Hi Suz!

g’evening peeps

Hi Suz, how was your day?

hey newton — how ya doing tonight?

Suzanne, newt! Hiya friends.

hey bg — it was the same as yesterday :) how was yours?

hey ce — how’s cleveland tonight?

Finally settling down, thank you.
I have been busier at work than at any time in perhaps 5 years. The phone will not stop ringing. I am plainly happy about it.

And, to call the storm we are getting right now ‘biblical’ is a decided undersell. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think this was someplace on the East coast!

How you?

Lovely! How are you? Are you home?

yay for the ka-ching dood… we had thunder and lightning late this afternoon but nothing biblical. that was march :)

One of these days, you are going to be walking again, I know that. The change you will believe in.

I had sort of a day off today. I went to the botanical gardens with friends, stood with the Women in Black for the 9th anniversary of their weekly vigils for peace and went to an (un)Occupy meeting tonight.

nope, still in jen’s living room for at least another month — i’m eating a bowl of sherbert left over from jujube’s first birthday party…

a day off is good bg — a chance to recharge your batteries and reconnect — you’ve not had many lately so i’m glad you got one today

Ya mean there was some left after it was all over Jujube’s head? Srsly?

Oh Suzanne,
I’m so sorry. This is really terrible.

half the cake, a few cupcakes and some of the gallon container of sherbert. jujube had only a wee bit less than half the cake and frosting on her and the only sherbert she had was mixed in the punch. she sure liked it tho and was chugging it down via her sippy cup.

i can’t go home again. no stairs and i have to be out anyway by the end of the month — landlord is moving back in. jen and mike are going to go out there and pack up and help move my stuff out here. we are trying to figure out how i could get up the stairs so i can point out what is mine and what isn’t… so far i don’t do stairs well… don’t do them well at all

That sherbet punch has to be a favorite of every kid. I could have some now, if ya got any sherbet left…

the look on her face was like she had fireworks going off in her mouth — we had to take the cup away from her so she would go back to eating her fruit. tis a favorite of mine for sure — right up there with a root beer float on a hot summer night

We need to get you on a lift up to the apartment, Suz. Maybe a helicopter could deliver you there? I don’t think a hot air balloon would do the trick.

Hi Hunny!

Well hellz bellz.

dammit i almost spewed that last bite of sherbert…. i can sorta scoot up and slide down the carpeted ones here at the house (to get up to the shower) but the outside stairs to the deck are wood. don’t want any splinters for sure – my poor tushkie is already upset about all the sitting i’m doing

kelly! how’s denver tonight dood *smooches*

*smoochback!*

Rainy, cool right now. Dry and warm all week, ‘cept for a TORNADO yesterday. Snow tomorrow, or Saturday.

STAY TUNED FOR MORE NATURE WHACK! *sheesh!*

that’s why the lady is a tramp

saw on the local news that tillamook had a funnel cloud sighted today… we’ve got the sunny mornings afternoon thunderstorms thingie going on

Maybe you can fly to the moon with this?

Maybe you can find someone who has one you can use or rent for a few days? How about advertising on craigslist or something?

Ann Romney is making me feel dirty.

I am/was a dressage rider.

The vast majority of horse owners, regardless of discipline, have no money because they have horses. Because of that I can tell you right now, Ann Romney has zero respect in the horse world. If you don’t get your hands dirty, break a fingernail or bone, you ain’t a “horse person”.

If she isn’t showing on the East Coast, where the majority of the Olympic team resides, trains and shows, she really is not a rider. At any A rated show on the east coast you are up against the best of the best and if you do well on that circuit, you are a damn good rider. Regardless of how much your horse cost.

What Ann Romney has is a bunch of wannabees taking her for all she is worth. Mark my word.

I’m serious Suz, I think your story would go well on a news show, and someone would come forward to help you out. They do these kinds of stories all the time on the news, and it always turns out that someone comes forward to help.

the way you look tonight

…she hates San Francisco; it’s cold and it’s damp.
G’night, Dear.

