Yesterday was a strange day here in the CatBox. The Hospice Nurse was unable to come, so I actually got to stay in bed and snooze until WWWendy got here after 1:00 PM. It was the most sleep I’ve had in weeks, and God knows I needed it. When WWWendy got here, I had a shower and prepared for the end of the month. Tomorrow is another relative rest day and the Hospice Shower Aides come on Thursday. WWWendy will do my grocery shopping and bring them Saturday. Beyond that, we’ll just have to see what the cat drags in. Tuesday is Flush Your Republicans Day. I would LOVE to have no Republicans to flush.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Cartoon: Yea, I can definitely feel that statement. ‘Darn’ repugs!! and yes! they’re very good at stealing, and acting like as-es. Like Cruz at the border.
BFTP: A great song!
Glad to read that you got your rest yesterday. Get some more! Rest and relax….hope that you have a good, relaxing day. Early HI’s to Wendy too. Take care, Tom, and Thanks!

TJI#2: You go Joe!
TJI#3: Ok, so as I have no real idea of the use of “OFM” in this context, and the thoughts I do have are not ready for prime time exposure, someone please fill me in. In the meanwhile, is Ted Lieu going to sacrifice his sanity for the sake of the rest of us?
TJI#4: He really is a George Wallace! It’s not just a stage name. The image of a large crow kissing his ass is now embedded in my mind! Hopefully, we are seeing the last of the death throws of Mr. Jim.
TJI#5: And the news media literally bank on it.
Hi, Mitch !
The OFM that I (and others) use means ‘Orange Florida Man’= donald trump. I refer to that abbreviation, as I can’t write how I would really describe DT…however… I am bilingual in Navy swear words. Of which, of course, I can’t use on PP.
Enjoy your day, and hope that helps, Mitch.
Got it!
Thanks.
Pat I have to disagree with your definition of OFM. Orange certainly works, and Florida is appropriate. However, calling it a man is just too damn extreme!
I don’t think the “man” in the phrase “Florida man” means what you and I would consider a real man, though. However, I’m also comfortable with “Monster.”
TJI #2 – That’s good news indeed. Meanwhile, his Postal Governing Board nominees are still awaiting confirmation.
TJI #3 – Much gratitude to Ted – one of the brightest lights in the House.
TJI #4 – Now sure I’d want Crow – with that beak – anywhere near my body, but I approve and echo the sentiment. Maybe instead of Muddy Waters, Aqua Vitae – but only on the way out.
TJI #5 – I recognize the usage, but it has to be painful to Thespis to even in jest call his antics “Drama.”
TJI #3 – If you’re ever in need of an example of Projection, Donnie’s statement on Drs. Fauci & Birx is a classic! You just don’t see THIS much psychological pathology in just a couple of paragraphs very often:
https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1376661291486613506
I think Peanuts’ Lucy pretty much sums up my feelings about Donnie:
Beau commented that Fauci and Birx were playing “goodcop-bad cop” with the OFM – in other words, treating him like a child, which is not what presidential advisers normally need to do. Also that the Pentagon was doing the same, and badly miscalculated by putting on the table something they consdere so stupid no one would ever do it as akind of a fence – and that was what he ended up doing.
It is just so nice to have a President onem no one needs to, or can, treat like a child.
Yes, pure, unadulterated, projection, period.
These paragraphs must have taken hours to redact into something people could actually understand. The previous guy is out of the White House and suddenly knows how to finish a sentence and use long difficult words? I don’t think so. But no matter how much they redacted it, it’s still pure, pathetic projection. That hasn’t changed one iota.
I doubt Donnie has written a single word of any of his “speeches” or statements. Hell, he has problems enough in just reading them on the Teleprompter.
If you’ve ever labored through a transcript of one of his “speeches”, it’s all pure stream of consciousness. The Former Guy is a veritable walking catalog of DSM-5 pathologies.
It sounds like yesterday was a good one.
‘Toon: too bad some cat did not drag Joe out sooner! “Have you no decency?” meant something back then. Happily, there was no way that alcoholic demagogue could have blustered his way into the white House.
BFP: Wonderful! Morning broke at about 7:22 Am, EST, today, and the Black Bird, of the Red-Winged sort was speaking, at Grassy Lake, in Florida.
I find it absolutely wonderful not to have to get up, and my only difficulty is arthritis. So glad you hd that experience. Keep having it as much as you can.
Cartoon – But they still had THEIR Marin (Dies) until 1979. During part of that time we had OUR Martin, who is still fondly remembered (as Dies is not.) Now we have OUR Joe. Deal with it, ‘Publicans.
Blast – And introduced everyone who wasn’t Episcopalian to a beautiful hymn – one that can be appreciated by just about anybody (well. except maybe Republicans.
From last Friday. Plenty more where these came from:
Hope your Hospice Nurse will be able to reschedule soon.
Glad you got some much needed rest!
I’d rather reschedule through WWWendy. If WWWendy hadn’t been here to save the day, I would not have realized that the Nurse had nor reordered my meds, and I would have run out..
Cartoon: Yep, I agree with Pat’s comment, especially about tEd cRuz.
BFTP: Great song. I liked Cat Stevens.
Happy to hear that you finally got some rest yesterday. Sure hope it continues thru tomorrow.
Isn’t this the second time your Hospice Nurse didn’t make it over there? I sure hope she called and did rescheduled. Otherwise I want to say she’s not dependable. Maybe you need a new one?
Please do eat and drink your fluids.
Take care.
Rest is more important than being up and ready, TomCat, and then waiting for the caretaker to finally come. If you need rest, take it, please. Your Hospice care should be accommodating you, not the other way around.
Cartoon: When denouncing someone meant something.
BFTP: Far from original, yet such a beautiful song. I couldn’t hear Cat’s music enough, especially this song, while gazing at his picture inside the sleeve of the album. Boy, did I have a crush on him when I was 15.
Thanks and Hump Day Hugs to All.
Coleen and Lona, please see my comment to Nameless to understand how much I agree with you. I am hoping that Adult Foster Care will correct the situation.
