Terri misses her.

This morning I woke up with a Merle Haggard song in my head.
Are the good times really over for good lyrics.
***I wish a buck was still silver.
It was back when the country was strong.
Back before Elvis; before the Vietnam war came along.
Before The Beatles and “Yesterday”,
When a man could still work, and still would.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the Flag or the Liberty bell.
Wish a Ford and a Chevy,
Could still last ten years, like they should.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
I wish coke was still cola,
And a joint was a bad place to be.
And it was back before NixonObama lied to us all on TV.
Before microwave ovens,
When a girl could still cook and still would.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the Flag or the Liberty bell.
Wish a Ford and a Chevy,
Could still last ten years, like they should.
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell.
Stand up for the Flag and let`s all ring the Liberty bell.
Let`s make a Ford and a Chevy,
Still last ten years, like they should.
The best of the free life is still yet to come,
The good times ain`t over for good.***
WOW! The sky is getting BLACK, a deep looking blact at that.

Terri misses her.
Good morning. Stay safe, Toby!!
They dropped the charges because they knew he’d be in jail on probation violation charges for a while and they’d have a better chance they think of a murder indictment, rather than child endangerment. I’m waiting to see what they find in forensics....
LOL prolly got caught flirting with the other one’s “lady friend” hehehehe
They are beautiful...poor Terri :-(
The area looks much like our neighborhood did growing up, before they put in more houses.
You know that Terri will really miss her. When Oliver died, Toby just stopped eating & stayed out curled up on her grave. Only when I got Josy for him, did he do better.. but still would go out to grave & very limited eating for many monhts
This is a sweet pix. the shepherds I have learned (Oliver & Josy) like this nudging (herding). Josy latches on to the top of tail area to “control” Toby, which of course he does not like
We have that beautiful stream in our back yard.
I’m going to mix some tasty people food in Terri’s dry food to encourage her to eat, however, she could lose a few pounds.
Funny thing - the Communists got in a pickle because they couldn't get their act together last year.
They thought everything was going their way, that the Nation really did want the change that POTUS would bring.
[Sidebar: I will from this moment forth refer to the miscreant that was elected President last November as POTUS. We can have a little fun here - and the beauty is the Communists will think we're actually respecting the office. Here's why I will call him POTUS. POTUS = Piece Of The Ultimate S***. (If someone can think up a clean version of the "S" word that fits, ok, but right now it'll have to do.)]
So, the Communists were willing to play ping pong between the two houses until they got common language was had between the House and Senate.
They thought they had all the time in the world.
Until the 8.3 magnitude earthquake that was Scott Brown.
That changed everything. They had a problem. The problem was this:
1. The Senate passed a bill knowing the House would amend it and send it back.
2. When it got sent back, the bill would likely be filibustered by the Republicans.
3. The Communists would break filibuster with their 60 votes; the last question (the bill) would come to the floor and pass.
4. Scott Brown got elected.
5. The Senate bill is still in the House - oops.
6. The House doesn't like the Senate bill, but if it amends the Senate bill it has to back for another vote in the Senate.
7. If the bill goes back to the Senate, the Communists can only muster 59 votes for cloture, the last question (the bill) never makes it to a vote.
8. Therefore, the bill cannot come back to the Senate.
9. But it can't die in the House, either.
10. So, the House leadership agrees that the Senate bill should be passed without amendment (sending it to the President as identical language was passed by the House and Senate).
11. But House Communists don't like the bill - so a sidecar bill is proposed that will "fix" the Senate bill.
12. Last Sunday, the House voted to amend the Intolerable Act (even though it wasn't yet law! - by the way, don't look for the Supreme Court to intervene on that issue, they don't usually smack Congress on that point, preferring to look at the sum total of legislative output, but it's still intriguing as it shows the length of depravity they went to so as to pass this monstrosity). It then voted to approve the Intolerable Act.
13. The Intollerable Act goes to the President for signature; the sidecar "fix" bill goes to the Senate.
14. The sidecar bill includes just enough changes to apprporiations to be called a "reconciliation" package - thus circumventing the normal 60-vote cloture requirement (budget bills cannot be filibustered under Senate rules).
15. Reconciliation bills normally go in with a 12-hour debate limit, but are allowed an UNLIMITED number of amendments.
That is where we are. Step 15. The sidecar bill is bad too - it has even more taxes than the original one (what a surprise </sarcasm>). But the Republicans cannot stop it, but they can attempt to amend it. Two things here:
A - The Communists accept an amendment, any one - and it goes back to the House, so they won't. But the GOP cannot keep the game up forever (theoretically they could, but blocking the people's business begins to become politically unpalatable after a fashion), so they go to "B".
B - The Communists block all amendments, which means the GOP will offer amendments that put the Communists on record for things that are politically bad for them - such as...
...The Communists in the Senate are now on record opposing an amendment that would have forbade the distribution of viagra to incarcerated sex offenders.
(Among others, but that ones a hoot!)
We can't stop it, but we can make them squirm!
This is shaping up as part of the repeal strategy.
First when we take control in 2011, if any element of the Intolerable Act has been funded, it will be defunded.
Then, in 2013, it will be tossed. And, if necessary, using reconciliation. (The Communists started it.)
Or, to Algore, the season that predicts globull warming!
13. The Intollerable Act goes to the President for signature; the sidecar "fix" bill goes to the Senate.
It should have read:
13. The Intolerable Act goes to the POTUS for signature; the sidecar "fix" bill goes to the Senate.
I like your style. If you have anything else to ponder or posit, let me know.
...SMALL VICTORY IN THE REAR GUARD ACTION IN THE SENATE - GOP GETS SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN TO RULE TWO SECTIONS OF THE "FIX" BILL OUT OF ORDER. BILL MUST GO BACK TO HOUSE!
We MUST be non-violent to a fault.
Otherwise, this:
The LAST thing we need is an American version of the Enabling Act.
Chair, wish we could see more of you. VA AG did the right thing, he did. Made me proud to be a Virginian.
Jem, lysie, I still miss Brandi. She's been gone 8 yrs this July. Now, there's Panda who is like another appendage (really). I trip over her most of the time because she sits so close to me. Now, she's taken to "protecting" me from anyone who tries to kiss me.
lysie, I'm sure you have wonderful memories of Elsa. They will help, in time.
Good morning. Thanks for the kind words.
As suggested on another thread..video tape events on our side to prove innocence.
Wonderful seeing your informative posts again, Chair.
I just knew there was a reason I voted for that guy! ;>)
