She literally nearly died in my arms 2 years ago. And 1 year ago she had to be taken to hospital by helicopter.
    Yeah, that wasn't directed at you; I TOTALLY empathise with your mom's situation. We talk a big game up here in Canada about socialised medicine but the privileges we enjoy (especially here in Ontario) are on razor thin ice. And it's justified sometimes as "well, hey, at least you don't have it as bad as the USA".

    I then, sir, am sorry for the inference. I have a bad habit of taking and making things personal in this forum and it's something i'm trying to stop doing.

    End Drift.
    @theimage13 , we used to watch CBSN on roku, but now we have gone back to the roku apps where you click story by story.
    And it's really sad because we LOVE CBSN, but not as much as we hate hearing ANYTHING about trump.
    As i've said before, i gave trump a chance. When he made his first cabinet pick, the chance was over.

    I'll be honest, I didn't give him a chance. Even if you didn't know his twitter feed existed, this one instance was all it took for me to know that he has no business being a leader of any group at all, let alone one of the most powerful countries in the world. It's not the only reason (just one of hundreds), but it was all it took for me to lose any hope that maybe he wasn't so ignorant.



    Ladies and gentlemen, the 45th President of the United States of America.
