Honestly dogs are my saving grace. Here’s one of my babies…

Or just watch the Westworld series.

But Jen! God will never give a person more than they could handle! I don't know what alternate reality people who say this live in, but in this world I've seen countless people absolutely shattered by their early life experiences.

Being a survivor of a number of sexual predators as a child, as well as suffering years of physical and emotional abuse by my mother's second husband, I find it difficult to imagine a supposedly benevolent god who would allow these things to be brought upon an innocent being.

Do I sound angry? Good, because I am. I left organized religion many moons ago after seeing so much hypocrisy and secrecy just in the little church my family attended. And as for my belief in God?

But don't you dare force me to follow in your footsteps or remove my constitutional rights because they don't fit into your "Christian" belief system.

The people who wrote Project 2025 want to shove their religion down our throats. You want to practice a particular faith? Great, everyone in this country is given that right per our Constitution so do your thing.

And this whole holding a prayer service during working hours at a government institution? I don't know if anyone else felt all "red flags" about this move, but I sure did. But Jen! Attendance is voluntary! Uh huh, sure. For now.

It would be great to know exactly HOW you’re fighting back. Things are deteriorating quickly in this country and I don’t see much happening from many of you when it comes to stopping this slide downward.

I needed to hear this today.

I reached out to a vendor to let them know that their product came to me rusted from packaging that had gotten very wet. Both the original order and the replacement order when I returned the first one. He was pissed and also said that Amazon takes 40% of his profit. Talk about highway robbery.

I chose not to have kids for many reasons; fear of them experiencing the same abuse I did, adding another carbon footprint to this already encumbered world, etc. I've been told, just wait, the baby itch will kick in (it didn't), that I would never know real love and all other kinds of BS.
