  2. Something happened to my previous post, so here goes again:

    This is hands-down the cutest pic I've seen in a long while! I have pictures of Puffin & Bambu when they were kittens watching Boomer very closely and then doing what he did. So adorable.

    It's really beautiful in So Cal this week. Sunny with temps in the upper 70s to low 80s. Feels very summery. Surfie, did you have earthquakes in OKC yesterday? I thought I heard something like that.

  3. Hi guys. Just got up from a nap. Still groggy. We're bracing for some cooler weather coming are way. I prefer warm.

  4. Hi gang...er pond... We just went on our constitutional around floors 4 and 2--I can't even walk a city block, so I am trying to build up to it. Our weather has been good--not so cold and just slightly rainy. I wouldn't say our spring rain has started yet.

    1. Froggy. I so wish I could have some place indoors that was flat to walk. There are no sidewalks and it's all up and down hill.

    2. That's how it was by our old apt. Now that we're at the top of the hill, it's better, but getting dressed wears me out, so I just wear my housecoat in here and walk the floors.

  5. PONDERS WANT TO KNOW:

    "Late Tuesday afternoon, the Senate confirmed Chuck Hagel as the next defense secretary:

    Hagel was confirmed in a final vote of 58 to 41. Four Republicans joined Democrats in supporting Hagel: Sens. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.; Mike Johanns, R-Neb.; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and Richard Shelby, R-Ala. No Democrats voted against Hagel, but one — Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. — did not vote.

    Rand Paul explained why he ended up voting yes:
    “There are many things I disagree with Chuck Hagel on, there are many things I disagree with John Kerry on, there are very few things I agree with the president on, but the president gets to choose political appointees.”

  6. WHAT? HUH? FOR REAL?

    "Louisiana officials are considering solutions after state health inspectors destroyed 1,600 lbs of deer meat donated by hunters to a local homeless shelter.

    Rev. Henry Martin, executive director of the Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission, which provides food and shelter for the homeless in Northwest Louisiana, told The Daily Caller that the organization had been serving deer meat donated by area hunters for decades and, to his knowledge, nothing like this had ever happened before."

  7. RUSH SAYS:
    Obama Desires Constant Chaos
    February 28, 2013

    "So today everybody's talking about whether Woodward was threatened or not, and, "What does that mean as far as the way the regime operates and what does it mean for the media?" Of course, everybody's focusing on it. My point is, they get you focused on what they want you focused on while other things are taking place. It's not new. It's not a new strategery. It's just something that I'm constantly wary of, and I'm just telling you: The sequester is not what Obama is actually attempting to achieve here.

    It's the elephant in the room that everybody can see and is dealing with, to hide other things on the agenda."

  8. Froggy, I didn't know you were walking the floors. What a great way to start. You go girl!

    Yep, we had a 4.0 earthquake yesterday. Really freaks people out here. They think a 4.0 is a really big earthquake! Bless their hearts, they just don't know what a really big one feels like.

    I tell you, the insanity going on in the country is beyond belief. From Hagel to destroying deer meat to the Bob Woodward deal and sequester nonsense ... it's infuriating! They all need to be sent home.

    Well, tomorrow is Friday and I'm getting ready to bake a sweet potato (one of my favorite things to eat) so I'm not going to get riled up right now!

    Phooey, I prefer warm, too!

    1. Surfie, I've never baked a sweet potato. I love to throw things in the oven when the weather is sooo cold outside. Enjoy your treat!

  9. I'm with you, Surfie! I just got off the phone with my Dad and we went round and round with all the insanity going on with this Administration. He keeps saying he'd like to live long enough to see Obama out of office and I tell him that's pretty good motivation for sticking around. Then we talk about what will be left of this country when Obama is gone. He's 89 and says he never thought we'd actually elect and then re-elect a man who hates America. Well, we did. Before we hung up, he said, "G-d has a sense of humor." That made me giggle. I figure it's better to laugh than cry.

    Keep on truckin', Froggy. Remember that saying?

    1. Eva, your Dad sounds delightful.

      Just got done reading about your friend Steve in yesterday's.

  10. Thank you, everyone. I know a couple of floors is pitiful and small, but.... I'm trying, I just hope things get better... I'm scared they won't. 'Woggy has to do way too much for me already--at least I can still take a shower by myself.... sigh.... I don't know what I'd do without her (I can't even go to the bank or get any food). I'm discouraged tonight, so your encouragement really helps.

    1. Froggy, I am in a similar way . Walking any distance is difficult for me too.

    2. Are you, Gloria? I didn't know--I'll pray for you. I love talking to you.

  11. I want that little cat in 'Woggy's picture.

  12. We took my computer to the shop. Been having problems. Scott got an email from Exfinity saying that one of our computers has a virus. So right now I am using Steve's. Hope to get mine fixed with out costing an arm and a leg.

    1. Gloria, I would question an email from Xfinity! That email could be the virus from a hacker. You need to CALL Xfinity and see what they say.

      Delete
    2. Gloria, when you signed up for Xfinity, didn't it include free Norton virus check? I just don't think they would email you or call you. Sometimes we get a letter that says that we need a new battery for our modem.

      Delete
    3. Wog, yes and yes. Been having issues for a while. I am finally not able to do anything. The Xfinity notice came today after Scott did all that he could do and Steve had done all that he could do. We have Norton too. How attached can a person be to a computer?

      Peanut is crawling all around me getting in the way. Silly cat.

  13. NEW GAME SHOW:
    OBAMA: I CAN GIVE YOU A MEETING IN SEVEN MINUTES!
    PELOSI: I CAN GIVE YOU A MEETING IN FIVE MINUTES!
    KERRY: I CAN GIVE YOU A MEETING IN ONE MINUTE!

    "Never let it be said that President Obama has failed to spend time with Republican leaders in seeking an alternative to automatic budget cuts that are due to hit most federal departments Friday. On Wednesday, for example, the president gave GOP lawmakers as much as seven minutes, a rare face-to-face encounter that the White House described as a “meeting.”
