When my eldest son was a high school senior I told his friends that they were not to have any more of my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies until I saw at least one completed college application.

There were some that hadn’t planned to go because no one in their families had.

They all graduated from college and have successful careers.

These are good cookies. 😎

@corlin I hope he will be OK. He reminds me of my neighbor who got drafted into the Vietnam war. He comes across as angry and selfish but is harmless and lonely. He also drinks like a fish and I worry about him. One night I baked brownies and offered them to my neighbors. He was the only one who accepted.

Shit
Just found out a buddy of mine is back in hospital. I have spoken about him before, an older (82), retired Navy Chief, stubborn, and mean as hell. This time it is his diabetes. His blood sugar level spiked over 550, paramedics showed up, gave him some insulin, but it did not come down. Turns out he stopped taking a bunch of his adjacent medication. Because six months ago his pharmacy slightly overcharged him for one. Now this guy isn't near broke. He is just pissed off at the world.

CoSo:

We all know that only 3 times in its history has CoSo hit 100% funding for a month. And we all know that going PRO has great benefits. Plus maybe adding a bit to Donorbox to keep the lights on helps. But we have only 4 days left in the month. And we are at 47% funded.

Just saying.

Trump's rally in Arizona got cancelled.

His campaign has run out of money.

Which is why the RNC is raising money for him.
