The only news is that, except for the necessities of feeding myself, I’m staying down.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
3:22 I think I'll sit for a spell until someone comes to knock me off the bench.
3:35 I'm not too sppedy but can I rest here a while?
3:31 I'm going to join you…a thorn between two roses.
I don't know about a thorn, but I had the seat reinforced because I am no light weight!
Sure!
Leave lunch on the seat.
Puzzle — 3:22 I think I'll sit for a spell until someone comes to knock me off the bench.
Cartoon — "To the chagrin of certain Republicans who want to own more that one." They don't let that stop them. They just mind their "family values", take a mistress, step down from their political position and then win another! So much for the oft proffered mea culpa.
Well I am sure glad that you and your doctor are in sync. My doctor told me 6 weeks until the cough was done which is really annoying. I used my asthma ventolin inhaler to get me through. About 2 days into the 3rd week, the heavy head cold part was done but the coughing was horrid and very tiring. I am at the 6 week mark tomorrow and still have a cough but mostly when I eat. So you should start to feel better (half human) by the end of the week (making allowances for your COPD). Keep up the good work looking after you!
Not sure if you go back to check on "Replies" from yesterday, so I'm going to thank you here for your links to the "Bro Cat"and Aurora Borealis photos yesterday.
I particularly got a kick out of the Bro Cat. And seeing an Aurora Borealis is on my Bucket List. Being in KCMO I'll have to head "Up North" at an opportune time. I may look in to seeing if sun flares have a "schedule". It seems for the last one a couple of days ago they knew it was going to happen. But maybe they only know a couple days ahead. Do they have a "season" does anyone know?
I usually go back and look but I haven't yet today.
As to the Aurora Borealis, I have seen them all through the year however, they are much more vivid in the winter. I think that has something to do with the stark white snow and some reflection. It also has to do with the location from which you view them. In the city, it's impossible. But go out in rural areas and the view is much better.
Nameless, I did a Bing search for aurora borealis predictions and came up with v=several sites which predict best viewing times and sites. I didn't realize they could be predicted until last week. It wasn't visible where I live because of the clouds. Otherwise, it would have been perfect.
Don't you just love the inter-webs?
Thanks for the update.
Is this law why the GOP speaks of taking all laws/regulations back to those of the founding fathers?
4:30 average still 5:21 Nothing edible but a nice place to rest in the sun.
Cartoon – They want to own more than one (all, actually) in the sense of telling them what to do. They don't want to "own" women in the sense of having a legal obligation to provide for them. That is probably why they allowed this to pass.
It takes a while to get over that coughing! Stay down and heal that breathing thing in your chest!
Since discretion is ALWAYS the better part of valor, glad to hear your "staying down" and putting your health first.
As you all probably know, Ted Cruz is set to announce tomorrow that he's going to be the very first Repubican to climb into the soon-to-be chockablock full "GOP Clown Car". Given how brazen this modern-day Joe McCarthy has been, I don't find it the least bit surprising. I'm just hoping he reads "Cat in the Hat" … it's my favorite.
BUT for true trivia buffs about "Clown Cars" and their contents, I was utterly amazed that "Car and Driver" magazine has a very scientific (read B-O-R-I-N-G) article about the physics of actually calculating how many Clowns you can actually STUFF into a car:

Disturbed Man Tries to Get Into White House
BY ANDY BOROWITZ
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) – A disturbed Canadian man wants to try to get into the White House, according to reports.
The man, who was born in Calgary before drifting to Texas, has been spotted in Washington, D.C. in recent years exhibiting erratic behavior, sources said.
In 2013, he gained entry to the United States Senate and was heard quoting incoherently from a children’s book before he was finally subdued.
More recently, he was heard ranting about a plan to dismantle large components of the federal government, such as the Internal Revenue Service and the nation’s health-care program.
Despite a record of such bizarre episodes and unhinged utterances, observers expressed little concern about his plans to get into the White House, calling them “delusional.”

Don't forget, Ted Cruz still owes the taxpayers 24 billion dollars for the last government shut-down.
MoveOn PETITION: RECALL TED CRUZ, IMMEDIATELY!

Great minds fall in the same ditch.
But he forgot to reserve TedCruz.com! Just saw this, haven't read it yet, so I don't know who does have it.

You get a star for good behavior then, keep staying down until you get well.

That virus sounds utterly HORRID TC and Lynn – poor things!
The only doctor who has ever helped me to better health (Dr Phil Hammond [God bless him] on a tv programme) pointed out that to avoid catching bugs, we should never touch our eyes, nose or mouth unless we have just washed our hands.
I had just realised that I was (then) catching a horrible virus every couple of weeks after I had been to the supermarket, and was just realising that we rub our eyes, or some part of the face without ever realising we are doing it – so I had to train myself to stop. That saved me getting a good half a dozen nasty viruses a year to add to my everyday illnesses, so I was very grateful. I do hope this might help you in the future, you'll have to make do with my prayers for a good recovery for now!
Erratum – I should have put 'to avoid catching MOST bugs'…. sorry!
Thanks all.
