   I used to be an account manager for a major cosmetics company. I loved when I got to help customers in the stores! It’s amazing what the power of a simple lipstick has on a middle-aged woman who just found out her husband has been cheating on her and dumping her and the kids for Sally Sidecar, or the one I will never forget, the woman with the most gorgeous hair in the world who was starting chemo the next day for breast cancer. That pretty pink lipstick brightened up her face and gave her courage to carry on. When I was struck with a mysterious illness that could have taken my life, I used my favorite lipgloss for courage as we rushed, once again, to emergency. The lipgloss made me feel like ME again, like look, here I am in the mirror, doing normal things like I do when I’m healthy. This happened a few years after I met the woman with cancer, so I hope that lipstick kept her strong during the loss of her gorgeous hair and the fight against breast cancer. Never underestimate the power of a good lipstick. Also, as we age, light-skinned women get paler, dark undereye circles get darker, and age spots pop up in various places. A little bit of make-up brightens the face and covers some of those problems. It’s not “self-deception” any more than you using deodorant to control smell and wetness.

   Cosmetics and skin care regimes can make us feel good. Those with healthy self-esteem, like your wife, do it for themselves. And many of today’s cosmetic items are good for the skin. What you really need to question, though, is why you’re concerned with your wife looking and feelign her best. That sounds like a lack of self-esteem on your part.

   The DeGroots have insurance. And kids are easy; give them a blanket and they’ll crash on the floor, no problem. To them, this is an adventure! The DeGroots are kind, caring people who will go out of their way to help others, a quality that has been passed down to Luann and Brad.

   This is so sweet and uplifting. It’s everyday heroes like Luann who help those who do not get the upbringing they deserve (for whatever reasons) and help children like the little lost ones here find their path to happy, productive lives. I hope this week makes Luann realize what her superpowers truly are: Caring about others!

   Smitten Alan is adorable!

   Piro does what he can for the kids and his mom, but is overwhelmed and exhausted. This may be the first time he’s truly asked someone for help. It’s a big step for him.

   It’s a HILARIOUS way to end a plot line! Funny, clever, and spot on!

   Expect car parts and repairs to go up by at least 30% if The Convicted Felon gets his tariff wish.

   I can prove that we would have, if we hadn’t known about trump’s sneaky trick to con taxpayers. What trump’s goons did to make paychecks look better was change the withholding, so they underpaid their taxes. So yes, people got more of their money in their paychecks, but then owed more in taxes at the end of the year. Luckily, my CPA mom and our official CPA warned us, so we changed our withholding back to what it was and didn’t underpay our taxes, like we would have with trump’s plan. But I know others who didn’t get the warning and had to pay thousands more in taxes.

   Muskrat, the racist, sexist, crooked illegal immigrant, gets millions, if not billions, from OUR TAXES. No one will miss his spaceships literally blowing up (while blowing up our tax dollars at the same time). Dodge is an illegal method to loot SS and Medicare funds PAID FOR BY TAXPAYERS to pay for more tax cuts for the rich, which have NEVER trickled down to benefit the country. The new tax cuts for the rich will cost us lowly taxpayers almost FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS, and we will not benefit one iota from it.

    The top 5% pay on a small amount of what they earn/grift. Muskrat completed his SS taxes for 2025 partway through Jan. 1, 2025.
