Happy Wednesday!

  1. Let me guess. This is Paget glowing after a days work at Hanford. Or some 'Gay Communitity', or leprechauns hiding their pot of gold or a Cursillo weekend party or ..... I'll shut up!
    I know what it is! .... a symbol of LOVE!
    Happy Wednesday all with love.

    2. Wow, Phooey, you were on a roll! :) We joke a lot about our "Hanford Glow". :)

      Take care, ponders!

  2. Boy, oh boy! I don't check in last night and all sorts of stuff happens. Surfie, I'm glad you're okay. That's most important. Take care of that sunburn, though. Your fears are well-founded, but I'm just glad that it wasn't worse. People will use anything to push their agendas, you know that. Fingers are crossed that clear heads will prevail.

    'Wog, I should have checked in because I completely forgot about Dance Moms. I'm upset now because last night I was grumbling to myself because nothing was on. I'm really going to have to start writing notes. I've already made a note on my calendar for next Tues.

    Sounds like Wolfie is settling in. I was watching the siamese kittens on Ustream last night. They were so cute. Trying to groom each other and play attacking.

    1. The thing about Dance Moms is that they don't seem to show them on another day. You might be able to catch it next Tuesday before the new episode.

      Wolfie doesn't run around like a kitten. but he does like a good bite of a cat-nip mouse! And he begs, loudly, for food. I'll check out the kittens on USteam. I don't go there much after the eaglets fly away.

      I'll be back at The Pond after school.

  3. Phooey, you are so funny!

    Today was back to normal for my company. Also back to normal with the heat.

    I found out a lot today about how that fire happened yesterday. Won't bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that the company, Bachman, is in heap big trouble. It's a family-owned company. I don't feel bad for the family at all because they were incompetent. I do feel bad for their employees who will probably be out of a job until this is sorted out and the warehouse is rebuilt (if the powers that be ever let them go back into business).

    On a happier note, I went to sleep last night with a sunburned face, but woke up this morning with a beautiful tan and skin as smooth as a baby's behind. I took a shower last night and lathered extra virgin olive oil onto my face. That is the only face moisturizer I've used since my mid-20's.

    My ability to tan through a burn is probably due to one grandmother who was part Italian and another grandmother who was part Choctaw Indian. DNA is a big factor, but I really think the olive oil I've used on my face all these years is a huge factor.

    I felt bad for my fair-skinned co-workers who were beet red and miserable today!

    Love you Ponders. The weekend is almost upon us and I feel good!

    1. After I posted I remembered 'or Surfie's sunburn'.... hate when that happens.
      Good night everyone.

    2. Sorry to hear about so many people losing their jobs. I would be hysterical. The company could decide not to rebuild. It's just sounds bad all the way around. Will you be okay?

      Let us know if you have any ideas how we could help.

      Your tan sounds wonderful. I don't tan, and any tan I get fades away. I used to put red iodine in baby oil and lay in the sun. Looked real pretty for a while.

  4. Howdeeee! (Picture Minnie Pearl!)
    I just need the hat with a dangling tag and some clogging shoes.

    I thought I'd have time to visit, but, alas, homework calls (and Wolfie too). I'll drop in later this evening just to see if anyone is still up.

    Obama finally left today. He really can mess up the freeways and air space The city shuts down everything. Glad he's gone. He left with a couple million dollars for his campaign. That's all he does -campaign; He doesn't run the country.

    I haven't had time to check the news. If there's anything interesting, I'll post a short article.

  5. My Goodness Froggy...
    How are we going to know what day it is if you don't tell us?
    Are you home playing with your new baby Wolfie?
    He just needs some catnip to spice up his day.
    And, Froggy, we need you at The Pond to spice up our day.

  6. You're right, 'Wog. I get all confused and start wondering what day it is. Especially on days like today when my internet was down all morning. I hate it when that happens. I feel like I don't know what's going on.

    Kisses to all and especially to Wolfie!

  7. Wolfie sends kissies back. Wolfie is enjoying a warm day in Seattle. If you hopped by today, you would see him "pretzeled" on the sofa. You cat people know what I mean - he is upside down, belly up, but twisted to the side - all at the same time.

  8. Always interesting news in politics.
    Comparing the candidates!
    It will take time and diplomacy to undo the bad feelings that Obama throws around at a whim.

    Mitt: July 2012
    Mitt Romney told a London fundraiser Thursday night that he was "looking forward to the bust of Winston Churchill being in the Oval Office again."

    Barry Obama: February 2009
    A bust of the former prime minister once voted the greatest Briton in history, which was loaned to George W Bush from the Government's art collection after the September 11 attacks, has now been formally handed back.
    ***************************
    Congratulating Walesa on his Nobel Prize in 1983, President Ronald Reagan said:
    “For too long, the Polish government has tried to make Lech Walesa a non-person and destroy the free trade-union movement that he helped to create in Poland. But no government can destroy the hopes that burn in the hearts of a people. The people of Poland have shown in their support of Solidarity, just as they showed in their support of His Holiness Pope John Paul II during his visit to Poland, that the government of that nation cannot make Lech Walesa a non-person, and they can’t turn his ideas into non-ideas.”

    The bronze by Sir Jacob Epstein, worth hundreds of thousands of pounds if it were ever sold on the open market, enjoyed pride of place in the Oval Office during President Bush's tenure.

    But when British officials offered to let Mr Obama to hang onto the bust for a further four years, the White House said: "Thanks, but no thanks."

    Barry Oba... June 2012
    “The likelihood is that President Obama didn’t want Walesa in the White House because Walesa has made critical remarks toward the president’s policies and in 2010 warned that the United States was slipping toward socialism. But rather than taking the mature and diplomatic path and respecting Walesa’s right to have a differing perspective, Obama chose to shun his lifetime of achievements.”

    Barry Who... July 26, 2012
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will sign a bill to strengthen U.S.-Israeli military cooperation on Friday on the eve of a visit to Israel by his Republican presidential challenger, Mitt Romney.

    Obama will seek to stress his commitment to Israel's security for American Jewish voters at a White House ceremony that appeared timed to upstage Romney, who has accused the president of undermining U.S.-Israeli ties.

    Mitt... July 26, 2012

    Romney has vowed that he won’t criticize President Barack Obama or his policies while overseas, following a long tradition of presidential candidates refraining from politics while abroad. But Romney’s visit to Israel clearly is intended to highlight a major difference with President Obama over the nature of U.S. relations with the Jewish state.

    In Romney’s recent speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Nevada, the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee referred to what he called the Obama administration’s “shabby treatment of one of our finest friends.”
