Good morning!

The Shame Duck Session continues today, probably with votes on DADT repeal, and possibly a Senate vote on the START treaty.

It was noted that yesterday when 0 signed the compromise tax bill, Pelosi and Reid were not present.

As of last night, a budget "fix" had not been found.

Prayers your dad’s journey will be peaceful. You’re a good daughter.

[tillacum]

What a happy breakfast. I think we’ll copy that today.

[LBKQ]

You ARE a good daughter!
God bless you all as you go through this difficult time.
(((((Guennie)))))

[LBKQ]

Travel safely, dear!

[Geee]

Hopefully by Christmas Eve you will be up to full celebrating mode :)

See, THAT’S why I love late autumn; there’s a special, stark, simple beauty in that scene that you only get for a few weeks each year, wedged in between multi-colored October and pure white December. Some peple find that time very depressing; I think it has a beauty all its own.

[MozartLover]

((((Geee))))

[Jemian]

You have a gift. It is a gift of seeing beauty in all your surroundings. One of the things I liked from this sunrise is the deepening into the deep purple at the top. It was taken this December 6, I think, up in Minnesota.

[Jemian]

Yay! A victory for the good guys re: DREAM Act! 55 - 41!

[Jemian]

A win for the good guys!

Still praying about DADT.

[lysie]

Yay!

Praying as well.

I figured it was somewhere in the upper Midwest.

Speaking of surroundings, it does sometimes amaze me how quickly we adapt. Yesterday it was in the teens when I went shopping. As I left the store I did a quick survey of the 7 people going in and out the door at the time. 5 of the 7 (including myself) were wearing neither hat nor gloves. 1 person had gloves, no hat; 1 had hat, no gloves. Nobody looked cold, everybody was smiling.:)

When I got to school a day earlier it was around 0; but the sun was shining down and there was no wind. I actually felt warm by the time I walked through the parking lot.

Ev shoveled snow for 4 hours at Lambeau Field yesterday in 15 degrees and didn't blink. (Of course he has the advantage of his Army super high-tech long johns.;-)

[MustKnowHistory]

Indiana has to get rid of Lugar.

[lysie]

Yes. Words fail me.

[Geee]

I was amazed that I was warm and had to unzip my jacket at 19 degrees LOL!

[Molly Pitcher]

Oh that’s great...big defeat for 0!

[Jemian]

In a week of defeats.

[lysie]

I don't like my country being turned into a laughing stock by fools who only care about their own personal agendas not what is truly best for our country.

UK: Smokers and obese patients are being denied operations until they change their habits

Hmm - I wonder about HIV.....( I guess I won't ask and they won't tell )

Years ago, I was in mid-UK on business and there was a radio debate about his subject. Since medicinwe was socialized - the lefties wanted to deny coverage to people doing things they didn't approve of.
