Thanks for that, Yank...and good to see you, as always. Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney make me sicker than W and Cheney ever did....and that's pretty sick...because the Repubs have had a long time to prepare the way for their destruction of the middle class, beginning with Mitch McConnell's statement right after the election that he wanted the Obama presidency to "fail." Along with the Blue Dogs and the other half-baked Democrats, they've been doing a pretty good job of it, even though the President has put up a pretty good fight.
Thanks Catherine, so very glad to see you too!

I have had quite a year, Breast Cancer I diagnosis , free mammogram in February due to Affordable Healthcare Act (no out-of-pocket expenses from my insurance plan). Official diagnosis in March after MRI & biopsy, lumpectomy and lymph surgery in May, all clear margins and negative, I am now cancer-free!

I am doing preventative chemotherapy now, lost my hair, wearing fashionable satin headwrap

Will undergo radiation therapy after that, then I am done before 2013. I thank God and ACA everyday

Romney and Ryan will get kicked to the curb 2012, by millions of us
