Turkey Day Open Comments

Before:
Turkey wild

After:
Turkey cooked

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Things I am thankful for (in no particular order):
God – For life and salvation, a future of hope
Husband – he ain’t perfect, but he loves me and does what he can to care for me
Family – even those that bug the ever-loving crap out of me
Blogger family – y’all keep me sane
Health – everything works, ‘ceptin a few aches and pains
Friends – there are actually people who put up with me on a regular basis, God bless ’em
Church helpers – Couldn’t do what I do without my faithful entourage helping me manage my class
Students – Seeing the light bulbs go off over their heads is truly fulfilling. And they amuse me.
Shelter – I have a roof over my head, there are those who don’t
Vehicle – I have the ability to move and go whenever and wherever I wish. There are those who can’t.
Appliances – I live in a house with all sorts of machines that make my life easier, and it’s easy to take it for granted
Job – I have something to do, and I have money to manage. On good days.
Clothing – I can keep warm in the cold weather. I don’t have to pick them out of a trash dump or donation pile
Leisure – I can take some down time to feed my soul and be creative.

This is only part of what I am thankful for. Please feel free to add your own.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the Obama administrationโ€™s health-policy architect, says he has no desire to live beyond 75, so heโ€™s forgoing all treatment, including PSA tests. Heโ€™s entitled. But the rest of us who value life, including our own, need to know the facts. The Obama administrationโ€™s war on PSA tests is, in Williamsโ€™ opinion, โ€œa cold-hearted decision based on cost.โ€… Read more »

Oh Harper, we know youโ€™ll decide on the way to the booth.

Nope. If I can’t find out enough to decide beforehand and put on my written list, I may skip that office. That surely will not happen with President. Good lord, do I seem like I’m nuts?

You forgot the golden rule of the American Goebbels Media School of Propaganda 101.

This is real bad journalism. HEADLINE: Scientists capture black hole eating a star and then vomiting it back out No video presentations, no photos, just a cartoon, yet the headline says the images were “captured”. They have previously said that nothing can escape a black hole, not even light. Now stuff escapes when a black hole eats a star and… Read more »

Micheal Bloomberg endorses Ted Cruz and Ben Carson.

At least in my book, this is a recommendation that voting for either one of them is a good idea.

The Federal govt will obviously fail miserably on their part of vetting, but the states will have to comply to the letter or face consequences.
This kind of crap will almost guarantee an Article 5 convention. The commencement of which could cause JugEars to suspend the Constitution.

I decided this morning to put some dried pintos in the pot to soak. Normally I soak them overnight, but I wanted to see if they were ready to cook this evening, so I looked on the internet to see just how long beans should soak before they were ready to cook. Well, as you might imagine, there are hundreds… Read more »

I’m not going to decide who I will OR absolutely won’t vote for until we get to the convention. I dunno what’s going to happen between now and then. Sure, I prefer Cruz because he is intelligence personified, while Trump is just Trump personified. But let’s see what happens.

I really don’t think that JEB! will make it past the first 5 primaries. Ditto that for Kasich, Fatso, Gilmore, Ptaki and the rest of the perpetual undercard. I figure after the first 5 there will be about 5 left in the race.
