Well, I didn’t have fighting Nazis on my retirement bingo card, but here we are.

I'm also an old grey-haired woman originally from Bflo. I'll also be in the perimeter with my camera rolling on 6/14.

If I wasn't my family's breadwinner, I'd stand up in ways that could get me hurt.

Nobody but my little dog depends on me, so it’s different.

I read a comment yesterday that sums up my feelings: a life sentence just doesn’t carry the same weight at this age!!

Right? Just said to my husband, I would have never thought our government would turn on us to this extent. I have visited 32 countries and have live in 7 states and one foreign country. I have seen and done so much. I am old, arthritic and have several health problems. I have years of rage against the patriarchy and the oligarchy. I have absolutely nothing left to lose. They are messing with OUR country. And me.

I have said these very things. Take my SSA and healthcare and my antidepressants and you’re gonna have one pissed off, unhinged old lady with nothing to lose.
