Okay so Princess Xena, my geriatric Princess and wonder....not only did she remember the tree....she loves it and daily has been curled up under it...and so happy...I think today I will keep her company, I am off...so I will make pancakes, do my Ritual New Year House Cleaning and hang out with critters and 6-6, and I will finally get to visit blogs that I have missed and lounge at Youtube and watch a WHOLE day of NO RESERVATIONS.....I had been saving some News Tidbits ( see down below) but really it is an update on a Variety of Disasters and Debacles....So to make up for that I have posted a really sweet Cat Video below - it has them "talking"....and then also I was looking for GoodBye Videos to the Devote to the Criminal Decider, and instead I ended up finding this Honey of a video by Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham., "The Chain" and it got me thinking that Bush- the Man that Can break ANYTHING, did not break us, and I think it has alot to do with the Internet and the Blogs....it was a chain, a way for all of us to stay connected, the man that can not even do email NEVER counted on a bunch of wonks and geeks and thinkers to keep people together....and he did indeed sorely UnderEstimate us......Have a good Saturday......stay warm and take care....

Happy New Year...and yeah- this song...me2....and now it kind of has a different meaning then when we all were in college drinking coolers of cocktails and drooling over Lindsay Buckingham ( sorry but we were....)....I was going to post this amazing Goodbye song that he played for Stevie Nicks two years ago- but it just made me cry....
the end of the Bush Regime is in site....if it was up to me- I would gladly drive down now and load up that Uhaul and send them on the road...
Hi E ~ You make an excellent point-- while the media somehow managed to keep a straight face & delivered the news of the things that were happening under the Bush regime, while ignoring the facts- either by choice (report what was fabricated)- the White House would leak WMD info the the media, then turn around & quote the media, in other cases (Donahue comes to mind), the network fired any journalist who dared to do investigative work-- in the post 9-11 patriotic frenzy- the president declared you were with us or against us. Questioning, probing, validating was prohibited. People were fired for wanting to dig for the truth.
So the "internets" became a lifeline.... people could express doubts, frustration, present facts & evidence. I thought for sure the Downing Street Memo, which was damning evidence the invasion of Iraq was a pre meditated act of aggression ~ never did see the light of day in MSM.
Blogging gives us the full spectrum.... hard hitting expose of info to humor & satire. Frankly, I needed it all.
Thank you for being a link in the chain & keeping it together!
Not a good beginning for the New YEar. Israel invading the Palestinian Prison they have created and maintained for 60 years. Israel broke the cease fire on November 4 while no one was paying attention. Hamas responds with rocket attacks. Israel now bombing with F-16 jets and a ground invasion. Killing women and children. Also sealing off Gaza with even more restrictions, no Red Cross, no Red Crescent, no medical supplies, no food, Western media blaming Hamas which is the legitimate elected government of Gaza.
It is my belief that Israel has long acted like a battered child. The Nazis were the abusers of Jews with the Holocaust, now Israel acts the way people too often act who were abused; they become abusers themselves and are patterning their behavior on the Nazis.
I taught in an orthodox Jewish school in L.A. for a few days. The inner walls of the school were painted with murals of uniformed armed Israeli soldiers. THis is a K-12 school, with little children passing those murals every day. I never see these kinds of murals ever in public schools. Judaism has an arrogant, dangerous, militant component that is unhealthy,
THis incursion will not work. Will not "teach Hamas a lesson." It will only inflame the Middle East. And it is our tax dollars at work, $7 million a day to Israel.
And where is Obama? No comment from Obama.
hey..and no commentary about anyone being sick..good news!! Happy New Year girlie. I managed (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!) NOT to get sick even though one kid, then the next 'somewhat' and dh something 'viral coughy like' germed, were hacking, coughing, sneezing etc all around from before the holidays. Hoorah..we're done. Now one more day and it's off to school and back into blogo-immersion. Pardon my absence but there's only so much you can do..
meanwhile did get some big things accomplished (know you noticed, thx for the compliments), managed a post or two (no time to comment on comments though) but there's just a lot to do.
My oldest will turn 11 on Tuesday, and if only he wasn't allergic to eggs (among others) we could've had kingcake for his b'day (three kings day). Mine will be the 14th (ahem) and aside from the usual 'note to self-gotta do this' that comes with my b'day, not new year's resolutaions, I seriously have to make some changes..will post more about that this month.
Glad you and 6-6 are out of the ilness woods and your cat Princess..wow..what a nice 'ALF' dinner she'd make!! (my son discovered reruns of 'ALF')
Happy New Year sweetpea.."we shall overcome" and we certainly did..now onto the next thing..
hugs
Ingrid

So good to hear that you are on the mend at your house- and with Birthdays Coming- Yours and the 11 year old king...wonderful....time for cake ( even without eggs...) Your Yard is Amazing...can not wait to see it as it developed and created....You have been a busy mama....and we all need breaks from Blogging....and to take a deep breath...and yeah, sometimes to nestle with family...especially over holidays....
Newsguy::::
wow.....so good to see you....and sadly your synopsis of the situation is dead on...this whole thing is worrisome and a mess....that school and the mural you describe is very worrisome- and you are right- that ART is merely a propaganda tool...scary....( no schools should have that- of course this is the same reason I would not want that in any school...)
Obama's silence....It puzzles me- but also something about it says that he does not agree with Bush ? I don't know what to make of it....I wish he would make a statement...I know that he has been talking to Condi....and Bush has said little, but I really think that he gave his blessings and encouragement on his "farewell" tour...I heard today that Isreal is "setting Up Hamas Camps to detain and interrogate...." my first thought was _ WOW...wonder WHERE they got that idea ???? Bush and his Doctrine of Pre-Emptive War and Gitmo- such a legacy was bound to find more fans....
Anyways good to see you....and now we see What happens next...
Fran:::
yeah....a Lifeline...that sadly we all needed....and still do...thank you for also being alink in the chain...and yes we will need it for the years to come.....we have a long road to go...Keep Blogging it woman...
