Red/Blue politics now reaches the bathroom.

How do you say “you know…ummm…you know…ummm…you know” in Japanese?

Whew, everything is going to be fine.

Hey, you can splash dyed water from one tublet to the other. A chilly good morning to Hamsterville.

It’s coloredy lights, you philistine.

We had a saying in youth ministry: “Reds and blues – but NO PURPLES!”
The meaning was that we had to keep the adolescent mens and wimminzes separate from each other, especially at sleeping time. -
Well, regarding the “Where in the heck will we have Christmas this year?” saga, my sister has pointed out that she has a pool in her back yard, without a separate safety fence or barricade. (You mean that swimming pool might be an attractive and dangerous nuisance – maybe more so than a pile of weed-covered dirt?) Good on her for that disclaimer.
She also admitted that our beloved Aunt C., whom we love dearly but has serious mobility issues, will have trouble entering her home as well as entering mine. Granted, sister’s house isn’t quite the barricade that my porch steps are, but accommodations will still have to be made.
And Lovely has jumped in and pointed out that (1) care of the chirrenz is the responsibility of the adults, especially the parents of said chirrenz, and (2) that we had gathering at my father’s house which had all sorts of crap and issues in the yard, but we all survived over the years.
Thanks, Lovely. I appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Owner of the Death Trap -
And we wonder why folks “love to despise” Thanksgiving?
If ‘things’ cannot (or folks refuse to) be kept simple……….IMHO why bother? -
When you’re dealing with a dozen siblings or so, their grown children and their (some of them grown) children, and all the families are involved, it can’t help but get complicated. Christmas is the one time each year that we all make an effort to get together.
-
Oh, and we’re in transition. We all used to go to Dad’s for Christmas, but not this year. The one sister who started this whole thing has stirred up hornet nests before. I still haven’t heard from my bro&sis-in-law who originally offered to host Christmas – they’re not good at checking emails, especially with everything going on. For all I know, they don’t even know this is happening. I’ve been thinking about giving them a phone call to see if they know and/or agree with this process.

The awesome Turkey Day buffet at Landry’s is 100% planning & issue free!
-
Good morning Hamsters. Another beautiful day beckons before the latest cold front whooshes in dripping all over us, then chilling us. Slowly warming from a starry and clear 54 at 6 to a breezy 62 and clouds gathering at 9:30.
Those bathtubs above look to be much more comfortable than the Cialis old-fashioned tubs on feet, which certainly are weird parts of the Cialis commercial. The yin/yangs seem weird as well. And likely very pricey. They must take up quite a bit of space.
Even if we had room in our master bath and could afford them, I wouldn’t. -
Is that the Lucy O’Ball jacuzzi?

Jews and Whites have been / are being targeted for a “knock out” by black thugs.
Many aspects of these crimes are extremely painful to think about, including the fact that responsible authorities in New York seem to have been caught by surprise, even though this “knockout game” has been played for years by young black gangs in other cities and other states, against people besides Jews — the victims being either whites in general or people of Asian ancestry.
Attacks of this sort have been rampant in St. Louis. But they have also occurred in Massachusetts, Wisconsin and elsewhere. In Illinois the game has often been called “Polar Bear Hunting” by the young thugs, presumably because the targets are white.
The main reason for many people’s surprise is that the mainstream media have usually suppressed news about the “knockout game” or about other and larger forms of similar orchestrated racial violence in dozens of cities in every region of the country. Sometimes the attacks are reported, but only as isolated attacks by unspecified “teens” or “young people” against unspecified victims, without any reference to the racial makeup of the attackers or the victims — and with no mention of racial epithets by the young hoodlums exulting in their own “achievement.” -

