Got a call yesterday morning from a local number, but I didn't answer it because who calls on July 4th from a number I don't recognize? She left a message though, and I've been named "outstanding MS quilter" by the state quilting organization. I have to go to Corinth in Oct for some sort of ceremon...

At the vet’s now putting down my little buddy Cooper.

He was a really good friend.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm happy that there is a mandatory evacuation. The people staying were putting rescue crews in danger. I read the story of the man who was guided out by a drone. He waited until lava reached his driveway to evacuate, but, of course, it was too late. He called for a helicopter to pick him up, but f...

The other painful discussion that we must have is about physician assisted suicide.

Colorado now has some provisions for physician assisted suicide, though it is so hedged about that I am unlikely to ever be able to make use of it. However, I voted for it anyway since it's a start.

Breaking News - lava crosses Pohoiki Road, cutting off access to about 40 homes. Number of people trapped not known. Remember those helicopters I mentioned? They are in the area now, may be evacuating people this evening.

Watching on tv, link when I can find one.

I hope they get everyone out.

Guns = Cars. When you walk away, you leave them locked. To start them you need a key and/or fob device. You need to show basic knowledge and ability to have and use them. The bigger and more dangerous, the greater the requirements for ownership & operation. Children can't own & operate them. Drunks...

My husband has hemochromatosis. In theory, it was caught early before it did much damage. He does the regular phlebotomies: about once every two months. From what I remember of the research that I did when he was first diagnosed, joint pains can be one symptom of iron overload. Much sympathy. It suc...

I know why. Because when you’re on it it makes you feel like a god. That you can do anything— like build a whole house by yourself in a few hours, or write a 1000-page novel before dawn. Sounds a little like a manic phase. Years ago a friend was diagnosed with bi-polar disease in his early twenties...

I guess this can go here. The Guardian : Empire strikes back: why former colonies don't need Britain after Brexit British politics and culture feel nostalgic about the Commonwealth and hope to rekindle the old relationship. But the reality is not so simple I read this and the comments. I expected a...

I'm guessing the nice lady was having similar thoughts to the person saying "Nice doggy" and backing slowly away from the Rottweiler while not making eye contact.

I wondered what happened with the "sympathetic" alt juror who switched at the last minute. If female, perhaps she is one of those excessively socialized women who automatically smile anyone who makes eye contact and hence they thought she was sympathetic. (I also tend to smile automatically.)

First question asked in deliberations: what's the bare minimum time we must take before we can return to the courtroom?

No questions for the judge?

I had Gary Cohn. Next?

This is, once again, overly simplistic. Everyone is, once again, overlooking the single biggest common denominator in these shootings: it's overwhelmingly male perps. The problem with trying to find [bold]any[/bold] single common denominator is that given the rarity of events any factor's true posi...

So if a lawyer refuses to use "Esq." but does use "M.F.H.," is he ennobled disqualified from being an American?

*nod* Sessions has his own agenda, and it is not an agenda that needs Trump as a long term component. He might even be positioning himself for his own run at PotUS ... He may well come out of this looking like some kind of hero, but I can't imagine he'd have much success with that. Right-wing media...

The Guardian is reporting that Hicks kept a detailed diary about her interactions with Donald Trump: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5451711/Hope-Hicks-10-million-payday-publishers-scramble-sign-her.html I am a long time journal keeper.

I changed my vote. I had been holding out for Tillerson, but Kelly seems more likely now.

Where is MoCo?

Montgomery County, Maryland. Near DC.

I used to live in Montgomery County. It's a largely affluent, bedroom community for the District of Columbia.

My Miniature Schnauzer was prescribed phenobarbitol for cluster seizures for several years. Rion doesn't have gentle, stare-into-space seizures, but violent, fling-the-dog-across-the-room seizures. His first seizure occurred when he was two and a half. He had seven seizures in twenty-seven hours bef...

So. If one was willing to drive 75 miles or so for one day of the trial, which day would be the best day.

OK, I've had enough.

I just read a LiveJournal post by someone in Maine who water keeps water in a glass by her bed at night. It froze.

Just out of curiosity, if Trump were to physically assault her, how would the Secret Service respond?

I imagine they would do what I do when our Miniature Schnauzer and Boston Terrier try to start something: I get between them and give the instigator a dirty look.
