Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Obama did indeed pillory
his arch-nemesis Hillary
As Secretary of State
She was second rate
Seems emailgate is now history.
nooooo. It can’t be, she MUST be indicted! A++++
I don’t hold out much hope....I think it’s clearer daily that Bernie cannot win, so they will let her skate.
The Flyers are graded on a sliding scale. We expect better of other teams. LOL
A++++++ you can go directly to the head of the class for that homework!! bravo!
Pillory Billary....both of them deserve it. Love the shirt.
It is overcast, windy and 55-drizzle off and on, too-crisp and refreshing, but it almost never gets this chilly so late in Spring...
There really isn’t any doubt
Of a cover-up done by Hillary
Worthy of FBI investigation
And putting her in the pillory
Of the very public scrutiny
That the media would give us-
Rotten stuff thrown-and then
They’d toss us under the bus
Even though Bill promised her
He’d make her queen in her turn
He’d probably be better off now
To just watch her crash and burn...
good one! A++++ it was overcast this AM but around lunchtime the sun peeked out and it warmed up a bit.
Depressing dark skies and misty rain here. No sun. I am smiling though. Can’t keep me down....it’s not snowing!
Thank you! I like the cooler weather for a change, but it is weird...
I saw an article that said Hillary said sexist stuff on camera-like how she knew all about men getting off the reservation, and showing her contempt for that-if she did that, she is f’ing nuts, and Bernie better call her on it, because Trump, Cruz and every critic from the other side is going to slam her for that, since she has played her woman card so much it is frayed...
Me, too-it isn’t hailing or flooding, and tree limbs haven’t come down...
Buffy is at the groomers....she was shaking just as I left. My poor baby. I hope she is enjoying her spa day. She will come home to a muddy yard, so we will have to walk her on a leash to keep her out of the mud. She is pure white with her buffy color on her ears and back...hard to keep her clean.
My daughter and her husband on on their second honeymoon in Niagara Falls. I think Buffy has missed them. She’s been too quiet. They will be home tonight or tomorrow morning.
....just awesome.
That is an awesome view-the only waterfalls I’ve seen are very tiny in comparison...
We always had problems finding someone to groom/clip our Chow-I’d call a grooming place and the minute I said “groom or clip a Chow”, I got an instant no, hell no, they are biting, vicious dogs-since our Chow was only unfriendly to anyone on our property uninvited, that made no sense to me. I did find a groomer after a few weeks-the owner of a grooming place who was a Chow owner herself, and knew the breed was not really psycho-ours would go right to her, tail wagging, because he knew she was going to give him treats along with his Summer bear clip-the only thing I didn’t care for was that she always put bows on his ears, as if he was a female instead of a neutered male-the minute we got home, he would rub his head on the rugs until they came off...
Buffy has bows and she immediately rubbed her head to no avail. They stay put. Must frustrate her. After the first one came off I tried to get the other one out, but couldn’t. It was still there at her grooming today. Six weeks later.
Wow-those are some tough bows-the Chow always had them rubbed off in 15 minutes or less...
I think bows are cute on smaller female dogs-my Chow was the only dog that needed professional grooming-the others-Husky girl, my Aussie and my two German Shepherds-all females-just needed brushing, combing and bathing, which is easy enough to do at home-but I wouldn’t have wanted bows on any of them-big working dog girls like that would look silly with bows, I think...
We were there a couple summer’s ago. They should go later this year when they shut the American side off.
I would like to see that shut-off, having seen stuff about it on TV and the internet-looks very complicated...
