I was at the Somerville, MA rally as opposed to the humongous one on Boston Common. (Been there, done that.) About 100 people showed up around a small traffic circle and there were plenty of responses from drivers from repeatedly tapping the horn to waving or giving thumbs up. Only 2 or 3 negatives. Hope we ruined their day. :)
What I just said, too. I may as well add: Aren't sociologists saying that 13.5 million would represent the critical mass necessary to overthrow an authoritarian regime? If so, I think we're beyond that.
Ellis, I so hope you're right but do you know where you found that #? I was hoping we'd reach the 3.5% threshold which 13.5 million would do but i haven't read anywhere that the #s were that high. So far i've come across estimates of 8-9million. Still that's significantly more than the turnout at prior ones.
barb--I made it up. I'm not saying 13.5 were on the streets. I just think it's plausible that, for every one on the street, there is __ who agrees but wasn't. At 9 million, all (or "all") we'd need is a half-person who didn't show up but agrees. And there's plenty of half-people in the US! I could be wrong, but not THAT wrong.
I wonder when the counts were made?? Since the protest spanned three or more hours in participating cities, people arrived throughout the three hours. I arrived at ours an hour after it started. So, if people were counted in the beginning of the protests, then they missed the people who came later and should have been counted. Just wondering?
Good point. I have no idea how anyone estimates these crowds. From photos? At X people per acre? What about those crowds strung out along a highway? And you're right. If the measurement is taken early in the demo, then the total number by the end will be larger. If it's taken late, then the early people who left aren't counted, and the number will be smaller than it should be.
I didn't make one. I was too busy taking photos (that I ended up not using) of the Beacon NY event to carry a sign. y'know, because I'm A Responsible Journalist And Everything™.
I was at the protest in Syracuse and it was awesome. Froze my butt off after an hour and had to go back to my car to blast the heat but as soon as I thawed out I was back on the street. An elderly man wearing flip flops in 20 degree weather was holding up a huge sign and I just couldn’t believe his feet weren’t frostbitten. I only saw one counter-protester .. a man in the back seat of a car yelling “Do you ever STOP?” With a raised middle finger. The crowd was definitely older … most people I saw were over 50 and many were ancient. They know what’s at stake. The times are definitely a-changing!
Mr. Trump says that rallies and criticism don't bother him . Translation : the truthful and ingenious protests are harshing his buzz in a relentless way , all day and all of the night . Being on the golf course is no escape , no relief from the mental torture . So , great job by the protestors . The unrelenting presence of the Epstein files will never go away no matter how many wars or " excursions " he initiates . The frosting on the cake last week was that Senators voted to fund the TSA workers and Holy Mike could not deliver the House . It wiped that smirk off his arrogant face and will continue to be a source of pain for Mike , the human participation trophy .
Hate to be a downer - but where did this ‘8 Million’ attendance number come from? My thought was that no matter how it turned out, ‘they’ were gonna underreport the turnout… I mean didn’t they say 7M for NK 2? This was MUCH BIGGER… The corporate media is not gonna give We The People ANY momentum if they can help it :/
The only thing better than attending my local No Kings event is seeing the photos the day after from all over the globe. People are so creative and funny, it gives me hope. My favorite sign (at Beaverton City Park) was "For the Epsteinth time, why are we at war?"
In suburban Mesa Az I stood with thousands of others extending 1/2 mile north and south on both sides of a major intersection. My favorite sign was "Alexa, change the president". What gives me hope is far less people are driving by giving us the middle finger salute. They know this shit is ugly too.
at my event in Huntsville, AL, the League of Women voters were manning a table where you could check your registration, get the application for an absentee ballot. & I found out where I could hand deliver my application.
I love that protests went global, but sadly those people don't vote. It might rattle our billionaire overlords though. They have to do business everywhere.
what do you mean those people don't vote? Not all of them, of course, but there are American voters abroad who can vote. Democrats Abroad organizes them to vote in the primary & general.
You’re right Arnie! That age old military industrial complex turd that we can’t seem to shake off our shoe. Just when you think you’ve gotten the last of it off your shoe it starts smelling again.
Great job marching folks! I happened to catch some pricktator-supporting garbage driving a huge pickup with all the large obnoxious flags, even in Upstate New York. But definitely was outnumbered.
