With what’s been going on in Charlottesville, Va., the past few days (and especially Saturday), I think we all need a break from the hateful. I’ll even not be snarky today.
Fuzzy bundles of love? Check.

I'm a retiree in his seventies. That may not be significant to many, since there is a bunch of us Baby Boomers around. However, in the year 2,000, when I received a diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma, I expected to be dead in three to five years.

My week started out with my divorce being final, which was enough to send me into the fetal position (at least mentally). Trump’s tweets about North Korea, and the news from Charlottesville were the cherry on top. Cute animal photos and a wonderful church service this morning were good for my soul.

Thanks. Going to a new church helped more than I expected. I was just Sarah – not the lady whose dad died and husband left her.

Sarah Kinsey Ricard I am sorry to read that you have gotten divorced because I know how painful it is–speaking from experience. I made the mistake of marrying the wrong person and I am still paying for it in some ways. I was the person who filed for divorce and told my wife she would have to move out because the house belonged to and was in my name. That was very difficult for me and I am in no hurry to get married again. Nor am I at all interested in playing the so-called “dating game” again either.

As for the events in Charlottesville, it probably wouldn’t do any good to remind the “white supremacists”(?) that their blood looks just like everyone else’s blood when we put it in a tube so we can run tests on their blood (said the man who works in a hospital). It is part of my job to make sure that the nurses have the right label for the right tube of blood and that they label the tubes properly before we send the blood to the lab for testing. Also, the same germs and the same diseases can kill these supremacists just as quickly and just as dead as everyone else but it probably wouldn’t do any good to remind them of that fact either.

Some people don’t seem to get that. Gosh, I hope they never need blood … or tissue (like the muscle tissue I received in my arm) … or organs …
