my sister is running. here is du's chance to make small change into big change.

ok, folks. the time has come for the kaching kaching.

the website is still getting tweaked, so let me know if anything weird happens, or if anything isnt apparent.
please go to the menu, and read the position pieces.

https://sheila4dupage6.org

we do suggest amounts, but anything you can do will help a lot.
we dont need a lot to get through the primary, so small change really can help us make big change.
and remember- the bottom of the ticket CAN AND WILL help the top of the ticket. if she gets on the nov ballot, every voter she brings out is a voter that will vote to send peter ro-scum off to spend more time w his family.

if you cant help w money, please knr.


ps- the writing is all mine. so anyone who wonders if my shift key works will see that, like it says on my resume, i went to good catholic schools, know the rules of grammar, and use them for my clients.

pps- it would be great if people went to the "get involved" page, and sent her a note of encouragement.

my son thinks he is a sovereign citizen.

le sigh.
he is in cook county jail. he got nabbed speeding in wis, and decided it was a good idea to try to outrun the cops.
he blew off his court dates, of course. i dont know how he got picked up, but presume he got caught pretending the traffic laws dont apply to him.

his public defender begged him to ask for extradition to wis, instead of going to cook county jail. but no.
he actually tried to play that shit in court. and his gf almost joined him in jail for yelling at the judge. (she paid his $1500 bail w money she couldnt really afford to lose.)

have no idea what is going to happen to him in jail. but sorta hoping he has a full on meltdown, and gets kicked to the psyche ward. i had to have him picked up twice just recently. the first time he got 72 hours, but the second time he was able to get out after a night in the er.
i just hope that he isnt traumatized by more than 30 days w no weed.

i always thought those people had real issues. now i know they do.

should du have a singles forum?

i remember back in the day several couples who started out here in the lounge, and got married.
it's a different time now, and trolls would prolly be thick. it seemed like a perfect way to find the right person, tho.

i am trying to do dating in my 60's, and it seems insurmountable. not interested in anyone who isnt a dyed in the wool liberal.
not real interested in online dating forums. i at least think that here just sticking your head up would not result in a deluge of dick pics. i could be wrong, i guess.

anywho. anyone else?

any opinions about email blast/contact capture companies?

thinking of using mailchimp for my sister's campaign. but we had darn well better exceed the free levels. it is prolly gonna cost us $25/mo by the time we get to the primary.

anyone have any experience w other services?

so who grows dwarf heirloom tomatoes?

looking through the selection at http://www.victoryseeds.com/tomato_dwarf.html

my head is spinning a bit.
i have grown them for several years thanks to NRaleighLiberal.
i have a couple faves.
to be honest, i mostly grow them for my annual plant sale, where they are pretty popular for the many small and balcony gardens in the hood.
but i grow a few to get a little more variety out of my larger but still limited space.

which ones would you want to grow?