Also apparently decided to parade his truck through the artsy neighborhood north of where the protests were, so that might be a...specific choice. Lots of LGBTQA+ people live there. Probably rolled coal through here too.
Of course the big mission is this fall. Make sure everyone that you have your voter registration all locked down tight and you are an ACTIVE voter. We gotta do the thing this Election Day (or before).
If voting weren't powerful Republicans wouldn't work so hard to stop you from doing it!
I found that the pro-Donny counter-protestors were so few and far between — especially compared to the previous two No King Days — that I didn't even bother to report on them
I think that people have definitely upped their tactics game. And the widespread availability of camera phones helps a LOT too in case one of these cultists acts up and tries to get cute.
In tiny Louisa VA, near my new home, we had one guy across the street with a you know who flag, and we was shortly surrounded by No Kings signs for the rest of the protest. I was so moved by being in a protest in this rural area, I actually cried.
One posted a video on Musk’s Nazi Bar of himself sitting in his truck, blasting YMCA and doing Donny’s Jerkoff-a-Giraffe dance. He got what he deserved in the comments.
Their 'leadership' got wise this time and skipped the part where they froth at the mouth about how we are insane radical commies being very paid by George Soros. I guess they looked up the Streisand Effect.
I feel dirty after ready that. Those idiots don't seem to understand that different organizations may rally their members for a common cause with other organizations. I fear this is all to advance their goal of declaring all non magats "terrorists".
I'm still seeing asinine comments about this farcical Soros bullshit on my local social media sites where the infuriating, deluded cult members feel compelled to hijack every post or psa about the No Kings event. This false narrative is old and tired.
They did issue some stupid press statements. A White House spokeswhore claim only reporters paid to cover "Trump Derangement therapy sessions" cared, while a similar idiot at the NRCC called them "Hate America rallies."
We didn't have any of those Trump trucks this time. They probably can't afford the gas. I've seen diesel at $7.15. Is that even possible? Regular gas at Costco was $5.15 on Thursday.
We saw one guy in a pick-up who was holding a big Rump banner out his driver's window. Except....he could only hold it with one hand while he was driving, so it was dragging on the ground. Appropriate!
In 2017 I was at the women’s march in DC. Yesterday I attended a rally in a small town along the Jersey Shore. Two very different experiences, but the spirit was just the same. It’s been nine fucking years, and I can’t believe we still have to don this.
I love the guy in Tallinn, Estonia. We were actually there last summer, and saw a sign that said, “Can we just skip to the part where he shoots himself in the bunker?” He really is despised all over the world.
Oh, I have to tell you this story. I made a shirt that said "Fascism won't lower the price of strawberries" and I was in this elevator in a London hotel wearing it, and the lady next to me said, "Oh, that's brilliant" in this really soft voice, and followed up with "Isn't it a pity we all have to wear mottos again?"
Matt Schlapp asked the audience at CPAC if they'd like to see Trump impeached, and they CHEERED!. He got mad - wrong answer! - and asked again, and THEY CHEERED AGAIN.
The mention of Bondi reminded me of a sign showing Herr Drumpf with Hitler mustache and uniform with his DOG, BLONDI . (Pam’s nickname andHitler’s dog’s actual name.)
Yesterday I was proud to be shoulder to shoulder with so many people in the United States and around the world who value democracy and are defending the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law.
We want economic opportunity and upward mobility for our children, grandchildren, and generations yet to come. We want to feel secure in our homes, communities, and when we travel. We want a world class education system so future generations can compete in a dynamic and rapidly changing world. We want a healthcare system that does not end in having to file for bankruptcy. We want a government that always embraces peace and diplomacy over forever wars. We want blue skies and safe, good tasting water from lead-free taps. We want fairness in the justice system. And no sane person embraces a government rife with corruption and self-dealing.
Regardless of political “side” we all must understand we are being artificially divided and conquered. The past is calling on us to honor the sacrifices made throughout the history of our nation to one day form a "more perfect union" and to finally realize Martin's dream. The fierce urgency of now is calling us to defend democracy and justice as core principles.
You, too, Frosty! I could tell you many stories of how I'm not, like trying to caulk without puncturing the foil seal and the material extruded out the back of the tube.
