That Icehouse “Electric Blue” video was a real time capsule, thanks for linking it Leon. I remember that song from hearing it on the radio. 1987 – that was peak 80’s soon to be destroyed by the Grunge Era.
BTW, the model is named Paris Jefferson, a Brit raised in Australia. She’s been in a lot of movies and shows including a turn as Athena in Xena: Warrior Princess.
And no, I did not know any of that until about 10 minutes ago. Ask me tomorrow and I may retain 80% of it, close to nil in a month.
Poor Ollie got absolutely lit into by Rowan yesterday. That scenario is common around here because Ollie is famous for writing checks with his mouth that his ass can’t cash (as the expression goes) but this one stood out because it was unprovoked and brutal.
I’ve learned that when you give them a chew treat you have to do it in the house where they can all retreat to different places to eat their treats without seeing the other dog eyeing their treat. Yesterday I was on the small enclosed porch reading a book and having a stogie. Paula got home and flipped three pig ears into the porch. That’s when shit happened. Rowan ate his first and attacked Ollie for the small remaining piece he had left. It was vicious, big chunks of hair on the floor and Ollie with a 3 x 2 cm superficial wound on his foreleg as a result.
Paula asked why I didn’t break them up and I reminded her of my finger that got chomped last year as a result of the same scenario. That’s why I never give them treats out there and after wiping blood up from the various surfaces that Ollie brushed up against I think she now understands that as well.
Watered the whole garden. Coffee break. Then chicken wrangling shall commence.
It’s kind of wonderful out there in the cool of the morning with the birds all singing.
A person who would do that isn’t far removed from one who’d place someone else’s baby in the bronze arms of a statue and then ignite the pyre underneath. His master is just leading him to the real goal by small degrees.
Peru? Well, South America does seem to be one of the hotspots for child kidnapping and trafficking, if the movie was anywhere on point. So no surprise that Mulvaney is headed there. Wonder what is next on his itinerary … Thailand? I suspect he’ll find the competition too difficult for him there. He’s altogether too ugly and unconvincing to be a lady-boy.
When I hear the smarmy radio announcer voice telling me that it’s time for THE SEAN HANNITY MORNING MINUTE I practically drive off the road with my haste to change the station to anything else.
I read the comments to those UKR articles as long as I can stand it. People seem to be equally divided between those who say it’s Putin’s war of aggression and if we don’t stop him in Ukraine he’ll march all over Europe and the more reality based individuals who wonder why we’re pouring our treasure into a corrupt country that instigated a lot of this with their actions leading up to the invasion.
I guess I don’t get why any of that matters. So what if Vlad takes over Ukraine? Nothing would actually change except there’d be a different little guy in a track suit pretending to be democratically elected.
Ukraine doesn’t stand a chance of dislodging the dug in Russian army even with all the arms we’re shipping over there. But the machine tells them to keep fighting and at some point it’ll end badly for them and NATO/USA
MJ, did you know that we are sending a shit ton, billions to PAY OFF UKRAINE’S DEBT? Did you know that Blackrock owns most of Ukraine’s debt?
Are you starting to get the obsession the politicians have with Ukraine?
Oh, and Ukraine is a sex trafficking haven.
————————————
I think we could do business with Russia. It would be the same. The money and sex slaves would still flow.
Actually, loss of access to sex slaves is possibly a big part of the reason we have to support Ukraine. Russia doesn’t let groomers adopt their children, and that’s a key feature of the CIA front company called the Ukrainian government.
Funny you mention Russian adoptions. Way back when I first started in Bangor I did a few charity cases on foreign kids who came to the US with their parents and who were hosted by a sponsoring organization.
1. Girl from Haiti with a complete clubfoot at age 8. She needed a talectomy to correct it
2. Infant girl from Guatemala with hip dysplasia who needed an open reduction and pelvic osteotomy
3. Boy from Russia with a clubfoot and cerebral palsy. Same deal with him, talectomy and multiple soft tissue releases to correct it.
#3 was being hosted by two gay guys from Maine who wanted to adopt. The treatment lasted a few months and needed a couple of operations with a lot of after care. The day I released him from treatment with a one year follow up the Russians said FU to the gay dads and brought him back to Russia.
I got years later follow up on the first two from the local church organizations that sponsored their stays which was gratifying to see. Both girls were doing well and had no relapse in their conditions. I never heard back about the third kid ever.

