Public service announcement:
Men (especially with any history of prostate cancer on both sides of family, even in 85 yo grandpas), get those prostates checked starting at 35.

It’s worth mentioning that said brother was 42, fit/healthy, ran multiple marathons per year when he was diagnosed w/ stage 4 prostate cancer.

My dad was a healthy72yo skier when dx with amyloidosis after a cardiac pre-op screen for carpal tunnel surgery.

Shit even happens to healthy people.

One course of my brother’s radiation alone was more than $200K.

My dad was on an orphan drug for amyloidosis that was more than $100K/year.

Our president is a clueless jackass.

I do not blame her one single bit for saying “hell, no.”

It is our collective loss, but I don’t blame her.

That’s the reason that my three oldest kids took it and passed it freshman year to get it out of the way, while other kids in the same district were seniors and on their 5th or 6th attempts.

They do! Pretty sure my fifth grader would wipe the floor with our president in a friendly match of constitutional trivia. And it is reinforced all through their schooling, culminating in the citizenship exam.

But again, if kids aren’t paying attention, it doesn’t matter.