Hi all y’all.

For those who consider themselves geeks, check this out. And then imagine it as a replacement for drones.

just isn’t practical bg — these are outdoors wooden stairs that go up to the deck… those things require installation and a power source

hey tuez — how’s floriday tonight?

Hmmmm, I’m beginning to suspect all this Republicrat war on women may be a residual effect of their subconcious hatred of their own mothers.

But what about Daddy?…

There was a little kerfluffle downstairs about the “working mother” business. I don’t understand how anyone can’t GET the intent of the original remarks. Of course everyone knows Annie did not struggle with raising her children while also having to work for wages like most Moms do. Fuck her and all her privilege. Yes, it is work to raise kids. Most women don’t have the option to stay home, not now.

If you have a couple of strong people at your disposal, it might be possible to go up in a wheelchair. It’s been done…

bg — i would be so embarrassed to see ‘my story’ on the teevee machine..

Aloha, Suz and lln pups…!

Floriday is fine tonight Suz.

I decided to do spring cleaning today, got the living room and bathroom done. Due to this, no one will come visit for at least a month. For some reason, the nastier the house, the more friends just magically show up on the front porch. I’m not sure how that works.

hag! crap… i was going to ask you what your favorite cocktail is?

hey wigwam — how’s the inland empire tonight?

hey robert — i believe the doors answered that question.

how goes the house?

If it’s the guys from that Home Makeover series, don’t let them help you. They build those houses more like theatre sets than real houses.

hey cujo — how ya doing tonight?

jen’s still recovering from her broken leg. steph has taken me up and down the 3 steps leading to the garage and i do not like to travel that way. i’m terrified i’m gonna fall out of the chair or its gonna slip etc…

aloha tut — how’s paradise tonight?

Won’t they work with an extension cord for power? What’s the diff between outdoors and indoors stairs? It seems like it would be the same installation, even though it would be only temporary.

I bet there is someone with a cherry picker who could come out there and lift you up. It would be fun, OK, Not. But it would be so great if you could get up there. I am serious, someone will help you if they know you need the help.

Been watching that line of development for a while now…

we must be kin — i used to have the same problem but that was only when the house in boulder creek was listed for sale. :)

I’m just defending horse people. Most are flat broke and do without so they can have their horses. When I sold my last horse, the Ann Romney’s of the world were starting to show up. Spend a ton of money on a horse and trainer, and never sit on a horse until show day with a horse that has been trained to memorize the “routine”. I saw more than one judge stand up and chew out a rider for that shit.

Pretty well. Seem to have writer’s block again, but other than that..

Don’t blame you about the chair, to tell you the truth. It’s a bit unsettling when what you’re sitting on gets all wobbly.

It’s been a bit rainy for the past couple of days, but right now it’s beautiful but a bit nippy for April. I’ve seen more precipitation and chill this April than any in the past 45 years.

we are thinking about skyping it — jen would use her laptop or iphone or whatever to skype video the room and then i tell her what is mine and what is not. the house was rented furnished but i accumulated stuff in my almost 4 years there

Hi Kelly. The weapons potential is really creepy stuff. But, as a gadget freek and former model airplane fan, I’m totally fascinated by it.

frank and tommy

Wow. That is so cool, in an utterly crazy, man in the shadow of the machine kind of way.

:) Then you will like this too…

OK, the skype idea is good.

Had to get the insurance rep up there. Apparently what was promised as a first class restoration outfit proved more 3 stooges: dragging heavy radiators across and gouging what were once beautiful hardwood floors, tracking and grinding dirt & ash into the wood and not even taken the most minimum of protection, such as drop cloths while painting.

“Nothing to be concerned about,” the contractor told me. “We’ll be laying carpet over it all….”

&%*$%**!

