"Rep. DesJarlais has made everything in his 4 terms about partisan politics. In the meantime, TN families have watched hospitals close, roads crumble, and wages stagnate. Early voting is underway."

"Around 100 million people didn't vote in 2016. That's not acceptable. We can change that by making sure we bring someone to the polls with us. Our family voted together this year because we know there is too much at stake to be on the sidelines." @Mariah4Congress #COTD #TN04
#FridayFeeling's #COTD @Mariah4Congress is running in #TN04.

The GOP incumbent, Scott Desjarlais, is staunchly pro-life, except in the case of his mistress getting pregnant. Then he's not only pro-men's choice, he pays for abortions.

Yes. Plural.

This is my problem.
I should never type before finishing my third cup.

1/ My husband is officially 6 months cancer free, according to last week's bone marrow biopsy.

He had a stem cell transplant for AML last June.

The day he was diagnosed, his white count was 135k. (Normal is between 4k-11k.)
2/He went into respiratory failure, had a heart attack, was put on life support, and as he crashed, I was told his prospects were "not good" by his doctor.

I was told over the phone, because COVID was in full swing on 1/13/21, the day he got sick.

I could not be with him.
3/ To everyone's shock and delight, he woke up 3 days later.

He was in the hospital for 3 weeks, getting his first round of chemo, scared and alone. I was not allowed to be there. Because of COVID.

This was when vaccinations were mostly for people who worked in healthcare.

1/ At the height of the COVID epidemic first wave that hit the original ground zero, Seattle, Washington, my husband volunteered to work as an ICU doctor instead of seeing patients virtually in his practice. We took a large financial hit, but it was 100% worth it...
2/ Later that year, he was diagnosed with AML, a type of cancer that nearly killed him the same day he was diagnosed. I couldn't be with him while he was hospitalized because of COVID. I couldn't be with him while he underwent treatment because of COVID...
3/ I stupidly thought that once vaccines were available, we were going to be able to breathe a sigh of relief while the rate of infection decreased. I thought we'd be able to see our kids again without worrying about him getting COVID.

BREAKING: Don Lemon has figured out how to pickle rioting and disorder.
I wonder sometimes if I'm the only one who gets me or if my jokes are just truly god awful.

This doesn't have to be an "either/or" situation, I suppose. 🤣🤣🤣

1/ Totally disagree. I grew up in one of the most racist, segregated places in America. When I got to college, my first dorm mate was a black woman. There were no black people in my town. None. My parents weren't racists, but the culture I grew up in was.
2/ If I hadn't gone to college, met new people, had new experiences, taken African American history, etc, I probably would have stayed in that racist town, married some Republican, and popped out some racist kids to perpetuate the cycle.
3/ Instead, I met my husband, who moved to my college town (Ohio State which has its own problems with race, but compared to where I grew up, is practically a socialist utopia) from Puerto Rico. My second husband's father is Iranian. No chance I would have met them had I not left

What am I baking today? (Part one of two…see thread.)

First one to answer correctly gets…something, I haven’t figured it out yet. Open to (reasonable)suggestions.
What am I baking today, part 2.
Update # 1: it's not banana bread.

However, if you have a banana bread recipe that includes dutched chocolate, I want it!

11 hours.

That's pretty fast but it's hard to believe it took longer than the time it takes to write "fry him".
Sorry, if you aren't near a screen right now, the verdict is in in the Chauvin trial.

Also, I'd like to know how you aren't near a screen right now.
Yes, they've reached a verdict.

No, we don't know what it is yet.
