Defeat Rep. Tom Marino
In September 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Marino to serve as the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (“drug czar”).[15][1] In October, Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) called on Trump to withdraw Marino’s nomination.[20]Trump said he would “look into” reports about Marino, putting his nomination in question.[21] On October 17, 2017, Marino withdrew his nomination.[2]
“Say ahhh. I’m going to pull nine teeth. This is going to hurt a lot.”

Monday, I have an appointment with oral surgeon Stephen L. Engroff, MD, DDS, all around good guy at Tri-County Oral Facial Surgeons, a convent short scooter ride away.

Please think of this as a donation opportunity

If you have to have a tooth pulled (I have) or root canal work (I have) TriCounty is the place to go.
[Too longer for a t-shirt or a bumper sticker.]
My fine dentist Harvey Israel recently revised his prediction. Initially, he thought Medicare would only pay for it if I stayed in the hospital overnight and had all nine teeth removed at once. Perhaps, Dr. Engroff can arranged to have four teeth pulled, then another four teeth, then three more.
My motto:”I do not embrace dental pain. Dental pain embraces me.”
Thepulling begins the second week in April immediately following my granddaughter’s first birthday party.
On Tuesday, July 12, 2016, Leyla Skeylar, my physical therapist, took this photograph of me requiring a haircut. For two $18 donations, Supercuts could make me respectable and I could pay a decent tip and purchase a pot of peach tea at Webster’s.

An $18 donation would be a great help.

Donation purpose
My daughter Amelia’s wedding is less than a month away and I don’t know how I will get there. There is Chapel Hill, N.C. where Joanna, Amelia’s older sister, graduated with a BA in English and also with honors received nurses training necessary to receive registered nurse certification.
There at Chapel Hill I will hold my three-month old granddaughter Juliet for the first time.

The easiest way to make a donation is to log on to your PayPal account and donation–please, please–$18 to me at this email address: [email protected]. Or, there is a PayPal tool below to simplify (or complicate) your generosity.
A haircut is required for me to scoot Amelia down the aisle and to hold granddaughter Juiet Mae in my arms [Preferably not simultaneously].

Going from there to Greensboro, I will be officiating at the unveiling of my mother’s headstone.
I will be reading the first Psalm at the unveiling and recite Kaddish. Afterward, I will take ten minutes of the family’s remembrance of mother to talk about Mother’s affection for Bialik, the Walt Whitman of still modern Hebrew poetry.

I will be discussing Maimonides, spiritual growth, and my career goals. Here are the real issues I face–begging bowl in hand–regarding my charity requirements.
Fulfilly my potential as one who is disabled and elderly
Overcoming the obstacles I face including being able to pay for diapers
Hoping to avoid the reality of nursing homes
Maimonides on Charity (tzedakah)
“One of the most widely referred to sections of the Mishneh Torah is the section dealing with tzedakah. In Hilkhot Matanot Aniyim (Laws about Giving to Poor People), Chapter 10:7–14, Maimonides lists his famous Eight Levels of Giving (where the first level is most preferable, and the eighth the least):[60]
“Giving an interest-free loan to a person in need; forming a partnership with a person in need; giving a grant to a person in need; finding a job for a person in need; so long as that loan, grant, partnership, or job results in the person no longer living by relying upon others.”
The Guide to the Perplexed is the most famous of Maimonides’ publications. The rules about charity are contained in the Codex. Maimonides’ stunning contribution the Codex represents is an achievement lovingly described by Rabbi Abraham J. Heschel in his Maimonides biography. Rabbi Heschel (who wrote a letter to my draft board affirming the Jewish tradition of pacifism) published the biography when he was 28.
