| Well, given the latest turn, I fully support your doing your best to swim. It's OK to fall a few times along the way; that is how you learn. Start small, build up. Best wishes for success! |

Nope, I am not talking about his looks or style. lol Former President Trump is a man who can stand upright and who commands respects.✊ Trump was one of the few standing up against that plandemic. Covid was sold as a v... |

| I hadn't considered the factor Juliette brought in, but it does make sense to me. My son is only lightly affected by his ASD, but he has always had strong associations with specific locations. Schoolwork belonged at school, for example, so homework was always a huge hurdle. In college, when he had t... |

| I feel like your post covered the bases of possibilities and I don't know how to decide which it most likely is. I suggest you keep visiting on a regular and predictable schedule but plan on short visits. Let him know by showing up with no expectations that you care, and will always love him uncondi... |

| According to library “American Jews tend to favor Democratic candidates, with 71% of Jewish voters choosing Democratic candidates on average and 25% choosing Republicans since 1968. “ That tracks with my personal experience.
