Train Cooper. Teach him the word “glasses”, how to pick them up and bring to you. Give him praise and treat when he does it.

LOL, I was social distancing at the dollar store and was right next to the glasses rack.
I bought a funky pair of red ones with funky colors on the ear pieces for a buck, lol..
Grandson loves them and they work great.
I hate to confess but I have never had my eyes checked, either has hubby. I get by with my cheaters to read.
Just passed my drivers test, no glasses.

I wanted to share this e-mail from one of my husband's SANE former classmate. He is writing in reply to their attacking the electoral college and such....I also keep him informed on Q..he's my red pill success.
I will make this as brief as possible although it is a complex subject. The best book I have found in the writing of the Constitution is Miracle at Philadelphia by Catherine Drinker Bowen. It is no longer in print but maybe a copy in the local library.
To your point BXXXX about a more perfect union. The participants of the Constitutional Convention were sent there to improve the Articles of Confederation. At the conclusion of the Revolutionary War what were 13 colonies under King George became 13 independent nation states. The term State was understood to describe an sovereign government. The original 13 nation states printed their own money, charged tariffs for goods from other US states, basically did anything a country does today. This collection of American countries were loosely connected through the Articles of Confederation.
The Articles of Confederation didnt work very well as virtually all cooperation between states was voluntary. To provide for the common defense for example was voluntary. The Federal Government could ask the 13 independent nation states for troops. They could send troops or not at their pleasure much like the National Guard today. When the Federal Government borrowed money the individual nation states could repay their share or not. At the outset of the Convention there was much discussion of how to fix the Articles of Confederation. The participates felt it was so badly flawed that they needed a clean sheet of paper in order to form a more perfect union.
What we call urban vs rural today was the competing interests of agricultural vs mercantile interests at the writing of the Constitution. The small states (or countries for this discussion) basically said why would we want to form a country with large states? Why would we give up our sovereignty to the larger states? Why would Rhode Island, or Massachusetts want to be in a country with New York and Pennsylvania? Madison and others had given much thought to how to accomplish this. It was called the Virginia Plan. The Virginia Plan was not adopted but formed the outline of the final product. The bicameral legislature was a concession made to the smaller states and agricultural interests as was the Electoral College. This is the reason every state was given 2 seats in the Senate irrespective of size. The Senators were elected by The individual State Governments. Their only constituent was the State that elected them. The function of the Senate was to represent the States. (Until we screwed it up with the 17th Amendment). Which basically turned the Senate into a more exclusive version of the House.
The US House was determined by population. That is why it was often referred to as the peoples House. The MCs (Members of Congress) in the US House were elected directly by the citizens of their respective districts. This is the reason the Governor appoints a Senator to fill a vacancy in a Senate seat. While any vacancy in the House must be filled by a special election. In fact the only way one can serve in the House is by election. One can serve in any other Federal office by appointment. But one must be elected to serve in the House.
The founders adopted the rule of law rather than the rule of men for our nation. To eliminate the Electoral College would transfer governance of this nation to a few dozen of the most populace urban areas. New York City for example has roughly the same population as the State of Indiana. NY has one media market. The are here in Southern Indiana is a larger geographic area than NYC and has three mafia markets. A candidate for POTUS would not find it necessary to ever visit Iowa or Kansas. Nor would a serving POTUS have to concern himself with fly over country. The founders wisely tried to avoid the tyranny of the majority..........edited for the writers protection and privacy.

Rusty, I posted the other day about the violence on the Strip.
It is really bad, they have put on 100 more cops and 50 undercover cops.
It has been bad for over 2 months now.
Fights in casinos, drive by shootings, fights on the strip, it is just terrible.
FYI

Yes, my son here has 2 kids but they are grown now. I see them occasionally and if I need anything they’re here.
My other son in Dallas has kids too, the youngest is 10. But I rarely see them. I used to drive up there once in awhile but my neck has gotten to where I’m not comfortable driving in that traffic. Then the kids live with his ex, and I get along with her ok, but there’s competition between the two and I’m in the middle sometimes. I stayed with my son when I was up there for surgery and fortunately the two behaved themselves while i was there.

I was told I’m too nearsighted for successful lasix. But that was many years ago. It’s probably better now.

I wish all these investigations and reports were done already! Most of the people who should have already brought these traitorous criminals to justice wasted the best part of the last 4 years
dragging their heels, undermining their own president and/or protecting the criminals.
And most of that is still going on!

Last night, for the first time, I attempted to post an image exit`s easy way. But all I posted was a small box. I just copied the formula from sandbox, maybe because I didn’t add the size?
Anyway, press on image and choose “copy link address”, according to exit.
