Like the gun poster. Then again I like guns, I'm an abnormal woman I guess...if you listen to the libs. Took my CCW test while running a temp, 2 broken toes and blurred vision from not having trifocal lenses in my glasses, passed it just fine.

Expanding support for families balancing work with caring for elderly relatives with a $102.5 million Caregiver Initiative adding $52.5 million in funding to Department of Health and Human Services caregiver support programs that provide temporary respite care, counseling, training, and referrals to critical services. The administration says the extra funding will allow nearly 200,000 additional caregivers to be served and 3 million more hours of respite care to be provided.

Take an aspirin a day, old man, and get over it.

Of course, I'm not a thoroughly ungrateful SOB - thanks for the compliment on the pic; I do, of course, have more where that came from ( :D ), a little sample:
