This is totally unrelated and I don’t normally veer off into celebrity culture, but I always liked this woman who was the butt of jokes and mocking from the Hollywood gasbags. They wanted to portray Somers as the dumb blonde bimbo, but she was a long-time devoted wife, mother and astute businesswoman for many years. You never heard of Suzanne Somers entangled in lewd and lascivious common behavior of the current Tinseltown celebrities. You can make fun of ThighMasters all you want, but she was raking in millions because hundreds of thousands of people bought them. Women loved Suzanne Somers….they wanted to be Suzanne Somers.
She is 69 years old here and already 15 years into a 23 year battle against breast cancer. She was tough and this woman had a lot of guts.
RIP Suzanne.
Cool.
#37 Shannon – Squawk and I just realized that we haven’t seen her since we got the new TV hooked up – I guess there’s a special filter on Sony Bravia to prevent damage to the screen 🙂
I never understood the commentary about the Jardience singing plumper commercial.
But it just ran on my TV.
Pretty bad.
I’ve had a couple of brief “lost” experiences in parking garages. But the worst episode in my life was at the Astrodome during the Livestock Show & Rodeo. My 7 year old daughter was with me and it was one of maybe two of the coldest February nights I recall in my life in Texas. We went to the livestock… Read more »
Shannon – no need to check anymore… they won’t be on TV anymore this year 🙁
Wow. Social Security emails that I’m getting a 3.2% COLA.
Better than a poke in the eye with a stick, I guess.
I never checked my email today, either.
Man, that was a mistake.
However, there is so much going on in this world at the moment I could have posted 40 times today if I had the time. That’s really bad because I went full Hermit today. Never checked CitizenFreePress or any other site, except Hamous. Never left the house. Didn’t even go up to the mailbox. It never occurred to me to… Read more »
All the wind today really stirred up the pollens of every sort, so naturally the ragweed was the top of the list or second on the list. First on the list was equally miserable. What a two-some that made.
Kleenex to the rescue, and that makes me think about investigating Kimberly Clark stock.
Our desktop weather station is showing rain for tonight and a low in the upper 40s. We’re down to 58 already. Put my hand on the window in the front door to check, and yup it is cold. And that little window is double-pane.
21 bsue
I too have learned to do that.
And though Patience has never been one of my virtues, I now will drive round and round for a long time waiting for a Handicap Space to become available, which are usually close to the elevator in a parking garage.
#26 – you’ll be surprised at how entering the info in your phone will help solidify it in your memory (ask me how I know LOL)… And that second garage there at MH-Northwest confused the heck out of everything over there – that one almost even defied my method because I went out the open side, I didn’t realize there… Read more »
The new clocks on the pitchers and batters has really improved the game.
If you can get it, great pitching always beats great hitting.
#21 Bsue
Thanks for the tip! It is scary that I was CERTAIN which half of the gigantic structure I had left the car in, only to finally find it in the other side. I can no longer expect my memory to get the job done.
As a Senior, it is quite terrifying to lose your vehicle. It happened to me twice during the weeks that Fay was in Ben Taub Hospital. And always well after dark. I was commuting daily from Bellville and physically/mentally running on empty. Wandering around different levels of that parking garage. I bought my first carry weapon after that ordeal. The… Read more »
Today’s Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is from Alvin, Texas.
Even Nolan never mastered five different pitches.
Helluva performance.
On that note:
Utah NIL collective gifts brand-new Dodge Ram 1500 trucks to all 85 scholarship football players
When I saw this story the first thing I thought about was 85 Dodge trucks in the parking lot, with only so many different colors, all these players out there clicking their remotes trying to find their truck. 😀

