via Facebook... I've been tagged to say three positive things for the next three days. I generally hate these things, but positive is good, so I'll do it. But I'm not tagging anyone, y'll can decide if you want to play yourselves :D 1. I am thankful that I have medical insurance to see the doctor to get my hip fixed. And that I have doctors who listen to me, who take me seriously, who work with me. 2. I am thrilled to pieces that I have a teenager who is not only snarky and sarcastic but also kind and generous and loving . Who will drive me to the doctor's office and get my prescriptions filled and run to fetch dinner and pick up groceries and help me drive to another state to rehome a dog and is clever and funny and responsible and quirky and everything wonderful. But don't tell him I said so, he'll get all embarrassed. 3. I am lucky beyond belief to have the luxury of a washing machine and dryer, to do my laundry in my own home, to fold it in front of the TV (with extra help from the dogs, who were concerned that all the dog hair had been removed from said laundry), and to have space to put those clothes away. Let alone the privilege of having new clothes that need washing. I remember times when I had none of those things, and I'm grateful beyond measure for having them now.

via Facebook... "The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready he is to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race, or his holy cause. A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business." ---Eric Hoffer Which kind of explains so many things...

via Facebook... Actual conversation from earlier Scene: backyard, throwing tennis balls. Timber is running towards me when a fat buzzy bee brushed by his side, barely touching his fur. He immediately sprung fifteen feet in the air while flipped around before running to me... T: Did you see that! I think I was shot! SL: It was a bee T: a speeding beeuuuuulllllet. Did you see how fast I jumped away? SL: the bee was already half the yard away T: need to keep guard, there might be more. I'm going to go investigate that patch of grass over there.... SL: what about your ball? T: I'm investigating, woman! Don't distract me with tennis balls! SL: (gives a hard look) what did you just say? T: I'm investigating, to...ah...keep you and Misha safe. No rabbit pellet is left unlicked, no grass not sniffed, with maybe a small taste. He's been cautious around those evil bees. He is awed because Misha chases them, so now he runs behind her for, I don't know, support? Anyway, if you hear tell stories of a pirate getting shot whilst carrying his treasure...it was a bee. A bee that didn't even sting him.... My brave boy :D

via Facebook... Say hello to Ambian Darlene! My super power is tips, i mean, typos and blathering on and losing my train of....do you smell bananas? I swear I smelled some... Any bout, my fingers have forgotten how to finger and not in a dirty way. The typing and the swyping...not so good. My body feels every second of its age today. Too much walking and sitting this past this week. And my sinuses are unhappy. So they exploded and are occupying the rest of my head. While i eat the ice cream of Colbert....yum

via Facebook... Some jerk comes running up to the gate and discovers the flight has left. Forget that the desk has been paging him for twenty minutes, or that he didn't come from another flight but was likely sitting somewhere in the airport, it's obviously the fault of the agents at the desk. There is just no need for abusive language towards others because you couldn't get somewhere in time. Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine. Jackass turd.