The Dims just seem to have a tin ear. “she never worked a day in her life”(or whatever) is so not melodious! I remember the early 70s and felt quite threatened by the early Second Feminists because I took some years off to raise my kids. I’ve never regretted doing that,and I’ve never forgotten the sting of being told I wasn’t doing anything ‘important.’ The irony is that Ms. Romney most likely had tons and tons of help that the rest of us did without. There were just better ways for Rosen to make her point without yielding ground to the Rs.

That would do it, alright. Might be able to set up teleconferencing if someone at the remote site (your house) has a laptop computer with a camera. You’d need to have some form of Internet access at the “remote site” of course.

UPDATE: Macs have conferencing software, though I can’t remember what it is. Windows has Netmeeting, or some such. Linux/Unix has Ekiga.

judas forking priest! what did the ins co rep say?

That is a great idea.

hey dearie — how’s the so central ca coast tonight?

i would love to go there one last time but… it looks like my visit is gonna be a cyber one

That she’ll make sure those floors are sanded and refinished. Got to say this insurance company stands by its customers….

That is incredible. These people did not “get” the wood floors or do a plan with you about how it was supposed to look when done? Historical restoration?

Never piss off a writer. Angie’s List awaits my critque….

robert — did they ever determine for sure what the cause of the fire was?

It’s a lovely spot, even on the rainy days.

Why are you putting down carpet? The best houses I ever lived in had no carpet. I hate carpet. So do robots. Without carpet I could use robots.

Hi Kelly. Thanks. That’s is extremely cool.

Twenty years ago, I attended a DARPA briefing for researchers. The main speaker got delayed on the freeway, so the lady in charge decided to entertain the crowd. She asked who’d like to make $100 million. Several hands shot up. To which, she responded: “design us a mechanical hummingbird.” I turned to my colleague next to me and said: “She should talk to Paul McCready.” Since then Paul has passed away but within the past few months, his company Aerovironment has demonstrated a working mechanical hummingbird. And I have no doubt about what the DoD hopes to do with it.

i featured this one up top before — high hopes

thanks cujo

Just popping in. Great song, Suzanne!
We’ve had a couple dinner parties because a friend has some 1964 wines from her father’s collection. Too old to sell at this stage, to good to dump.
We have one more dinner to drink up that wine. I should play this song!!

That might depend. In this part of the country (Pacific NW), I am grateful to have carpet at least six months out of the year.

That isn’t a contractor, that’s a gorilla with an agenda!

On another note, the last couple of days there has been filming in my neighborhood. It is some kind of period piece, 1950s I guess. Lots of extras going down to the shoot in period outfits, the women and men had hats, great old clothes. I know the Lone Ranger is in production with Johnny Depp, but I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with that. There were some very cool cars that I would say are from the 50s.

Electrical arc in the corner of the living room. And Tuez, The Sweety wants the whole house carpeting replaced. I prefer wood floors with area rugs, but I prefer living peacefully with The Sweety more….

hey openhope — how’s the sound tonight? i think this song would be the perfect accompaniment to a dinner with friends drinking wine…

wasn’t the lone ranger on tv in the 50′s and early 60′s?

Then why so angry that the floorboards got scratched?

I spent a month ripping out carpet that was glued down because our daughter developed asthma and my husband was having serious respiratory issues. Sobbing, on my knees, scrapping crap off the hardwood floors.
I’ll never do carpet again. Wall-to-wall carpet is a really bad habitat idea.
Everyone got better, I could wash our floors.

I think so, but I never watched it. Did it have city scenes?

Because just because they’re covered doesn’t mean they deserve to be damaged by contractor indifference. I wear clothes, but underneath is a well cared for body to support them….

