@boundlesshopes I'm one of those people who can better express myself in writing than in person, trying to talk to people. But if we write & can get people to read it, it's a form of being heard, isn't it?

@JerasIkehorn Real Christians aren't ruining it, but what I call the show-offs certainly are not helping. REAL Christians practice kindness, generosity, patience, tolerance, & acceptance. They could help us save the country.

@madrid_mike Perhaps he thinks it's too late for Abbott but he might still get to DeSantis? Or maybe he likes Beto better than he likes Charlie Crist. Or (I hope, I hope) he thinks Beto has it made, but Crist needs help. Last I heard, I think Beto's numbers were better.

@RonFilipkowski I'm betting on a very small portion. Like when he first started his campaign & he went on a Navy ship & claimed to have raised $5M for the veterans. They waited for the $ that didn't arrive & he finally had to be shamed into writing the check. He wrote it for $15,000.

@PKramerica I don't think the party gave him much choice. The "Me too" movement was at its peak, & he paid dearly (as did his state) for a childish mistake of his wild youth. & yet Kavanaugh did much worse & didn't pay. Do you think maybe party affiliation had something to do with it?

@JRobFromMN I do not believe in capital punishment at all. 2 reasons: 1. It is too lenient for someone who has done something horrible. Dying is easy. Incarceration for the rest of your life without parole or pardon is worse. 2. There is always a chance of a mistake. We've killed wrongly b4.

@KaylaChowShow "I care too much." Right up there with "Good Christian" & "Concerned Citizen." I've learned that when people describe themselves in one of these ways, it's seldom true. If they want to impress me, follow the writer's rule -- show, don't tell.

@AJWinters94 Young man, "adorable" is not a statement of your size, masculinity, or net worth. It transcends all that. Women use the expression more than men do, & it means -- literally -- that you're a person worthy of adoration. That is one huge compliment! You should learn to bask in it.

@smerobin I used to do that when I drove a small car that was easier to maneuver that way. It's done because so many parking lot accidents -- possibly most of them -- are caused by people backing out & can't see someone coming. Newer cars w/ cameras have probably cut that statistic down.