The awesome Turkey Day buffet at Landry’s is 100% planning & issue free!
And for Turkey Day, that might be an option. Kelley’s Country Cookin’ will probably have a good spread as well, at a price we’re more likely able to handle. This is Christmas that the family is haggling over, so we have the added “do we give gifts, and to to whom?” question. They’re all leaning towards no gifts, but I’ve already purchased some (I buy throughout the year). And I know I’m not the only one.
I see a “black market” of gift exchanges going on out in the parking area this year. It’s happened before. -
Get a bucket of KFT, book a pavilion at the park, and chow down.
-
Mr Katfish is right, keep it simple for Thanksgiving.
Best Thanksgiving we ever had here was one year weather kept my brothers from coming down. This and a couple other disasters caused all our plans to go out the window.
Rather than go through all the gyrations for 4 people making the turkey and all that stuff, I built a pretty good sized bonfire got a couple cases of beer and hotdogs for for our meal. It was cold enough to bring the brass monkey in, but we sure had a good time sitting around the fire cooking hotdogs and drinking beer. Missed all the football games but yanno, we got our “thanks” on that day just sitting around telling stories and remembering the good things. -
#15 – aha Christmas (blew right over my head as I annually REFUSE to even THINK about Christmas until Thanksgiving is over)
carry on -

Leave the house on Thanksgiving?

We debated various easy ways to have T&D next Thursday, not involving me standing for any length of time. Decided on Luby’s. We can get piled-high plates of food for $11, and bring home doggy bags to simulate the usual leftovers. I’m also planning to get deli-sliced ham and turkey from Randall’s to make “leftover” sammiches. And of course a pecan pie.

#20 – Sarge – consider the ‘single’ bachelor motorcyclist for a moment
1. a leisurely cruise to whet the palate on a rare day of little or no traffic
2. always available seating at the BAR with multiple TVs for pigskin viewing (well away from any large groups in the dining area)
3. no dishes or clean up
4. no tupperware anywhere in sight
5. INCREDIBLE and extensive selection of entrees’, sides, and desserts
6. the only ‘slight’ downside might be a lack of a turkey sammitch a couple of days later………….. -
the two tubs are demonstration of a new preggo test
That color in the tubs is a new chemical to be put in swimming pools as an aid to identify if wimminz is preggo or not. Rather than pee on a “wand” and wait for the color to change they can enjoy a brisk swim, do what we all do in the pool and get their results. Since the results are immediate she does not have to spend a lot of time telling friends and family cause……. well heck it is right there for everyone to see.
For guys the color should always be blue. If not we know something really strange is going on and hilarity will surely ensue. -
4. no tupperware anywhere in sight
That alone is worth going out to eat on Thanksgiving Day

I think all the hoo haw about not shopping or going out on T’giving is just that. Open the frikkin stores and if you don’t want to work that day, don’t, and if you don’t want to shop that day, don’t.
It ain’t like restaurants and stores have never been open on T’giving and this comes a a shock to the system or something. I’ve had a decades long tradition of going to the movies on T’giving. Right after going to Luby’s.
I thought it was just my granola munching Yankee relatives caterwauling about it, until yesterday. -
#3 Texanadian, she makes perfect sense because AHYTHING that they say is ALWAYS 180 degrees from the truth. 🙁

Oh you can BET I aint going to be doing ANY shopping!!!!

I don’t worry so much about blue water as I do the yellow stuff.

squack paddles around in the porcelain pool

Speaking of blue water and dangers therefrom…

Uhhhh NO!

How does one make a wrong turn…

A little palate cleanser as they say – I didn’t agree with Dubbya as much as a lot of folks seem to think I (we) did…………..but he was, IS, and always WILL BE a class act (and Laura too!)
Video: Bush does “The Tonight Show” -
Now we’re making people work on Thanksgiving at Landry’s, KFC’s, Kelley’s and Luby’s.

Just seen in Bryan on Baptist Church sign…
“Party in Hell cancelled due to fire.” -
I thought it was just my granola munching Yankee relatives caterwauling about it, until yesterday.
I think you’re confused about the nature of the complaint. Can’t speak for your caterwauling relatives, but for me…
In the retail sense, Black Friday “sales” being started on Thanksgiving Day didn’t start until just a few years ago. That’s the part that smacks of crass consumerism and blatant greed. It’s a very different thing than a restaurant or movie theater being open on Thanksgiving Day, which I really have no issue with whatsoever. -
Let’s all go over to the Death Dome and build a ramp. I’ll supervise.
-
With a little bit of ingenuity we could build the ramp so you could ride a dirt bike up to and across the inside of the dome, back down and out the back door.

