  1. The cough I developed from the wildfire smoke has gone away. It happened after having a slice of fancy pumpkin pie for breakfast yesterday.

    3. My thought exactly, Cat; that’s why I decided to share it here. It was from an upscale bakery in Fresno. [Click]

    1. Oh my. Wouldn't it be a crying shame if Georgia Republicans were to boycott the runnoffs? *smirk*

    4. Yikes! Is that inflation or is that inflation?

    5. A group called Really American is running ads saying something like, "The Georgia Republican Party failed Trump. Don't vote Republican." The fundraising emails I get from them reveal that their private goal is to elect the Democratic candidates.

  3. Quiet night and so far a quiet day. We seem to be settling into a routine. My only complaint is that Mom always seems to be asleep whenever I go in to see her. So, I never have a chance to get her to try any kind of exercise. Sis is hostile to exercise, won't even give Mom her ball, which she likes. So the days go by and she's getting weaker instead of stronger, and there's not a whole lot I can do about it.

  4. Does anybody know how to contact the President Elect? One of the first things he needs to do is award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Neil Sedaka. How do I go about telling him that?

  7. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, Iran's top nuclear scientist, assassinated near Tehran https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-55105934

    What are DT and his autocrat buddies plotting?

    1. With no evidence whatsoever, this sounds more like Israel. Israel has a long record of such assassinations including, IIRC, one is which they killed a Swedish restaurant worker they mistook for their target.

    2. Sure seems interesting that Israel happened to assassinate the head of Iran's nuclear program just when DT has been trying to figure out a way to start war with Iran. Maybe his autocrat buddy Netanyahu is helping out.

  8. WaPo: Why did Democrats bleed House seats? A top analyst offers surprising answers. [Click] There were some other factors, but failure to refute GOP propaganda about how the Dems were Bolsheviks is a big one. I agree; it was shockingly obvious.

    1. It's always the same old story. Dems let Reps drive the narrative. But it was particularly egregious in south Florida with so many Cuban and Venezuelan immigrants for whom "socialist" is the filthiest word imaginable. Dems never learn.

    Woke up on the day after Thanksgiving to find I’d lost 1.4lbs since yesterday...!

    1. Hmmm. You'd become a multi-billionaire and a world heroine if you could figure out how to repeat that feat.

    2. When I was working as a short order cook (a long time ago), the day-long smell of the food killed my appetite. I ate because I knew I needed to, but no matter how good it might as well have been hay for all I could enjoy it. I once asked a cook at a little French restaurant if it was the same way with him, even though cooking more varied and fancier food, and he assured me it was. Maybe something with that sort of effect could be made into a spray, or into one of those odorizers that come in a bottle with a pull-up wick.

    3. YAH, Alan! I worked at a Dunkin Donuts with the constant sweet smell of donuts. I couldn't eat sugary pastries for years.

  11. Trump's furniture fail: that's not a desk, Donald – it's a table for TV dinners [Click] The photo of Jimmy Carter is taken at the C&O Desk; I hope that President Biden uses the Wilson Desk. In my opinion the Hoover Desk and the LBJ Desk are the two best-looking Oval Office desks, [Click] but they are not available. The Wilson Desk exudes power. Excuse me, but in my opinion the Resolute Desk is an artistic anachronism.

    1. "artistic anachronism" is a diplomatic substitute for my real opinion.