That old orange bstard is determined to put boots on the ground, if only there was a General who had the guts to tell him NO , or F off just something for god’s sake
Young, poor kids join up to try to get a skill or get ahead in life. They come from poor (MAGA) communities. When the body bags start coming home a change is gonna come.
I'm so surprised that he hasn't insisted upon leading the charge as Commander in Chief. After all, he attended military school and is smarter than all the generals.
Jeff, we estimated about 2,000 people on our Village Green in Falmouth, MA, yesterday. There were folks dressed in shark suits, turtle suits, tri-corner hats, and sporting clever signs. There were also a lot of dogs suitably signed on their little backs. One woman was passing out cookies in the shape of a crown. Our local Indivisible even had enough $ to fund a police detail and rent a few port-a-potties. There were speeches and singing, with the lyrics available via a QR code. The crowd was positive, but righteously pissed off, and it was a great day.
It was an inspiring day! Even this almost 79-year-old Vietnam veteran hobbled himself out on the street with thousands of other people in Federal Way, Washington and participated in the great statement. Perhaps we will survive this nightmare after all.
Great summary Jeff! Our town had 1500 protesters! Felt good and we have to keep it up!! My sign was trump with a trophy for most mentions with (38,000) in the Epstein Files. Found on internet -so thanks for whoever made that!
I am so glad you shared these pics of rally and signs. SO MANY CREATIVE PEOPLE! This is the America we all want. Damned inspiring. (I didnt attend...my friend had open heart surgery and I'm now in the role of Nurse Rachet. 😂 )
I couldn't go, either. The closest protest for me was a 2+ hour roundtrip, and my 2 senior dogs cannot be left that long anymore. They also can't walk well; so, taking them is no longer an option. Sigh. We attended many protests together through the years!!
I've learned so much through this experience... I can now give drug injections into his picc line. He has one helluva scar, too. WOWSERS! And of course, if he's craving a tuna casserole, a tuna casserole he shall have. I feel like a walk-in clinic and a short order cook! 🫀👩⚕️🩺💉
How did you know? Theres always a bit of frustration and nervousness when a huge health event happens... but patience is key to offering comfort. He's a tough and will be great!
It aint easy! Glad you're much better now...so will my friend be. I tease him and say, look.... if you just do what I tell ya, everything will be fine. 😂😂😂 He laughs...and thats good medicine.
of course, this post only scratches the surface. there was way too much great stuff to fit into one post. EXCELLENT JOB, EVERYONE! really, what a day.
The frogs were a hit
The handmaidens were lit
The costumes creative
The signs illustrative
All said, we're sick of this shit
Frog Choreography (song:WAR what is it good for) 😆 D.C.

One correction, if I may. Idaho as a whole is deeply red, but Boise is not. Boise is a blue dot in a sea of red (I live in Boise)
Spot on Doc!
Damn straight, Doc. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A million gazillion times better coverage than the lame MSM. Thanks, Jeff!
A Jeff Tiedrich MASTERPIECE.
Let’s all agree to dedicate this to the memory of Mrs. Spouse
The Guardian had lots of photos, world wide. Jeff has some of the best.
Why do we tolerate this increasingly obvious billionaire-owned thumb on the f’n media scale‼️‼️⁉️
If I'm any indicator, for everyone who actually attended a rally, there were many who were "...there in spirit" and "Thanks for representing us".
We got plenty of nice honks, as opposed to the angry honks. I can tell the difference somehow.
As a retired New York cab driver, I know about 7 different honks. My career lasted 1980-1982 while in graduate school.
You must know some creative swear words too
Kathleen, you drove a cab? I bet you have great stories to tell!!!
I heard one cretin bellow "losers!" at us. We blew him kisses.
"We may be losers, but you love an abuser"
MAGAts are such delicate snowflakes.
beep-beep-beep - friendly. HOOOOOOOOOOOOONK - unfriendly.
I was at the Somerville, MA rally as opposed to the humongous one on Boston Common. (Been there, done that.) About 100 people showed up around a small traffic circle and there were plenty of responses from drivers from repeatedly tapping the horn to waving or giving thumbs up. Only 2 or 3 negatives. Hope we ruined their day. :)
99% of the honks at our local rally were friendly. We ignored the other 1%.
I wasn’t able to attend, but decorated my car in “No Kings” bling and drove by, honking and waving.
Thank-you for that!
