  • Look for this book, they probably have it at your local library.

    “Discover What You Are Best At” by Linda Gail.

    I was almost 30, out of work with an injury, when I learned about it. It’s a series of self tests you can finish in half a day, and an index of jobs that use those skills. For example, a paramedic and a hair dresser both need good dexterity and good people skills. Totally different jobs but a similar skill set. Jobs are divided up by training needed.

    It pointed me at a job I’d never considered.

    If nothing else, it’ll give you some ideas to ponder.

    History time.

    After the Kent State shootings, a lot of people stepped away from activism because they realized that marching could get them killed.

    I’d say the difference right now is that Kent state came out of nowhere; there’d been plenty of marches before with no problem. Trump has been tearing down the rule of law for a decade now.





  • History time.

    Back in the day, some Left women went to the Right To Life ladies and proposed an alliance.

    Nestle was going into Third World countries and giving out free supplies of baby formula. Except they’d only supply enough to make the mothers stop lactating; once mommy stopped producing milk she was forced to buy expensive formula.

    The Right To Life women were appalled and wanted to attack Nestle.

    Enter Ronald Reagan and the 11th Commandment. He told the women that Conservatives should stand united and not listen to the Left under any circumstances.
