I have been letting the f bombs fly, too. I'm at the point where I'm ready to "bless the heart" of anyone who gets in the way of my freedom of speech (and every single other freedom) but I don't anticipate losing my cool.

That's one thing that I've always been known for, my patience. I've also set some major boundaries with "undesirables" so I'm feeling good about that.

You're so right about this. "The camraderie of the DU community helps get through the day." Thanks so much for your reply.

Love you! ❤️
