Watching my Gord today. Poor little baby spent two nights in the hospital this week bc of being congested and having trouble breathing. His poor little preemie lungs! I need to nebulize him every four hours. His mom is going to work for the first time this week. We will need to work together so that her leave is not completely used up before winter even gets here. This is just the very beginning of the sickly season.

My neighbor called last night to say her car had been broken in to. The only thing stolen was her rosary beads. The Pope card she had was thrown on the floor. She was outraged about the card, I laughed and said something about this Pope. I think I shocked her. Oh, well. Interesting article. A++++

Poor Baby! Will pray for a happy healthy life for him.

[tioga]

Not to palter at all, but just sayin'.......only for the brave.

So often, we’ve seen Barry falter
Followed quickly by blather; he’ll palter
Makes me think that Ayn Rand
Truly did understand
Turned me into a steadfast John Galt-er

A++++ Excellent.
