I don’t usually post on the weekend,but I have a few articles and I’m in a pretty good mood.I skim the headlines while looking for appropriate things to post here,and de-programming myself from politics has put things in a much better perspective.About the ‘fiscal cliff’ fiasco,the GOP knows Obamaligula won’t give an inch.He wants to tax everybody.It would be nice if just once they walked away and told him,you bought it,you own it.They shouldn’t worry about being blamed for the economic collapse because they get accused anyway.If they want my vote again,ever,they have to show me they’re serious about cutting spending and making it possible for companies to build their businesses without crushing regulations and onerous taxes.They shunted the Tea Party reps aside,preferring to be the minority party in perpetuity.Speaking only for me,I’ve had enough.I’m going to stop now.Won’t waste any more bandwidth on a bunch of weenies.

How bad has it gotten when the first thing that popped into my mind while watching this was – I’m afraid he is going to get in trouble for breaking some kind of ridiculous rule? I know they are not supposed to feed the homeless there for a reason that I cannot remember, so maybe they are not allowed to buy them boots and socks, either. I’m so happy that he did this, though.

That was interesting. It reminded me of that book by “Glass Castles” by Jeannette Walls. The author was in a limo in New York, all dressed up and on her way to some kind of awards ceremony when she saw her mother on the sidewalk dumpster diving for dinner. She gave a talk to my mother’s Woman’s Club several years ago and it was quite an eye opener.

Love the security detail he had with caps marked ELF. What a wonderful story!
We haven’t been able to do much, but we did get gifted with a dozen cotton t-shirt dresses that a store was going to throw away because they weren’t selling and had been on the shelf so long, they weren’t even really clean anymore. My kid worked there last summer and grabbed them in case I could wear them or use the fabric. I couldn’t … the fabric wasn’t soft enough for my delicate princess skin. But we know someone who lives near and has been going into the worst areas to help, so we washed them and shipped them to her.

Hope the corn-speed-eating dude covered the keyboard first! I led off a weekend vid playlist with this, h/t to you, Pete, of course.
So, first I was trying to catch up on work neglected prior to the election.
Then we lost our net for a whole week. (Fortunately, it was the low-info Thanksgiving week, not election week.)
That meant, of course, at least two weeks trying to get caught up on lost work from netlessness.
So, been busy. Have missed y’all, and have hardly had time to read the posts, much less follow most of the comments. But now we are fully entering upon that greatest of annual interruptions, lasting until about Epiphany, so, I may continue to miss y’all.
Hope y’alls’ Thanksgivings were good. (Use of “y’all,” by the way, is my birthright.) We had twenty at my 92yo Mom’s table(s) for Thanksgiving, and it was a fine feast with everything a Thanksgiving should have. Considering how many of my relatives are ignorant Obamunists, only a high respect for Mom’s no-politics edict managed to keep away the demon of political discussion. Super-sufficient quantities of alcohol provided all other regular entertainments nonetheless. Family! Whose idea was that?? 🙂

Coupons are so rarely given on anything that’s good for you that it didn’t seem worth the time to even look, so I stopped bothering with them decades ago.
I’d never heard of Extreme Couponers until some t.v. show we saw involving one who was murdered. They said it was an addiction to adrenaline, like gambling. This murder victim had a cellar FULL of junk food and other crap she didn’t need, but HAD TO BUY because she had coupons.
Her husband didn’t murder her, but he was suspected, because it was clear he was so sick of living with her out of control addiction. I didn’t blame him. She was spending his money and didn’t even have the charity to donate the stuff to people who actually would use it. She just hoarded it.
