I took the weekend off, what with church and family and such, and find everyone else did, too.
So, here ya’ go…
THAT should spark some discussion!
Remember that this is Holy Week. Palm Sunday was yesterday, so the King has entered Jerusalem, and the final events leading to Jesus’ death and our eternal life begin.
So the Huskies won in great fashion tonight, the crowd attending was from what I could see orderly and enthusiastic. Lots of folks of all ages who know how to conduct themselves and make sure their kids also do at events of all kinds. Great celebrations with no idiots ruining the evening for everybody. And delightfully, many folks in town… Read more »
All best Blessings EG!
At the end of the course, I feel like I’ve been on an amphetamine bender for a week..
Texmo, I can empathize. Heavy dose Prednisone is one of my last resort options when my back really goes out and I can barely walk. I keep a course on hand at all times. I think it’s been a year since I’ve had to take it. (60mg for three days, 40mg for two days, 20mg for two days, 10mg for… Read more »
Before they give me chemo, they give me some antiemetics one of which is a steroid. It’s after 10 pm and I don’t think I’ll be able to fall asleep for a while. I’ve been dealing with some insomnia as well lately. I’ll sleep from 10 pm – 1 am and then I can’t fall back asleep until 4 am… Read more »
Shannon my favorite dog function is the built in door bell / knock repeater in a vocalized form. This morning my MIL came over to take me to my chemo infusion. I was brushing my teeth and did not hear the doorbell. I most certainly heard my Ridgeback barking and knew it was probably her at the door.
Gordo, prayers for steady hands for the surgeon and a speedy and complete recovery for you.
Beagle life.
I am not a basketball fan, but I have always enjoyed the Sweet 16.
Back in the old days, when the Rockets were winning national championships, I got to attend a few games.
I was shocked at how much standing around goes on in the pro game.
These college guys work their butts off.
Adee
As predicted, it’s a blowout.
Out of curiosity I’m watching the championship basketball game tonight. Had forgotten how much energy those players must expend to be constantly moving so fast. Wonder how much that energy is equivalent to how many miles of cross-country running. I’m just about exhausted watching it.
I’m for the Huskies for the simple reason I love their mascot.
Better to use a Sharpie.
”Do Not Cut Here”
If there’s enough room.
Tie a little ribbon on the parts you want to keep.
Then again, if you do the full monty, at least no more prostate problem. 🙂
Dear El Gordo,
Prayers for you and a most successful surgery, recovery, and time to get back to us. 🙂
La Gorda
El Gordo
Make sure you go into the surgery department for hernias and not the Transgender Affirmation department. We don’t want you to come back to San Saba as El Gorda.
#18: Ditto from me, EG!

Good old Charlie. What a character.
GOOD LUCK AND GODSPEED TOMORROW, ElGordo.

I don’t even like Gwyneth Paltrow, but I’m glad she won this lawsuit. After all, the old man smashed into her, not vice versa.
For whatever reason Netflix has “Charlie Wilson’s War” back in the top rotation, I remember watching it many years ago. I may talk the wife into watching it tonight. The good old days when a liberal Democrat could still be a patriot.
Shannon
That’s disgusting.
There’s a special place in hell for those who screw with with the kids and the mentally ill.

