About Me

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.

WOW! Just saw this.

WUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNderful news!

What an ordeal. What a struggle! So glad you survived to tell the tale!

Now, that's a relief!

I swear - I would have worried about that all day...

Glad it had a happy ending, mainly thanks to their determination and you wisely not interfering. I would have wanted to help, also, but one doesn't want to mess too much with Ma Nature.

That "Can't See Shit..." one made me laugh out loud!

on edit - the Wile E. Coyote one, also! That would make me NOT want to get my car fixed if it had a booboo like that truck has!

Other than that, I don't have a favorite. They ALL are WUNNNNNNNNNNderful!

Happily making the rest of us look bad.

Being utterly oblivious and willfully blind must have its benefits somewhere, I guess...

Yeah. No kidding. INSANE little factoid I heard this morning about that:

Florida ranks with COUNTRIES - not merely other states - as far as how bad it is.

The "order of infamy" for number of cases is:

1) United States
2) India
3) Brazil
4) Florida

GREAT job, DeSantis! You're Number One...

* Right now my morbid curiosity is wondering how soon we hit the next marker number: 13-MILLION confirmed cases worldwide. Sometime this coming week, I'd guess.

K&R indeed.

I would guess it might be some orange dude who has her "muzzled."

After all, it's not just dead MEN who tell no tales.