That’s what I always do as well BSue, usually don’t need it but I’m always afraid I will forget.
MHarper42 – I thought it might be worth sharing a tip someone shared with me when I was still parking at Hermann every day… I ALWAYS parked in the same place – on the rare occasion I could NOT, I took out my phone, took a picture of the level sign and made the caption which garage… Just a suggestion…
Shut down at home.
so what else is new?
OMG, I am hopelessly senile. I had a medical checkup at UT Health (new location on the West Loop) today. Everything was fine so I was leaving at 4 pm to head home. Glad to get a small jump on the worst traffic on the West Loop. Well, I could not find my car where I was dead certain I… Read more »
Thank the Lord I don’t have to watch Pressley pitch again today.
I may have made a mistake giving Fay’s nitroglycerin to Texpat.
I’ve been very busy with doctors’ offices, a drug company and insurance outfits today. It is amazing how these people can eat up your whole day as if they are the only with things to do in life. I don’t want to turn this site into a all Israel/Hamas news aggregator as much as the temptation exists. However, there is… Read more »
I’ve had it up to here with Taveres.
Time for Chaz to connect.
Arrrrrrrrgh!
Com’ on, guys.
How nice it was my morning walk with the physical therapist up and down our long driveway 4 times in this lovely cool breeze. I was at last cool enough to wear a long-sleeved shirt. And having that wonderful fresh air instead of thrice-warmed air that limped over us before it finally got pushed out. We’re supposed to enjoy this… Read more »
#12 Shannon – been that way this whole series… HARRUMPH… Bah HUMBUG… yuck
Bases loaded. No outs.
No runs.
Unbelievable.
Good grief.
Yup and this is definitely one of those exceptions. The Bastard got what was coming to him.
Would someone PLEASE return the team bus with the REAL Astros on it????
I’ve finished all of the baby rosaries for the young’uns. Now, I have to get Hubby’s dinner on a plate for him for later, gather some stuff, and get ready to head out for some errands.
Now that I’ve been told I can use the leg.
Freedom. So sweet.
This was horrible. This driver had the worst of luck. The driver of a semi truck was killed on Interstate 25 in southern Colorado when a coal train derailed late Sunday afternoon as it was passing over the interstate a few miles north of Pueblo. Interstate 25 remained shut down on Monday morning. The photos are incredible. What a tragedy and… Read more »

A chilly good morning, gang! I got a kick out of seeing Billy Cat eating a big bowl of breakfast on the patio, while 3 feet away, 2 pigeons and 1 dove were scoring on some corn kernels scattered around and left from last night. As soon as Billy finished and wandered off, I put out fresh corn-and-sunflower-seeds for the… Read more »

Nobody wants to see someone else get shot and probably die, but there are those rare exceptions to the rule.
I enjoyed this Hamas GoPro video in Kibbutz Sufa. Damn the bad luck.
#5 Tedtam – HOORAY!!!! PTL… Not that those unscheduled “rave” parties are any fun – but so much better news than it coulda been!!!!
Good news. Nothing major, and I’m to burn my crutches. Pace myself and do some special exercises. If necessary, I may have to get a cortisone shot later. Ice will be my friend for a while, but I can exercise. I’m already taking the meds the doc suggested. It’s not ligament damage, as was suspected. Just a party of sorts… Read more »
G’Morning, and prayers for TedTam’s knee (at least I think that’s the misbehaving part)… for answers – and a plan to get things back under control… for SS’s family… and for the Astros to remember where they left their bats – maybe they need “hats for bats” like in the movie “Major League”… And it’s 52 here in the woods… Read more »
Edward Blum’s group, American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER), recently filed lawsuits against two law firms, prompting them to change the criteria for their fellowships. The group sent letters to three additional law firms this week — Winston & Strawn, Hunton Andrews Kurth and Adams and Reese — alleging their programs violate federal civil rights law and threatening to file… Read more »
So, are we to pray for the bugs? 😉 Just kidding, I guess it’s something to do with orthopedics?
Prayers up.
I watched this clip yesterday, after I reported her passing. The woman played the blonde bimbette, but she was anything but. She didn’t wear her medical battles on her sleeve for attention, either. I had no idea she had been battling cancer for so long. I do hope she has peace now. As for me, I’m up early for my… Read more »
Very nice tribute to a remarkable lady and I agree. It still amazes me how the left demonizes anyone who doesn’t think like they do and revere the ones that do. Compare Suzanne Somers to Madonna, no wait, that can’t be done, as different as night and day. Well @ 48 degrees it’s a bit chilly here in south Alabama… Read more »
