femmocrat's JournalI will work for one of them in the primaries and general.
We have a late primary, so not sure who I'm supporting, although I actually like them all.
I'm retired. We are working on remodeling our house with an eye on selling it and downsizing in a couple of years. What I really enjoy is spending time with my grandchildren. I don't see them often enough.
We have three dogs, two of whom are elderly and have health problems. They take a lot of my time. I'm glad I retired so I can care for them.

We have ADT. Most annoying set-up ever.
My husband wanted it. I hate it. It used to go off in the middle of the night with a horrible heart attack-inducing screech. One of the corgis' barking would set it off.
Sometimes it would go off from humidity in the basement. Or because of a spider web in the something-or-other.
I refuse to acknowledge that it is still here. He has all the dealings with it/them now.
Good for you for figuring out the damn thing!
I have predicted jeb all along.... and Kasich for his VP.
Of course I'm usually wrong.
I'm just posting this for my journal and future reference. 
How can a post just disappear?
Not deleted by author. Not hidden. Just gone?
Not sure I have seen that happen before. Thanks in advance for replies.
From another daughter of a WW II vet:
My dad served in the Pacific. My FIL served in Germany. All of my uncles (10 of them) also served in WW II or Korea. My grandfather was in WW I, in France. They have all passed away.

My question--- Will this affect the Kathleen Kane investigation? Wasn't the MontCo DA the one who brought charges against her for leaking grand jury testimony to a Phila. newspaper?