Wouldn’t we just be going back to Ukraine 2014? It was exactly the same.
——————–
2014 before or after the CIA- and US State Department- backed coup? The difference would be between which side would get the bribes and payoffs.
Not to mention war zones are great places for child sex trafficking. Lots of orphans and disrupted and displaced families and people going missing in the flood of refugees fleeing.
White and Christian supremacy and tolerating it is going to kill a few white women and white girls in Iowa before they can get the abortions to save their lives from incest, rape and husbands controlling their lives and keeping them pregnant. How do you feel about that ?
We’re going to have to set up an underground railroad of sorts to get women the care they need. This is going to kill poor women who can’t afford to seek out safe abortion elsewhere. Absolutely shameful and disgusting
We got lucky with limited fireworks around here because of all the rainy days around the 4th. Only a few diehards were out and the dogs took it in stride.
Those rosary pages from yesterday are bookmarked. I’ll print them out in due course. I should get a rosary, too. Seems the thing for me to do these days as I find my way back to God in a time of general demonic influence. But this weekend is another grocery run, so…first things first I guess…
My mom had a rosary audio cassette. She would pray along on road trips. My in-laws prayed the rosary twice a day. Mornings after coffee. Evenings before bed.
There are recordings of the rosary by various folks on yootoob now. You can recite it with Mother Angelica and the nuns if you want.
I’ve gotten pretty good at just doing it all in my head by visualizing the string of beads or the number pair for where I am in the overall prayer, like 3:7 for third decade, 7th Hail Mary. Helps pass the time shoveling snow or mowing grass.
I gotta get a pic of it, but a co-worker put a possum pic in a work poster. It’s on environmentally friendlier methods of cleaning. Was not expecting that.
went for a walk with Elliot, and someone was lighting off fireworks. The effect is similar to his shock collar, he stays very close on my left side (where the trainer taught him). I feel sorry for him, he’s not being punished, or negative reinforcement. He shakes too. Really scared.

‘mornin.
Gonna see how much I can get done outside in the morning before I have to get ready for work. Going to be in the 90s again today and tomorrow.
More coffee required.
Seriously feel like marching straight back to bed.

I was wide awake for some reason at 0300. Paula woke at 0330 (on purpose) to meet a friend for a 0500 run so I just got up and joined the awake crew.
Poor Ollie!
And I was sad to hear about Zeke last night. He had the best dog-dad ever, and a great life. Sorry for your loss Vmax, if you are around.
Watered the whole garden. Coffee break. Then chicken wrangling shall commence.
It’s kind of wonderful out there in the cool of the morning with the birds all singing.
big thunder today! elliot is attached to me
Tractor moved, birdies let out to enjoy a fresh patch of grass.
Oh no, I’m really sorry to hear about Zeke. Vman was an exceptional pet dad. Hugs to you, Vman.
I watched that Libs of TicToc video of the psycho who wanted a uterus just so he could kill a baby.
How broken must you be to even consider those thoughts?
We have so many totally broken people. It’s hard to imagine the country coming back from it.
A person who would do that isn’t far removed from one who’d place someone else’s baby in the bronze arms of a statue and then ignite the pyre underneath. His master is just leading him to the real goal by small degrees.
I think some of it is just posturing for the attention.
But there are a ton of people that are more than happy to guide you to the boxcars.
we need to get all of them into the cities.
Build the wall. Not the border wall, the Berlin wall. Keep them in.
Jimbro, yikes. Your stogie and book reading sounded delightful until…
heh, reminds me of delightful my body my choice discussions with my sister in law, at thanksgiving and christmas.
Mayo vs Miracle Whip
I say this knowing there is a purpose for both. As a midwest Lutheran, mayo salads are a thing, and Miracle Whip is better in some of those.
twitter: Dylan Mulvaney is in Peru to “feel something”
Grew up in a Miracle Whip household … my mom had worked for Heinz back in the 40’s. A BLT made with regular mayo just doesn’t taste right to me.
There are jars of both MW and Duke’s in my refrigerator now. I make a pretty good broccoli-raisin-bacon salad that uses mayo, not MW.
That man is not real!

twitter: Dylan Mulvaney is in Peru to “feel something”
—–
We all know what he wants to feel. And where.
Peru must be in need of some rainbow colonization. I hope they reject it fully.
The women who are most militant about abortion are those who would never dream of having one themselves, despite any protests to the contrary.
They want abortion available to women who shouldn’t be having kids in the first place.
*cough* (black women)
Good ole eugenics!
Just the other day I made a breakfast sandwich with mayo on one side and MW on the other. Best of both worlds!
This shit, this shit is why we’re going to step backwards about 150 regarding “civil rights” if all this garbage gets sorted.
I get this image of the ghost of Susan B Anthony saying “I’m so sorry, we had no idea”…
I’m going to make a white bread sandwich with mayonnaise on one slice, MW on the other and fill it with tartar sauce.
Maybe call it The Betty White
Just so long as you don’t actually EAT that abomination.
Now if the spread was all marshmallow, we might have something.

It’s Sean Hannity today. Yea verily my heart be sorely troubled. OOOOHM.
When I hear the smarmy radio announcer voice telling me that it’s time for THE SEAN HANNITY MORNING MINUTE I practically drive off the road with my haste to change the station to anything else.
Hannity’s callers keep dragging him for being a Ukraine simp, it’s pretty funny. He’s lucky anyone still listens at all at this point.
The WSJ EB published an oped that said Biden was right to send cluster munitions to Ukraine … SMH
The only question they had was what took him so long.
He wanted to deplete our reserves of other munitions before giving those away.
I really don’t get the obsession with Ukraine

The graft would still flow. Everyone still wins.

Lots of bad polyester clothing and money laundering.

Oh, and Ukraine is a sex trafficking haven.
Real conversation:
MJ: 6/19 – can you please schedule a service call to fix X and Y?
Contractor: I’ll review it when I come out for the 11 month appointment.
Schedules appt for 7/12
Contractor: your warranty was up on 6/24, sorry. I’m just here to tell you we’re not doing anything.

I mean, I’m insane too, but I’m the “mostly harmless” sort of insane.
Mostly.
