Time Out for O/T – Vol. 15

HH,

Do you really believe this or do I need to have my bifocals adjusted?

I totally disagree.

To Everyone,

Whether our HP friends are permanent or just passing by, I want to take this opportunity to welcome each and everyone of you to The Planet.

I have been here since 12/2009. I am beyond impressed with your writing talent and apologize for how it has been abused in the past.

The Planet does not operate this way and each of us celebrates individual successes. We do — absolutely.

There is no better place to be than here. Trust me, and I am probably the least experienced of the lot. Yet, I recognize Good People and have yet to be disappointed.

***EDIT*** If I have to watch the “Beatification of Ronald Regan” one more time. Honestly? I think I will puke.

Blah, blah, blah…sounds like a broken record to me. Ya, think?

Peace,
boomer

I hear you Patsy. Consider yourself, CL, AL, and other CA Planeteers among the better informed, with the ability to think for yourselves. Most Ohioans can’t think for themselves, are followers, take Faux News, O’Reilly, Beck, Limpballs, and any other RW-Obama-Basher-Because-He-Is-Black as Gospel.

As you know, many in the Buckeye State have had brain freeze, not just recently, but for years! I’m proud to say I’m not my parent’s daughter. They still be spinning in their graves.

Their reality is beyond dated:

How did I do AdLib? Did I pass inspection? πŸ˜‰

Seriously, in the beginning we couldn’t add an image into a comment. But, several folks made the suggestion and the Admins. “discussed amongst themselves.” They decided it was such a bad idea, and gave us “the power.” The first night we could do it, people were posting pics all over the place. However, I just couldn’t get it to work.

If you find something you want to add, you must first make sure there is no copyright infringement. After that, right click on the pic and scroll down to “View Image Info”; another window should pop up with a description of the photo: Location, Type, Size, and Dimensions. LOCATION is what you want: copy the URL, http://www.treehugger.com/barack-obama-for-president.jpg; then go to “Add an image…by clicking here. And this should be what happens…

***EDIT*** Got a standing ovation from kesmarn the night I accomplished this. πŸ˜†

That said, it takes practice, we’ve all traveled the learning curve, and everyone here is here to lend a hand.

You’re not allowed to make the rest of us feel like parents. No fair! πŸ˜‰

Welcome to The Planet Bluebird! It’s wonderful to see you here!

RE: Boner, I’m in Ohio and he is a complete and total embarrassment to many of us.

John Boehner, what an asshole!!

Kilgore,

I use a computer everyday – it’s part of my job. However, I’ve learned so much here that when the things that work here don’t work somewhere else, I go crazy.

Plus, several of us have made suggestions (only because we’re layzee), and AdLib waved his magic wand to make happen.

» Posted By boomer1949 On February 15, 2011 @ 3:16 pm

I read that. What the Hell is wrong with these people? I’m beginning to think there must be something else in the damn Kool-Aid.

Wonderful MW!

Welcome to The Planet HotChocolatePary! I’d rather welcome you twice (Sr. Moment), than not welcome you at all. πŸ˜‰

Hi PW,

No, but I will. Might not be until tomorrow with the time difference and all. However, if it’s about Maggie waking you up in the middle of the night, my first guess is it’s because she is hungry, second guess, litter box, third guess, she just wants your attention, fourth guess, she just may need a 4 pawed friend. Not that you’re a reject, or anything, but 4 more paws can make a huge. behavioral difference.

More later,
boom

Are you home all day, every day? My kiddos become quite confused Mon.-Fri. They get worse as the weekend progresses.

Okay, EST, work tomorrow, and I must be coherent.

Later all! Thanks for listening.

So, after the lengthy diatribe about cats and their behavior, I looked at the time and it’s 11:35 pm EST. Shame on me.

The digital alarm will be screaming my name long before I want to shut it off and get up.

My best to all and will see you tomorrow.

Hugs,
boomer

Everyone with questions about the cats in your lives…

I am a former dog person (a Westie and a Golden), but converted to mousers in 2000.

I volunteer at a shelter, but in no way consider myself an expert when it comes to furry felines. However, our dear Kalima is, in my mind, an expert on cats, how they function daily basis, personalities, and overall, general temperament.

K is another source. and one I consider an expert, in understanding and caring for the paws (regardless of how many)in our lives.

No, they aren’t dogs, but with a little effort on the part of their parent, they’re not as independent as we have been led to believe.

Crate…for as long as it takes.

You must intervene for the older ones. Otherwise the “difficult” one will think he is in charge. Seriously, you put his sorry tail in time out.

I usually give a couple of warnings, but the two younger ones know the limit.

