. Some consider birth control pills a form of abortion. The pro life people know simply brush that off, I tell them about the opposition to contraception and they do not seem to care. That is what gets me, how single issue they are, I have always said they would vote for Adolph Hitler if he claimed to be pro life.
