I'm glad he resigned. The man has got dementia. It was sad and horrifying to watch a man, the President no less, stumbling his words, made to look like a fool. They should have pulled him out ages ago, humanity cried out for it.
I hope now he gets the rest he needs, bless him.

He hasn't resigned, just dropped out.
Unless something else happens, he'll be president until January 20, next year..

Yeah, he's not exactly a calming influence..
Because our system has such separation of powers, it's not as bad as it could be.
Congress can stop much of what he wants to do, and the courts can too..
If he wins, he will rant and rave for 4 years, assuming he doesn't blow out his aorta or something..

In 2015, a courtroom reunion between Miami judge Mindy Glazer and defendant Arthur Booth, who were former middle school classmates, made headlines. Judge Glazer recognized Booth and recalled him as a promising young student, good at math and science, with aspirations to become a neurosurgeon. However, Booth's life had taken a different turn due to gambling, leading to debt, depression, and eventually addiction problems. At the time of their meeting in court, Booth had already served time in prison and was facing theft charges. Judge Glazer set Booth's bail at $43,000 or offered him one year in jail, expressing hope that he could turn his life around. This encounter had a profound impact on Booth, who was released from prison ten months later for good behavior. Motivated by Judge Glazer's words, he transformed his life. Booth managed to overcome his addictions and stayed away from gambling. He is now the successful manager of a pharmaceutical company, living in his own house, and continues to stay in touch with Judge Glazer, who he credits for changing his life. Upon his release from the Metro-West Detention Centre in Miami, Booth met Judge Glazer again as part of a court program. She encouraged him to find a job, get clean, and take care of his family, also urging him to make amends to his victims. Booth was inspired by Judge Glazer to make the most of his new lease on life and was sentenced to 10 years of probation as part of a plea deal. This significant encounter with Judge Glazer marked a turning point for Booth, leading him to fulfill the promise he made to the judge and become a reformed individual

Hope she does well.
When I was a kid it was pretty common surgery. Seems less common now.

Wishing her a speedy recovery.
Home made ice lollies, made with fresh fruit is apparently better than ice cream after a tonsillectomy.
So get blending.

I had my tonsils removed in my mid thirties. Most painful op I've ever had and the recovery was excruciating. Best to have them out as kids it hurts less.

Complications have arisen so she has to stay in.
Coughing up blood and clots can't eat or drink properly.
The other kids fine ours nope.
She was stressed out about it before going in and I told her I had mine done in the 1950's... the black and white days when ambulances had big silver bells on them and the hospitals had big knives and I never fely a thing so in the modern world it would be even easier...
Her mum is still with her so I'm thinking mum will probably appreciate a muck breakfast muffin in the morning.

I've assured her she will Mags but I think she might be a little wary of my medical judgements just now.
Dirty scum.
That's because it's not a video, it's only a screenshot of a video.
ii know, but I tried to find the video but couldn't. I'm not on Twitter though, that could be why.
