Just Hanging Around

  1. I'm lead to believe, by very reliable sources, that Howard is most first.

  2. Not sleeping. Too damned cold. Causing foot cramps. Down to get calcium, and turn the heat on for a while, and get another comforter.

  3. So where'd my earlier comment go?

  4. Hope you got some sleep eventually. I was up a lot last night. Going to try for a nap now.

  5. Did: got some rag socks, my winter wooly, another comforter, and turned the space heater on for about an hour. Don't want too many of *these*. . . .

  9. I am. This totally counts as parenting duty but I can play on my computer while I wait.

  11. Bill, thanks for restoring my perspective. As you have no doubt noticed, it gets skewed from time to time.

    I share Susan's anger, frustration and disillusionment. At the same time, party loyalty is deeply ingrained in my makeup. It's not party loyalty that is tearing this country apart IMO, it's that the Republican party has radically changed in my lifetime. Used to be you could disagree with a republican but still admire his intelligence and regard him as a gentleman. Now, apart from a dwindlling few of the old guard like Hatch and Lugar(sp?), you'd be hard put to it to find either an intelligent person or a gentleman/lady in Republican ranks. (Needless to say, being a gentleman or lady has nothing to do with income level. Some of the nicest, most ladylike women I have ever met barely had two nickels to rub together.)

  13. My cousin Pat died today. She'd been sick for quite some time, but it's still terribly distressing.

    The fundamental change, as I see it, was Gingrich's Contract for America, which essentially forced Republicans into a litmus test of party loyalty. The result has been the bitter partisanship -- now on both sides -- that we see today. One reason I supported Obama is the primary was his pledge to provide a bipartisan presidency, but unfortunately the Republicans refused to cooperate.

  18. {{{ {{ ♥ Pat ♥ }} }}}

    May Pat rest in peace or dance in delight, whichever was more her desire.

  19. That's the problem with bipartisanship; like the tango, it takes two.

  20. Today I worked HARD at the Library, came home and ate lunch and took a nap. then went to pick up Granddaughter*in*Vermont for 5 hours of rollicking fun. When we picked her up her face and shirt displayed the deliciousness of the chocolate ice cream she had just consumed. So we brought her home, put all her clothes in the wash while she got to do watercolour painting. Then it was time to play with boats and bubbles and have a bath. After that it was time for dinner. After that she got dressed again and even allowed me to brush her hair and have SIX (count 'em!) sparkly barrettes put into her hair. :-D All through dinner and all the way back home to her house, she told us amazing stories about riding on blue jaguars and purple crocodiles and so on. Her imagination is such a joy! I think we have a budding fiction/fantasy writer in our midst. ;-)

  23. Thanks, friends.

    So far I've been doing well, staying busy and so not crying, but bedtime will be another matter.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thank you, listener. I like to think of her dancing.

    What was that I said about not crying?

    ReplyDelete
  25. It certainly sounds that way!

  26. There is nothing wrong with crying. Tears are love leaking out a bit. ♥
