October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month so please get a mammogram! Breast cancer affects both women and men, of all ages and all family histories. I had my 1st earlier this year, and it was easy! My tech, pictured here, made my first one very easy and painless with her great sense of humor. 😀

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence.

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

The DeSantis regime will do more to protect sidewalks from chalk than children from bullets.
The DeSantis administration currently has at least seven Florida Highway Patrol troopers just on anti-chalk duty: Two watching from a Dunkin Donuts next door and five more parked in the lot right behind them.

If you are a person who regularly donates items for food banks, please also consider adding cake mix and icing for birthday cakes and period products. Both make life infinitely nicer for folks who need something nice.
