Sam and I can’t discuss this terrifying immigration disaster. Will America ever recover?

Good morning, people. Rise and shine! It’s the “crack” of 9:30 a.m., I’m waiting for my hospice C.N.A. to stop by for bathing and hygiene activities, and Sam is flitting around the house emptying trash cans, doing laundry, cleaning things and being adorable. (I think I should have mentioned “being adorable” first … but he already knows that.)



Wow. He did it. Donald Trump actually got Americans to stop talking about the Trump/Russia scandal! At this point I still can’t tell if he set up these monstrous chain-link cages for children and toddlers as part of a “master plan” or not, but everything in the United States just came to a screeching halt. Sam and I can’t discuss this terrifying immigration disaster. Will America ever recover from this? All I can do is sign petitions from various left-leaning organizations and write desperate messages to our useless representatives in Congress. You know, big shots like Ted Cruz and John Cornyn. Incredibly, yesterday Ted Cruz suddenly decides to take sides against the Trump regime’s hideous immigration policy because he’s trying to get re-elected in November and his constituents are ganging up on him. Frankly, Ted’s chances look bleak no matter which side he’s on. (Ted Cruz is a revolting POS and I can’t even stand the sound of his voice.)


BELIEVE IT OR NOT … Minutes ago our Disaster-in-Chief signed an executive order to keep immigrant families together indefinitely. Naturally, there’s nothing in the executive order that requires the government to reunite any of the thousands of children (already detained in chain-link “cages” at the southern border) with their mommies and daddies, wherever they may be … and the White House couldn’t respond to questions about whether such a plan even exists.

Human rights groups and Democratic lawmakers are having a collective brain hemorrhage about the administration’s latest move. According to Anthony Romero, executive director of the ACLU, “Children don’t belong in jail even with their parents, under any set of circumstances. If the president thinks placing families in jail indefinitely is what people have been asking for, he’s grossly mistaken.” Holy shit. No kidding!

Woo-hoo! Now that I’ve got my beautiful iMac computer with me in the family room (thank you, Sam) I can start posting all kinds of fabulous FREE FONTS for you again! Today’s list offers a smattering of everything … scripts (“Cherokee Rose” and “Dallas Print Shop Pen”), hand-lettered serifs and sans serifs, fancy drop cap initials (“Ana”), typewriter knockoffs (“Italian Typewriter”), quirky display fonts (“Old Story”) and more. As always, I’ll include download links after the graphic so you can add these to your personal collection. Enjoy!



Medical bulletin! I’ve had no appetite for days and days and haven’t eaten a meal since sometime last weekend. There’s a reason, however, and it’s that dreaded 12-letter word: CONSTIPATION. Not eating and not pooping sort of go hand-in-hand. When I can’t poop I also can’t eat due to mild nausea, indigestion, frequent belching, dizziness, feeling faint and so on. I’ve had these five symptoms off and on for the last two or three days … but it was especially awful today.

However, I’m delighted to report that the laxative I took this morning finally worked about an hour ago ... and that’s my absolute final statement on this subject SO STOP ASKING ALREADY.



I’m trying to think if there’s anything else I feel compelled to write about today. Probably not … but that won’t stop me from typing like a maniac, anyway. It’s 9:20 p.m., Sam is on the sofa watching Northern Pursuit (1943) starring Errol Flynn and Julie Bishop, and I’m actually beginning to think about FOOD for a change. I might ask Sam to heat up a can of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni with a couple of sugar-free tropical fruit Popsicles for dessert. Afterwards I can kill a little time writing emails and then go to sleep.

Thank you for reading this, and please do your best to remember the Alamo once in a while.
