“It was chewing on a long string of cooked spaghetti,
and pulling it slowly through it’s little paws while it ate it!
It was so fun to watch! Their little “hands” are just so cute!”
I didn’t know they have little hands like raccoons. I love that. I just have to get past those teeth. We had one in our house and Bakersfield and it loved the avocados from my tree. I felt so bad for it, it was in a residential neighborhood and probably didn’t have much chances surviving one. So I just let him stay in our shed and eat the avocados.
How are you feeling today?
They have to bring two kittens in tomorrow. I brought a stool sample today and coccidia is alive and well unfortunately. And two kittens have ring worm. I vacillate between thinking I should be foster anymore because I don’t know how to do this or stuff. They all seem to have parasites and the Vets all seem to be guessing. On the other hand if they were out there trying to survive, many of the litter wouldn’t. I can’t even think about that .
15 Italian Deli Meats, Explained
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4201739/posts
Italian deli meats are known as salumi in Europe. Please don’t get it confused, however. Despite the name, this meat-mated art form isn’t limited to different dried renditions of sausage look-alikes (though there are plenty of them). All across the Mediterranean Boot, various regions have been crafting versions of salt-cured ham, aromatic-brined beef, and, yes, mold-encased salami for generations. Bursting with flavor and unique personalities, the most popular options are probably available at your local butcher today, and ready for you to order.

Margaret Morris may be unique among wartime diarists in history. As a devout Quaker, she was opposed to war regardless how noble the cause. As an American, she could see firsthand the cost of the bloodshed to all those who fought on both sides. Finally, since her opulent home lay in the strategic path of the battle lines, she could feel the impact on her fellow non-combatants in a most personal way. She is probably the most truly objective “war correspondent” in history, in that she never expected to be published at all.

Margaret Morris begins journaling the war in New Jersey
On this day in history, December 6, 1776, Margaret Morris begins journaling about the war in New Jersey, a diary she would keep for the next seven months. Her diary is one of the best sources for information about the early part of the American Revolution and how the war affected women, families and daily life.
Margaret Morris was a widow with four children who had moved to Burlington, New Jersey, after the death of her husband, Philadelphia merchant William Morris, Jr. She purchased the former home of New Jersey’s Royal Governor William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin, on Burlington’s “Green Bank,” a wealthy neighborhood surrounding a large green park area.
Margaret was a faithful Quaker, as many in Burlington were, and she was strictly against the war. She began writing in a journal on December 6, 1776, when she first heard that the British fleet was approaching Philadelphia. “People there were in great Commotion... the English fleet was in the River & hourly expected to sail up to the City... the inhabitants were removing into the Country... &... several persons of considerable repute had been discovered to have formed a design of setting fire to the City... When I heard the above report my heart almost died within me, & I cried surely the Lord will not punish the innocent with the guilty...”
Burlington was right in the crossroads of troop movements in New Jersey, being just 15 miles south of Trenton and 20 miles from Philadelphia. The Battle of Mount Holly was fought six miles from Margaret’s door. She writes of hiding in the cellar when Burlington was fired on from the Delaware River by “Gondola-men,” local militia patrolling the Delaware River, when they heard Hessian soldiers were staying in the town.
As a Quaker and a pacifist, Margaret didn’t favor either side in the war, but she was an amateur doctor and helped those in need on both sides. She writes of hiding a Tory supporter in her house who was being chased by the militia, and comforting and feeding American soldiers in the empty house next door. She wrote of the Hessians coming through town and the Continental Army staying in local homes. She wrote of her son nearly being killed by American troops when he was looking at them through a “spyglass” and was mistaken for a Loyalist supporter. She told of the fear that struck her every time soldiers came through town. Sometimes they would ransack local houses. Fortunately hers was spared.
Margaret wrote of hearing of Washington capturing the Hessians at the Battle of Trenton and speculating that their drunkenness was their downfall. She also writes of hearing the cannon fire from the Second Battle of Trenton a few days into the New Year. The soldiers staying next door turned out to be young Americans who had deserted because of the terrific battle.
Margaret also wrote of her deep faith in God through the war. She decided to stay at home, instead of fleeing as many in the area did. She frequently credited that “Guardian of the Widow & the Orphan,” with protecting her through each harrowing circumstance she faced.
Margaret Morris’ journal was preserved by family members and is a valuable source of information to historians. She later went on to write about the Yellow Fever epidemic of 1793 in Philadelphia and passed away in 1816 at the age of 79.

Stop dat!

Watch that video of the baby possum washing itself like a cat, and you can see it’s little “hands” while it grooms itself.
Pain came roaring in this evening unfortunately, so had to take some meds and lay down for a bit.
It’s better now, and thanks for asking.
It is only 15 degrees up here, and I had to go out
and pick up my new glasses, that probably didn’t help!
It’s supposed to go down to 9 degrees before morning!
BRRRR!!!!
Ain’t no coach seats that comfortable. Trust me on this. I would have found that airline.

Cannot be overstated the nuclear bomb that was the Harvard, Penn, and MIT testimony yesterday in front of Congress
Many wealthy Jews were giving the university presidents the benefit of the doubt and hoping they would course correct
Now in vivid detail, Jews are seeing that universities and their admins hate them
This is causing a massive civil war across the board
I hope Harvard, Penn, and MIT go bankrupt
I hope every Jew in the world is watching and donors pull their money and refuse to send their kids to these schools
Stop funding places that hate you and want you dead.

OK.I’m really confused about this. I thought Loomer, Gaetz, et al wanted all the RINOs out of Congress.
Surely they have a slate of electable replacements lined up to cover this exodus. They engineered it, so surely they were expecting it.
Right? Riiiiiiight...
Ha Ha Krispy!
I just saw a few clips of Vivek. Every time I listen to him I can’t help but think he’s working for Team Trump. I know it sounds crazy, but I can’t get past it lol. I feel like he’s there as a proxy, saying all kinds of great things that President Trump would like to have out there. If Vivek were to win a healthy number of voters away from the rino brigade, then eventually drop out and throw his support behind the president, it would be quite the move.

Wow. I thought he’d died years ago.
If ever there was proof that the good die young, this is it.

Nikki Haley bragging about Wall Street supporting her tells you how completely out of touch she is.