I get it. I just think that old hardwood floors are so beautiful that putting wall-to-wall carpeting is almost sacrilegious.

if the film is about the filming of the lone ranger, it would have city scenes… otherwise, it would be a western like the original lone ranger was

There was some impressive construction going on in front of a building the other day and I thought it was some kind of new entrance they were making for the building, new tenants. Tonight I saw that it was part of the scenery for the movie, and it was not some kind of cheesy facade. It was intense construction. So this is not a low budget event. Maybe it is for the Lone Ranger. I think I would have seen something about it though. I know the town has been on the lookout for Depp. I forget who the female lead is. There has been some controversy with the Native American community across the country because Depp is Tonto. I guess he has some NA blood quantum, so he’s a bit off the hook, if true.

Yeah, especially with the 1964 labels. It feels like a tribute for some reason. Not all the wine is worth drinking because some bottles have turned.
The ones that are are really good.
It’s kind of pirate wine in our view. There was a flood and the wine was listed as lost, insurance money recovered.
Then the wine was sold for cash. Makes it taste better.
Jeri Redding, of the hair product fame, was the original owner.
I love a good story!

Yes, it was. I remember watching it, I think. To answer bgrouthus’ question, though, I don’t remember any urban environments, but I suspect I don’t remember a lot of details.

They have shown some sets built out in the boonies, an old time western town. So I did not think it would have city scenes of that era. So I guess it is something else. Breaking Bad and In Plain Sight have wrapped and gone after a few years. It hurts economically.

I agree. The Sweety will most definitely burn in hell for covering those floors. I’ll pray for her soul….

iirc tlr used to make appearances at grocery stores and other locations. if dep is tonto, who is tlr?

a good story always goes better with a good bottle :)

you’re a good man robartarend, and a good sport. i’m sure god will absolve you and your sweetie. i don’t think god really cares about old hardwood floors……but perhaps i’m being presumptive. “:)

could be it is about the filming of tlr — and is a mix of the old west and the 50′s…

tonto = silly, foolish, stupid. When my Mexican friends told me that, I was so disappointed in The Lone Ranger of my childhood.

Hmmm. Armie Hammer. Hopefully for folk who watch the movie, they won’t find themselves nostalgic for Klinton Spilsbury.

raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining raining

l-i-g-h-t-i-n-g

and more rain.

Great Day.

Suzanne, warning, warning, warning………….99 coming up.

whew!

Too late.
In nostalgia…happy 100 Dearie!

congrats on snagging the happy lucky 99 mary mac (and the rain)!!!

Wet is the new black, in our neck of the woods.

Thanks, Suz. It was quite the clapper today. More to come tomorrow.

Thanks. I adore that LLN is so generous and giving.

I like that.

Is Tonto’s name spanish?

On the contrary, it is precisely why God created trees: because He loves hardwood floors, though he hates the waxing part….Of course, Mrs. God does that job….

if god smoked cannabis

The info I find on line says that TLR is played by Armie Hammer.

My daughter,her boyfriend’s wonderful mom and I went shopping for wedding dresses today in the wind,drizzle and rain. In downtown Seattle, starting at the chic Westlake Center.
I’m not used to doing Seattle in the wind,drizzle and rain without a protest sign in my hand. We walked around Westlake Center,across from the heart of activist action, and I had no protest sign. I ALWAYS have a protest sign when I use the restrooms of Westlake Center.
Wedding dresses suck. Reminds me of her days in dance class and the cheesy costumes I’d be forced to buy.

lots of google juice…… Tonto Apaches etc.

sweet.. thanks bg….

No shit. I find the wedding stuff so very over the top these days. The one thing that the depression has shifted is the weird expectation that some people had about what is their due in relationship to their weddings. Bridezilla indeed. But I do know that I am very jaded.

As I understand it, in Mormon there actually is a Mrs. God. I am so interested in learning more as the political melee swirls. And Jesus has a brother named Lucifer/Satan. I suspect that Jesus figured out how to make Satan paint the fence. It’s all so interesting. Can’t wait to have a Scientologist as a presidential candidate so we can find out what they are really all about. Might as well have fun as we all swirl down the tubes.