It took longer than I thought, but I got two tubs filled and planted today. All of my bean seedlings have a home, and I planted some collards and echinacea flowers. Next up – I have five tomato plants that are getting to be a pretty good size for their pots. I have a few more tubs from last year… Read more »
#7 – TP IMHO epoch times isn’t worth 15 cents!
Without exception EVERY email alert I receive from them is 2 day old news.
Good Afternoon Hamsters, Lots of good stuff already posted today, and thanks to the folks here who find these interesting items and pass them on to Hamsters and those other folks who read them but haven’t yet introduced themselves. 🙂 Sunshine has been hiding behind some high clouds, and it is only 84 degrees here with some humidity thrown in. … Read more »
I would not have guessed that “Country Music” would be despoiled by degenerate performers or fans.
But there was a time when I was stunned to realize that Disney had been contaminated.
At the CMT Music Awards last night, country singer Kelsea Ballerini, who was also co-hosting the event, performed her song “If You Go Down (I’m Going Down Too)” with four drag queens from the show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” dancing around her. The performance was a glaring display of full-blown wokeness and support for cross-dressing men and sexual degeneracy, from the… Read more »
It is way past time to indict Mayorkas for perjury. I would even go so far as to use the “T” word, as he is giving aid and comfort to our enemy (China) in a time of war. We are at war with China right now and it is an economic war which we are badly losing.
In addition, as noted China expert Gordon Chang told Newsmax, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is entering the country through the border, as well. During an appearance on “America Right Now,” Chang said: Michael Yon, the war correspondent who’s been spending his time in the Darién Gap, where these migrants … flow through has been saying he’s been seeing …… Read more »
Popping in for a brief cooldown and paper shredding session. Re the insurance story: I’ve said from the very beginning that the insurance industry was going to be hit. What will they do with the “excess deaths” and those payoffs, while losing those customers who’ve been paying in? Add to that the pending of a probable economic depression, if not… Read more »
I’ve been trying to find any articles written by the insurance analyst, Josh Stirling, who has been studying the excess deaths data in countries around the world. Unfortunately, he seems to have a deal with Epoch Times TV to release his reports through them behind a paywall. Although I did sign up for Fox Nation for a year at $23,… Read more »
The lies being told about “green energy” are as big as any ever peddled to the human race. Consider an article this week by Denver-based writer Michael Thomas headlined, “A Fossil Fuel Economic Requires 535X More Mining Than A Clean Energy Economy.” A thread based on the article was viewed 244,500 times and liked more than 2,000 times. Thomas, who… Read more »
Morning, gang. I need to buckle down and locate all my paperwork to get started on 2022 income tax. No more “Later” excuses.
We don’t seem to have any Richard Feynmans these days and that is a shame. The Feynman Technique is a learning method that prioritizes simplicity to build depth of understanding. It takes its name after Richard Feynman—an American theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in 1965 for his groundbreaking work in quantum electrodynamics. Richard Feynman was certainly intelligent. But… Read more »
Law professor Seth Barrett Tillman points to the lack of integrity at National Review Actually, we do not know that Trump slept with Daniels. Only Trump and Daniels would know. There are no photographs or videos—something Daniels might know about. Nor has Daniels produced any physical evidence supporting her allegations. We just have her word for it. What we do… Read more »
Now that I’ve loosened up a bit, I need to get some tubs ready for all the asparagus bean seedlings I have.
I have a deadline, before they get too big for their little peat pots. And they’re growing fast!
I want to see this indie movie: His Only Son I don’t know how long it’ll be in the theaters, so I guess I need to make it a priority. The Angel Studios’ film, the first in its new wave of theatrical releases, came in third place in early box office estimates over the weekend. Deadline.com reports the faith-based drama… Read more »
I laid down on the sofa to keep my back from going out last evening and conked out.
From the C&C comments: It’s not a new subway line, it’s a new temperature controlled, weather protected homeless shelter. With that many escalators down seems more like a fallout shelter! *** They’ve disclosed the cause of death for Florida Judge Kevin Carroll. … sudden cardiac arrest. https://www.bevisfh.com/obituaries/Kevin-Carroll-5/#!/Obituary In lieu of flowers, they ask you to donate to the American Heart… Read more »
Good morning fellow couch dwellers. I am a bit sore from yesterday’s activities; that tells me I need to do that sort of thing more frequently.

And in OMG! stories, Maryland’s Election Administrator suddenly resigned to go spend more time with her family, or something. Because when asked for a response to O’Keefe’s expose, she’d rather tuck tail and run than dance to her own music. May she be the first to find solace in the loving arms of her family, jobless and I hope without… Read more »
I hadn’t thought about the political restrictions related to the move away from the American dollar: Over the weekend, media reported on a new agreement between China and Brazil — the second-largest economy in the southern Western Hemisphere — where the two countries agreed to deal with each other in their own currencies, and NOT the dollar. Yesterday, Marco Rubio… Read more »
Speaking of insanity – we need to remove the word “bailout” from the vocabulary of anyone holding a position in any government: The Wall Street Journal ran an op-ed this weekend with the self-obvious headline, “The Coming Biden Bailout of Blue States and Cities.” The subheadline explained, “Taxpayers will be on the hook for mismanaged pensions and projects from stadiums… Read more »
Childers reports on Cracker Barrel following Wal-Mart, as the exodus from Portland, OR, continues. In recent months, Wal-Mart and Nike also shuttered their Portland locations after record shoplifting and petty crime. Not to mention dangerous environments for employees. So. Eventually these rapidly-dissolving woke cities will need someone smarter or stronger to take over. I believe the phrase is: “You get… Read more »
Now, on to Florida good legislation news: In good news, Florida’s Voice News ran a story late last week headlined, “Senate Passes Bill Ending Automatic Teachers Union Deductions.” Under the bill, which narrowly passed the Senate 23-17, requires unions to: have annual audits stop automatically deducting union dues disclose to members the top-five highest-paid union employees and salaries revoke membership… Read more »
Next up, Childers reports that Saudi, et al, are getting ready to cut back production. Gee, I wish there was another source of energy that we could tap into so we wouldn’t be at the mercy of foreign powers…. Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil producer, which Joe Biden just drove into the arms of the Russia-China axis, announced surprise… Read more »
