Raqqa, Syria
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as ISIS, announced today that he would be disbanding all forces and returning all land to Syria and Iraq. The move was prompted by the ongoing Climate Conference in Paris.
"This is one thing we could not have anticipated," Mr. al-Baghdadi said in prepared remarks. "When we see the world coming together like this on such a dangerous subject as Global Climate Change, we realize that our Caliphate will never survive. It's only a matter of time before Climate Change is no more and the world's attention turns to us. At that point, we will have no chance. For the sake of the men, women, and children who have supported us, I can not continue a doomed campaign."
An emotional al-Baghdadi did not take any questions.
Sources close to al-Baghdadi who spoke on the condition of anonymity told us that it was becoming more and more difficult to recruit new fighters. "Even our existing people are extremely demoralized," one said. "The words of Donald Trump himself can not overcome our dispair."
According to their press release, surrender is total and immediate. Fighters are being paid and sent home by division. Any remaining money will be put into a fund to resettle Christians and Yazidis who have been displaced by the war.
"We thought the world was fragmented," one strategist was overheard saying to himself. "Who knew it could come together like this? This is a stinging rebuke."
So far there has been no comment from Damascus, Baghdad, Moscow, or Washington. One source inside the Kremlin said, "We are waiting to see if there will be any follow-up action. We want to make sure this is real before we decide on our next steps."
Which is exactly why I use Instant Breakfast Drink -- I don't have to slave over a hot stove to get something nourishing in my stomach. ;o]
And now, I'm off to the shower.
I decided to make the eggs. I remembered to turn the gas off, unlike Some People. Tom is taking a couple of brothers to Mass.
Do you have any Porn Brokers nearby?
Would be worth checking and asking if you do.
Thieves are more interested in the Drug value of items than the items themselves.
I’m crying over a stupid bunch of bracelets and I just learned that my niece with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia passed away yesterday morning. She was six.
Since these were girls that worked here, I’m pretty sure it was the vanity thing and they just wanted the jewelry of a “stupid honky.”
If guys had been working, then I could check the pawn shops (this is Vegas — they are on every corner, like used car lots.)
Okay ,
Still worth checking ,Face.
Even a Sherilla will cash shiny stuff in, for a bucket of KFC.
(((Hugs)))
(A Pox be upon the thief.)
Oh, I’m so sorry. {{{{{{Monkey Face}}}}}
Don’t feel bad about caring for your things, too. They were special to you because of what they represent.

On the good news side, when they took Swampsniper off life support yesterday, he woke up and started talking.
After just a little rest ...
Show Me More!
Show me more! Show me more!
I don’t want to be there yet.
For the things that I have seen so far,
I never will forget.
Let me see, let me be,
Let me look out through the glass,
A wondrous fascination comes,
With every thing we pass!
I have loved, I have touched,
I have hugged the world this much!
It’s been like a candy playland,
Filled with milkshake dreams and such!
Show me more! Show me more!
Do not make me old too soon.
I want to see the people out there,
Dancing on the moon!
Tell me shush, tell me hush,
Tell me I have been long blessed,
Then tell me there'll be more to see,
After just a little rest.

That is great news.
Swampy has a great perspective on life. No idea what angle it comes from, but I like it.
Sometimes good people get to hang around a little longer.
Nice, Bob.
Yes, that could be Molly. She got to go to Disney World two weeks ago, thanks to Make-A-Wish, and even though I lived in LA for two years, I never saw Disneyland or Universal Studios, or even the Clydesdales from Anheuser-Busch!
Great poem, Bob.
It was his sister, Mary Litwin, who gave those instructions.
It also keeps people out of the moat...
Ah. Great sister!!! <3
I’m glad he has rallied!
*tagline*
As are the people, and you can pick diamonds off the ground.
But you have to go to Branson, Misery for entertainment...
No foul play?
How many people leave two car doors open and just walk away?
LOL!
I’ll have you know that Misery is where I call “home,” although I don’t live there now.
Godspeed.
