She was a mutt, like the rest of us. Mostly Spitz. Beautiful white fur, a former stray my parents adopted maybe 8-9 years ago. She was scared of everyone at first, but finally learned to trust her family. When I moved here to help my parents, she adopted me.

A year ago this month, my mother died of Alzheimer's after declining for years and years. My father died a couple of months ago after a very long hospitalization.

Winky had once had a voracious appetite. My father fed her from the table, which is always a bad idea. While he was in the hospital, I spent either days or nights with him, and felt guilty for leaving Winks at home alone, so I cooked chicken, dog biscuits, ground beef (which she usually preferred raw), noodles, even fish fillets.

For the last couple of months she began losing her appetite as well as weight. I went back to cooking for her, but finally she just stopped eating. She began spending most of her time in her basket. Took her to the vet. Tests revealed she had cancer.

I miss her terribly.

It's been a year of lingering deaths. I hope it's finally over.

or art installation, whatever--

I think they should put it in the lower middle of a massive urinal, where it gets pissed on day and night.

Signifying only a tiny portion of what should happen to bigots, racists, and other wastes of flesh like him. And there are plenty! But this woud be a start.

It doesn't exist.

No wonder they love Dennis Miller.

May it be better than the last one, or the ones prior.

Wouldn't take much.

You're welcome.






(Actually, when I went and had to wait 2 hrs. to pick up my meds, I wished everyone, "Hope you survive the holidays!"

They seemed to appreciate it.

This was the first time it's been shown in almost 50 years. WOW. Very anti-war, anti-nuke, and funded by IBM at the time.

Some scenes, especially the idiot crowds, are completely relevant for repigs, invading public meetings and screaming to make sure nothing is accomplished, as well as the "ME" BS they all parrott, at the expense of everyone else in the world, "down yonder, or just across the river."

A different take on "A Christmas Carol," in that it employed the three ghosts.

I doubt any big corporatocracy would dare fund something that would be so confrontational today.

Instead, we must worship the job creators.

Never thought I'd see the day. But of course, this is politics, and the religion industry is retooling, as are the Greedy Old Perverts.

But I did find this:

Only a couple of them expressed the real problem of the voting machines, but (of course) blamed the repig-owned-and-programmed machines on (who else) Obama.

Somewhat interesting, but not a must-see.

My resources are severely limited but one of their stores is nearby. Anything I can do to help out?

Only thing I can figure is to print out pro-employee strike messages on dollar-sized paper to give them at the register. But I refuse to shop there, so, no.

Any positive ideas appreciated. I don't go back to my threads unless alerted, so if you have an idea, please DUmail me.

Thanks!

For centuries, other countries, as well as the USA, relied on paper ballots and counters carefully monitored by all sides.

We need to get rid of the machines and their 'proprietary" code and untraceable results. GET THEM OUT. If we are to remain a democracy, or a republic, or whatever, the machines need to GO.

I don't care whether they show a win for repigs or dems, they need to GO. Their existence is toxic.
