2. Oh yeah! Same vintage, similar story. I hear you.

I was taking care of family who were heading to the exit through the first years of the mango menace up to the beginning of the pandemic. Rough in spots, but oh I miss them. This time I am on my own and can scream without scaring anyone. I do.

And I gather with good folks and protest 3 days a week. It makes us all feel better to be together.

Like here on DU. Sending fierceness!
