Keep me in your prayers. Use a concentrater air into oxygen during the day. Use a bipap/cpap for night. Receive treatments during the day from two machines. Plus three inhalers to treat my air way. COVID 19 caused my COPD to only grow worse.
I am a DNR patient. I have had the longevity talk with two doctors. Six months to a year. With prayers maybe a little longer.
Keep me in your prayers.

Senator Kyrsten Sinema
Rj,Arizona pays the price for the federal government’s failure to fix our broken immigration system. That’s why last week, we introduced our Bipartisan Border Solutions Act – alongside Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas – in response to the crisis at the southern border.
Our legislation improves the federal government’s capability to respond to influxes of migrants arriving at our border – reducing the impact on local border communities, ensuring migrants are treated fairly and humanely, and improving management along the border.
The Bipartisan Border Solutions Actimproves the federal government’s ability to respond to border crises by:
- Directing the administration to create Regional Processing Centers to better manage the influx of migrants and ensure they are treated fairly and humanely
- Increasing resources to improve the asylum process-so claims for asylum are efficiently decided, and migrants who do not qualify are quickly returned to their own countries
- Prioritizing the needs of local border communities while improving the coordination and communication between local governments, non-governmental organizations and the federal government
Read more about our bill:Arizona Republic: ‘It’s an American problem’: Sens. Sinema, Cornyn introduce bipartisan immigration bill to ease border surge.
We also recently worked to include $110 million in funding in the American Rescue Package that is now law for border communities and non-profits stepping up to help solve the migrant crisis.
Our new legislation will help the Administration address the situation at the border, protect Arizonans, and ensure migrants are treated fairly and humanely. We’re committed to working across the aisle to address the challenges facing our state.
Sincerely,
Senator Kyrsten Sinema

Groth Sauvignon Blanc 2019 (Buy 1 Case, Get 2 More Bottles for 1 Cent)
Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley, California
Groth Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown in various microclimates of the Napa Valley. The warmer areas give grapes with melon and citrus characteristics in both aroma and flavor. The cooler areas of Napa Valley provide fruit with a solid, crisp backbone that gives the wine an exciting liveliness and balances the rich creaminess from sur lie aging. The Semillon is grown on the Groth Oakville Estate vineyard and is harvested with the Estate Sauvignon Blanc, contributing roundness and weight to the mouthfeel.

Daou Pinot Noir 2018 (2 Case Buy)
Pinot Noir from Edna Valley, Central Coast, California
2018 may go in history as the longest season yet. A good amount of rain fell in the region which gave to a later bud break in April. The vines were energized by the much needed moisture, setting one of our best crops yet. The weather remained steady from spring through June. Then we received a long heat wave that fortunately did not affect the quality of the grapes due to the fact that it was before the start of veraison. A cooling trend ensued for the rest of the season right after the heatwave, prolonging the hang time leading into harvest. The long hang time yielded deep color and concentration with dense wines. The tannins are silky and beautifully integrated. As a result, 2018 was an exceptional vintage that really highlights the aromatics and acidity of the wines.

Wondrium
We are about to become…Wondrium.
In 2015, we launched The Great Courses Plus so members could experience the Great Courses via video streaming. TGC Plus grew rapidly, but so did the demand for new types of learning experiences. We decided it was time to step out from behind the podium and move beyond traditional academic content.
Over the last year, we’ve been adding new content such as personal development, travel series, and topical current events. Now, we are growing even further—bringing on new partners who provide how-to hobby lessons, deep-dive documentaries, tutorials, and so much more.
Now that we are no longer simply offering “courses,” we knew we needed to change our name to reflect that. With that, we are pleased to introduce you to Wondrium.
But what is Wondrium?
Wondrium is where you find the answer to everything you’ve ever wondered about and some things you’ve never imagined you would wonder about. Our carefully curated collection of content is still comprehensively educational, relentlessly entertaining, and presented by engaging experts—but now you have so many more ways to learn and things to learn about.
In a nutshell, Wondrium is the place for minds that wonder.
So, what’s new?
In addition to the Great Courses that you know and love, you’ll find:
- Award-winning international, documentary, independent films that provide “thoughtful entertainment” at its best, from Kino Lorber;

- Helpful and handy lessons in anything and everything creative, from Craftsy.
- “and much more non-fiction content to come!”
What does this mean for my membership?
Only good things!
Your Great Courses Plus membership just got a free upgrade. Your membership fee stays the same and you will still receive all the same benefits your TGC Plus membership came with, including savings on the Great Courses DVDs and free shipping, but you can now access hundreds of new videos, documentaries, series, and other learning experiences, all in Wondrium.