The older troops will begin to resent you. If I’m slackin’ around on the sofa, the “adolescents” want to hang out. However, when they here me say “kenz, time for bed,” they know they don’t stand a chance to get beyond the “Wizard’s Curtain.”

I make sure the younger ones know they cannot pick on the oldest. Really weird because I talk to them the same as I would my kids.

Bailey knows not to pick on kenzie. It took awhile, but he gets it now.

PS – you want to talk pet psychology? Ask the Big Guy to give you my email address and tell him I said it is a-okay.

Here’s what happened to me a couple of years ago. Severe pain, upper right quadrant. SOS my gall bladder!

Never mind what happened to me…I refused to be released and wouldn’t let them send me to a curb in the parking lot. Thank goodness, because the surgeon said I would’ve been dead within 24 hours had I not stood my ground. Gawd I embarrassed the ex-husband to death,but I saved my life! Go figure and thanks to the pain meds.

Of course Nurse kes can attest to the “Wonder Woman” effects of Dilaudid; sad it’s only available in an OR setting, it truly is a wonder drug.

After two C-Sections, a miscarriage, an Appendectomy, some minor laser surgey, and the Gall Bladder, the big D for the Gall Bladder was by far the best ever pain medicine I’d ever received.

Vicodin, Percoset, and I are in total disagreement all of the time.

Can’t get it anywhere but in the OR or for pain following surgery.

What was significant. to me at least, were the number of patients in the waiting room who were not emergencies.

Most became annoyed, stating they’d return another day when it wasn’t so busy.

It was obvious these folks used the ER as PCPs. Me? No, and for me to go to the ER, anyone who knows me well, would know I was seriously ill.

It’s just like bi-pedal children. You put their sorry behinds in time out. I’ve gotten to the point where all I need to do is point.

The oldest one gets a break and I always intervene on her behalf, but the two year olds? They get out of control and off they go — some times until I decide to get up in the morning.

You be the Alpha Mamma, Abby, just ask AB. Time to exert your power.

zoot,

Beck has been off his meds for quite some time. Must’ve lost his prescription med coverage.

Yes, and once one enrolls, it can’t be changed unless there is a significant “life-changing” event. If one doesn’t sign up during the designated enrollment period (at my company at least) one can not initiate enrollment unless it is a “life-changing? event; marriage, birth, divorce. One must wait another year.

If either one of them had an ounce of common sense, I’d give them a 3 on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being God.

***EDIT*** And that, my friend is a stretch. Neither one of them comes close to common sense, much less being able to spell it.

Anyone affiliated with Faux News is useless, incompetent, paid by the Kochs (however secretly funneled, and really, really hates the fact an African American family is living in the “WHITE HOUSE”).

As I have stated for well over 2 years, including before my departure from HP, if President Obama were White, the minority would not be pissing, moanig, or ragging on him.

It’s not rocket science.

Anyone carrying a sock monkey while standing in line to attend a McPalin Town Hall had more on his/her mind than a stuffed animal for security. Seriously, it’s quite enlightening to review all the old video. I think we have some of it captured somewhere in our Archives, but I’m not sure where. I know there are those who are more capable than I to provide those links.

I am losing my train of thought and not making sense, so I will stop here for now. However, I will say this: the dynamics in this country, since President Obama was sent to DC, has digressed to a 50’s & 60’s mentality. And I’m embarrassed to say I was there during that time. It was just as disgusting then as it is now.

Mr. Moyers is 15 years my Senior and that is freakin’ scary! However, given his background in journalism, his interest in politics and what makes the world go ’round in general, one would never know (or care) how old he is.

Unfortunately, the KOCH BROS continue to wheel and deal. Makes no difference the month or the year, their agenda is to destroy the current administration regardless of the outcome, but as long as it benefits them. The Kochs are the 1% who infiltrated and are dictating what the GOP does.

They do not give a rat’s ass about the Tea Party. They took advantage and used them.

David Koch, with his trophy wife and three children who should very well be his grandchildren, is on a mission. He is on a mission to destroy the first African American President of the United States and, anyone or anything not conforming to his selfish, it’s all about me, Libertarian agenda.

btw…each of his 3 children have a personal Nanny and each goes to a private boarding school. Why bother having children or pets if you are unwilling to accept the responsibility?

Even my 3 yo grandson says “Peas”.

Thanks jd. I was beginning to think it was just me.

PW,

You be doin’ good! Smooch!

» Posted By boomer1949 On February 14, 2011 @ 5:37 pm

Seriously Abby, if we don’t set an example, then we are no better than the rest of them.

PS…great article today! You and AdLib must have spoken last night or something. Amazing the two of you came up with such similar pieces on the same topic.

I’m very, very glad you are here.