A car drove by our rally with a sign that said “ For God’s sake, JUST DIE”
Right! My husband and I joined a virtual rally since we couldn't make it in person.
I had to work, as always on Saturday, but thanks to everyone who went out.
What I just said, too. I may as well add: Aren't sociologists saying that 13.5 million would represent the critical mass necessary to overthrow an authoritarian regime? If so, I think we're beyond that.

Indeed!!
Outstanding day for democracy! Thanks for all the photos Jeff!
The one of NYC from above was taken by 80 something years old Sandi Bachom, an intrepid photographer and patriot! ❤️🤍💙
Thanks, Jeff. Upstate New York: Older than God. We froze our asses off but who cares? So glad to have made it!
Jeff! I wanna see your sign!
I didn't make one. I was too busy taking photos (that I ended up not using) of the Beacon NY event to carry a sign. y'know, because I'm A Responsible Journalist And Everything™.
I didn't have a sign either but I was able to help a man and his daughter hold up their 10 foot wide cloth No Kings banner that they had bought.
The creativity of the signs in these 2025-6 protests is amazing to me, and impressive. Admittedly there's no shortage of material coming out of the White House, but still it strikes me as a marvel. People put a lot of time into their signs, and a lot of thought! Here’s a link to the Guardian photos: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/gallery/2026/mar/28/no-kings-protests-across-the-world-in-pictures?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Curious minds Kathleen, I have several, a favorite is Odious Traitor, yours?
Love this from the wondrous John Lithgow: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWcFEn6D1DA/
Thanks for posting this link to the video. I love it❣️
I’m housebound and the coverage I was able to see on tv was kind of a let down. Thank you, Jeff. Now I feel a lot better about the turnout.
they had an online event this time. so look for one the next time
Great one, Jeff. Peace, bro. 😉

Did you call him “Mr” Trump? I prefer Mr Fuckwit tRump. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This was MUCH BIGGER… The corporate media is not gonna give We The People ANY momentum if they can help it :/
some of the left non trad media is also reporting 8 million
I gotta say, that number was put out early
VERY early… then everyone else following is afraid to deviate and become a target. Sickening
That’s ok Jeff. You still done good 💙💙💙.

I live in a purple Northern California town and my favorite sign was "Jesus sees your middle finger" for all the folks driving by saluting us.
That there is what ya might call an uncomfortable truth
That is so good! Now everyone needs to register and VOTE!
at my event in Huntsville, AL, the League of Women voters were manning a table where you could check your registration, get the application for an absentee ballot. & I found out where I could hand deliver my application.
I love that protests went global, but sadly those people don't vote. It might rattle our billionaire overlords though. They have to do business everywhere.
what do you mean those people don't vote? Not all of them, of course, but there are American voters abroad who can vote. Democrats Abroad organizes them to vote in the primary & general.
Good point.
I saw a comment from a Canadian who said they couldn't say "No Kings" because, of course, they have one. So he was going to a "No Tyrants" rally.
Great sign! Yes....why the f..k are we???
Someone profits from the war. That is the only reason.
You’re right Arnie! That age old military industrial complex turd that we can’t seem to shake off our shoe. Just when you think you’ve gotten the last of it off your shoe it starts smelling again.
Occam’s Razor strikes again
Follow the money
Epstein.
Operation Epstein Bury
Ann, good one!!
I wish I'd written it.
Oh, I love that one! Hope I can remember it for the next time.
Beautiful word play on Epsteinth!!!
💯 What Ann said!
Great job marching folks! I happened to catch some pricktator-supporting garbage driving a huge pickup with all the large obnoxious flags, even in Upstate New York. But definitely was outnumbered.
Also apparently decided to parade his truck through the artsy neighborhood north of where the protests were, so that might be a...specific choice. Lots of LGBTQA+ people live there. Probably rolled coal through here too.
Of course the big mission is this fall. Make sure everyone that you have your voter registration all locked down tight and you are an ACTIVE voter. We gotta do the thing this Election Day (or before).
If voting weren't powerful Republicans wouldn't work so hard to stop you from doing it!
I found that the pro-Donny counter-protestors were so few and far between — especially compared to the previous two No King Days — that I didn't even bother to report on them
I read a really cool reply by a protestor to MAGAS who flip the bird: "Usually I just laugh. But sometimes I say, 'and also with you.'"😂
Perfect!
