I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Jackie, I just read a piece on how there may be more Independents now because some of the Tea Party types don't see themselves as Republicans.  So while they now identify as Independent they still tend to vote Republican - in other words a re-labeling rather than a realignment in voting.

Edited to add:  Which would also explain the decline in those labeling themselves as Republican, an issue that caused Republicans to get into "unskewing" polls because they felt Republicans were under represented...they were there, just now called themselves Independents.

Sun - I had my Vit D done just before I found out I had BC (on Vet's day, as a matter a fact and totally forgot about that 1 year mark yesterday).  It was low - I think 18.   I've been taking a mega-dose weekly since April (switched PCPs, got BC after that result....explaining the wait).  I don't know how long it takes to get to normal.  Do you know?  I've got a blood test scheduled any time I get my arse into the hospital here.  My suspicion is that the weekly dose is not enough, despite it being 43,000 IUs.

I have to say, I feel like a creeky old lady. Moving after being still is tough. Is this normal?? I can hike to the limit of my PN in my feet, uphills, downhills, etc., but just getting out of bed, or out of a chair, or the car after sitting for awhile is not nice.  Seeing the MO for my 3 month checkup, so I have lots to ask her about this darn Exemestane drug.

Ok , back to the fun......

Now you know why I complain constantly about having to blow the leaves and rake up the acorns!

This was just my front yard!

Sun - the bunny boiler term came from the movie "Fatal Attraction" back in the 80's (I think - but it could have been the 90's).  Glenn Close played the Other Woman and she boiled the family's pet bunny when the married man (Michael - oh shoot I can't remember anything anymore - ) anyway when he wouldn't leave his wife for her.

This weather is too hot for November (60s)!! Aghhh...wil move to Nova Scotia if this continues....

Bren, what a bunch of leaves.  I can't imagine what the acorns are like.

Riley - I take D3, and i think it's actually 50,000 IU's once a week.

Leaves - I have them and they are sure slow to come down this year.  Suppose to snow this week, so not sure if I'll get them up before then...nothing worse than wet soppy leaves.  It's 37 here and cold......but it will get colder before January arrives.

Yes, the term is 'in reference' to Fatal Attraction but the term wasn't used until much more recently - yes, men are freaked out by that movie - hey if you're going to fool around you better beware! 

I take 50k IUs once/week but its the blue/green capsule. It did the trick for my vit d levels.



Had my radiation simulation today. I am so underwhelmed.



Does anyone want a cat? She's almost a year old, Siamese, very pretty and friendly to humans but she terrorizes my Maine coon!

Kam, have you tried glucosamine? Since I started taking it my joints feel a lot better. I also take Vit D3.

Yorkie - no, haven't tried that.  Just seems so odd that 90% of the drugs I take are to remedy the symptoms caused by the other 10%!

Intrigue.....

Karl Rove pictured with Paula Broadwell  6/11/2012 @ NCSL Leaders Forum

Affairs, Petraeous, bunny boilers, POTUS election, Fox News, Rupert Murdoch, Eric Cantor, Libya and Karl Rove......things that make you go hmmm.

You'll have to read the Crooks and Liars thread I posted.  It's all pretty much observational, including a timeline.  You know, it's a laying out of the dots, not really connecting them, other than Rove and Patreaous were close...Paula was speaking about Fox News Libya tidbits at some Colorado conference and in one instance, seeming to speak for the muted Patreaous, while Rove is trying to stir up election trouble on Fox, about Libya.  They also invited Bob Woodward in at one point, but he turned them down, saying there wasn't much there there (on the Libya story).

I'm not making any conclusions....but I've pretty much felt there is no there there on the Libya thing and it's one big righwing pre-election conspiracy in an attempt to disparage our POTUS and now we have these other connections.....just all too coincidental.

I can assure you there is no "there" there on Libya. It truly is just another way to smear the President. There certainly was much more of a "there" there when Dumbya and Satan Cheney and their band of demons ignored spelled-out, blatant klaxons of alarm on the upcoming Septembef 11 terrorist attacks, but no hostile Congresscritters made up crap and hounded that Administraton for criminal negligence (Condi Rice's slip-up of calling Dumbya her husband notwithstanding).



Movies - I want to see the "Best Marigold Exotic Hotel" ... It was on PPV on our cable. Waiting for it to come to regular movie channels. We saw "Moonrise Kingdom" over the summer (the first day of the derecho blackout, as a matter of fact) and can highly recommend it as a quirky, cute, sweet movie. We don't often go to movies anymore because people are so rude, talking to each other, talking on cell phones, kicking the back of seats. We are off work this week so we may venture to an old folks' mantinee.



"Bunny boiler" describes it so perfectly, Sandy! DH laughed out loud when I repeated it.



Sunflowers, I cannot take credit for Sparklemoose - Lindasa used it once and I adopted it. There are also other delightful descriptors - Tundra Tart, Tundra Tramp, Wasilly Hillbilly, and Snowdrift Snooki, among others.



We were talking about our investments today and have decided since the President was reelected, we don't need to go immediately to capital preservation mode. Even if we go off the fiscal cliff, things will get better after another short recession, and the cliff will make a nice start at making a dent in the deficit. And we still advocate eliminating the cap on Social Security contributions from wages. That would absolutely make the trust fund solvent and take a bunch of worries off the table.

Well, well, sounds like all the talking head tea partiers still want to see massive obstructionism taking place.  Wonder why they want to rush the Repug party into total annihilation so quickly.  What is left for them????  They are going be knocking on a closed door...what a bunch.  There are so many people who wouldn't know a fact if it drug them into deep water and held them there.
