14. Hi samplegirl,

Thu Nov 15, 2018, 03:08 PM

Nov 2018

You live in NE Ohio, if I remember correctly? Me, too.

Nothing made my blood boil more than when my well - off relatives would make mean spirited jokes about Democrats and poor people. You have lots of sympathy here. It's unfortunate how arrogant and bigoted the right wingers have become. I'm sorry your brother treats you like that. We sure are in a dark time in our nation's history right now, but hopefully we'll be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel very soon! I would be proud of you if you were in my family!