I remind them there’s 3 fingers pointing back at them with a smile!
I love to see it.
I think that people have definitely upped their tactics game. And the widespread availability of camera phones helps a LOT too in case one of these cultists acts up and tries to get cute.
In tiny Louisa VA, near my new home, we had one guy across the street with a you know who flag, and we was shortly surrounded by No Kings signs for the rest of the protest. I was so moved by being in a protest in this rural area, I actually cried.
One posted a video on Musk’s Nazi Bar of himself sitting in his truck, blasting YMCA and doing Donny’s Jerkoff-a-Giraffe dance. He got what he deserved in the comments.
See, and people always say the Republicans don't care about wildlife. And there's Dear Leader making a pair of bull giraffes too happy.
that may be part of the reason why Donny's hair looks the way it does!
“Organic hair treatment”=giraffe sperm
it's possible that these giraffes are also using a different orifice to provide Donald's face coloring.
😂🤣😂
Their 'leadership' got wise this time and skipped the part where they froth at the mouth about how we are insane radical commies being very paid by George Soros. I guess they looked up the Streisand Effect.
Faux apparently had a story on the billions being poured into No Kings in order to turn us all into communists. FFS.
I've been waiting for my Soros check longer than a TSA agent has been waiting for their paycheck.
me too, i was hoping to pay off my mortgage with it lol.

Good sign.
I agree. There was only 2 blows in cars who screamed‘Communists’ to all of us multiple times.
Plenty of people driving by honking and cheering, always some small dick stunod, in a big diesel truck, flipping everyone off!
I hope that asshole with the yooge truck can't afford gas anymore
Exactly ....
He can't. 😏
There’s a hole in daddy’s truck where all the money goes. Thank you John Prine.
sweet songs never last too long on broken radios
RIP John Prine ✨

My shirt said
Bring on the Matriarchy
My hat said
Gulf of Mexico
Making Mottos Great Again
That. Is. Priceless. Officially, my all-time favorite!!!
LOVE!
Matt Schlapp asked the audience at CPAC if they'd like to see Trump impeached, and they CHEERED!. He got mad - wrong answer! - and asked again, and THEY CHEERED AGAIN.
Todd Blanche DuTurd bragged about firing or forcing out 200 FBI agents and prosecutors involved in Trump’s criminal cases.
The declaration of fascism is out loud for all to hear.
I know Blanche, Bondi, et al like orange from their butt smooching of Preznit Predator, but orange jumpsuits may not suit them as well
The mention of Bondi reminded me of a sign showing Herr Drumpf with Hitler mustache and uniform with his DOG, BLONDI . (Pam’s nickname andHitler’s dog’s actual name.)
Just proves our side has the most intelligent and informed, like these historical references show. The other side? Well, . . .
homoerotic art/fantasies about the felon
That's excellent!
They will turn on him, just like he turns on everybody!
Totally predictable .
That was so funny. I'm glad that it was recorded for all the world to see.
THIS made my day! 🏆
But how many of them will actually do anything to stand up to the fascist in chief?
Is that for real? Is there video?
Ask and ye shall receive 😀

Oh hell yeah. I like the people who "wooed" the second time.
Oh, thank goodness you posted that. I'd read about it, but I didn't have any evidence to back it up.

Wow!!! Well said, sir!!
Thank you Vivian. 🤓
You've captured it perfectly in a nutshell!
Thank you Barb!
George, well said!!!
Well said and all true George!
Well said, George😊You covered a lot of bases🤓🖖
Thank you. There are several more bases that demand and deserve coverage too. I wrote that while heading out the door to No Kings 3. 🤓
Wow! May I repeat your wonderful words (with credit to you) on my Substack?! You have said all that we want in such a great way. Thank you!
I am always delighted when my words are share worthy! Thank you!
Today, folks, we have the Jubilant Jeff!!!!! Huzzah! 🥳 🎉🫵🏻
The people, we rise and yell FUCK IT!
Hey! Drumpf and your minions can SUCK IT!
And hour by hour
We show our real power
And stick your damn heads in a bucket.
You losers, a blue wave is coming
Your sicknesses we are now shunning
You'll get voted out
And you'll scream and you'll shout
"It's not fair! Boo hoo! We're so cunning!"
