Good morning everyone. Froggy and Wog, hope you two have a good weekend. Eat, nap, watch football! Today is the OU-Texas game. It's a big deal around here. I won't be watching it because I have to work.
Janice's mom is the same. Ashen, shallow breathing, won't eat, won't talk. The end is near but only the Lord knows how long it will be. Janice is rattled, not her usual clear and in command self at work. She knows it and asked me to do what needs to be done because she can't think straight. It is heartbreaking to watch her go through this. Phooey went through this with Page's mother and I went through this with both of my parents. It's horrible. Please keep Janice in your prayers.
On a happy note: Since my new mechanic fixed my window, it slowly dawned on me that my car was performing way more smoothly. Turns out he got under the hood, tinkered around, and didn't mention it or charge me for it. He said everything under the hood is in great shape and if I keep having it serviced like I do every 3,000 miles the little car will last a good long time. Nice to know!
Good Morning Surfie, Sorry that Janice is having a difficult time. There is no way to make it easy. Sending prayers and love to Janice and her family.
You are so lucky to find a good mechanic. Now you'll have to give your little car a name. Froggy got up at 5am. Then she went back to bed, and I'm still up. By the time I get back to sleep, she'll be up again. At least it's the weekend, and I don't have much to do. I can rest when Froggy rests.
Froggy has been resting most of the day. Still adjusting to being dragged off to hospital, then nursing home, and now back home again. I have been doing okay with meals. Made mashed potatoes, and fried an Angus burger (already cooked), added stir-fry veggies from freezer, and a dinner roll. Not bad for a non-cook. I'll keep The Pond ready for all Frogs who may hop in.
I'm listening to some You Tube music while I type. Tina Turner, Credence Clearwater, Doug Kershaw, Donna Summer, Nina Simone. So many great tunes and performers we had, and still have thanks to new technologies. Tina Turner is my fav. We are the same age.
You've been a wonder 'Wog, on the Pond and off! We all know it and appreciate it. I don't know what I would have done without the Pond lately. Even on days when there isn't much happening, I know you are listening. We're all being tested one way or another.
Dear Eva, I never realized how important The Pond is for our Pond Family. I come here for comfort myself. You have had so much stress this last month. Both Sis and I, and most of our Pond Family understand what you have had to deal with. Please, come anytime, and we will surround you with hugs and prayers.
Sometimes Froggy says that she sees one of our babies in the room. Today she said that our big black kitty was following along behind me like she used to do. We used to call her "my 'Nado shadow." Your babies are always with you.
All of you are in my prayers every day. Wog and Froggy, Eva and Joe especially. As John Lennon once said "Life is what happens when you're making other plans." So true. But we get through it with help of friends and faith. When I'm going through something, I try to remind myself that the Lord told us to walk through the valley, not sit down and make camp in it. Walk on through, deer friends. We're right beside you!
Surfie, Thank you for your friendship, good heart, and faith. Something you can't get enough of. You have helped all of us get through some bad days. We re here for Janice too, and everyday we send prayers for her and her family.
Good Sunday Morning, Pond Family, or maybe it's almost afternoon... Froggy is still hibernating. I got up with her a couple times in the night to help, and then to tuck her back in a warm bed. For the first time in weeks, I got to sleep in. A real treat. No bus ride today.
We'll be watching football at 1pm. The Titans play our Seahawks. Anyone going to the game better dress warm. It's cold here. Good football weather. Froggy and I, both, will probably doze off through part of the game. Froggy has a TV beside her bed.
Froggy's not ready to join in yet. She is still recuperating, and sleeping a lot. Leg still hurts, but not as much as it did. But she sends her Love to each of you, and thanks you for all your kindness, prayers, gifts, and cards.
Abandoned dachshunds find a new mom in goofy looking mega-rodent
The mothering instinct transcends all barriers between the species. Dogs nursing tigers, cats nursing hedgehogs — we've pretty much seen it all. But not this: A litter of dachshund puppies abandoned to die in a closed plastic bin were rescued and whisked to Rocky Ridge Refuge in Arkansas, where they needed some motherly TLC. So who stepped up? A giant rodent, that's who. Cheesecake is a capybara, an outsized guinea pig, that's taken in the pups as her own. And while Cheesecake is one weird looking critter, that doesn't matter in the slightest to the puppies. To them, she's just Mom.
Mike Ditka is one of only two men to have won NFL championships as player, assistant coach, and coach. He is enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and has made a fortune through the game and as a pitchman and TV analyst.
But Ditka wishes he had done one other thing in life: running for Senate in 2004 against a young Barack Obama. "Biggest mistake I’ve ever made,” the Chicago Bears great said at an oil company ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Dickinson (N.D.) Press reported.
Ditka, now 73, says he is not sure he would have beaten Obama, "but I probably would have, and he wouldn’t be in the White House."
Ditka has described himself as an "ultra-ultra-ultra conservative." He was tapped to run for the Illinois Senate seat vacated by Republican Peter Fitzgerald after GOP nominee Jack Ryan withdrew amid a sex scandal. In the end, Obama beat Alan Keyes in a landslide.
