I'm getting prepared...

I’m an Uber driver but I’ve recognized that there are risks. And it’s becoming less profitable. So I’ve been looking for other opportunities.

And I’m getting to old.

And there’s the issue of my husband. He’s from Honduras. He has Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

I signed up to tutor English online.

And I just saw a video online where a Venezuelan woman who had TPS until Trump cancelled it. Her husband had voted for Trump. She had been in the process of getting permanent residency and then citizenship and she was deported.

So if he has to leave some time after July 25th when Honduras TPS is set to expire, I will have a job that I can do anywhere along with getting my Social Security.

So it’s a start. I will refine it as I go. Feel free to share with your friends:

Granddaughter gets revenge on bully

My 13 year old granddaughter who is in 8th grade, smaller that almost everyone her age with learning disabilities and possibly a bit autistic, has been bullied by a boy for quite some time and got revenge on him.

My daughter told me she had to spend 2 1/2 months in disciplinary alternative school. I asked her what happened.

She said my granddaughter had created a fake profile of the bully on Facebook. Then she found a picture of someone suffering with micropenis and sent it from that account to all his friends as if the bully was sending it.

Not sure how they identified my granddaughter as the suspect but they interrogated her for about 2 hour until she confessed.

Of course the school called my daughter and told her they could have had her prosecuted for distributing pornography. Of course my daughter had to keep a straight face and take it seriously but secretly found it amusing and felt like the bully got what he deserved. He ended up changing schools and she ended up being a little more popular with the other kids because the boy had bullied quite a few other kids.

I know she shouldn’t have done this but I can’t help thinking that was a creative way to take care of a bully and also being a little amused. It’s not nearly as bad as the kids who come to school with a gun and shoot their bullies.

What do you think? One of the reasons she did it was because the school was doing nothing about her being bullied.

Something interesting about Kamala "turning black "

I had a discussion with a couple of college students. One of them said that she thought Trump as confusing Kamala with Nikki Haley. This actually makes sense. Nikki Haley actually has always been Asian.

I completely missed this


Cathy Jordan, ‘patron saint’ of medical cannabis in Florida, dies at the age of 74

Cathy Jordan, who credited medical cannabis for keeping her alive for decades after she was diagnosed with ALS, died on July 4 at her home in South Florida at the age of 74.

…..

Originally from Delaware, Jordan was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease,” in 1986. Patients typically live for two to five years after symptoms develop but Jordan lived for 38 years after her diagnosis.

She said everything changed for her while visiting Florida in 1989, when a friend offered her a strain of cannabis called Myakka Gold.

“I smoked it and I felt the disease stop,” she told Dr. Andrew Weil in a scene shown in the documentary, “The Cathy Jordan Story.” She described how she smuggled that cannabis on a plane to Delaware. “I flew home that way, and my husband had a nervous breakdown because I was interstate transporting drugs, but I was convinced I was going to live.”

I had the privilege of meeting this courageous, awesome woman in 2000 on Journey for Justice while protesting mass incarceration at the state capitol and the governor’s mansion in Texas.

GOP Has Got To Go

I know it was made for the midterm but it’s still relevant.

Anyone else here from Houston -Got any storm stories?

My downstairs neighbor’s dog was blown off the patio clear over the fence in his doghouse. The doghouse broke in two pieces and the dog was scratching at the door to be let in.

Pretend it's a few years down the road

You are casting a movie about Donald Trump and all his trial and antics. Who do you cast for all the characters ?

Not sure about all of them, but I’m getting Ben Stiller to play Michael Cohen.