It is Ms. God and she is in charge. You really don’t think some testosterone driven maniac runs the universe, do you? /s

ok peeps, i’m starting to slide into that horizontal position again. thanks for letting me hang out with you tonight.

hope to see ya tomorrow night for muppets…

g’nite all

Marvelous,wonderful!
I’m always victim to those weird questions:
Who is Mrs. Cain?
If pot is illegal does that mean God fucked up?

Talked to any Mormons lately? I’m still agog, as it were, about their conception of God and his boy and shit.

I would do 2 pieces. . .At least you would have a chance of using the skirt or the top again.

You should just take a sign with you shopping. It will set a tone that will help you get the job done. lol

I always figured he was some kind of Southwest Indian.

UPDATE: Here’s what Wikipedia says:

“Tonto” was named by William Jewell, who also came up with the term “kemosabe” based on the name of a summer camp in upstate Michigan. In the local native American language, “Tonto” meant “wild one.”

I like the local native American version better.

God wants us to enjoy the herbs he created. It’s the friggin’ Republicans who get all pissy about pot.

Good night,Suzanne. Thanks again for being the Hostess With the Mostess

NIghters, Suz. I watched the documentary on the Elmo puppeteer, Kevin. It is a great film. Good guy.

Yeah, probably a Tonto Apache. If there was one thing that Tonto, of teevee memory, was not, it was foolish/silly/stupid. Which is why it made me sad to know that Spanish speakers heard his name that way. And that my friend The Lone Ranger was so disrespectful to his friend and scout. Ah, for the naivete of childhood.

Right on. That’s exactly the idea we had driving home for 50 miles. Plus, why spend money on a dress you’ll never wear again. I was an old bride with less infatuation in her wedding. I wanted a kick ass cocktail dress I could continue to wear on those few occasions in my lifestyle that required sequins and silk. I loved my wedding dress every time I wore it!

See my update @123. At least according to Wikipedia, that’s not the inspiration for the name. Nothing else about the early shows lead me to believe they’d have done such a thing intentionally. Tonto was supposed to be an admirable character, not the clown, even in the Shakespearian sense.

Is anyone still here ?

Off to skim the comments … can’t believe Hilary Rosen is being taken to the woodshed …

Hey bgrothus. Cars from the ’50s are pretty much unmistakable. Maybe you’d have trouble distinguishing a ’49 Ford from a ’50, but you can tell by the rake of the hood orniment: the ’49 rakes forward and the ’50 rakes back.

Hmmm, Amaretto goes well with Sherbert … Suz !

Hilary was not, shall we say, politic. “never worked a day in her life” is more harsh than informative. Her ‘apology’ was quite well done, in my opinion. A good warning that the Rs will take anything and everything and twist it any way they want. Heads up, Dims!

I’m still not sure whether to feel happy or sad about that one.

I’m not a person of God so I personally don’t think it’s a male persona that holds power over our beings. Sorry, us atheists have to declare every so often
I know herbs, have grown and cooked with them for 30 years. They are blood cleaners, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-depressant agents and offer better tasting food. Plus, they offer a lift in spirits when food is cooked with fresh herbs.

It made me think of something Nancy Pelosi said the other day, about Dems not being aligned, like the ReThugs tend to be.

Every Dem should have been repeating the central message that Hilary made but instead, the infighting continues …

Maybe, but what happened was that thanks to the Republican spinmeisters, everyone is now forgetting the rest of what she said. Frankly, I find it hard not to be dismissive of someone in Ann Romney’s position as being any kind of adviser on economic matters. It’s the sort of hubris that ought to draw a sharp response.

But, everyone who wanted to be offended paid attention to that part, and forgot the rest. It’s really good to be offended in politics these days. So often, it saves having to argue a point.

the ridiculousness goes on. we are such a mess!

