Observations


Joe on Good Morning Joe, MSNBC, was discussing with his colleagues, how the sniping at Palin from top members of McCain’s campaign team was unfair and would have a backlash. She is not going away, they all intoned. She has charm, that "it" factor. You betcha. She will succeed. Etc. What a shame. She so richly deserves to fade into obscurity.

How come no one chats on MyBloggers? I don’t particularly like chatting although I did it at one time. It was unfulfilling. The nicest thing about blogging is that it allows in-depth interaction as contrasted to the constant snippets and one-liners in chat rooms, the endless lols and brbs and welcomes and byes. All time-consuming nothings. But some people thrive on it. It’s just not for me.

I have had no contact with my sis, and she has kept her distance. It is heartbreaking. A friend told me that when I had the urge to reach out, I should recite “1-800-PAIN”.

The morning after the election I ran into my buddy, Curt, who walks his spaniel, Buster, and who gave me a tomato plant that I eventually killed. Curt had said he was afraid Obama was going to take away his guns. When I saw him, I said, “Quick run into the house and hide your guns Obama’s coming!”

He answered, “I understand they are digging up the rose garden and planting watermelons.”

Me: “What a great Idea! I love watermelons! Obama can give a melon to every member of Congress who comes to see him. Passing legislation will be a snap.” Then he said Obama was filling in the swimming pool and replacing it with a basketball court. “Pure Genius,” I said. “You could use a little exercise too.” Then I said, “They’re changing the national anthem to “Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground.” We went on like that. If you must disagree with friends, humor goes a long way to making it okay. As for Buster, he pees like a girl dog, something to do with a condition he had. I check him out from time to time and tell Curt I’m waiting for Buster to lift a leg.

Ed and I have decided on a financial plan to help us out during this meltdown. It is a good move and we will survive. But it makes me think about “end of life” issues that I would just as soon never consider, the old head–in-the-sand strategy that has served me so well till now. (Insert hysterical laughter here.)

My kitties want to know how to reach Hobbes.

Hobbes is "Hobbie" on MyBloggers. He is up and "at-em" today and wants me to get off the computer.

For your friends information, there is already a basketball court at the White House, also a private play area for the little girls. I guess your kitties will have to learn to blog if they are going to contact Hobbes. As for the financial crisis, it hits all of us in the solar plexus but we can change our plans until better times come along.
