She has chronic pain..It is just worse with the herniated discs.
Thank you for keeping her in your prayers, (((Amy)).
Yhank you, Jane..Billie sent me the graphic..
I can relate very well with that. Have an appt in mid-Jan for a spinal injection. Hope it works this time. I'm getting tired of falling down when my leg collapses beneath me. The dogs love it though when I get down to their level. :)
She is experiencing “stumblitis”.They are in the process of packing, discarding, etc for a move..Terrible timing..
She cannot get a shot til the 10th..I pray yours and hers work, Dave.
We got snow, but it didn’t stick and the roads were still
warm enough that it never got icy. Tonight might be another
story. We’ll see if I can get to work tomorrow! I have a
20-mile drive! LOL!
I do hope your roads are not icy tommorow..Stay safe, (((LUV)))
How sweet is your little girl and the poem by Karen Barnes, jaycee!
Love that scene you posted - looks like a huge red barn, but it must be somebody's house, by the looks of the chimney and the 'front door'. Very pretty and so tranquil!
Thank you, Billie!!
Awwww~~~~so sweet and also thank you, Meg!
Good to hear the news about your FIL, Dave - a chocolate milk shake would be a good choice for first ‘food’ after so many days without being able to eat!
Thank you, kitty, and as always, you post the sweetest little goodnight babies! Love sleeping animals. They are so innocent and sweet.
Obama gives foreign cops new police powers in U.S.
Sovereignty apparently set aside as agency exempted from law

A little-discussed executive order from President Obama giving foreign cops new police powers in the United States by exempting them from such drudgery as compliance with the Freedom of Information Act is raising alarm among commentators who say INTERPOL already had most of the same privileges as diplomats.
That means, van der Galien wrote today, “this foreign law enforcement organization can operate free of an important safeguard against government and abuse.”
“’Property and assets,’ including the organization’s records, cannot be searched or seized. Their physical locations are now immune from U.S. legal or investigative authorities,” he wrote.
At the ThreatsWatch.org website, authors Steve Schippert, and Clyde Middleton gave their interpretation of the result.
“In light of what we know and can observe, it is our logical conclusion that President Obama’s Executive Order amending President Ronald Reagans’ 1983 EO 12425 and placing INTERPOL above the United States Constitution and beyond the legal reach of our own top law enforcement is a precursor to more damaging moves,” they wrote.
“When the paths on the road map converge – Iraq withdrawal, Guantánamo closure, perceived American image improved internationally, and an empowered INTERPOL in the United States – it is probable that President Barack Obama will once again make America a signatory to the International Criminal Court.
It will be a move that surrenders American sovereignty to an international body whose INTERPOL enforcement arm has already been elevated above the Constitution and American domestic law enforcement,” they said.
“Ultimately, a detailed verbal explanation is due the American public from the President of the United States detailing why an international law enforcement arm assisting a court we are not a signatory to, has been elevated above our Constitution upon our soil.”
Obama’s decision, analysts have concluded, exempted Interpol from all restrictions.
“This international law enforcement body now operates – now operates – on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests,” ThreatsWatch reported.
With Obama’s change, “It means that we have an international police force authorized to act within the United States that is no longer subject to 4th Amendment Search and Seizure.”
Anthony Martin at the Examiner noted the international agency can now operate in the U.S. with “full immunity” from U.S. laws, and “with complete independence from oversight from the FBI.”
At National Review Andy McCarthy asked, “Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American people to scrutinize?”
“By this EO, Obama has conferred diplomatic immunity upon INTERPOL, exemption from being subject to search and seizure by law enforcement, exemption from U.S. taxes and immunity from FOIA requests, etc.
Does INTERPOL have a file on Obama – or his associations?
Thanks, Megs! You stay warm and safe, too! (((hugs)))
I slept until NINE O'CLOCK this morning! Then I started making a pot of vegetable beef soup before posting the thread. It's going to taste so good tonight, especially after all the rich food we've been having lately. :)
It's an 'old' picture of our front yard after an ice storm we had two or three years ago. Prettiest icey trees we've ever had. :)
Amy, I do hope to get back to making some 'new' openings for the 'new' thread coming up in the 'new' year.
Hope you all have the best time at Chuck E Cheese this afternoon - that's a fun place, and good pizza too! :)
Poor doggie looks COLD to me! Brrrrrr! Such a cute picture though!
