DeleteThose sure are enough to impress me!

I remember how they looked in progress. It was a lot of careful folding and tacking down. The button in the middle was essential for hiding the last of the gathered stitches. But, oh, that button was uncomfortable.

Okay! Now how about the actors?
David Sirota: Blame the US supreme court for the Bob Menendez scandal [Click]
ReplyDeleteThe point is that convicting Mendez requires proving that he accepted payment for "performing an official act" and recent decision have greatly narrowed the definition of "official act."
DeleteUpdate: My PCP says I'm vaccinated because the vaccine went into my arm.
ReplyDeleteI have my doubts. My reaction to the vaccines has always been stronger than Wil's.
Wil was achy all night, is still achy, and his arm is sore.
I have had NO symptoms whatsoever, except a bruise on my arm.
We have to accept your PCP's opinion. This is a subject on which s/he knows more than I do. But I presume you'll want to get revaccinated as soon as you're eligible.
DeleteWhen I was about five, and getting ready to go to school, it turned out that smallpox vaccinations wouldn't work on me. And you couldn't to school without one. Investigation revealed that my mom had had smallpox as a child, and I'd been breast fed. That protection lasted until I was almost 40, and needed one to go to China to teach. Finally after repeated tries, got one to take. The next year, smallpox vaccinations were discontinued, world wide. Pretty sure I hold the world's record for most unsuccessful tries. . . .

No wonder I'm needle phobic!
ReplyDeleteMy worst experience along similar lines was when they put a central line into my arm for chemotherapy, because I didn't know what to expect. The first and second nurses couldn't get it in because the big vein they were aiming for kept rolling back and forth over the artery underneath it. [Puncturing the artery would NOT have been good.] They were beginning to to talk about having it done by a physician, and then the second one, or maybe the third, asked if I would mind her trying the other arm. By that time I knew what to expect and was pretty relaxed about it, so told her to go ahead. The relative positions of the blood vessels in that arm were way better, and it went right in without any trouble at all.

DeleteRight. The UK doesn't want invasive species.
DeleteThe Earmarks Adam Schiff Delivered for Donors [Click] Another reason not to vote for him, and it doesn’t surprise me one bit. When it became clear he was going to be a candidate for the Senate, I read his Wikipedia entry, and came to the conclusion that he was a finger-in-the-wind sort of politician, and had supported more than one type of law I did not, and do no, approve of. Three Strikes And You’re Out, for instance. I am still inclined to vote for vote for Barbara Lee in the primary for old times’sake, and for Katie Porter in the general election. But recent developments may make me rethink that.

I am currently donating to Lee. And if the general comes down to Porter and Schiff, I'll donate to Porter. (Incidentally, Our Revolution has endorsed Lee.)
DeleteBirds of a feather.
