Republican Congressional Candidate In Montana Assaulted A Reporter
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Another thug running for office who needs to be kept from being elected.
The Republican Congressional Candidate In Montana Assaulted A Reporter. He body slammed him, knocking him to the floor, breaking his glasses.
This is assault and battery.
-
the crime of threatening a person together with the act of making physical contact with them.
In Montana it is a misdemeanor to body slam someone to the ground. Therefore, Montana Republican Greg Gianforte has committed a misdemeanor the day before the election. He should be arrested and jailed.
Please Montana, do not allow this man to gain a seat in Congress.

Prices just keep going up
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Darned shame our income doesn’t. And if #Twitler and his cronies get their way, we’ll be getting a lot less to live on.
With less to live on, we might have qualified for food stamps to survive, but #45 and the Repugnantcans are killing them too, along with our Medicare, Medicaid, and anything else that might keep us from becoming another pair of homeless people at the mercy of the streets.
It would be nice if I could go get a job and supplement our income but then The Curmudgeon would be left alone for 8 hours a day and he can’t be.
Online job you say? Oh sure, most of them are scams and I have neither the time nor the energy to sort through them to find a real one.
Why not do your writing? I would if I could manage to think straight and have him leave me alone for more than a minute at a time. The man never shuts his mouth. Who can concentrate?

Freedom of the press!

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson just held a press conference in Saudi Arabia but failed to alert or invite any members of the American press. This is not the first time.
If #Twitler thought he and the Repugnantcans were under a microscope before… Guess what?!
They are now the ants under the magnifying glass and it’s gonna get hot!
You see, not only did that move inflame the American Press, but it got a lot of us freelance writers and bloggers up in arms too.
Hey #45, Buckle up Buttercup we’re in this for the long haul.
Just for general information…

I was going to test out my new weed wacker…
It rained.
Yep, such is my life.

Wow, that was quick!

I ordered a new weed wacker the day mine died (the 17th) because I was in no shape to go shopping for one at a store. My back is a mess these days.
My new 10 amp electric weed wacker arrived yesterday (the 19th). The Curmudgeon helped me put it together…he held it while I put the parts on it.
I’ll test drive it later today providing it stays rain free.

So sad today
Posted by doggonedmysteries
All my writer friends are in Pittsburgh enjoying the Pennwriters conference. I have been unable to attend a conference for a few years now and I truly miss it.
Pennwriters conference was where I could mingle with other writers, attend workshops, and have a wonderful time being with my writing family.
Hell, I even miss the early morning wake up calls complements of Dave, who always took such joy in my “Idon’tdomorningshandmethatcoffee” misery.
I miss the late night conversations in the bar until it closed then in the lobby until we were chased to our rooms.
I miss handing out chocolate to everyone.
BASKETS! I miss donating them and winning them. LOL! They were my fun thing.

Dang it!

Five minutes into clearing the tall grasses and weeds on the pond bump in the yard and my battery powered weed wacker went dead. Completely, totally DEAD. I switched batteries and it was still dead.
I ordered a corded one that will arrive on Friday. No more batteries dying on me and no heavy gas trimmer to lug around.
Now if only my aching back and the weather will cooperate I should have everything trimmed by Sunday for sure. And it will look like this:

I managed to plant the petunias in the rocking chair pot.

Hardware…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Lucy has completely recovered from her ordeal with the kitchen drawer.
I had to order new hardware because none of the big box stores had what I needed. The handles had to measure 3.5 inches from screw to screw. They had everything but. We settled on this. We needed 30.

Time to buy new hardware for the kitchen cabinets…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I had Lucy out for a bit, came in, sent her ahead of me while I got garbage together on the back porch.
A loud crashing, skittering, and banging came from the kitchen.
I ran to the half door in time to see Lucy ducking and crashing into things while dragging a kitchen drawer along attached to her collar by the drawer pull.
I have ALWAYS hated these pulls.
The edges stick out, are sharp, and catch on everything!
Hate them.
Going to replace them with something like this:

On this Mother’s day
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I ask you to forgive me for not being able to have you here with us for the last few summers you were alive. Believe me when I say we really did miss having you here.
Problem was, things got awful hectic, what with The Curmudgeon’s health getting worse and his mother taking a lot of my time and energy.
And every time you visited you landed in the hospital because it’s PA and, well, …allergies. I didn’t have the energy to deal with it on top of all the rest.
I stressed out so badly the last time you were here and landed in the hospital, that someone dear to both of us suggested to me that for my health and sanity I needed to say no.
But I kept calling you, I did…no one would let me talk to you.
I love you Mom. 7/31/1915-1/1/2007