If it wasn’t popular, they wouldn’t be doing it.
Y’all stay home.
Most of my Christmas shopping is was started a few weeks ago, and I’ll finish it tonite with the thread injector.
Quilts for everybody! (in the fambly). -
Quilts for everybody!
I need one about seven feet long. I’m really tired of these short ones that leave your feet sticking out if you cover up to your shoulders.
-
I asked my mother and her sister “Aren’t you old ladies old enough to start making quilts?” I wan’t to have 40 years of concert tee shirts turned into something useful. They never answered me.
-
I remember my great grandmother and all her sisters had a big frame suspended from the ceiling in the “Florida Room” (now there’s a term I’ve never heard in Texas) where they all sat around and made quilts.
-
My great grandmother on daddy’s side had the quilt frame resting on the backs of straight back chairs. Most of the furniture had been removed since it pretty much filled up the parlor. The aunts would sit on chairs or stools to do the quilting.
-

Ah.
The adult size. Seven by five feet, 5 oz/yd Climashield APEX, coyote brown inner and MarPat outer layer.
The young’uns get six footers -

In my effort to be a kinder, gentler more helpful person i think I have found YOUR solution till Sarge gets your quilt made. Appropriate for political blogging btw.

Okay, I retract my earlier statement. You’re not confused, just incredibly obtuse.

I do both as well. I enjoy a swim and pee in the pool and I’ve yet to be tested preggo.

Blue water:
For reasons unknown even to the best physicians in the king’s service, His Majesty’s personal plumbing is malfunctioning. In fact, his water seems to have turned an alarming shade of blue.

Niki and I watched that movie some years ago and found it enjoyable and quite interesting. -

OLD TRUTHS – STILL TRUE
We hang petty thieves and appoint the great thieves to public office.
~Aesop, Greek slave & fable author
Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.
~Plato, ancient Greek Philosopher
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river.
~Nikita Khrushchev, Russian Soviet politician
When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I’m beginning to believe it.
~Quoted in ‘Clarence Darrow for the Defense’ by Irving Stone.
Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnel.
~John Quinton, American actor/writer
Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.
~Oscar Ameringer, “the Mark Twain of American Socialism.”
I offered my opponents a deal: “If they stop telling lies about me, I will stop telling the truth about them”.
~Adlai Stevenson, campaign speech, 1952..
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country.
~Texas Guinan. 19th century American businessman
I have come to the conclusion that politics is too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
~Charles de Gaulle, French general & politician
Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.
~Doug Larson (English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924
Olympic Games in Paris, 1902-1981)
I am reminded of a joke: What happens if a politician drowns in a river? That is pollution.
What happens if all of them drown? That is solution!!! -

So Mr. Senile lost his iPhone yesterday. Thankfully he had a 99 cent upgrade due, so I guess the boss man won’t be too twisted off about it.
After playing with it for a day, I believe my YouTube loading problems are over.
So get it on Phil. And SQK. And others. -

Texas Guinan was a woman. She operated a Prohibition era Speakeasy in NYC and was famous for the opening line “Hello Suckers”.
She was from Texas; therefore it was slightly accurate.

Checking in for the first time today:
My Bro in Law has made remarkable improvement, the stroke was on the right side of his brain which causes left side impairment.
1) he can raise the left arm over the head and wiggle fingers
2) he can raise his left leg off the bed and bend the knee and wiggle the toes all with the leg off the bed.
3) Swallowing was a problem, and that is reducing in severity.
4) Speech is not as slurred
5) the muscle tone on the left side of the face is improving
6) The left eye is able to track a finger, even when the right eye is covered. I held up the bad finger and asked him to tell me how many fingers he saw, he saw one and could identify which one it was.
I got there about 9am and left about 5pm and could see a pretty could improvement just today. I am optimistic that he will make a wonderful recovery. Many thanks for all of your prayers and warm wishes, please do not stop.
May HIS BLESSINGS be upon each and every one of you. -
Good news about your BIL’s rapid recovery; hope it is complete as it continues.

After meeting with several Obamacare Navigators who openly encouraged our undercover reporters to lie about income status, health history and more, it became clear that personal data was also being “cross-pollinated.”
Enter Enroll America, a Sebelius-linked group dedicated to signing people up for Obamacare and Chris Tarango, Texas Enroll America Communications Director who Project Veritas caught on tape agreeing to help obtain a private list of potential Obamacare enrollee data for election/political purposes. Tarango goes so far to say he’ll “Do whatever it f****** takes.”
