I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!

Ruth, I'm so glad your dog is back with you. I bet he has some interesting stories to tell!

I am finally home and sitting down. To make a long story short (er), we and some friends searched for Bruno all morning. About noon we got a call from a lady who had seen the social media 'Want Ads', and said there was a dog who looked like Bruno in her yard. He was scared, shivering & wouldn't let her near him, but also wasn't running away. We zoomed over and there he was!! He had hiked up a long hill (in the exact opposite direction from our house), crossed a HIGHWAY (it must have been in the middle of the night), gone down a dead-end street, and a steep driveway to end up there!! He was so happy to see us that his tail almost wagged right off and he basically leaped into my arms. He was limping & one of his paws was puffy so we made a stop at the vet on the way home. Happily he doesn't have a broken bone, just a sprain. He's on anti-inflammatory/pain pills for the next 9 days, and has strict orders not to rough-house for a week, preferably two. So, a happy ending to this chapter. Thank you for all your caring thoughts and good wishes!

I'm so glad Bruno is home and on the mend! What an adventure. Poor little guy.

All the best for some solid answers, Jackie.

A good night's rest for you, your DH and Bruno.

Forgot to add, thanks for all the kind thoughts on my medical ordeal. Hoping we can make this happen soon so all the fancy tests I had at the first hospital don't have to be repeated. Good things our kids ( daughter and son-in-law ) are home and living with us. Going to be our lifeline since both Dh and I came home same day within two hrs. of each other. First Dh picked up from back surgery at a hospital 23 miles from us then when son-in-law got him home and settled, he drove to the hosp. 75 miles away from us to get me.

Love people who hate you. Pray for people who have wronged you.

What a SUPRISE in my unvaccinated, unmasked, 'we don't want any rules' state, our local Walmart is shutting down until Monday for deep cleaning. 20 of their employees have tested positive for Covid. Who could have ever predicted that would happen.....have to log of so I can start banging my head against the wall.

Also loving the fact that Walmart in your area Ruth is getting its well deserved reality check. I think ( well its happening in ours here ) they seems to be running short-staffed lately. The loss of 20 employees must be difficult -- and obviously cheaper to clean the store than allow more people to fall ill. Yes, banging the head on people's refusals for common sense. Is there anyone left who has some.

Ruth, don't bang your head too hard, one gentle tap only please.

She so typifies the Peter Principle ( which I know is and old and outdated idea ) that it is stunning. She should have stayed where she was and hopefully kept hold of some standards and ethics instead of trying to turn herself into a mini-Trumpette. He is so done for all time.

Yesterday I had a table at the local Christmas craft show. We had over 700 shoppers come through the doors and every one of them had to show proof of double vaccination (so did the vendors, of course.) Not one single incident of complaining or holding up the line by anti-vaxxers. It went really smoothly! And I had a great (profitable) day!

As always I am not crazy about some of the language used to present this idea, but I do find the idea as solid as can be. This guy just does not pull punches.

Where do they get these names -- but now put to good use.

Another note here as I've been reading that CNN is in a real ratings/viewership slump. They tried very hard to hire Rachel Maddow away for MSNBC and it sounds like their may have been some slight temptation. Instead MSNBC changed Rachel's hours and she opted to stay where she is. Also at the same time it was said that CNN has been rather harsh in its somewhat constant critique that the Dems. just were unable to get it done ( they said we would not get infrastructure through ) and that we were in dis-array all the time. The ye old ratings game at work. CNN is shading things and giving credit to the rt. which doesn't deserve it. I would suppose ( jut my outlook from what I read ) they thought having Rachel on board would turn things around. Not going to happen and they need to quit mainly lying to keep viewership. In the end -- I think it is those who come closest to how things REALLY are so if they don't fuel the ship with something much closer to truth they can stay in third place and who knows -- maybe drift further down.

Just a note here. I do watch CNN and generally can be okay, but I've been a mite disgusted for awhile now about all the news that tends to cater toward ratings on ANY channel, even my favorite of MSNBC. CNN has just been fairly blatant as of late. I haven't watched them as much because of it.

Yes, Mr. maybe you have had one too many concussions as someone said. Go home and enjoy passing GO and not being able to play or collect money. And as also said -- what about concerns over steroids' and fertility. Another one too smart to hear what he is actually saying which puts him in the stupid as a box of rocks category.
