No where really. I had a nice two week visit from my son, he left, furlough started, and I am getting the rest of the children ready to go back to school. The powers that be are alluding that the furlough will last longer than 11 weeks. We have income and that is a bonus, compared to an article I read here: Signs of Declining Economic Security.
Sheila Jackson Lee (D) Texas wants to limit federal funding to states with stand your ground laws and have neighborhood watches register with the police department. So you would have to run and hide and not have the right to look out for your neighbor unless you are registered. The Congressional Black Caucus is recommending Sheila Jackson Lee for Homeland Security Secretary.
Is everyone tired of hearing about Anthony Weiner or is it just me? I don't think his biggest fear should be his ever shrinking campaign, I think that since his wife is a top aide to Clinton, his fear should be taking a dirt nap. If the Clinton campaign is going to try to minimize Benghazi, they certainly do not want to be done in by Weinergate.
Lawmakers in the South and on the East Coast have blocked further rate hikes of the 2012 reform of the Nation Flood Insurance. It had unintended consequences......yes it did, people, like my neighbor, have lost their homes. I was disgusted by a Mississippi representative who said that people will walk into banks and hand over their keys, when it has already happened. While too late for some, maybe it will help others.
I have been baking, crocheting and playing around with the dehydrator.
Small bag of carrots:
This is in a sandwich bag.
Ten pounds of potatoes in a gallon freezer bag:
Hash browns! I will be doing more but I was mainly concentrating on things that I use a little bit of and will go bad by the time I use it up. Carrots and large bags of potatoes fit into this category. I am trying to eliminate food waste as much as I can.
I have been crocheting quite a bit, another coping mechanism. Having a lot of yarn that doesn't add up for a big project, such as blankets, has been put to use in making hats, mittens, etc., for the homeless. Soon everything in the house will be covered in crochet. The loop on the lock remote for my van broke so it could not hang on the key chain, I was not about to order another so here was my fix:
As you can see not even the van is immune to the crochet hook!

I have indeed wondered where the hell you've been. Glad to know nothing was terribly wrong.
ReplyDeleteYes. I am tired of Weiner-- although this story makes John laugh uproariously! I am tired of Sheila, too. What a joke.
Cool keyfob.
Thanks! I'm always around.
