Bogart - definitely another one.

Rosemary - gorgeous kitty!!!

Went to the markets this morning and then we went to Steve's golf club for a Father's Day breakfast - yummy - now I'm really tired, so I might have a nap after lunch.

Daniel Day Lewis and yes I remember Illya very well.  Never could make up my mind though between him and Vaughan.

There's also Alexander Skarsgård.  Not a bad looking vampire!

Skarsgard was up for the role of Illya in the Man from UNCLE movie that was being talked about a few years ago - and that's not currently being made.

CLC

Gregory Peck.

CLC, I was just going to say that! He was even a beautiful old man!

HL...I just watched a clip of him from To Kill a Mockingbird.  Part of what is so appealing about him is his gentleness, sereneness (is that a word?)...it only deepened and intensified with age.

Definitely Gregory Peck - that voice too.

Tyrone Power

and for voices, Jeremy Irons.

I will happily go to heaven as soon as I am able to purchase a CD of Jeremy Irons reading T.S. Eliot's The Four Quartets.

Gregory Peck, always and forever, as Atticus Finch.

Meant to ask - has everyone seen the picture circulating of President Obama studying papers, sitting in a chair on the patio at the White with an empty chair next to him: Caption, President Obama meeting with Clint Eastwood.

I've emailed it to several  - in case anyone knows how to post a picture here....

Momine

I love both the kitty and Jeremy Irons

That empty chair was a perfect representation of the fictional (Muslim, socialist, demon)Obama they have created to mislead people.  That person does not exist.  And he would never respond with a 'f*ck you' either ... I think they were thinking of Cheney on that one. 

I didn't ... and don't ... expect miracles out of any one President.  I think the train is back on the tracks and running the right direction.  I do not want to see it derailed again for the benefit of a few ... with the majority left to pay the price once more. 

We are waiting for our storms to begin here.  Later than they originally said but any minute now.  Guess they must have hung out over you in Illinois longer than expected Jackie. 

Now ... back to the coffee pot for a refill

Sean Connery ... that voice alone ...

Sun, I've seen it and it's very funny. Wish I could post pictures here, but have never been able to do it.

Wabbit

This one?

ETA ... had to fix the picture a little.

One of those priceless things for sure.  I am usually on here later and since this is the third part of BC. Org I have begun to post on, I almost always go to the others in order.  This morning I watched "Meet The Press".  I think I'll always miss Tim Russert, so many times I don't watch anymore.....but as it was righ after the convention. 

Couple of major speakers for the R side....the noted Mr. Gingrich, which would also be one of those I'd award a rusty nail.  Talk of course, about how Pres. Obama has failed......and I thought, yes Newt....and with whom.  For at least three yrs. of his term my taxes have been fine......in fact, the last two years I have gotten money back ( not a major windfall ) but I stopped having to PAY in on a yearly basis.  That says so very much to me along with the fact I'm allowed my voice right now.  Yes, I have had disappointments with this Presidency and there will be more.....but I've also had so far, four years where I didn't wonder what would be taken away from me next.   Think that pretty much says it all.

We had another major deluge yesterday here....not the softer, slower rain predicted.  More today, but I do think the brunt of this has moved on.  Not sure we did much for our water table.  Settled several inches of dust though.

I wonder how much Pres Obama could have accomplished if the Republicans hadn't decided Day One to obstruct anything and everything that he tried to do.  My disappointment is with them more than with the things from his promises that the President was unable to accomplish. It kind of reminds me of trying to go do anything with a tired two year old who is having a tantrum - really really difficult, especially when it goes on every day, all day.

crazy4carrots

Never a good idea for elected officials to put the good of their party above the good of their country......

THANK YOU WR....yup.  That one.  I JUST LOVE IT.  Love thoe one from his twitter page too, but there's just something so wonderful about this...YES, I AM GOING TO VOTE TO RE-ELECT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Jackie, I watched MTP too, and appreciated Tom Friedman not getting into a "pissin' " fight with Newt, TF just said: " I am a Planned Parenthood supporter." ( paraphrased) he went on, end of paragraph, period.

How can Carly Fiorina go on about a "woman is more than just the abortion issue" - when if a woman IS GOING TO BE MORE, take a greater LEADERSHIP role in our society: economically, politically, she has to BE ABLE TO CONTROL HER OWN BODY and plan her own choices about parenthood.

Echo's of Gloria Steinum, who said, probably about 40 years ago:" If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."  Maybe we don't have to use that language today, change ALWAYS starts with someone willing to make waves, but the sentiment is still the same.

Rant over....have a sunny day, and I hope those getting the rain are doing well, fields absorbing much needed water, maybe able to get some Fall crops in.

Hi guys - been reading your wonderful posts since getting out of surgery Thursday night.  Totally agree with Jeremy Irons and Gregory Peck, whatever they're doing.   Don't like the fibbing and lying (RNC, Marathon)...saw only segments of the chair event and hardly anything of the speech that followed. (Got out of recovery at 9pm on Thursday.)  Seems like "they" only wanted to talk about "the chair;" I got that much and the sense it was a disastor, though I think Clint Eastwood is a good man.  Too bad he got caught up in that mess.  Edited to add, heard the very tail end of McCain...was he saying we should be in war in about 6 countries he listed off?  That was disgusting.

 This surgery was more difficult than I expected...just want time to go by so I can heal and go home at the end of the week.  Then I can say, the worst is over!  Sending you all good wishes.

((((kam)))) Glad the worst is over - congrats on getting through it all!

pupmom

Hi Kam! Glad you done with surgery, so sorry it was rough.  ((hugs)))

{{{{{{Kam}}}}} - it all gets better from now on.  In a strange kinda way, I'm happy for you that you didn't think the surgery was going to be as difficult - LESS to worry about, seriously.  AND, AND, AND - now that you're on the other side of it - and hopefully PROUD OF YOURSELF for doing this and taking such GOOD CARE of yourself - your healing will proceed.  I also hope you've got some Percoset

Well, that's My Best Friend for the first few days after surgery.

Now, your orders from all of us:  REST, and take very (VERY) good care of yourself.

WHEW...so glad for you it's over.  Yikes, I do HATE the anticipation of surgery.  Seriously, it just freaks me out - and I've had so much, you'd think I'd get used to it by now.  Main reason I haven't had these bothersome little poached egg sized implants sliding into my armpits removed - just can NOT face more surgery, even an easy one.

SO - you're been thru a LOT....PLEASE be proud of yourself, and rest, rest, Percoset, and rest...

alexandria58

Kam,  wishing you good healing!!

IllinoisLady

((((((Kam)))))  wishing you lots of positive healing energies.

I don't know. Obama had the majority for 2 years and chose Obamacare as the signature. Sorry, we needed jobs. Sorry to swoop in like this but the post from Lassie got my gourd up.

Mmmm ?

Hi Barbara! Good to see you. We've been worried about you. 

My family has benefitted from Obamacare. I would hate to see it go away. I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on that. I'm just happy to see you here.

Swoop in Barbara so happy to see you, even if we disagree.

More jobs were not created because the stimulus package was not big enough and because republicans all of a sudden developed an obsession with the budget deficit that had mysteriously been missing when the main deficit drivers of today - the Bush tax cuts and the War of Choice - were voted on.

"Obamacare" is actually modeled on a GOP plan and not the plan liberals wanted.
