Nancy, you are a role model following your convictions and being a calm, clever, can-do person. Of course, if you weren't those things, we wouldn't have the pleasure of reading your blog. Congratulations and thank you.

Parabens! You did it! And, yes, Trump´s approval ratings are in the garbage, but of course he says it´s all fake news. What an imbecile. I have written to my representatives in California. I hope more Democrats in the house start speaking out against this cruel and lawless regime. I feel change is coming for the better.

Hi, from Georgia. I have heard that calling makes a bigger difference than writing. I use the 5 calls app that Nancy mentioned and it works great. I do recommend it.

I have made calls as well. Forgot to mention that in my comment.

I so hope. It will take us decades to recover from the damage he’s inflicted in 100 days. If we have four years of this, I don’t want to think about what state will be, and what shredded remains will linger.

Not only is your mayor good looking, but he's an astute politician, too. After telling you he will fix the problem you reported, he also told you that you can vote in the local elections. Who ya' gonna vote for in the next mayor's race?

Seriously, thanks for demonstrating that persistence pays off. That's a lesson we need to be constantly reminded of these days.

Way to go Nancy! well played indeed. So happy to hear that the problem will be eliminated for you and the Church. I am sure that some neighbors may be unhappy - but it does prove that being persistent does work. We are hanging on here in the USA- I hope that polls and public support sink even more quickly for the Don the Con and we can get some traction on removing him from office. Not holding my breath, but connecting with my representatives, marching when protests come up and getting myself liquid.

As an owner of a small apartment in VRSA I thank you from bottom of my heart for what are you doing for our small community.

As for Trump - I have nothing positive to say about that creature. Sorry

Job well done! It's nice to have a priest across the street, and it is certainly a blessing that the church provides food for those who are in need.

I walked several blocks around your home this morning (I had to move the car), and noticed brand new garbage cans below ground. These are certainly 200 meters or less from your house. They are not operational quite yet, hopefully soon.
