I'm sorry for all of your troubles. I know what it is to have high standards but no longer be able to do it all myself. I am very surprised you're a liberal with all you describe, you don't seem airy fairy or lazy. There are a lot of people on here who are older and/or have physical issues. When you get to know them they're pretty awesome. Mikey is one of the best. He'll have fun triggering you but if you take the time to get to know him, he's a smart, interesting guy.
I AM NOT a liberal, I AM an American Conservative! My Conservatism is based on the positions the Founders had.
Ie; Jefferson was all about free edumacation. When he started what would become U of V it was his mandate that studying at his university would be FREE
Ben, mr syphilis, Franklin was a proponent of free medical care.
No I am not a proponent of free post k12 edumacation or medical care
But my five compass points of knowledge about all things health care knows not for profit single payer is the only system that controls costs, and returns control of health care back to patient and provider, with no other voices involved!
Yes I can reveal to you how little control you have over your health care.
Good ole GW, while the rest of the founders were arguing over whether we would have a monarch or not,(John Adams was pro monarch/king), GW walked away after 8yrs because he knew the longer someone stayed, the harder the would work to hold on to power, and he wanted to set āa standardā
As George Will said during his book tour last summer, the word American does allot of heavy lifting when it comes to Conservatism. I started using the term in the late 90ās when I would argue politics with a friend/neighbor, because itās different than the ?? Centuries old dictionary definition of conservative. Dictionary definition would have given us a king!
American Conservatism has to begin with unbridled freedoms that do no direct physical or financial harm to others.
If you canāt agree with the above, the YOU ARE NOT as American Conservatism, youāre just a Republican.
Republicans think they have been anointed to tell others how they are supposed to live their lives, ie the stupid, only enriched police organizations, attorneys, and for profit prisons, drug war! Taint nobodyās bidness if I want smoke pot. We have dui/dwi to deal with any driving issue.
Nobody is pro abortion, Iāve known many women/girls that had abortions, all of them carried great emotional pain as they aged. However, The Living God bestowed free will on EVERYONE, with zero limitations, other than the apple. For sure I know that when I stand before the Living God to answer for my behaviors.
(Jesus never said he was a gojfc) what my Bible reads is, āno one comes before the father but by meā. For sure the question I do not want to be asked is āby what authority did you deny any woman, Godās/MY gift of free willā
Mostly I just trust that that spirit lands in Jesus lap, and that when she stands before God he will punish the her according to HIS WILL.
One of the things that made me a very successful business manager was my ability for reading the real person, not that which they put forth. Few people are publicly that which they truly are.
You canāt be the true you if you concern yourself with what others think or say about you. Iād rather be alone than tolerate that which makes me cringe from others.
Triggering complete strangers is a person incapable of respect for others.
Unfortunately for others I have an insatiable appetite for information, matters not what it is. Iāve read 3 Jefferson biographies, 2 Franklin, one J Adams, I A Hamilton, 1 S Adams. Each one gave insights into the other signers.
Iāve never met a documentary/biography that doesnāt interest me.
All my life itās bugged people that I just new things, and they couldnāt figure out how I knew that, I just remember worthless and nformation, ie laying out stair stringers, laying out sewer lines.
I can build a house from trenching for the footing, to nailing down the peep cap;)
And pass every inspection, plumbing, electric, structural. And I have no formal training in any of them.
It bugs some people;(
