I apologize that this is such a short post for one of these. I want everyone to know I really did try as hard as I could. I am exhausted and very tired to the point that Ron has twice looked into my office and caught me sleeping. I am also in a lot of pain. Because of that right butt / leg pain Ron is again asking me to figure out how we can afford the back / spine surgery. I am holding off hopeing that my pain doctors can do more epidurals/spine shots that will help me with that pain. I do not want spine surgery f I can avoid it. On the other side Ron held me today when he came back from his sister’s place and was very affectionate. I asked if he wanted to have “relations” tonight and his answer was a strong yes if you want to my love. So I need to finish this and go to bed to await my wonderful loving husband. Hugs
Ok maybe not the right place but with all the attacks by the right Christian nationalists I think it is a great place to put this. Far too many men / people are now in the closet and denying their true selves because of the hate being pushed against them. Us older LGBTQ+ people faced this hate before, this hate constantly driven by religious bigotry and we beat it / over came it. The haters are having a last gasp resurgence, but that will wane and fade as even the non radical right doesn’t support discrimination against their LGBTQ+ children / grandchildren / friends / exstended family. Hugs
I am at the allergists getting my shots. tRump long has said that he / his family are the true US royalty not the Kennedy’s which is why he has renamed and destroyed anything connected to the Kennedy name / family. When he visited Queen Elisabeth in England he insisted on a state royal visit like Obama got because he was equal to the queen and deserved it. In their inspection of the guard tRump cut in front of the queen and walked in front of her as more important. In his mind he was. Then he reportedly told her that his kids were equal in status as hers because they were US royalty making then princes and princess with him as king. So this thing with putting himself first and more important than anyone else is not new. TRump recently said he was the most powerful person doing more to make US great than anyone else due to his greatness and sheer force of will. No one corrects him and everyone constantly raises him so now he believes his own bullshit. Hugs
