Good Morning.
I just looked out the front door to see if there is any snow. My goodness! There sure is!
The white stuff is everywhere. It’s covering the grass, the ground, and the front steps. At least 3 or 4 inches have fallen so far. It looks so pretty for now. That will soon change.
It’s only 26 degrees outside, which will keep everything frozen for a while. According to the forecast, the snow will be falling for several more hours.
I’m glad I don’t have to go anyplace.
The snow is now up past Ellie’s belly. It doesn’t stop her. She just plows herself a path through it. Every couple of weeks I buy a big bag of bite-sized frozen meatballs to play catch outside with the dogs. Even in the snow she barks at me to throw meatballs to her. It’s hard to gauge where I should aim for because she can’t move as quickly through the snow. But she dive bombs through it and manages to find them even if she misses catching them. Hank usually likes to play, too, but this morning he’s standing 6″ from the door and is giving me a “just hand me the damn meatball” glare.
That’s so cute!!! ❤️
Unlike Hank, Ellie’s balls aren’t freezing.
I’d wager to guess that senior pup Hank has no balls to freeze either, cough. 😉
LOL!
Stay safe and warm !
Memories……
And for that he will spend years in prison. He did not assault officers, did not damage the Capitol. Did not participate in any violence. That’s our justice system now.
And it WAS funny, the whole clip. Which makes the sentence all that more ridiculous.
When you compare that kind of street theater to the hater kind of the left, it gets even funnier. Remember the Kavanaugh hearing with that lying Ballsy Ford lady who made a cool million not remembering anything?
Democrat Privilege sucks for the rest of us.
You mean *lying, don’t you?
*Instead of “not remembering”.
But she thought it happened, so it could have happened 😉
I was wondering about this. Every time I see him on television, he looks skinnier. By now, he looks absolutely sick. I hope not.

Mike Pompeo tells The Post how he lost 90 pounds in six months
https://nypost.com/2022/01/06/mike-pompeos-weight-loss-story-down-90-pounds-in-6-months/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter
I think he looks great, and I bet he feels better, too. After one loses a lot of weight, picking up a load that weighs as much as the lost weight is a real eye-opener to the difference in the stress the extra weight puts on a person’s body.
My last weight check was 2days ago – 238 lbs. That’s -40 since Mom died. (When I started losing weight I was at 375).
WOW Klown that is really impressive. It sounds like your weight loss has been at a more healthy pace than 90 pounds in 6 months.
Gee klown, stay healthy. 💕
That is fantastic Klown! I bet you feel a lot better too😉
That’s great, Klown!
good for you. look in the mirror and say damn I look good
WOW. That is inspirational.
Wow, he looks like a different person. He looks great. Wish that would be an inspiration to Trump to lose weight. I would like him to be around for a long time, so would like to see him get healthier.
I worked on a wastewater treatment project, and the city director was a cute chubby man. Years later I was flying and a very handsome and slender man called out my name when we were walking from the plane. How does this handsome man know my name? I didn’t recognize him. He laughed when I told him what I was thinking.
I know it isn’t easy to lose weight, but it pays off in so many ways. Being handsome is one, lol!
I know, he doesn’t look jolly anymore. I like big men. He doesn’t look huggable anymore. I hope he is healthy. He looks like malnutrition caused by gut bypass.
I thought bypass too. That’s a rapid weight loss for just diet and an elliptical in the basement you supposedly aspire to use 30 minutes a day. If he said he spends 3 hours a day on the elliptical and eats only carrots and celery then I’d say OK he lost 90 pounds in 6 months, not a regimen I’d want, but rock on.
90 lbs in 6 months is about 1/2 pound a day.
A pound of body fat is about 3500 calories, so he’s running a daily deficit of about 1750 calories.
Treadmill at the gym says that when I walk a mile I burn about 100 calories. I’m 5′ 8 1/2″ & 160 lbs.

