A Friendly Rejoinder…

My old buddy Wiley posted an interesting piece in which he spoke of ‘a blogger’ who keeps ‘demeaning the President of the U.S.A. ’, even though ‘they have never met’, using words like “‘White House Amateur’ and such.” And he hates it. He mentions that the President “has been elected TWICE by blacks... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Housekeeping… (Includes tips!)...Part I

A couple of days ago our Pat had this post singing the praises of that famous magazine as well as the activity itself, at a time when the whole issue had shouldered itself into my awareness. Consciousness raising? Maybe a lowering, depending on one’s point of view... You see, my LSW has left. Of... Sign in to see full entry.

RIP Robin Williams

I had plans for another post - but not today! I just want to say I am shocked and sad at this amazing man's untimely death... Sign in to see full entry.

Wolfie and Anderson are perplexed…Part II

Here’s a follow-up on my post from a couple of days ago. I had not planned one but, as it turned out, it’ll be instructive. Yesterday on CNN a retired US major general (sorry, I didn’t catch his name) was asked about the pitiful Iraqi army. Because of years of service in Iraq, this gentleman clearly...

I am almost speechless…

But not quite – otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this, LOL… Actually, there are two parts to this… First: Now that we’re bombing the forces of the Islamic State, the W. H. Amateur has declared that ‘we’, i.e. the US and ultimately ‘the West’, will again be involved in Iraq as a ‘long term project’... Sign in to see full entry.

Wolfie and Anderson are perplexed…

So the W. H. Amateur has now decided to bomb the forces of the Islamic State – that’s after having at least toyed with the idea of providing them with weaponry when they were still mainly engaged in Syria, fighting Assad… Of course these Sunni Muslim forces are well equipped anyway – they simply...

Wormholes…

You’ve all heard of the tunnels the Muslim terrorists of Gaza had dug under the border to launch raids into Israel. But to get the complete lowdown (pun fully intended, LOL) on these wormholes, you need to go to sources other than the familiar ones, preferably the Jerusalem Post. There you find out...

Ontario

Yesterday Jimmy had an interesting post with surprising information about various U.S. states, showing that the ‘traditional’ image one had no longer fits (if it ever did, LOL.) When I think of Kentucky, for example, what comes to mind is the Derby and good Bourbon – not airplane parts! But Jimmy... Sign in to see full entry.

Do take a look at this...

One of these days I’ll learn to post videos – an art I haven’t acquired partly because I very rarely feel the urge to do so. But today I did feel like it, and regretted that I couldn’t. The video you’ll see when you click on the link is both amazing and beautiful. A friend had sent it to my LSW, who... Sign in to see full entry.

A Stick of Vanilla…

Yesterday Pat told us a funny story about a cake donated to a Community Center do, and which was criticized 'inappropriately.' I don’t know why it made me think of a cake experience of my own, but it did, and I thought I might as well share it… As she often did, my Mom had invited a few ladies for...
