One (last?) time, please call your Senators about healthcare

Hi, Senator! Could you please NOT take away Jennette's healthcare? Thanks!It's hard to plan your life when you don't know if you're losing your job or not. Ever since Election Day, I knew the Affordable Care Act was in danger, and if the ACA goes away I go out of business. This is a direct cause and effect relationship.

I may lose my life or my livelihood if you don’t call your Senators today

The Big Move: The who, what, when and why, why, oh why?

U-Haul moving boxesOn a Saturday ten days before the movers were scheduled to come, I threw my back out while packing, which is the 10th worst day to throw your back out. I rested on the couch all day Sunday and was feeling good enough by Tuesday to push a box across the floor, because I thought... [Read More]