Apropos of nothing and I know no1curr, but I am thrilled that among the H man’s other positive qualities, he is tall and rangy, exactly my type but it’s a type that is pretty rare here. The cuddly part comes from the scarf fuzz (a scarf that I knitted) that keeps getting stuck on his face every time he doesn’t shave, haha.
This looks like HEAVEN to me. I miss winter so much.
Fun little article about the UK’s 1921 census:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10377237/The-way-100-years-ago.html
I love winter, too. But, right now it is 1° here in Wokestan and I’m not going out until it reaches 10°. I’ll think of you (as I always do) when I pass Beth Emet. 💕
Awwww, thanks! I stayed inside this weekend. Technically it was about 40 degrees but it’s so wet that I just can’t ever get warm.
IKWYM. I’ve started wearing my lightweight down jacket in the house. I have to put on a long down coat to go to the basement to do laundry. The only way to get there is using the outside stairs.
There’s a moderately funny meme posted in a group I belong to on Facebook about the CDC discovering a new variant of an old disease called Gonorrhea Lectim. (Say it out loud if you don’t catch it right away.) While the person writing it had fun with it, the funnier part is FB slapped one of their links to get vaccine information on it.
When I come up with what the acronym “urfa” stands for instead of just being a typo, I’ll let you know.
A city in Turkey? A type of chile pepper? As an acronym? My guess U (you) R (are) F (fuc*ing) A (awesome). Could be you are……insert an F and an A word that might fit.
If the U stands for a word…..unbelievable, unusual, unmistakable, unmitigated, unreal, unforgettable, unfortunate?
😂

Scoop: Mike Pence’s team helping Jan. 6 committee
People in and around former Vice President Mike Pence’s office have been particularly cooperative as the Jan. 6 select committee focuses on what former President Trump was doing during the more than three hours the Capitol was under attack, sources familiar with the testimony tell Axios.
https://www.axios.com/pence-team-helping-jan-6-committee-d634d742-77f9-4e1f-a0ef-d92b81fbcfcb.html
They will try to prevent Trump from running again.
Bingo, nailed it, spot on! This is all extreme campaign antics, disguised as government. But as seen from their continued incompetence, the D’s only know how to campaign. They don’t actually govern.They campaign and make money deals, while the people are stranded on highways, pay exorbitant prices just to survive, left to the mercy of criminals, robbed assaulted and shot and killed, sometimes by Democrats who pay little consequences.
But they do not want Donald Trump to run, and spoil they party.
Yep.
One year later they have gone from “Trump instigated it” to “Trump didn’t do enough fast enough to stop it!”
Wonder who they’ll run instead? I can’t think of a soul I’d get off my lazy ass and vote for.

follow the money
Every single government agency got covid funds and almost all of it has gone to nonsense projects. Very little to actually look at the spread or the reliability/accuracy of the data they they keep tossing about.
My weekly literature review for articles or study reports it takes me three times as long having to weed through all the crap. It is actually worse now that it was during lockdown because Joey and Gang have turned healthcare into an even bigger circus of woke natisness than Barry, VeeJay and Moo managed.
Never let a crisis to to waste, amirite? So sorry ML.
Or a crisis to help those who already have get more.
I will say I have done some technical assistance for health clinics and aging /ombudsman agencies for funding from covid grants for telehealth and other useful services so not all of it is being wasted on frivolous crap. However the dollar amounts are very small and it bugs me. when I see large blocks of monies going for vanity projects.

