henry - There are plenty who have eaten Keto for years and are quite healthy. Many of those people are doctors and researchers. I agree that we are not like mice.

rse - prayers for all to go smoothly today with your husband. Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm downloading the Schweizer audiobook for my 6-7 hour drive today. Heading to W. Tenn. for a double baby shower. My niece and her brother's wife are both expecting baby boys in March only 3 days apart. The brother's baby is a miracle after 7+ years of infertility so everyone is so excited for them. I am not thrilled about driving in this rain but hopefully, the book will keep me alert. I read about it but here is the video of the dad letting Warren know how he feels about paying for other people's college loans. https://twitter.com/CarpeDonktum/status/1220587029374885888

Happy Birthday, maryrose!

I must agree with all who are choosing not to watch the clown show. Life is too short to waste hours watching their absurd attempt to destroy the President.

rse - Just read the post about your husband. Praying for him, for you, for the children and for the doctors.

Great Pieces, Clarice! You and Iggy make quite a team! Porch - Thanks for the links to the "Comedy Unleashed" YouTube videos. There were some really funny lines and I enjoyed seeing the audience response as well.

Here is what he claims @David_Leavitt Award-Winning Multimedia Journalist. Bylines: CBS, AXS, Yahoo, Examiner, etc.

Iggy - Reader's Digest version - Leavitt found an electric toothbrush that was mislabeled as costing one cent (in a Target.) It really wasn't even the toothbrush but the display. He proceeds to call the police when the young clerk would not "honor" the price. Caused a huge scene. THEN bragged all about it on Facebook. People rallied to support the clerk and Carpe Donktum said she deserved a vacation after that treatment and began a Go Fund Me (sort of as a joke, I think) but it raised almost $24, 000 which has been given to the young lady.

SO surprised he's been caught lying! Hard to read - it says, "April 24, 2018 - You are winning when you get the dentist office to turn off FoxNews." Then - "5 hours ago, "I have been unable to afford to go to a dentist in over three years. So yes, I wanted a good toothbrush..."

Amazing - they have now raised almost $23,000 for the Target employee who was "abused" and maligned by David Leavitt! Mostly small $5 and $10 donations. I believe it represents regular Americans who are fed up to *here* with journalists acting like they are special. David Leavitt - Award-Winning Multimedia Journalist. Bylines: CBS, AXS, Yahoo, Examiner, etc. Probably too much to ask that some of them (journalists) get the message, I know!

If you need to end the night on a good, encouraging note - I recommend this compilation from Brad Parscale of sad broadcasters after last night's debate "performance." https://twitter.com/parscale/status/1217626980239192065

What wonderful news, Dr.J Congratulations!

If the prosecutors were threatening Gen. Flynn concerning his son, it's my belief that this would be something done off the record and in secret. Why would there be "proof" of this? Even a written record (depending on the son's problem) would seem to violate any agreement. As it seems the whole point would be to keep whatever it is from becoming public. Is this not the case?

Is it true - no audience at the dems debate? Only the media was present? (Also, no American flag, of course!)

Right now, the public appears to think that it is reasonable to get testimony from Bolton. Is this a fact or conjecture? If the "thin sliver" does not currently see the dems circus as unreasonable, I highly doubt JB can change their minds.

Yes, JMH, we have lots of wisteria and also wild yellow jasmine. Two of my favorite things are the dogwoods and native azaleas. When the azaleas bloom, the woods smell like perfume.

A well-deserved honor! https://www.10tv.com/article/man-who-shot-church-gunman-gets-highest-texas-civilian-honor-2020-jan

I had no idea the 2 were nominated for an Oscar. Can you even *imagine* the fawning that will go on over her dress? How the press will splash them all over the news as if they own that red carpet. Yuck!

CH - Darby weighs 6 pounds. I have no doubt the hawk could pick her up but with her feisty attitude, it could turn into a "Ransom of Red Chief" situation. JMH - I took that photo with my iPhone. I was wishing I had a nice camera with a long lens. I thought it was unusual to see one perched on such a low limb. Don't you love your woods? I especially enjoy the winter when the colors are all grays & browns.

A friend from Va. just posted - crazy dems passing crazy laws! As part of the Democrat’s hastily drawn up gun ban, credentialed employees are required to go through security each time they enter the building. It’s taking over an hour for staff just to get into the building. This is the result of passing a poorly vetted policy late on a Friday afternoon and leaving no time to alert employees of its impact.

That would be Rachel Jeantel! "that's retarded, sir!"

Ex: Beautiful bird. I snapped this photo this morning through my bedroom window - a Red-shouldered hawk - sitting on the edge of our woods. (Why Darby cannot go out unsupervised!)

How exactly did they steal the signs? Would your UPS driver do this? (watch for the thumbs up at the end) https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=32&v=Q_WrhIgNHS8&feature=emb_logo

Robin - My daughter also played high school volleyball. My cousin told me during that time to try to embrace and enjoy the season. It will be over "in the blink of an eye" and you will forget the missed meals, smelly uniforms, angst about this and that. You will remember the joy of winning, the after-game trips to get burgers, and mostly the talks in the car as you drive for miles and miles. I found that all to be true.

MR - Darby will be Toto Feb. 20, 21, & 22 - two shows per day. We're deep into rehearsals now~ She's having a blast!
