Did you see the first post on the comments thread? Ralph the llama or something like that, said, “Well, there’s only so much evil one can do” LOL…. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 28, 2009 @ 11:44 am Hey Mo, tell my iris that. They have bloomed for the third time this season! Just kidding, actually I have created some micro climates here in my gardens, just so I can grow some specialty plants, easy to do with wind breaks to keep the heat in. Yes it is cooling, May and June the temps were much lower than normal. My growing season this year was 2-3 weeks behind what it should have been and ended earlier than normal this fall. Very wet fall this year. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 28, 2009 @ 11:35 am Thanks, I saw and read it this morning, too bad this silly loophole can’t be changed, it’s just bizarre the way the majority rule is stopped short by this one thing. Yes, this is our third storm this fall, but we didn’t have a big hurricane season this year, thank god. We have sustained winds at 10-15 MPH, it’s been gusting up to 30 here where we are on the water. At least the sun has come out, hasn’t shone here for the last three days and things are drying up. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 28, 2009 @ 11:27 am Afternoon here in windy CT, how’s it going? I very rarely post on HP anymore, the articles have become so trite, it’s like reading the Enquirer. SP and Wall Street, (Tim Geithner), bashing seem to be the thing now there. Both generate a lot of clicks per story, it’s all about the bottom line to the Queen, it has nothing to do with principles or political beliefs. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 28, 2009 @ 11:08 am Flossy is an contradicting ass, Gringo and Ramirez are baiters….and very intelligent posters fail for it everytime. There’s a new one that is popping up every where and that is acapo. Definately a paid poster to instigate more clicks on the smaller articles. Quite an annoying twit. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 28, 2009 @ 10:59 am AdLib, I love your ideas, too bad we have to wait 2016 for you to run! The idea of the Green Zones to me is a doable one, and a common sense solution, has anyone heard if this was on the table or not? » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 4:56 pm Do not go gentle into that good night (well, on second thought…) I have a list for my jewelry, my neices have already put their dibs in and I’m only 51, very healthy and very active, can you believe that! Well, who cares…it’s only for me to enjoy while I’m still on this earth… » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 4:12 pm @javaz, Good, I’m glad, if you need anymore recipes, let me know. Tonight I’m making two cheese cakes, one for Thanksgiving and one for my husband for here at home. He always complains that there’s never any left over when I make it! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 3:41 pm Suzanne, the truth always seems to get deleted over there! Talk about cleaning house, I was the executor for both my parents and grandmother, and had to clean out both their houses to get them ready for sale. You would not believe the years of accumulation of stuff that they had. It took close to 6 mos. to go through each house and many dumpsters later, before the houses were ready to go. Since then, I have learned that a lot of the “stuff” that we accumulate is not really necessary, you can’t take it with you, as the saying goes. I have had at least 4 tag sales over the past 5 yrs, given things to goodwill and have stopped buying “stuff” and live a much simplier life….hopefully when my time comes it will be easier for my nieces and nephews to clean up and they won’t have to go through what I did. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 3:37 pm Kqark, from taking care of my mother, the family has to be the advocate for the patient, because at times the treatment that they are going through is pretty tough on them, like chemo, and they are not able to voice their wishes. This happen to work for my family in particular, we presented a strong, informed and united front. But after hearing this story, we were lucky in way, we had wonderful caring doctors. Unfortunately now a days, this may not be the norm…. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 3:03 pm I thank God she lives in another state, none of us in the family, even her sisters will take her calls any more. We all let our phones go to the machine to see who it is! Sad when you have someone like that in the family… » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 2:25 pm e’cat…I’ve got a sister-in-law that’s a nurse, that goes into “nurse mode” also…my god, what is it with them and doctors…do they think they hold all the power. Sorry, I have issues with my siter-in-law, or as I say, my husbands sister…try to distance myself from her as much as possible, the gruff know it all that she is. Boy, a button was just pushed in me, sorry, just venting, have a nice day! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 12:03 pm escribacat, what a wonderful post. I find it amazing that at the number of tests conducted at the end of someones life. I understand that doctors took a hippocratic oath, but enough is enough…..they must have known that no more could be done for your Mother and for those other patients. The doctors that we had for both my Mother and Grandmother at the end of their lives, must have been anomalies. For both, those doctors knew there was no more that they could do for them and suggested to us that hospice was the way to go. Which was such a blessing, the nurses were wonderful to the family. We should be all allowed to have everything possible done for us medically, but when it’s time, it’s time…death with dignity should be the norm, not prolonged misery… » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 11:26 am Hey Patsy, I too think they put Getner in there like Roosevelt put Joe Kennedy Sr. in, it takes a thief to catch a thief…Getner has the credentials and the knowledge needed, unfortunately he does not have the forceful personality that Joe Sr. did. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 8:24 am My brother-in-law uses that one, LOL! For all his right leaning, Faux spewing propaganda, he’s really funny and is really a dear! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 4:43 pm LOL…Monk you are too much! I am definately copying these!!!!! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 4:07 pm East Norwalk, three towns above Greenwich, can’t afford that town! That’s where all the big wigs live. The Jr. Wall Streeter’s live from Darien, North Stamford, Rowayton and of course E. Norwlk, up to Fairfield. All on the Metro North Line… But hey, they buy boats and have gardens designed, we just dismiss their obnoxious behavior with “Bless your heart” and charge an aggravation fee! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 4:05 pm This is the second time around for me, and yes, I do like him a lot! We don’t argue, we discuss things in a heated manor and it’s always good to have the upper hand at times with a good comeback! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 3:58 pm HITO, I see your going to NYC, we live 40 min. by train/car in southern CT…so are you a New Englander or Up State New Yorker? » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 3:52 pm Hey HITO, I think I’m going to use the second ditty with my hubby when he get’s to be a bit much! LOL!!!! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 24, 2009 @ 3:47 pm Senate debates Health Care Bill I’m off too, night all… » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 8:06 pm All threads lead back to Sarah….Why Lord, Why us? » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:56 pm I do remember the one reading the phonebook…not recipes. That would be pretty good. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:51 pm Thanks, copied it, too late to read tonight.. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:40 pm Thanks nellie, this is so confusing to me at times. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:38 pm I’m learning so much from all of you, thanks. Question: Do you really think that the Republicans would try a filibuster? I see them threatening it, but I don’t see them actually doing it. Also, when was the last time there was an actual filibuster? » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:29 pm Nite javaz, take care. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:15 pm I love it, he really sounds like that at times…God, he’s my senator….you just can’t imagine how embarrassed I am to admit that. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:09 pm This is what the Dems need, some forward positive momentum to give them some confidence in standing up to those dweebs. » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:06 pm LOL…we all seem to be animal lovers here, maybe we should forget politics one night and just talk about our critters! » Posted By BigDogMom On November 21, 2009 @ 7:02 pmComments Posted By BigDogMom