watch this implode bigly
Yeah Stephanie was briefly in as press representative after Sarah H moved on. She hardly held any briefings that I remember. Sounds like a band of losers who read the room wrong and can’t figure out which ass to kiss. The one I’m shocked about is Ted Cruz. He just suicided himself with his comments on Jan 6th. He’s a lawyer and considers every word he says. Talk about reading the room wrong.
Cruz didn’t help himself last night on Tucker Carlson, either. I doubt much of what he could’ve said would’ve been helpful, but what he actually did say, was really 🐂💩
patsy flint check your facebook account, I got another friend request, you might have been hacked
I did too. Sometimes you get hacked just responding to friend requests, so I ignore them til after I know the friend secured his/her account.
I hate it when ignorant bureaucrats make health care decisions for us all.
Right. This smacks of ANDREW CUOMO decisions.
From Don Surber’s highlights today:
ITEM 7: PJ Media reported, “Thomas Edsall, one of the few decent contributors at the New York Times, published a valuable piece of journalism Wednesday on the sheer size of philanthropic commitment to left-wing “racial justice” measures. With nearly 3,000 words of interviews and assorted content, he explores how much money — nearly $25 billion it turns out — was donated by progressive elites to divisive racial endeavors after the May 2020 killing of George Floyd.”
No wonder Democrats turned the drug-overdose death of a drug dealer into a martyrdom.
They used it to shake down Corporate America.
Bribery and extortion are what banana republics do best.
Three more years of this caca.

Some voters are smart.
Civil War, bitches.
Yes he did. And Muriel Bowser refused to allow them in “her city” iirc.
Is he going to give Angelina Jolie her money back?
MTG is dissing Cruz too.
Violent Capitol and DC police meet Cruz’s definition of terrorism.
Maybe he has dark ambitions – like Biden – of running for President some day, too.
LOL.
Dumbest person in all of government.
Will they use that to prevent Djokovic from playing in the Australian Tennis Open?
Isn’t he in jail?
No. He’s being held in a hotel or housing site “for the unvaccinated” until a final decision is made r/t his specific situation.
Australia is more than a little dictatorship. (See above).
Being “detained”
In a quarantine hotel I think

Lying asshole …..
I would be happy if he would just shut down the rhetoric!
Can you imagine if Democrats added more dumb justices to the SCOTUS?
I can. And that thought terrifies me. When I read what Sotomayor and Kagan and Breyer are saying in this current argument, I want to argue against their “blinded by ignorance” statements, myself.
Sotomayer is easily the stupidest justice in my lifetime. When there are only a few women who make it to the top of a field, we can’t afford for any of them to be less than the best. When the history books look back on the first woman to be Speaker of the House, hopefully the United States will be in a position where Pelosi will be recognized for the evil person she is, but she isn’t incompetent. Fortunately, at least Sotomayer isn’t the first woman on the Court and will end up with all of the justices whose names no one can remember. Kamala Harris, on the other hand, makes Sotomayor look like a genius.
You are so right! It completely baffles me how this nation settles for such idiots in such important roles. But, idiots are so easy to control.
Her clerks must have night jobs at CNN.
And I am plowed out. The porch and the steps are still mine to do, but the exit to the street through the garage is clear. The snow should be stopping in an hour or so. Ellie and I may even get a walk later today if the sun finishes clearing the street. I don’t mind negotiating my way down the driveway wearing crampons, but I’m not fond of walking a mile or more in them. The temperature isn’t going above freezing until tomorrow so it will take a bright sun or a lot of traffic to completely clear the roads. “A lot of traffic” is unlikely on my street.
Wow. They got you cleared quickly!
I have good neighbors. Now I have to come up with a dinner to share. 🙂
I have no doubt you will do that with ease❣️
I want to apologize. I was callous about drinking.
I have never been touched I have never touched another person. Not once. When I was 17 I endured a man and a women that were not nice. I fought but they won and people watched and laughed.
I had parents that disliked gheys. blah blah blah. I always had to get by in silence. I did detox was walking down the street it was cloudy. I felt sorry for me. I didn’t give up but I felt like it. I can struggle to be sober but it is hard to think I am a freak who can never touch not fair to vent that here
In the midst of everything else, this . . .
RIP Mr. Tibbs.
I happen to see this and I thought it was the most poignant. A daughter helping her 94 year old dad cope with the loss of his long time friend.

