huh! you can have this dang thunder storm thing....I am sick of rain and such.
A+
Never had a broken bone. Strange . . .
My heart is out to you, tD! You stay safe, and let us know when this thing passes.
Prayers out for you!
Me neither
Ditto.
Me neither. Or a sprain. But let’s not talk about dentistry.
Ok, it's been hours and no one has taken the bait, so I will.....
Born between two brothers?
What, no hospital bed available?
LOL
Thank you, Slip-I’ve missed all of you, too, but now I’m back. The next door neighbor is working out of state most if the time and usually takes Blondie the dyke and the Sheltie with her-she has had to go farther afield to make any decent money. The spook downstairs is actually a bit quieter now-maybe he is happier.
Oh, good grief-couldn’t they just get a room?
the overnight guys in a grocery store have nothing better to do than spy on them......they would park in the side lot by the break room windows and the guys even had a pair of binoculars.....I was shocked and stammered out she was married with twin boys and they hooted and money exchanged hands.......they had bets going. yep, the guys were thoroughly entertained and loved the drama. they were all strolling up front to check her out and were stunned when I greeted her like an old friend, dropped what I was doing to go open a register for her......they litterally surrounded me with questions when she had gone.....gosh those days were a hoot......never a dull moment there.
so the old commie cronkite croaked last night and tied up all fox news programming. boy that Ps me O. if we are going to have a trifecta, i offer up fellow travelers Carter and Castro! they would make a nice matched set.
dang, the thread was pulled with a no thanks...it must have been a good one.
I saw that-it seems that every time a well known newsperson dies, all the news networks have to eulogize them for at least 24 hrs-why I’ll never know. Whenever I hear them call commie Cronkite the most trusted man in America, I can hear my dad from across the years answering “not in this house!”.
“the thread was pulled”
I hate it when that happens...
I’ll tell you why they eulogize for 24 hours - so they don’t have to keep covering for the fact that they aren’t telling the truth about this administration..... I wouldn’t be surprised if they start offing famous people just so they can look busy
Neither would I-otherwise the poor dears might actually have to do a little work to get a story.
Honestly, I thought he was already dead.
