I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 16th now to check out the spots that have prolonged enhancement. Hopefully they're just benign weird vascular foci and not what the radiologist suspects! 🤞

Someone to the side said it was the best response they had seen so far. I understand. That is all the left has ever gotten.

My first thought was that it was staged so Trump could emerge as some sort of avenging wounded warrior. I noticed that the news orgs are showing that the shooter pledged money to some sort of Progressive group but is a registered Republican. Someone who supports violence shouldn’t be surprised when it comes back to bite them. Although I’m afraid that it will bite the Dems.

Well, after a really great visit with my dad, I found out on his last day here that my 13 year old cat has lymphoma and won’t live more than a couple of weeks. WTF universe?! How much cancer can one family take?
Re: BCO In Memoriam thread, Part 2
I'm sad to report that according to her husband on Facebook, Bluefrog76 passed away on July 8 after 8 years with MBC. She was a tireless advocate for all of us.
Re: how about drinking?
As of July 6, my former employer was in violation of his second deadline to pay the penalties owed for our unpaid wages complaint. The CDLE (Colorado's dept of labor) found that he owed us the maximum amount of backpay allowable; and, since it was deemed willful, he was fined penalties equaling 3x the backpay owed (non-willful penalties are 2x backpay), plus additional penalties to the state. But the state is kind and merciful. If he paid it off early, they would halve the penalties owed us and waive the state penalties.
When we received our backpay checks we thought he had finally given up and would take the reduced penalties deal. Then, a few days before the penalties checks were due, he decided to appeal the "willful" part of the decision and sent checks for half of what the penalties would have been if the finding had been non-willful - 1x backpay instead of 1.5x backpay.
In doing so, he shot himself in the foot so hard. One of the requirements for the reduced penalties is that the defendant doesn't appeal the amount of monies owed to the complaint filers. (They can still appeal any procedural orders handed down, but not money.) So even if the appeals judge finds in his favor, he will owe us the 2x backpay penalty and will have to write us another check for another 1x our backpay. But now that he's violated his second deadline, the penalties go up half-again from 3x to 4.5x backpay owed. Either way, he will owe us more money for the sake of his ego.
If this goes the maximum in our favor, this whole saga will cost him just over $500,000. That will be some tasty karma.