Omicron Prime @Armyfool1
For me that was expected. The one that still has me reeling is Sotomayor saying she doesn’t see a distinction between state police powers and federal “police powers.” Then she went further and implied OSHA has police powers just by existing…
Granny @gjfindley
I thought I heard that, too. We as a country are doomed when a Supreme Court Justice can’t distinguish between federal vs state powers especially in policing powers.

thread Love the pushback against Democrat Jan6 hysteria.
“ Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Thursday said she and a group of officials who worked in the Trump administration are meeting next week to “try and stop” former President Trump.
“I can say that next week a group of former Trump staff are going to come together, administration officials, are going to come together and we’re going to talk about how we can formally do some things to try and stop him and also, you know, the extremism, that kind of violence and rhetoric that has been talked about and continues to divide our country,” Grisham told CNN in an interview.”

Colorado Marshall fire update from yesterday:
Updated totals confirmed to date countywide are 1084 residential structures destroyed and 149 residential structures damaged.
Updated totals confirmed to date countywide are 7 commercial structures destroyed and 30 commercial structures damaged.
Also, my granddaughter and her boyfriend have not been able to move back into their apartment yet, waiting for water to be turned back on and pilot lights to be re-lighted.
In addition, my daughter, granddaughter and her boyfriend are all sick and have tested positive for COVID, and all are fully vaccinated. I am pretty much just staying in my bedroom with my computer and TV and staying away from everyone.
Oh my, sorry to hear that. You most likely won’t escape covid if you’re in the same house. The question is do they have omicron? If it’s omicron it’s milder and stays out of the lungs. It’s basically a bad head cold.
I wouldn’t mind getting omicron and gaining natural immunity. Covid isn’t going anywhere and I feel like we’ll all get it eventually. I’d rather have a mild case like omicron😉
In fact hubby and I have been out and about thinking surely we’ll catch this highly contagious omicron. We’re in Florida and according to the news almost everybody in Florida has omicron. Then I looked at the covid stats for our county, we had 11 cases last week. So my quest to catch omicron is a pig in a poke🤣 Even going to the big city down in Jax won’t really help, they had 246 cases out of almost a million people.🙄
Yes, all of them have symptoms consistent with just a common cold; fatigue, headache, runny/stuffy nose and mild cough. I honestly believe the COVID tests cannot distinguish between COVID, the flu or the common cold.
They can’t, it’s not your imagination. The CDC has admitted so.
We had our 5yr old granddaughters at our house 6 out of 9 days during Christmas vacation. On New Year’s Eve, we were notified that one of them tested positive for Covid, and the other one was at home with a fever (she tested negative 2x).
My husband and I prepared for getting sick. I made sure I was caught up with the laundry, the Christmas decorations were taken down earlier than I usually take them down, and there was cooked food in the refrigerator.
We both got sick on 1-2, and had identical symptoms! Severe fatigue, and fevers of 100.5. This continued for a couple of days. By day 3, we declared that we were both feeling pretty good!
I sure hope that was Omicron. I’ve had common colds that were 10x worse. Hubby has been double vaxxed (no booster yet) and I have not gotten any shots. I like the idea of natural immunity.
I like the idea of natural immunity too!!
Me too.
Somebody, come to KW. Apparently most everyone down here has it.
Even Geraldo got it when he was down here over Christmas. Lol
Let’s go to Miami! Surely they are burgeoning with the pestilence. 🤣
I am wondering why the hell I haven’t caught omicron, which I think of as nature’s vaccine. I have FIVE school-age kids, two of whom have been repeatedly kicked out of school because their classmates are “cas contact.” My housekeepers come in from an agency, so it’s literally a rotating cast of characters. My best friends in the neighborhood (triple vaccinated!) got it and we were spending a lot of time together right before their positive tests. My ex-husband, who works at the front desk of a hotel and sees strangers all day long every day, is over here all the time. The (unvaxxed) H man works and goes to school and spends time in the extremely unvaccinated neighborhood where his sister lives.
Either (1) this really has become a pandemic of the vaccinated; (2) I already have the antibodies; or (3) I’m a freak of nature with some weird natural immunity, just like with the chicken pox, to which I’ve tested immune (more than once) even though as far as I know (and confirmed by my parents), I’ve never had it–even after caring for my own kids when they got it.
Stay safe from the Germs.
Oh, hugs, my dear!
Glad you and your family are safe. And yes, the tests really cannot really distinguish between variants let alone flu/cold//sinus and covid. Its more a yes you have something/nothing is showing.
Once again thanks for the heads up the actual areas where the fires were spreading. Our locals just kept saying Colorado and my cousins is in a senior apartment in Northglenn but her daughter’s family is in Broomfield. They did not have to evacuate but now have house guests and they brought the gift of Covid to daughter’s house so cousin has not seen them.
Cousin is a recent transplant and this was a very new experience for her. She lived almost 80 years in Pennsylvania and she was tickled that I figured out they were near the fires and called to check in because she was feeling a bit isolated and uneasy as the smoke was everywhere.
Yes, those clouds of smoke spread out to the east for 75 miles and Broomfield was in a pre-evacuate warning for several hours until the winds died down. It was very scary and good of you to check on your family. Hope they have mild cases of Covid.
PayPal, Venmo, and other cash apps are now forced to report more than $600 in total, not individual transactions to the IRS. And they also require your tax ID. Because tax the rich, right?

