The more I see of what the lupus is going to take from me, the more I think it will happen. Probably a project bike I rebuild up and get going how I want it and just have the escape from time to time of freedom and speed.

It was a vintage 59 Harley Panhead. That's about the only thing that I have seen you post for some time with which I can agree. Of course it is not about politics. Having known someone to die of lupus, I can tell Danilynn that what joy one gets out of life before the lupus overpowers one is all that one can get. Beyond that, all one has left is whatever solace that friends, loved ones, and faith can offer. Motorcycles are dangerous, but what do you really have to lose? Enjoy the ride.

The only good thing that has happened to me in about five years is that I got a medical diagnosis that absolves me of all my failures in life. Had I known about Asperger's early in adulthood I might have had a normal life instead of being so marginal.

It was a vintage 59 Harley Panhead. Danilynn, The thing about physical disease is that we each get our own personal case of whatever we get. By that I mean that each of us differs, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in huge ways. Lupus, or in fact most autoimmune problems, can come and go. You can get years of remission. A good immunologist is an essential component of your treatment. Even if your insurance doesn't cover it, an hour of a specialist's time isn't all that expensive. You can see two, three or more specialists. Bring your lab test results. Just talk to them about possibilities. It can be invaluable just having the information. It allows you to largely decide on your own how you want your case managed.

That is probably why the following SNL skit works. The fourth turning is where the can kicking stops. At some level the left knows this but they don't want to face it.

Well I swear I heard them saying he was popular. Maybe I just wasn't fully awake yet and they actually said unpopular?
Despite what ideologues like Galen think, NPR's Morning Edition is a very sober show that doesn't make shit up.

Who else is getting a passport?
It's #1 on my To Do list for 2017. The soon as the latest government shutdown attempt is resolved, one way or the other, I will be doing it. I really believe that scores of millions of people are going to be leaving the country within the next 8 years or so - and the soon as I perceive a trend of people of leaving, I will join it.
