RE: Day 36
Dear Representative, It is Day 36. Google tells me this is the longest government shut down in our nation's history. Republicans say it is the democrat's fault because they wont cave to their wishes. Democrats say it is the republican's fault because republicans wont...
Re: Government Shutdown
Dear Representative, As you know, the government shutdown has been upon us for 5 weeks on November 5, 2025. At first, I was ok with it, I thought it was noble. I thought it was right to help out all families that depend on the Affordable Care Act. But as we kept...
The First Baby Blanket For 2025
I haven't crocheted for a long time. In fact it has been about two years (except for the patch job I did on my nephew, Kaison's baby blanket) since I made Kaison's baby brother, Riyder's baby blanket, because he just had his 2nd birthday. But Karen G Clemenson has...
Happy Halloween 2025
I have been in a pit of depression for the month of October and I woke up feeling so much lighter and glad to be out of that pit today. I made it out and it feels so good to be able to move easier. Depression is painful, not only mentally but physically for me. It...
Lots of Reasons
I always gave my father lots of chances. I did that for lots of reasons. One was that it was easy to communicate with him. I was a lot like him, in that I understood what set him off. It was easy to learn the boundaries. He had the same violent streak that I had....
I Am Mrs. Clemenson Now
This time of year is always hard on me. Most recently, this is the time of year I got my cancer diagnosis and had my last fight with my father when I told him that I had cancer, instead of letting him hear it through the grapevine. This is the anniversary of when I...
Dear Representative: SNAP
Dear Representative, I am sitting in one of the richest countries in the world and yet people I know are being told they won't get their SNAP benefits on November 1, 2025. I am trying to stay calm and think logically. $8 billion dollars cannot be found to feed people,...
I Can’t Do This Without You
~ I am made in my Creator’s image I am white I am female I am a United States Citizen I am just like you ~ Jesus turned over tables where they sold offerings for money But He gave Himself on the cross for free ~ You are just like me I am black I am queer I am...
Dear Representative: Let’s Talk About Money
Dear Representative, This government shutdown has been exhausting. Thank you for fighting for healthcare for all United States citizens. In a country as wealthy as we are, it baffles me why we can’t offer universal healthcare so that everyone is cared for and premiums...
Is Abortion Wrong?
In my life I have walked with Jesus for almost 45 years. In the first half of my relationship with Him, I did not have as much control over where I learned about Him or what that meant, however, He saved me so many times. In much more conservative surroundings, my...
5 Books for September 2025
Hi Everyone. September has been one intense month and I think it was about time to read some children's books. These books were stellar and I am glad I had them to fall into. I imagine I will need to find more children's books to disappear into as we wrap up 2025. I...