As you can tell, I am not a car person. It could be that the cars are from the early 60s. I am sure that whomever is doing the sets knows exactly what year each of them is. All I can say is they are very pretty, shiny and new looking.

To expound on herbs, I think they’re called Common Herbs for a reason. They’re in our diet from recorded time because we need them in our diet. Not as a fad, as a common ingredient in our food.” Perennial as the grass”……….

but it would have been so much smarter to say that she was surely helped by a large staff while raising those 5 boys and a husband with money earned while throwing other people out of jobs ……something that most mothers in our country don’t have around….nannies, cooks, etc., as well as a huge supply of money. To slam her for not having had a paying job is just not, in my opinion, smart politics.

OK, I can recognize a Thunderbird, and the one I saw was from the 50s. If I can believe teh google.

It is if she’s being held up as an economics adviser, which was the point that Rosen was addressing. From Politico:

Ann Romney cut to the heart of the flap over what Hilary Rosen said about the candidate’s wife never having worked “a day in her life” in a Fox News interview this morning, saying, “We need to respect choices that women make.”

Rosen, a Democratic strategist, made the comment on CNN last night, adding that Romney has “never really dealt with the kind of economic issues that a majority of women in the country are facing.”

As I understand it, in Mormon there actually is a Mrs. God. I am so interested in learning more as the political melee swirls.

IMHO, in Mormanism, God has multiple “Mrs. Gods.”

In 1977, I took my parents through Salt Lake City. My mother, very pious Catholic was ever so impressed with the piety of the Mormons. I tried to point out to her that both the Pope and Spencer W. Kimble could not both be Christ’s appointed representatives on Earth. But, she knew that I had gone heathen, and so my judgement didn’t count.

But then we went to the state capitol. Wherein, we saw busts of the virtuous founders of the state of Utah, Bring ‘em young and the rest of his gang. But, over in one corner of the rotunda was a bust of a woman wearing a bonnet of the sort you see in all pictures of women in wagon trains.

So, I walked over to see which woman these Mormons had thought to honor with such a distinguished position in their state capitol. And, on that bust, where the name was imprinted on all of the others, what it said was: “TO THOSE WHO SERVED US WELL.”

I think everyone should know that she was talking about leaving the home to work while also being a Mom. Those who did not get that are just being defensive and obtuse. We are past that point, having to distinguish that being a Mom is plenty of work. That is so 1980s at best.

Well said. Emotion triumphs rational,cognitive,socially responsible thought.
For the record, I had to spell check “triumphs” because it looks as weird as a Romney quote when spelled out
I’m beginning to doubt myself. Fucking liberals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely agree with you, but I wish the left was a bit smarter … recognizing that everything they say will be pretzeled by the Right. Do not give them any ammunition.

I agree. Slamming is part of raising female divisions. We can’t afford anymore of those. We Are All On The Same Team.
Slam Ann for being Ann. Leave the rest of us females alone.

But, see, everyone doesn’t get it! A lot of women wish they could stay home with their kids. I just wish the Democrats would talk smart…..and that they would say what they stand for…. and that they would hold the line!

Enjoyed your company. Happy, interesting and colorful dreams to all of you.

To do that would take rehearsing lines over and over again, which I think would not be terribly entertaining to watch. Well, I find most political talk shows boring now, so maybe I’m not a good judge.

A better strategy, I think, would be to state the truth, and not let the portion of the news that’s owned by conservatives (which is most of it these days) frame the questions to the GOP’s advantage. “Ms. Rosen said that someone who has never held a job is probably a bad choice for an economics advisor. Weren’t you paying attention?” That sort of thing.

Of course they wish they had the “choice” to stay home, like Anne. They all know that it is not a “choice” for them. That is why I think it is so dumb to get all hot about this. Yes, Anne had lots of choices. The 99% have to work, and having kids is a decision/accident they make knowing it will be harder than hell to do both.

Goodnight, Dearie. I think it’s about time for me to pumpkinize as well. Goodnight, all.

