Just got a call from the RNC!

Can you imagine what it was about and what they want from me? They wanted me to contribute to their national conference! I told them when pigs fly, I will glad donate a penny! They asked why only a penny? I said that was my tax cut that I got out of Trump's idiotic tax plan! They were speechless and hung up me!

And of course there was a donation form at the end.

But I was good: I tossed them in the trash instead of responding.

Take those envelopes that have the prepaid postage on them with the bars.. and load the envelope up with anything that will weigh it down. Mail it back. They have to pay the postage before it is received. You can easily run up a couple bucks in postage.

It left a slight bit of doubt in my mind which is why I didn't mention her domicile.

But there weren't any birds or colors in it, so different.
