Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D) is retiring from the Senateat this year, and

The Republicans are looking to pick up his Senate seat by electing Congresswoman Shelley Moore-Capito (R) to replace him.
You can be sure the Repubs will spend and do whatever they think is necessary to win that Senate seat.

Senator Warren has written her autobiography and will be

making appearances on many TV shows.
This will increase her visibility nationally.

I like her message and believe she is a great and fearless voice for the American people.

If you have the funds, provide him a one-time gift of cash (not a loan).

Enclose a note that you expect him to pass it forward when he can.

Do not take him into your home.

I have friends - not too many, but some, both men and women- who have never

embraced the computer technology.

I'm so glad I was working in a position that I learned as the industry progressed, beginning in the 80's when we used a "dummy" -in-house- system, which gradually progressed to the internet.
It also helped that my spouse was an IT specialist from its infancy, beginning in the 60's.

There was a consolation for your wife and her mother

that they were united at that moment of departure.
We lose that older generation and realize that now we are at the top of the family tree.

Rejoice in her memory.

Me, too. My motto is KISS-

Keep it simple, stupid.

In regard to technology, the "stupid" might be me.
I can understand the new when it's demonstrated, but unless it's replicated a few times then and there, I might not retain all the intricacies long-term.

No great loss.

Did he acknowledge you in any way?

Give it a few more tries, then just let it go if no acknowledgement.
You'll know it isn't something you did; it's him.

A beautiful orchid plant, which will last much longer than cut flowers.

I've given and received them, to older single women.
They really are elegant.

Judas was (believed to be) the "treasurer" of the group of Apostles.

Accordingly, he took the pieces of silver offered for turning Jesus over to the accusers.

It has been posited that Judas believed that Jesus, who had performed public "miracles", would be capable of saving himself, by one means or another, when necessary.

When Judas recognized that Jesus was not going to save himself, Judas realized what a terrible mistake he had made and took his own life.

Regarding suicide, that of Judas or any other, leaving aside those with an obvious mental illness, many believe that at the instance of death, the person is given a last opportunity to choose to be with God or not. Since we living do not know the final choice made by Judas or any other deceased, we cannot say Judas, or Hitler, or any other human is definitely in hell.
