Yesterday was a busy one, but I visited most of the blogs on our list. I hope to do so again today. I do, however have errands to run, including getting another new mouse. If this one doesn’t work, I’ll borrow Moose from Brother Tim and plug his tail into a USB port. 🙂
It’s a sparse day, because Obama’s Nobel Prize has dominated the news cycle.

Here’s a cartoon:
Enjoy the weekend. What’s up?
After getting my articles up yesterday, I went back to bed and slept in. I must have been really tired. Nonetheless, I think I made it to most of the blogs on our list. Today I’ll be here, but have some cleaning to do and groceries to put away. Being able to shop online again is a real relief, because I can have my main shop each month delivered. Hauling a heavy grocery cart and an oxygen tank up stairs was really hurting me. I still expect to be able to make rounds today.

Here’s the latest GOP health care plan from Red State Update.
And here’s some more humor for you.
What are you up to today?
TGIF!!
I expect to be around most of the day, but I’m slowed down again. I don’t know what it is between TomCats and meeses, but my 2nd mouse in 5 weeks gave up the ghost. So I’m using that dang touchpad again. 🙁

Yesterday I caught up on visits, but I’ll fall behind again today. I’m helping at a therapy group, and afterwards, I have errands to run.

Happy hump day to all!
Yesterday I visited most blogs in my blog roll, and I expect to stay up to date today. In the news there are rumblings that the $US will soon be dropped as the world’s oil currency in favor of a basket of other currencies. China, Russia, Japan and the Arab countries on the Gulf are behind this move. I’ll cover this when I can access better analysis than I’ve found, but I am concerned. With oil prices no let in $US, the rest of the world will have far less incentive to hold our currency. This could have a profound effect on the standard of living in the US.

Have a great day. Talk about what you want in this thread.
Yesterday, to my great surprise, the Broncos actually came through. I had thought that the changes McDaniels made to the team were sheer insanity. However, now that they have a 4-0 record, inclucing a win over a quality team, I have to admit that maybe I was wrong.
I’ll be around most of the day and expect to catch up on comments and visits to other blogs.

OGIM!!! Have a great day, and feel free to speak your mind.
In the best laid plans of mice and men, I discovered that the backup software requires more space for the image file (made before writing it to DVD) than is available on my 2nd partition, so I’ll have to get a USB drive to use it, so instead of swapping disks all day as planned, I visited my whole blog roll. 🙂
That’s probably a good thing, since today is a holy day in the First Church of the Ellipsoid Orb, and I will be offline watching NFL games. I fully expect the Bronco’s winning streak to be severely threatened, since they are paying a quality team for the first time this year. Maybe they’ll surprise me, but I doubt it.

Here’s a new ad, confronting Boner Boehner’s bogus claim that he has met nobody who favors the public option.
Hat-Tip: Daily Kos
Perhaps he’s confused. There have been no family values scandals concerning him, because no matter how hard he tries to get into one, he has met nobody that favors the pubic option with him.
Here’s some humor.
Sound off, and have a wonderful Sunday.
Today I have some great personal news to report. I received a finding from the Social Security Administration yesterday. After over two years of fighting, my SSDI disability appeal finally reached a judge. He reviewed it and determined that my case is so obvious that he ruled in my favor without requiring a hearing. It will probably be a couple months before I actually see any money, and I’ll still be very poor, but the abject poverty in which I have lived for three years, the times I have had to stretch one pork chop into four days of meals, will finally come to an end. In addition, I will get Medicare and will be able to attend to some pressing medical issues I have neglected for years, because I lack the ability to pay for the care. As overjoyed as I feel over this news, I can’t help but feel for the many thousands of people in the same boat. The SSA’s policy to deny so many obviously valid claims and to take so long dragging their feet before resolving them (I first applied in 2007.) is both unconscionable and responsible for tremendous suffering. This policy has existed for a long, long time, but Bush and the GOP exacerbated the problem by stripping the SSA of the employees who review such cases. I guess the GOP hoped that we would die quickly, making our claims moot. Sorry! I lasted!!
I’ll be offline most of the day, I think. My computer has a restore feature that, in the event of a failure will restore my system to the state when I bought it. However, I’ve made many changes since then, all of which would be lost. That utility will also back my computer up to DVDs to restore it to its present state, and I’m going to run that procedure today. I will probably be sitting here swapping disks for several hours. Have a great day!!
