- While I’ve been a regular visitor here for some years, I rarely post or comment. After all, who other than me really cares what I think? That said, here’s what I think: Like the headline says, I am a Ford Motor Company retiree. I worked there for 25...392 comments 395 Recs

- I don’t think many people can accuse me of being a Biden fan. When he says something stupid, I call him out on it. But sometimes he reminds me of just what a different league he is in compared to Donald J Trump. I was moved by two things he did last...83 comments 109 Recs

- April 2002 was a time I can't erase from my memory. I experienced pain coming in waves. I had tears in my eyes. I called an OB/GYN in my network. I traveled to his office. I had an ultrasound done. I had tests done. I had to call off work that day. I...3 comments 1 Recs
- I rise (reluctantly) to Bolton’s defense here, against the many comments accusing him of being self-serving and wanting to know why he hasn’t spoken up way earlier. Bolton was the national security advisor, and as such remains under lifelong...4 comments 4 Recs

- I don’t do all of that fancy stuff when I write, no images, no video, no audio. I just speak, and perhaps that is not welcome, not common, not inviting, worth even a look-see. First of all, in the thought of just sharing, I believe that Adam Schiff...3 comments 2 Recs
