• Tabitha for her very professional help at Dr. B’s office, and to Suzanne at CDI for being so kind and gentle with my MRI, from B.B.

Onions to …

• a Jan. 6 commission, another feeble attempt to drag the former elected official through the mud.

• piling up "miniscule" tax increases until it becomes death by a thousand cuts.

• the letter about vaccines, it’s freedom of choice.

• the rude woman at the graduation who talked on her phone the entire time the salutatorian was giving her speech.

• those who actually want critical race theory in our classrooms, God help us.

• the company requiring proof of taking an unapproved vaccine before you can come back in the office.

• creating the stress of having to decide between jobs, livelihood and potential death from an experimental jab.

• those who treat children as just a welfare check or tax credit.

• the elected federal official once again taking credit for something he had nothing to do with.

• the former elected official betraying his own family and kowtowing to the former leader who incited the insurrection.