I don’t sell anything online, but a lot of the people who sell sewing stuff use Paypal. I’ve had fraudulent charges on my Paypal account, and if my bank hadn’t stepped in, I probably wouldn’t have had the payments refunded. There is no way I’d give Paypal my tax info.

Well, I made my neighbor chicken stew with biscuits, but he’s going to have to wait until tomorrow to get it. The top of my driveway is bone dry, but when I hit the last third it was black ice. I took that part on my ass. I’m OK, and the stew is intact, but when I looked over at his driveway, I decided to put my efforts into getting back up mine. Tomorrow I’ll get out the salt and try again.
Am so glad you are ok! We got about 2 inches last night, and after running around and shopping yesterday , I just didn’t have the wherewithal to go again today. I hate black ice!
Yes glad you’re OK. I’m sure your neighbor will be thrilled with the chicken stew tomorrow too.
Also glad you are OK. ❤
glad you are ok
Oh no, take good care of yourself!!
Whew! So glad you’re okay!
Argh! Another freaking liberal on the street! We’re being invaded. New neighbors just moved in down the street. They haven’t finished unpacking, but proudly hung up their social justice welcome sign🙄 In this house we believe black lives matter, no human is illegal, women’s rights are human rights and science is real.
Science is dead.
I have lots of illegals that can show them some friendly “thanks, I’ll take that from your house.” BTW our illegals are very proud of being illegal.
Wouldn’t matter. These people moved here from San Antonio, so I’m sure they’ve had plenty of interaction with illegals. This is the second house that sold to people from Texas, both liberals🙄 Two houses sold to people from NJ, one of which I know are liberal, not sure about the other. One house sold to people from Virginia, no idea about them.
I have heard form Cali family (in one of those more conservative enclaves – they do exist) that several very liberal families in their town moved to Texas and have already moved out because not even Austin was woke enough for them. My condolences as it sounds like their ilk has found you.
I can’t stand that sign. It’s so contrived. And it has an arrogant element to it ….. “We care but you don’t” you Red Necks.
^^THIS^^
I see red when I pass houses with this sign and also Black Lives Matter. Because only black lives matter until. I often wonder just how much of an insurance policy the home owners think these signs provide.
Hate that sign.
Start blasting banjo music
They live too far down the street for that. Looks like my son will start working from home on the 18th 🤞🤞 So my grandkids will only be playing with their kids for another week. Believe it or not they have kids the exact same ages as my grandkids. They moved into “Calliou’s” house.

I was sitting here minding my own business watching Wheel of Fortune, when an ad for a local realtor came on. His name is Jack Lingo. No big deal. Then the ad continues, and includes his sister in the realty business with him, Connie.
Who would do that to a kid? Name them Connie Lingo??
Is it just me? Is my mind warped forever?
Someone where I worked was named Peter Pink. In the employee phone directory he was listed last name first, Pink Peter.
there is a newscaster here in Fla named Justin Case. can you imagine what he went through growing up?
