At 0447 this morning, @FXMoore and I became great-grandparents for the first time. Our wonderful grandson in Maine found himself a fabulous wife who has gifted him a perfect girl child on this cold Maine morning. Sophie Jean, 6 pounds, excellent health, a beauty like her mother!
27 years ago, when that grandson was born to us, we were sailing in the tropics. I dreamed in the night that I had painlessly birthed a baby boy. When I woke, I knew my grandson must have been born in Maine, because the only way to birth painlessly is if someone else does it 4U.
This great-grandchild hasn't ruined my figure a bit!
OMG I tagged the wrong tag! That's not my husband! I'm so sorry, whoever you are, and it's probably some young person, not nearly great-grandfather age! #MyBad! The proud great-grandfather is @FXMoore2

After all the lies, when the dust finally settles, the truths will be known. The #WH doctors have been lying for #Trump, but we knew that. How disappointing some people are. Yeah, they snatched him back from the jaws of death and then lied. 1/2 nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/…
And then after they pulled him back from the brink of death, they allowed him to make speeches saying "I feel great, don't fear the virus, & it won't hurt you". So, that's a lousy career those dozen docs are having. Worse than the doc who #technored#MichealJackson while he died.
I was at the UN right after the #GulfWar. I had something dreadful to say abt #SaddamHussein on a daily basis, which he deserved b/c he invaded #Kuwait. The Iraqi media compared me to an unparalleled serpent. I happened to have a snake pin, and wore it to my next meeting on Iraq.
The press asked me about it, I thought, “Well, this is fun.” On good days, I wore flowers butterflies & balloons, on bad days, all kinds of bugs & carnivorous animals, as an additional way of expressing what I was saying a visual way to deliver a message.
I had an arrow pin that looked like a missile. When we negotiated the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty the Russian foreign minister asked, “Is that one of your missile interceptors you’re wearing?” And I responded, “Yes. We make them very small. Let’s negotiate.”
#FashionPoliceAlert! Oh! Beautiful Congresswoman @RepStaceyPlaskett appears at the #ImpeachmentTrial all in #CaribbeanBlue, adorned with treasures from the tropical sea, pearls galore and a big beautiful Larimar dinner ring, found only in the Caribbean! plaskett.house.gov
And of course, she's from the #USVI! I'll show you a photo when one comes out, I can't find one yet!
Oh! Congresswoman @RepStaceyPlaskett of the #USVI showed us posts in which #DomesticTerrorists informed each other that #Trump would prevent any #NationalGuardResponse to their incursion and so they would only have to overcome about 2000 #CapitolPolice, some of whom were 'girls'.
There is a pervasive bias against believing the symptoms and complaints of pain made by women & #POC. We were warned against it in nursing school, it was named as a reason why women's heart attacks are ignored. It's a real thing, but it's not the whole reason #POC are dying more.
"Black Americans are nearly five times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than white Americans" #POC are more likely to require hospitalization but that isn't the result of any bias in healthcare. That's another problem that needs to be analyzed. thehill.com/homenews/news/…
So #POC are infected with #Covid need supportive hospital care more often, they are three times more likely to become infected, #POC, they have less access to #healthcare & are more likely to be uninsured or underinsured. cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspecti…
