I’m in a hurry to prepare for my Oncologist appointment to review my Cat Scan.  Tomorrow, please expect no more than a Personal Update, because I have wheelchair repair coming. This is my only article today.

Today’s took me 3:27 (average 5:03).  To do it, click here.  How did you do?

Short Take:

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Iceland Mourns Loss Of Glacier Destroyed By Climate Change

 

Someone needs to shove a glacier up the butt of every climate change denying Republican politician and staffer, while we still can. Sadly, we’ll run out of glaciers long before we run out of Republicans. RESIST!!

  1. 5:03 I don’t think your freezer is big enough for them.

    Hope you will stop by and update with results in a comment. We are all holding our breath.

    Cartoon – Yup. That’s what he is. Or she. I can’t be sure.

    YT – I think there are more Saguaro cacti than glaciers. Perhaps we can use thme instead.

  2. Cartoon: They are, and pretty dam happy about it too! 
    MSNBC: Sad, sad, sad all the way around…
    Best to you at your med appointment, and like Joanne mentioned, drop a little line and let us 
    know how it went. Then go rest!! Take good care, and Thanks, Tom.

  3. Just got home.  Exhausted.  Probably nothing.  Follow up Cat Scan in 3 mo.  ZZZZZZZZ 19

  4. ‘Toon:  Damned Kochsucker!
    Y/T: Going back to Newt the Gingrich, who “knew” there was no such thing as acid rain, the GOP has been in the thrall of the fossil fuel industry, or even earlier, but you probably knew that.  It is imperative that the SOBs loose the next elections, on ALL fronts.  We are probably long last the “tipping point,” has been my spin on global warming, but hope rises nonetheless.  After he looses the presidency, Dumpy needs to be indicted, his cabinet henchmen, as well, and all, after convictions, need to be imprisoned on an atoll in the Pacific, as the sea level rises.  No videos, no communication, just an occasional food drop….
     

  5. Cartoon: Yeap….They are Nasty bugs.
    MSNBC: Sad news indeed Really too bad leaders here and all across the world are ignoring these signs.
    Happy to hear that your visit wasn’t a negative one. Pray that you continue in a positive mode and the next Cat Scan will turn out okay.
    Take care. Enjoy the rest of your day.

  6. Puzzle — 4:30 Alas, I am no longer capable of saving the horsies from the rapacious maw of the Puddy Tat . . . unless I do the 6 piece classic at 11 seconds.

    MSNBC — In Canada, Maxime Bernier, leader of the federal People’s Party, has declared climate change and global warming a hoax.  Not only that but he is anti immigration and I would argue that he is racist which usually goes hand in hand with being anti immigrant.  During the last leadership race for the Conservative Party, he ran and lost so he took his toys and founded the People’s Party where he thought he could spread his slime and stink up the country.  Canada has its own Republicans unfortunately.  PM Trudeau declared a climate crisis earlier this year and then hypocritically backed the trans mountain pipeline.  When is the human race going to get this straight?  There is a climate change/global warming crisis and the evidence is seen in Iceland with the disappearance of Okjokull, in the calving of giant chunks of ice from Arctic and Antarctic glaciers, warming sea water and currents and sea level rise.

    Cartoon — So true.  The truth hurts doesn’t it!

    I hope all goes well today and tomorrow!

  7. 2:46 Glad I saved those two trusty horsies from you, TomCat. Just look at those huge pink noses…

    Cartoon: The times when this was true for Teapartiers only are long over. Now all Republicans are Tea partiers.

    MSNBC: Icelanders say goodbye to Okjokull, the people of Tuvalu have to welcome it in its new form when it sloshes around their ankles in their houses. And neither is to blame for it happening. And in both cases, their rich neighbours, America and Australia, fail to take any responsibility.

    Please let us know what your oncologist came up with, TomCat. You’re in my thoughts.

  8. Quick Medical Update

    I’m feeling fine, but the wound continues to weep through the Mepilex and THREE gauze pads.

    It really looks good, and is not RHST.  In fact I’ve entered the “Itchy Stage” of wound healing – which is a good sign.

    But it’s Day 5 & I was concerned if continued bleeding is typical.  So I got an appointment w/ the Wound Care Clinic tomorrow morning. 

    (I LOVE their Nurse Practitioner – she’s phenomenal!)

    • Interesting.  From what little I know of abcesses, and other things that drain (I have pretibial myxedema myself), I’m guessing that, if all other indicators are good, the weeping is good too.  But not being a medical professional, I am not claiming that.  It’s merely a guess.` Do let us know.

    • Keep getting better, good friend 16

  9. Thanks and Hurry Hugs to all! 26

  10. Tells you a lot about the current state of affairs when people mourn the passing of glacier.

    That cartoon, I fear, was really mean – to cockroaches, that is. You can’t use Raid or D-con for a month now. wink
