For a man to dishonor, lie, invent fabrications, purposefully and falsely accuse Viet Nam warriors of the most vile and vicious atrocities, should result by any humanitarian standard in incarceration with prejudice. My heart weeps, my soul cries out for justice, my mind tells this cannot be happening in America…what have we become?
John Kerry, a war criminal just a few days away from a congressional hearing and vote that could confirm his as Secretary of State…a man with the character of a rat, snake, roach, gaining through perjured testimony he gave Congress forty years ago is now deemed worthy of honor…a thought that has me shaking between weeping and puking…

Seen any good flicks lately, my rose? We saw Matt Damon’s “Promised Land” a couple weeks ago. It was pretty good, but have seen better. Will say this: The surprise ending was, well, a surprise.

DSSW and a couple of her gal pals have set a goal of seeing all the Oscar-nominated pitcher shows. Yesterday, it was “Django Unchained.” Their reviews of it were similar to what the lovely Mrs. Sister posted. They, too, thought it was great; just covered their eyes during the brutal parts. Me, I’m on the road these days and way behind with movie-going.

Note to anybody interested: If the pee-pee joke posted at 11:29 PM won’t open there, maybe it will here:

I have educated myself and can tell you that since the Sandy Hook shooting(12/14/12), more than twice as many Americans have died due to firearms than in the entire ten years of the war in Afganistan. What a country!

Educate yourselves.

Going back to Outlier's comment, you might have missed this when I posted it earlier this week:

LOL!

Talk of pee pees brings to mind this joke sent by a Jewish pal yesterday. Enjoy! (Or not.)

I knew all along it was about tiny pee pees.

I'm still not sure that's the actual truth, as I had been told in the past that I was being billed ahead of service. I am not unconvinced that I got screwed because I dropped two services. The did not, however, charge to reconnect me and apologized for not calling back.

I met him once, several years ago at a World Series party that Ted Turner sponsored in Atlanta. I remember him as a very gracious and approachable gentleman who took the time to visit with everyone who wanted to speak to him.

The hubby had been on the ball field all day in the Dominican when I called him earlier to tell him of the passing of Earl Weaver. I will let him know we have lost another legend.

Now to change the subject--here is a great letter to the NRA:

You know Verla, during the huge ice/snow storm in NWA of 2009, I had neighbors who were without phone (wire and cable) for 10 days. Naturally they were welcome to use our cell phones.
If possible I strongly suggest a move to cellular, in case you haven't. I do not miss my SWB ph at all, not a bit. You can keep your current ph number too.

Well, they offered to bundle the so-called high-speed internet at twice the speed (up to 6 mbps downstream) with my landline including unlimited long distance in the continental US for $45! That saves $14/month plus I'm guessing another $2 or so of monthly taxes,a bout $16/month or $192 over the next year. And in return for the savings I now have internet speed twice as fast AND unlimited long distance.

AT&T U-verse just recently came to our neck of the woods. This bundle price is locked in for 12 months.

It pays to call and let them know there are competitors for all these services, and you are considering switching if you can get a better deal elsewhere. I believe in showing them the same loyalty they show us- none.
