Words without action are pointless. Occupy Wall Street? How about Unoccupy Wall Street. You want to take money out of politics? Take your money out of the banks, out of the stock market. Remove it entirely from the entities that speculate with your funds. Some guy with a sign in a park has no effect; removing your money from the market sends a clear message to the very entities you protest

Editing original post as I acquire additional information No, I'm not talking about the product. I'm sure it's a fine product (I have in fact previously used Hill's prescription products for other animals in my household). My complaint has to do with their business model which requires their prescription food dispensing partners carry no other brands of prescription pet food or they pay higher

I try to book some home PC time every weekend because clicking links on tweets on the BB does not always render a page that's mobile device friendly. This weekend I'm catching up on links from Rachel Maddow's blog. And once again my fellow liberals just make me cringe almost as much as the right wing does.TRMS highlights (as wrong) the politician that wants to make it so that the clothing

Apparently he hasn't abandoned his fantasy of leaving Shady Pines, he was just waiting for me to leave town. We are going on vacation. We're going to visit my mom, whom I have not seen in seven years, and the three of us are driving from her place north of Phoenix to Vegas. We are going to have fun. Lots of fun.

So my aunt & uncle from California call me Monday to tell me that my father has informed them that his younger brother in Colorado is coming to take him to Denver where Dad, younger brother, younger brother's wife, and their crack-baby granddaughter are all going to live together, happily ever after.

Before we move on to our day-before elections coverage, let me just say that Dad's settling in nicely at what we lovingly refer to as Shady Pines, but what I really came here today for was to get some of this election poison out of my system.Get out and vote.

Where did April go? We put Nephew on a plane to Air Force Basic Training on March 30th and spent the month waiting for letters (we got 2, one of which was a form letter). I have to admit the letter he wrote was impressive. It was a page and a half long, had no mis-spellings, remembered both our names, and the names of all the animals. He sounded great and it looks like we found a place where he

How did I succumb to March Madness this year? I've never been a basketball fan. I don't think it's the game that I have no interest in, I'm pretty sure it's professional basketball players. The ones I have the most exposure to are the ones in my birth town and the ones that get the press there are just not nice people off the court. There is nothing about them that I think should inspire the sort

Well, Barleycorn's has become the new favorite. I go there any chance I get and have even taken visitors from out of town there.The three cheese tomato soup is still my favorite, but the chicken noodle is pretty darn good too. I've managed to go beyond the Chipotle Chicken Wrap to try the Jalapeno Chorizo, the Cajun Chicken and the Club Sandwich. Hopefully it does well enough that I will

We've got a new restaurant in Wamego, Barleycorn's Downtown Bar & Deli. I've eaten there twice now and the food is really good. The first visit I tried the soup of the day, three-cheese tomato. It was awesome soup. You could really taste the cheeses and I'm sure it was made with milk, it had such a rich taste. Paired with a Chipotle Chicken Wrap it made the perfect meal.Today the sides offerings

AVG sux seriously. What good is an anti-virus that identifies a threat but does nothing about it? No good, that's what I say.Seems I can only go a few years with an anti-virus product before I have to switch to something else due to it not performing as advertised.

We are safe and sound back in the good old U.S. of A. I have to comment about how well the traveling part of the trip went. I love vacationing in far-off destinations but I hate the physical act of traveling. I hate lugging luggage. I dislike plane travel (that must be a control thing) and I wasn’t especially fond of the public transportation (but was, frankly, glad not to be driving in Amsterdam

Our last day in Paris finds us on the Metro again.This time our destination is the Montmartre area.But we almost think we’ve taken a wrong turn when we see this Metro stop.I think we’ve walked quite enough on this vacation so when I see transportation to the top of the hill, I can’t get to the ticket window fast enough.At the top of the hill is the oldest church in Paris, Sacre Coeur.

Today was a misty day in Paris. A day fit for ducks… …and tourists who weren’t letting a little water stop them from enjoying the sights and sounds of Paris.We decided to walk from our hotel to the Louvre for some indoor sight-seeing. From the Tuileries looking back towards the Place de la Concorde I noticed an obelisk that was just screaming to be pinched. Upon our arrival at the museum, I

We take the hotel shuttle to Schipol Airport to switch to the Intercity train to Amsterdam Central to finally catch the Thalys high speed train to Paris.

