CHEERS AND JEERS starts in There's Moreville....(SWOOSH!)RIGHTNOW (GONG!!)
Disclaimer:This is an unofficial Cheers and Jeers and in no way has anything to do with the master, Bill in Portland Maine's brilliant series. Except of course, his chocolate lab, Molly just loves me and Michael is rather fond of me as well.
Puppy Pic of the day: Moooooooom! Rufus isn't wearing a bathing cap again!
Pootie Pic of the day: My poor lost boy Chase
ummmm, I had NO idea, does it work on trolls too?:
CHEERS to Bill in Portland Maine and Common Sense Mainer, Molly and Vegas! Molly and I had a love fest a week ago Saturday when I visited Bill and Michael--she is such a darling.
CHEERS to doctors who are beginning to try to understand how devastating and long lasting Lyme Disease can be. Insurance companies and many doctors still believe Lyme is a short term, easily cured disease. 29 year old Mandy Hughes has suffered from horrible symptoms for the past ten years. One doctor dismissed her as wanting attention because she is so attractive. Jeez--we have come so far since the days women were given laudanum to shut them up. Our own 42's daughter has had a horrible experience with Lyme.
JEERS just because to McFlipflopflipper--when WILL the media actually critique him? And for all the whining--poor thing--everyone is so mean to him. I still think Wes Clark was right.
Some things defy description...you must view/read/listen to this Photo Essay from Mother Jones, Aryan Outfitters Meet the Ku Klux Klan's seamstress of hate couture. Photos and text by Anthony Karen, Audio produced by Peter Meredith and Gary Moskowitz. Miss Ruth makes robes for the Klan to help her pay for her caring for her 40 year old quadriplegic daughter, who was injured in an accident ten years ago.
JEERS to McSame's Health Care Proposal. It all boils down to giving corporations the opportunity to drop insurance for their employees--oh wait...we all KNOW corporate America wouldn't do that to their employees...
CHEERS to Barak Obama...just cause.
JEERS to wild fires, earthquakes, almost hurricanes named Bertha, and all manners of natural disasters.
CHEERS to me for replacing the toilet all by myself! I have all kinds of redecoration projects--just need to get moving on them! I end up with more paint on myself than on the wall.
CHEERS to the bestest, prettiest, smartest and loviest dogs ever. I don't know how I would have gotten through the last few months without Maggie and Zanzibar.
and finally
CHEERS to all the irregulars, and those who are no longer able to play--we miss you and love you!
One more thing: Blessings on all who have contributed to the Net Roots project to send packages to our troops! There are another group of troops who are also in need--the war dogs. As hot as it is for people, imagine what it would be like to have on a fur coat in 110 degree temps! Please help Mikel over at Helping Udders. If you know of any handlers who would like cooling vests--please let her know. She also has a great site for dog toys and stuff!!! While you are at it, stop by War-Dogs to learn about the history of military dogs. Only 200 were brought back from Viet Nam. Handlers are still guilt ridden that they were forced to leave their dogs. As I understand it, handlers are now allowed to bring their dogs back with them.
So, what are you CHEERING and JEERING about today?
