“Stuffy head”
Don’t forget “stuffy head.”
There should be no restrictions to her care but what her own health will allow. I am glad her doctor was so honest.
Just saw on twitter that Obama follows” “Iliket!tsdaily” a porn account with topless pics. That’s def propaganda as there is no way that limpwristed fairy is interested in looking at boobs!
Are y’all experiencing early Fall weather and the resulting lively pet behavior? the nights are down into the 50’s here, windows open at night, Husky girl and cats chasing and hiding behind doors. Most surprising, old Kitty boy’s appetite and interest in life are what they were before last year, he is zealously grooming, and loves to be brushed again. A couple of months ago, I was expecting his demise any day...
Maybe he is indulging in wishful thinking-I can’t imagine any woman letting him see/touch her boobs for real...
saw that on Twitchy this am ....too funny.
I tuned in The Five while I eat an early dinner, and Kimberly was handing Beckel his ass while the others jumped in-now he is being taken to the woodshed by everyone and told he needs to buy hooked on phonics. I didn’t realize Beckel harbored a pathological dislike for Alan West, either...
He is always in trouble when seated between KG and TanMan, because he respects them and gets intimidated when they get on a roll. I may end up watching this debate tonight after all.
I’m thinking about it-watching part of it, anyway. I’m pretty sure I’ll get to the shout-obscenities-and-throw-cushions stage long before the end...
Thought beckel was insufferable today, how do they not throttle him? Kimberly clearly wants to!!
Xshub and I have decided to follow it on twitter and if its going well we Will turn it on. Xsgirls went over to xsteen’s boyfriend’s apt to have dinner and watch it.
Game, set, match, Romney!!!
I hope you watched! Romney mopped the floor with Obama right out of the gate. I never had a debate fly by so fast. Twitter and FR were so impossibly slow I gave up on them. Romney is our next president. Some anniversary present for MO...they both have to know it’s over.
Rim shot! Dang, I knew it was a different word but my brain is tired. lol
I honestly think there will be fewer yard signs this year because people fear the lawless liberals attacking them or their belongings. But it is great to know there are some so brave in your area!
My Mother’s doctor is so upset about it all! Most of her practice is already medicare but she is in a large clinic setting and Mother said that almost every single door has a “no new medicare patients” sign on it.
I couldn’t watch - was so fearful then tried to log on here and couldn’t connect.
