And the upbeat news for today is the blue bird babies have hatched. The daddy has been taking the diaper-bags out today. "The white things your bluebirds are carrying out of their nest box are “fecal sacs.” Yup ... As the name implies, fecal sacs are little packages of baby bird poop. To get rid of the fecal sacs of babies, the parents carry them away. Robins and bluebirds fly 20-50 yards away, and drop the sacs in flight." More then you wanted to know just before dinner?? lol
Sorry...

Wonder why there are so many conservative talk radio shows, and it's really difficult to find a progressive one? Sponsors go where the audience is, and I would think there would be just as big an audience for progressives as there is for conservatives but evidently not. Joyce we really are in the minority. We are those who prefer facts over rant and raving. I have listened to Conservative talk shows and they seem to want to whip the country into a frenzy for some imagined revenge. Hmm When has that been done before? Did you say Munich 1938? The Nazis were never deterred by facts complex or otherwise!

Late getting here today as my DGS graduated from elementary school this morning. This fall he'll be a sixth grader in middle school. How can that possibly be?! It was a really nice ceremony, but long. Started at 8:00 and wasn't over until almost 10:30, but you could tell the teachers and students had put a lot of effort into the entire program.
So I have heard no news whatsoever today. Somebody please tell me that there was some good news, and I missed it!

amyrs, you're right that's not good news at all. I seriously doubt the JA could pass a civics test. Clearly he either knows nothing about or just chooses to ignore the Constitution. As for knowing English, I wonder if they need to know it "bigly" and if that would include spelling words like "hamburder"? There already is a test you have to pass to become a naturalized citizen.

Joyce, those Grandkids grow up way too fast. I have 1 that just completed her first year of college, 1 that will graduate HS in a couple weeks, a sophomore in HS, a 3rd grader & a 5 th grader. I'm so happy it worked out that you could move to the same city they live in, so you can enjoy & watch them grow up. It just happens so quickly!
No good news at all today. Same old JA complaining about troubles of his own making.
We are expecting 3 inches of snow...yes, snow!....(SCREAMING, here!)...DH & I spent the afternoon putting all the potted plants in the garage, covering the others in the ground with blankets & plastic. It's suppose to be freezing for the next 4 days, besides the snow. Darn, Mother Nature pulled a fast one. It was suppose to be fine, with no freezing anymore. Guess, she lies like JA.! :-(:-( UGH!
Anyway, since I'm officially cranky, I will go sit in the corner, so I don't spread my crabby around. LOL

This gave me a chuckle today, because even though the Republican party seems to be hell bent on keeping women "in their place" ladies we've come a long way since "my day" which I think was several of your days too. At DGS's elementary graduation this morning, the kids all had posters about what they want to be some day. The boys, as you might expect pretty much all had a sports theme going. Look for lots of professional baseball players, a pro-golfer, etc. from this group. The girls, however, chose things like astronaut, scientist, doctor, pharmacist, etc. That really made me smile. When I was that age, I don't think I even knew that girls could be anything other than a housewife, teacher, or a nurse. I was happy to see that these girls know they have a lot of options, and they are not going to be shy about going after them. Yay for girls! (Of course when DGS becomes a rich professional baseball player, I'll be there bragging about it.)

Why is that dangerous lunatic still in the White House?
Joyce, I've been called cynical more times than I can count. One day someone told me they didn't believe I was cynical. They believed I was being realistic.
That made me feel better. So, keep it real, Sistah!
I love the meme! Hoping it's not the fate of an entire country. Ok, that does sound cynical. Lol. I'll take it over reality, please. Please!

This situation about Iran is really becoming concerning. I would not at all put it past this JA to get us into another war, and Bolton and Pompeo are pushing in that direction. He totally ignores Congress now, so I don't think he would bother to even run it by them before launching an attack. He has absolutely got to go! If he does start a war, then I think Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Jared should be leading the charge into battle. If other people's children can be sacrificed for his ego, then why not his own?
