About Me

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.

In casa de calimary it's mashed avo, salt, and a splash of lemon. Simple. All you need.

Neighborhood guac. Avos fall off the tree onto the ground. Give a few of the strays a new home - mashed up in a nice big bowl with chips or even crackers!

If you really wanna go extra sinful - add a couple of tablespoons of mayo. Or not. Lawry's seasoning salt will help, too instead of plain ol' salt.

Poor dears. Are they being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st Century?

They'd rather stay back in the Bronze Age, I guess. Must seem a lot more comfortable there. So why then do they also think they need iPhones and GPS devices and microwave ovens and computers and stuff?

Happy Birthday Oh Canada!

Meh - typical republi-CON with a typical republi-CON God complex.

All their mouths do stuff like that. That's what makes 'em republi-CONS! That's how you can tell who they are. All of 'em have radioactive toxic waste coming out of their mouths. Every time they speak.

And then he sang "Amazing Grace".

Mighty nice photo essay, Drunken Irishman! Thank you! That took a lot of work. It's also nice to have reminders. A GREAT review!

I think history will be very kind to this man. He's accomplished so much - against so much obstruction and so many adversaries, and some of what he's accomplished has been utterly spectacular. He's even redefined the whole notion of "lame duck."

Sure makes me proud!

Welcome to DU, slumcamper!

Glad you're here! You made a pun! Ahh, the hoods. Worn with such amazing impressive wow-y "pride" - so proud and courageous and gutsy that they march around in public but still feel the need to keep their faces hidden. They're really not that much different than ISIS.

I'm so impressed. NOT!!!!

Well, why not. Hell, they've completely perverted the very meaning of the word "right."

Oh MAN - I love this idea!

Well, fair enough, I suppose. If you feel you simply can't do the job then you should resign.

I'd say the same thing to pharmacists who wish to practice medicine without a license when they refuse on their own personal grounds to do their job - of filling prescriptions for, say, contraceptives. That's part of the job. If you can't do the job because your own morality won't allow it, then maybe you need to change jobs.

Oh but yes! That's EXACTLY what I want. Four years of Sit Down and Shut Up.

Yeah, that sounds like just the thing there. Uh-huh.
