Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: Blue. All the way through!!
TVU: We have spiked considerably, unfortunately. 416 cases and 6 deaths. Sad.
BFTP: Dam those drugs! She died too soon, I miss her.
Hi, Wendy! Hope all is good with you and your family. Hope you get all your chores done, Tom, and get a chance to relax/nap this afternoon. Take good, good care, and Thanks, Tom.
*This just in: “In April, a moth after finding out about the bounty on our US Military, not only did Trump NOT do anything, he sent ventilators to Russia.” ~ Dan D. ~
2. “Trump was briefed with this information, in March. dt responded with vile silence.” ~ Bill P. ~
3. “Who agrees that dt should be the first President in American history to be impeached twice??” ~Andrea J.~
4. Trump musing – “It’s either deal with the covid virus, Russia ordering the assassinations of American servicemen and servicewomen, or just go play a few rounds of golf….why must my life be so difficult?” ~ Manuel M. ~
5. Republicans will accept 100,000 covid deaths from a white president, but not Universal Healthcare from a black president.” ~ Mary M. ~
#1. oops…month.
BFTP – There’s a reason that, these days, people don’t talk about “doing drugs” but instead about “self-medicating.” At lease some of the time, when not distracted by racism, or povery, or other things. Yes, she’s one of many we have lost too soon. And there will be more.
TJI #1 misunderstood you correctly the first time.
Happy Tau Day, everyone!

Best to WWWendy and hope the destinking and chores go well.
Cartoon – The blue kettle for me. Iced. Preferably raspberry or peach flavored (or why not both?)
Map – I can’t really be surprised we are going up again, after a respite of going down. Of course protests don’t exactly help, no matter how careful the protesters are, and I hope to heaven there are some about that poor young man in Aurora. He used to play violin for the kittens at the shelter to alleviate their loneliness. No one will do that now.
Past – I don’t know whether it’s just me – but in both music and literature there are artisis who I respect, but cannot for some reason read or listen to. It isn’t a matter of agreeing or disagreeing; it’s more to do with style. For instance, I am fully behind the message of “Moby Dick,” and can watch the movie or the opera, but have never gotten beyond the first page of the book. Yet I highly respect Herman Melville. Janis Joplin is like that for me. I’m glad others don’t have my problem so that she found a strong, devoted audience.
Good video, Thanks Joanne.
Despicable seeing/hearing more truth of tRump not being for our country or for our people. Wish his followers would wake up and see these truths.
Too bad the bounty wasn’t for tRump instead.
Cartoon: I too pick BLUE. Love mine iced too.
TVU: Still keeps climbing higher here. The past two days we’ve had over 400 new cases. We’re up to 12,837 new cases with 360 deaths.
BFTP: She had some great songs. Agree with Pat that it’s too bad drugs took her.
Hope you have a pleasant day with Wendy. Tell her “Hi” for me. That you both accomplish all of your tasks.
As for me, it turned out being that I had low sodium that cause me an episode of Hyponatremia. Was scary for me, I was thinking it was the heart. But the blood test showed it wasn’t a stroke. Thanks Goodness.
Take care. Thanks TomCat
Colleen,
Good to see you!! and relieved you’re feeling better.
Glad you had it checked out and glad it wasn’t your heart, Colleen.
We do get all wrapped up in our shorts about sodium and blood pressure, don’r we, especially as we age. IIRC most people will never have an episode of hyponatremia, but it’s scary as heck for those who do. And it can be serious if untreated. Glad you got right back on track! And thanks for the update!
Dang Colleen! You really had us worried! I’m so glad you’re OK ant that it wasn’t a stroke. The next time your doctors tell you to go to the emergency room, please go immediately! Welcome home Hugs!
Got here late, 10:48 PM EDT, sorry.
Hoping things went well with you and Wendy, TC.
TVU: Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!
Bountygate: And the GOP is having a fit over this? They should be. I have not had my finger on any pulse today, so i don’t know. They are not the party of “Family Values,”, nor “Law and Order,” so why should they stand by our troops. Hey, they’ve never stood by our veterans, with GWB calling them “Beggars!” They need to go to the trash heap of history, with the Whigs, etc.
Janis still rings my bell! But, you’ve heard that story before.
3:35 I miss the lush green bordering the canals.
Cartoon: I’m afraid the countries insanity has become normal.
Update: Green is shrinking scarily fast.
Janis: I understand where Joanne is coming from, I think. I like Janis best when she sang with a little bit more constraint. So sad she cut short her own life, burning the candle at both ends…
Thanks and pooped OGIM Hugs to all!
WWWendy returns greetings!