But what Rosen actually said was that Ann Romney ‘never worked a day in her life’………and that was stupid way of expressing what she meant to convey. It just takes some thoughtfulness. That’s all.

I agree that Hilary Rosen’s comment was less than artful. But the key problem was that the White House cut-and-ran, rather that simply pointing out that Mrs. Romney has never faced the economic challenges faced by the average American homemaker.

The problem is that they have the same cocky arrogance that Hilary Rosen had when she disparaged “stay at home moms.” They should get off that shit. Not apologize. And, then, say that Mrs. Romney has nothing in common with a typical American stay-at-home mom.” She had seven nannys to assist her.

Dearie, with all due respect and I respect your voice, there is no Left. They are just us, not a cognitive structure.
If we dismay the Left, we dismay us.
We don’t have to be so bloody focused on what the Right does. We’d be better served embracing who we are, and acting accordingly as individuals.
There are no leaders for the left to follow politically with the hope of winning. We’re all in this alone.[to quote Lily Tomlin]

Absolutely right. But don’t hold your breath waiting for the White House to “put on their walking shoes” …. or whatever. They are not on our side.

And how many times should she rehearse what she’s going to say, to get it just right? It’s not going to happen. Real debates are about passion as much as about logic. BTW, I provided the quote above. You might have to refresh to see it @142. She quite clearly stated exactly what I did.

I’m with you. And now, I’m actually going to go find some happy dreams!

You’re right. They most definitely are not on our side. They are on their side first, which, if it has any political philosophy at all, is conservative.

Sweet dreams, Dearie. I actually had a sweet dream the other night. They’re awesome!

Amen to that, Dearie.

I have ill will toward the whole bunch of them. They are cocky. They are arrogant. And, they are smug. And, it starts with their boss.

On this we can all agree. I saw Obama saying “What Michelle has to do. . .to be a Mom. Yada yada.” He is too close to the elite to distinguish his own self. Hope is lost, of this I am sure.

In Las Vegas, during the 2008 primary interview, Obama went into some significant Reagan hagiography and called the GOP, “the party of ideas.”

That fucker is not one of us. Last week he called the Ryan budget a “Trojan Horse.” IMHO, there is only one Trojan Horse in Washington, and it is him.

He’s the worst thing that’s happened to progressivism in decades. Reagan was certainly a problem, but progressives knew he was an adversary. A lot still don’t want to admit that Obama is an adversary, too, and that if we are going to be at all relevant in the coming years, we need to oppose him.

Well, with that, I really am out of here. Typing is becomeingi an issieu.

Goodnight, all.

We women need to not enter into the dog fight of taking another woman down on her merits of being an impregnated woman who gave birth.
Let’s just stop desecrating Womanhood. Let’s start thinking of women as 50% of the American population with Rights. Period.
I hate the infighting of who’s a better woman. That’s were They want us to be. Let’s don’t give Them the satisfaction.
Woman strong.

7 nannies. What a little slice of home that must have been.

LOL, I just read your comment. Sorry I missed it in real time. Perfect.

Ain’t that something”? I about shit! Right there in their state capitol. When I stopped giggling and laughing, I think that even my mom got it, in spite of however much Mormon religiosity appealed to hers.

Oy, it says it all.

I have to say, I miss the days when FDL would have a spontaneous Fuck Thread. Sometimes it sucks to be all growed up!

I miss the days when FDL would have a spontaneous Fuck Thread.

I not only miss it, but in fact I missed it. But I would vote for its return.

Totally OT and end of the night.
I just read a goofy thing over at jalopnik.com that still has me wiping laughter tears. They’ve got an article titled “This amazing dog rescue may be the coolest thing you see today” and the comment section is hilarious!
What a find. Laughter is so good.

Now we are Mature. No going back. No waving our freak flag.
Of all the things I just didn’t see coming, Maturity is the most daunting.