.... Nope. You're just a bunch of empty, insecure whiners.
Millions of protesters have spoken
They hate how our nation is broken
Congratulations, fat bastard
You truly have mastered
How the resistance is awoken
Man! You are brilliant!
You, too, Frosty! I could tell you many stories of how I'm not, like trying to caulk without puncturing the foil seal and the material extruded out the back of the tube.
And my Olympic-worthy quadruple klutz with double toe-stub!
Haven't we all? 😉
It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.
Another good one Doc!
I’d say we have dueling poets with you and Frosty
But it’s more like harmonizing poets
Hats off to our poet-duo!
I agree!!!
You said it Frosty!
The handmaidens' march is simply astounding. There are so many of them!
I found that especially moving. I'm getting tears again.
Ditto, Paula. Just....brilliant and sad at the same time.
That old orange bstard is determined to put boots on the ground, if only there was a General who had the guts to tell him NO , or F off just something for god’s sake
Young, poor kids join up to try to get a skill or get ahead in life. They come from poor (MAGA) communities. When the body bags start coming home a change is gonna come.
If they die it won’t be for their country but for the whim of one sick old madman
You’re right Arnie. I’m smelling the 60’s in the air…and the smell is getting stronger by the day
I'm so surprised that he hasn't insisted upon leading the charge as Commander in Chief. After all, he attended military school and is smarter than all the generals.
He's a coward. And his military school was a reform school.
Of course he is, and of course it was. That was sarcasm.
I got it.
Trump definitely needs to buy some boots, so that HE can go to Iran and experience the war HE started!!!!
I think it's going to be like the Charge of the Light Brigade, only this time it's our turn
I agree!!!
Jeff, we estimated about 2,000 people on our Village Green in Falmouth, MA, yesterday. There were folks dressed in shark suits, turtle suits, tri-corner hats, and sporting clever signs. There were also a lot of dogs suitably signed on their little backs. One woman was passing out cookies in the shape of a crown. Our local Indivisible even had enough $ to fund a police detail and rent a few port-a-potties. There were speeches and singing, with the lyrics available via a QR code. The crowd was positive, but righteously pissed off, and it was a great day.
That sounds wonderful!
That’s a good crowd for Falmouth! Well done! (From Maine)
It was an inspiring day! Even this almost 79-year-old Vietnam veteran hobbled himself out on the street with thousands of other people in Federal Way, Washington and participated in the great statement. Perhaps we will survive this nightmare after all.
I'm proud of you, Steve!
Thanks for everything you have done, Steve
Bravo sir!
CPAC, where wing nuts gab
About how they'll make America fab
Was a pathetic spectacle
With many less a testicle
For pervert Matt Schlapp to grab
LOL!!!
😂😂😂
Great summary Jeff! Our town had 1500 protesters! Felt good and we have to keep it up!! My sign was trump with a trophy for most mentions with (38,000) in the Epstein Files. Found on internet -so thanks for whoever made that!
Your column this morning totally enhanced our beautiful day in the neighborhood yesterday. Respect & much love.
I am so glad you shared these pics of rally and signs. SO MANY CREATIVE PEOPLE! This is the America we all want. Damned inspiring. (I didnt attend...my friend had open heart surgery and I'm now in the role of Nurse Rachet. 😂 )
#fucktrump
I couldn't go, either. The closest protest for me was a 2+ hour roundtrip, and my 2 senior dogs cannot be left that long anymore. They also can't walk well; so, taking them is no longer an option. Sigh. We attended many protests together through the years!!
You are a good friend, Susan.
I've learned so much through this experience... I can now give drug injections into his picc line. He has one helluva scar, too. WOWSERS! And of course, if he's craving a tuna casserole, a tuna casserole he shall have. I feel like a walk-in clinic and a short order cook! 🫀👩⚕️🩺💉
Good job!! 👏 👏👏
And a bit of a therapist, I'm sure
How did you know? Theres always a bit of frustration and nervousness when a huge health event happens... but patience is key to offering comfort. He's a tough and will be great!
I had major surgery a couple years back (I'm much better now) and recall how my mood was, shall we say, not always as the people around me deserved.
It aint easy! Glad you're much better now...so will my friend be. I tease him and say, look.... if you just do what I tell ya, everything will be fine. 😂😂😂 He laughs...and thats good medicine.
