    This day always makes me sad. As most of us who were around this fateful day i can remember every aspect of that day. I know we should never forget but I hate reliving it. Such a sad day. Prayers for all who died, prayers for all who are still affected by that tragic day. God bless all first responders. God bless all of our military who make it possible for me to live in a wonderful country. God bless you all and God bless this beautiful country.

    I know people who are vaxed got COVID both mild and bad. I know people unvaxed like myself who got it bad and who got it mild. My wife it vaxed I choose not to. I had COVID. symptoms started black Friday and it kicked my ass for 3 weeks. It's was scary as hell. My wife begged to take me to the hospital. I said no i die here or recover and by the grace of God I did. I don't know what the answer is but I'm living life any carrying on. But I will not live scared. And it was the second time I had it.

    Do people not understand the it's not a pandemic anymore it's an endemic. COVID is the flu and the common cold it will keep mutating. Like the cold and flu every year we will get a new strain. Maybe my opinion but that seems to be how it's playing out. Vax no vax it ain't going to matter. We will be living with this for the rest of our lives.

    It's amazing to me that you have to learn so much about history and our political system to take the test. But everyday our woke, triggered, dog whistled, whatever you call it society tries to rewrite not perfect at times but rewrite our history and paint it as racist and oppressive. The thing about history it's just that history. We need to learn from our past and move forward together.

    A couple years ago I went to a bears game at at half time. They swore in like 30 people as US citizens. It was absolutely beautiful. The whole stadium erupted. Not many dry eyes. Me and my wife sponsor a man who's been here for 11 years doing everything right shows up to court pays taxes. He is married with kids. The hoops he has had to go through and the lawyer costs. I could see why people just try to sneak in.

    Imagine a very skinning red headed billie illsh type. Combat boots one day and then a weird low cut see through dress the next. Her and her dad were walking down the street just because it was nice out. So they get to the end of the cul-de-sac side and the 80 something year old man sitting in his garage whistles at them. She lost her shit. And Henry her father said it took everything he had to keep her from going after him. Poor guy won't even glance at her now. And when he sees Jen the mom and Henry walking he shuts his garage and won't even engage them. It's amazing to me because she's never been outside her little social bubble of friends who have the same mentality. Henry told me he would be surprised if she can even hold a job anywhere. She just so confrontational all the time. I'm mean there are all sorts of people in this world and some are assholes. Some have very very different opinions then you. Or live a very different life style. She is going to struggle. I know she had been applying for 9 to 5 jobs. For most of highschool up until now she dresses up for kids parties as sponge Bob, darth vader, disney princesses. She loves it and is very good at it. But the only reason I think why is she gets to pretend to be something sees not. Otherwise she is socially handicapped.

    Something happened about a week ago. The mother got after her for not getting basic chores done. I know they gave her doing dishes and taking garbage and recycling out every Friday. Well here comes garbage man and Jen the mom has to race out to get the cans to the curb. And then gets after Rachel for it. Jen takes the keys for her car and says no car for awhile. She proceeds to go nuts and starts breaking shit in the house. And then according to kinda what they told us. Tried to hang herself in the basement. They said she's done that before. She kinda does the over dramatic acting out. And make them scared of her repercussions if they punish her. Yes she is on medication. I know that for sure because they have told me. They are getting through her graduation and giving her a grad party and as much as it is breaking there hearts telling her it's time to go. It's really tearing the house apart. There 2 older grown kids just flat out refuse to come over anymore. Unless assured she won't be home. They actually had 2 fatherday get togethers. I can't imagine living like that everyday.