Today was a lazy day. We slept in late after our day -two marathon walkabout. Our lovely hotel clerk highly recommended we go to Haarlem, an area she described as a smaller, less crowded version of Amsterdam city, filled with trendy shops and restaurants. We could catch the city bus from across the highway that fronts the hotel and be there in minutes. I could get used to this public transpo

We're doing this on public transportation so we start with the hotel shuttle to the airport where we can catch a train to Amsterdam Central Station.

I was lamenting the lack of protest songs in light of how sucky things are lately. I remember growing up with them all around me in the twilight of the Vietnam era, but never hear any about current events. The music galvanized a generation and I'm sure it could do it again.Then again, in the personal music player era that may not be possible. We perambulate through our lives to our own personal

It's now been almost two months that I've avoided purchasing cigarettes in the city of Manhattan, Kansas and aside from the fact that the product is inherently dangerous to one's health, it's been relatively harmless to me.It was just a matter of shopping at the market in Wamego rather than the market in Manhattan. I know I can't prevent the Federal tax that trickles down to MHK, but no more

I lunched at Bob's today. As I ate I was eavesdropping on the old men at the table next to me. Of course the topic was the impending smoking ban (...vaguely reminiscent of the Third Reich's policies). One of them pointed out the hypocrisy of banning a product, any product, yet permitting the sale of the banned product. Oh yeah, wouldn't want to pass up all that sales tax money.So here's how

...or How do I love my chimney sweep? Let me count the ways.So the first appointment I had to get the wood stoves inspected and cleaned netted me two guys, three vacuums, a couple of ladders, and a ton of frustration. The stove on the main level has a stovepipe that rises straight up from the top of the stove through the cathedral ceiling and then out the roof. The pipe sections are maybe four

Sort of an endangered species in these parts. Well, maybe not. That implies they were there to begin with and are slowly disappearing which is clearly not the case.The ballot I voted on this past election was really, really sad if you look at it from a balance point of view. In so many local offices, the elephant candidates ran unopposed. There were no donkeys to run against them? Is that a

You bet your ass I am. How can Kansans vote the way they vote? What can they possibly be thinking?I realize that people have a tendency to surround themselves with people like themselves, but really. What the people surrounding me have said and what actually went down at the polls has me scratching my head. Did the people I spoke with say one thing yet do another? Did the people I spoke with pull

So I'm having my gall bladder removed next week. I'm not scared. Maybe I should be, but I've researched it to death on the internet and the doctor answered all of my questions and gave me all the reasons why I'm not a candidate for other options that might be taken.Maybe I should be scared. I've never had surgery. In spite of all the abuse I've heaped on my body over the years, there's never been

This is the 2004 Habitat for Humanity rose. I thought I lost it during the late freeze we had, but it came back just as beautiful as ever.

So this is how I spent my Sunday. I bought the plants almost two weeks ago and have been too sick to get them in the ground. Today I at least got the color pots done.

...I decided to poke around the Help section of Blogger. I, who prides herself on her grammar and punctuation skills, am apparently a repeat offender in the category of criminal overuse of the ellipsis:I can also spot an overuse of the ellipsis at 50 paces. There are two reasons to use an ellipsis (and neither one is because you don't want to write a transition): Use an ellipsis to indicate words

I just love sitting on my deck with the laptop and the dogs. I hardly ever spend any time on my desktop anymore. It's just become one great big network storage drive.Now that all the bitter cold weather is past, Kansas is starting to green up. I'm looking forward to seeing what plants recover and mourning the ones that don't. I think most of the roses are toast...

Well shit. I was trying to add a list of blogs I frequent to one of the pre-placed fields in my profile, like interests or whatever. Well, they don't really have a 'whatever' category but you get my drift, don't you? Not happening. I guess I don't spend enough time here to know that all entering data in profile fields gets you is links to other profiles that reference the same exact text. Go
