Whyisa, I grew up with one of the most annoying brothers on the planet. He continues to work my nerve and we are both in our 50s. I know exactly how to deal with him, and it’s equally effective with this group. : )

Take the journey with me here.

He won NJ, twice. The second time he increased his minority margins.

Explain a Dem path to the White House without NJ.

Anyone headed that way in this job market better have $ they can afford to throw away. His degree will be from the I school, where jobs should be more plentiful. Xsteen was interested in law school until she became aware of the dismal prospects for law grads.

I have a nephew (step) who is going to law school, but he is a bama supporter so he will go into some kind of community service and we all get to pay for his $200K plus in student loans....

Well yes there’s that kind too. I think in a stagnant job market kids tend to run to some sort of grad school to postpone job hunting. Incur more debt, avoid reality for just a few more years.

I’ve been home all week with a chest cold and cough. Went out today bc I had a massage scheduled. It’s 39 but rainy and I feel so chilled I’m on the couch with a fleece and my dog pile of two. Yesterday the fed ex guy delivered a pkg and asked where my bodyguards were! I said they don’t know you’re here!
