Today, I made it to age 76.

I am in remission from lung cancer. I have a blood clot on my lung. I have compression fractures in my spine, caused by osteoporosis, and serious shortness of breath after covid. I have gained thirty pounds after a period of forced inactivity from my health issues.

I am lining these things up, and defeating them one by one. Ask me about them when I am 86 and still posting on DU.

I'll be 88 then; Kamala will be the former Prez, and Walz or Whitmer or Buttigieg will be in the Oval Office.

Don't worry I'll make potato sex.

Holy smokes! I did voice to texton my phone and said "don't worry you will make it to 86". Instead my phone heard - don't worry I'll make potato sex.

WTF????
