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

Chickadee - are you iced in??? Friends near Dallas said it is dreadful.

Jackie - you need to forgive yourself for being anxious about a mammogram - for gawd's sake, we KNOW what they're looking for!!! I get worked up a few weeks before my annual visit to oncologist, and I'm almost 7 years out from diagnosis! I don't think it really ever goes away.

HEMP. My new "kick." As another poster posted re a DF nutrionist talking about protein power made of HEMP.

the organic hulled seeds are yummy. And the Nutivia hemp protein powder is gonna be my new drink with coconut milk.

The seeds are tiny ( expensive) and remind me of a less oily tasting macadamia flavour.

Ok, everyone up here is predicting icemageddon, I am SO tired of the fear mongers, alias ''weather person's" who really like to hear the sound of their own voices..apologies to any weatherpersons we know, but REALLY!

My British friends in London used to wonder why everybody before a snowstorm in the States got diarrhea and needed milk....the reports are ALWAYS of stores selling out of toilet paper & milk. I used to chuckle at that one...

Blue - fascinating to click on the FB pages of those "Mandela is a Communist / Terroist" posters. Tea Partiers, Obama haters, righteously religious, etc., etc.k and all of the ones I sampled, from the South. I guess the various stereotypes fit. Their logic and "facts" are getting pretty beat up by the more coherent posters.

2016 is gonna be fun to watch. These TP candidates are walking a fine line between what they really feel (and their base) versus what is the truth. Gonna be really fun to watch them say they want to take healthcare away from millions if they win the election.

Carrots.....I loved every true word in that article which was all of them.  I think I may have been for the downtrodden before I ever knew what the actual word meant.  Not ringing my own bell, but that was just the way it was.......and I sort of think the majority of people often start out just that way too............but things happen along the way to dull those sensations.  Mine lasted for a long time --- in fact, it is generally still there, but it is easy to look around and "spot" the ones who lost it early on.  They are the un-Christian, Christians.

Blue - love the pics. Those are such weird emoticons - cant figure out what they're supposed to mean?

Hope all are safe & warm - more snow here, and tomorrow am should be like a skating rink!

Blue, I let you know the truth behind the comments next week. My tea party sister is coming again for a few days. I will ask her opinion of Mandela and report back

I must have missed the Bashir piece you put in Blue and will have to go back  and find it.  Now and then things get hectic around here and I think......I'll go back as soon as I 'finish' whatever it is.......and I guess I forgot.  Maybe I'll have to figure out a reminder.

In the meantime....I did read this piece which again makes me wish I could stay away from Walmart, but in this little town you pretty much ( unless your pretty well off ) have to go where you can get the deals.  The thing that is disconcerting is that some of the deals cost less because they are sub-standard, seconds, or a knock-off. 

That said, and I'm honest about it.....some of the knock-offs are not bad at all.  There is a Keebler knock-off ( hubby nibbles on one cookie a day so she can take a med early ) that is pretty close.  So from a bit over $3.00 a package to $1.88.  The grocery store ( Scnucks ) has a knock-off as well, but it is a bit more than the Walmart one.  hope this shows up .http://i0.wp.com/quietmike.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/walmart_sizebubbles.gif

comparisons in this are out of sight.....if was able to capture the right link.
