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

I THOUGHT of that Nixon comment when Christie was holding forth...LOL.  Like the Casablanca comment, christie has really hit all the low points of reference in the zeitgeist...this one is gonna play for a l-o-n-g time.

I'm with alexandria on the swings in temp  - this is really getting disorienting, from 55 now back down just on the edge of freezing - too strange.

Morning Friends,

Our weather is really screwy too.  Freezing rain the last two days and now the high is in the upper 50's, then snow forecast just after that.  I wouldn't mind if it stayed in the 50's!!

Yikes!  The Saints got their hands spanked yesterday by the Seahawks.  Going to root for my guy on the 49'ers today! And then the rivalry match between my old team the Chargers and the Broncos!

I did see something posted on the internet this morning about impeaching Christie.  I didn't read the article.

Mr. Tim is going to try his best to make it home today.  He's coming up from the Miami area .... where the sun is shining and the temps are in the high 70's!

Need to get busy and get going ... have errands to run and dogs to walk before football comes on.

Hope everyone is having a really great Sunday,

Bren 

GO, PATRIOTS ':-)

Happy Birthday, YramAL - so good of bren to keep us on our celebratory toes ;-)

Going to see some extremes here as well.  Up to 60 today.  Knew it was coming yesterday.  Now we will cool off again, but till then we will have fairly nice days.  The sun is out bright today too, which is going to really encourage the feel of a wonderful Spring day ( if only it was ) but if nothing else hoping some of the 'mud' dries out.

Haven't heard much news today, but there will still be  a lot of "Christie" stuff.  He didn't dare tell the "whole" truth, but the 'incident' was so major that it is not going to go anywhere until good, solid, truthful, and in plain language answers for everything turn up.  I do believe the article which states the Repugs will forgive because that is their history, even when it hurts them.  How smart is that ????  There are just so many, many more who won't that what his own party does won't matter.

I read a piece where the TP'ers are looking  to dump Cantor.  Seems to be a lot of sinners in their group.  They are so warped.  Someone knows what they are doing, but as long as they keep going the direction they are !!!!!!!

Inquiring minds want to know:  Will her family end up having to pay the enormous hospital bill caused by the Texas hospital that insists on keeping a brain-dead woman on life-support to, supposedly, preserve the life of her fetus?

And, if that fetus does not develop into a fully functioning infant and child, will the hospital continue to bill the family for all the healthcare costs and hospitalizations that will inevitably ensue?

Oh my dog!  I was wondering the same thing carrots.  If the state wants her kept alive because of its antiabortion, ever, legislation isn't it obligated to pay the costs to the hospital for her care and that if her fetus.  It is a slippery slope if the state pays.  Might mean they might have to cover other people medical costs because of the precedent.  What do you think Alexandria?

c4c, kay, - and what about the wishes of the FAMILY of the woman who is not alive by medical standards?   She was probably too young to have a Living Will, or any kind of documentation of her own wishes, but that means her nearest relatives, get to speak for her.

Sometimes the only way that a law gets either amended or thrown out completely (because all possible circumstances have not be foreseen) is for such a tragic situation such as this to occur.  In the long run, let's hope that the family WILL be re-imbursed, if not by the Hospital, then by the state itself.

I've no doubt this was a law brought in by Repubs.  Why is it that Repubs and TPers are always crying about too much government, and yet they're always ready to bring in laws that directly affect people in a way that limits the individual's "freedom" to make her own decisions? 

Thank you for the birthday wishes.

I, for one, am not upset about the spanking the Seahawks gave the Saints yesterday. Go Hawks! And I'm rooting against the 49ers as well. Sorry, Bren!

Mary .. hope you're having a delightful day!  We can cheer on my cutie pie together!

Sunnyflowers ... you are so funny ... you always make me smile.  The Pats won last night!

hugs,

Suzie, I think the baby is 14 weeks along. Long way to go until birth. 

"Is Mama going to be ok?"

Mama cat DID survive!

Yorkie - love that pic.  Is that a recent news story?  Beautiful silver tabby.

Good point Cfc. sounds like they should go with the parents wishes. It's very sad.
