Yeah, big woo, nannyboz took a break from here. Took a break from other places too, after here. Even President Obama isn't enough to bring me back right now. Yep, his latest misspeak won't do it. Even the chained CPI issue won't do it. Two other issues will.
First, my 92 year old Mom was robbed. After an entire day it turned out ok. The cashier at her grocery store filched Mom's wallet when she turned her back. After a lot of pain on Mom's part and help from the store coupled with my husband showing up and their willingness to go through the surveillance tapes they caught the culprit. Can you imagine? Stealing from a 92 year old woman? She did, but was unsuccessful. Mom is still getting over the trauma and I gotta tell ya, if I ever see this woman, not that I know what she looks like, I would like to kick her.
And I just found out our former pastor, much beloved by us and many, has leukemia. It is CML. Lots of info there, not any really reassuring. The kicker is, his wife survived AML three years ago. Oh, yeah, he has prostate cancer too.
This is the real world where we live. Just like you. Not on the evening news, just here and real. And the news (?) don't care a whit. Nice, huh?
