If I ever get to the point where I'm incapable of taking care of myself I'm just going to do the ultimate act.
I will NEVER allow myself to become enmeshed in the guardianship trap, which enriches those who prey on the helpless and elderly, and leave them in poverty, and squalor.
This is absolutely shameful and NYC isn't the only place where it happens. Guardianship should be ruled illegal and dismantled.

In 2022, Maine had the same problem that the US now faces-to return to the 'same old, same old' by electing Paul LePage (Maine's version of Donald Trump) or to re-elect Janet Mills.
Just about the same problem we're now facing.
Let me tell you, we're better off for not having elected LePage, whose hateful, divisive style was awful:https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/03/12/opinion/opinion-contributor/maine-not-paul-lepage-us-same-decision-donald-trump-joam40zk0w/
We should not go back to the same old hateful man who despises our country.
This is a story of a female doctor who almost became a statistic of maternal mortality.
The US has the highest maternal mortality rate in the industrialized world.
And she survived the horror of her C section delivery by only a miracle of teamwork and luck.
Don't read if you're squeamish. Do read if you want to get a reality check on how women die from 'normal' conditions in childbirth when they're actually too old to have children safely.

@a33bc735 I wonder if Jack Smith should submit a request to have her removed to the 11th circuit court due to her unnecessary delays. This is not at all in the due process of a 'speedy trial' and only reinforces the idea that she's not up to being the judge in this case. Remove her and we might see it move faster. I hope Smith does that. Soon.
I guess that we won't have a government shutdown after all-the house approved a bill to fund the government for 45 more days.
Then we get to do this all over again. I'm getting so tired of this nonsense and drama. Let's vote the Republicans out of office and end this hostage taking shit.

@a33bc735 Did anyone ever expect any better from the moron? She's got the hots for Trump and she's going to let him off. Jack Smith should ask for a change of judge. Any judge.
Today for the first time in many, many months, I've started wearing my N95 mask in public again.
Why?
Because of this: https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/18/health/coronavirus-variant/index.html
Until the next booster is available, take care. This is not over by a very, very long shot.
