Broke on Fox News within the last hour. The Apollo theater was showing a family show “The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime.” Injuries have been reported.

A Westchester school was locked down this morning when a middle-aged man tried to enter with a gun on his waist.

Putnam County clerk refuses to release names of gun owners to the paper who published names of gun owners on a map.

If I could ask for prayers for my brother-in-law and his mother (My mother-in-law). She is 80 years old and has cared for him since he was diagnosed with schizophrenia in his early 20's. He has lung cancer and hospice was called in today to set up his bed, etc. She is devastated. They had a very special bond. We wanted him to make it to Christmas. He is looking forward to the family being there.

Yesterday I saw something in my neighborhood that I've never seen in my lifetime. One of the neighborhood churches was handing out free food and the line wound down the street for quite a distance. Families with small children, elderly and young alike, standing in the cold waiting for their turn. My parents and grandparents told stories of the depression and food/soup lines. They worked so hard to prevent that from happening again. There, but for the grace of God, goes any one of us and I am afraid that if things don't change, many of us will find ourselves...

I found out Wednesday that Mr. MWestMom has some blocked arteries. That explains the fatigue, shortness of breath and eventually, the gripping chest pain. I finally talked him into the doc and they wasted no time in testing lungs and heart. Lungs fine, heart has two blocked arteries. So, Wed. the 5th he'll be undergoing angioplasty and hopefully they can fix the issue with stints. We would appreciate any and all prayers that the procedure is all that is needed and goes well. Thank you so much in advance for your thoughts and prayers! Ladies, make sure you lean on...

I've never posted, and I can't believe that this is going to be my first post. But, I needed a laugh today and this did the trick. So, for your enjoyment: I met a fairy today who said she would grant me one wish. "I want to live foreve...r," I said. "Sorry" said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that!" "Fine," I said, "I want to die after the Democrats get their heads out of their asses!" "You crafty bastard," said the fairy.
