I once rented a country house and the landlord's cattle in the field next to the house had calves late winter and watching them play like puppies was always a joy.
Brilliant! Interestingly enough, the Germans have a word for that: Sehnsucht. Cool, huh? Although this dog seems to be pretty darn happy with his life!
I'm sure I speak for many others in the Wonketeer commentariat who happen to be men over 65, when I reaffirm that Trump has been upside down with ME for a LONG time.
There is no endgame for the war with Iran because America does not enter into wars to finish them. America enters into wars to perpetuate them. It is the nation's biggest business and has been for the past 85 years.
Can someone explain why my real name appears instead of my handle and why my every post appears twice? Ever since I lost my last phone everything has gone to shit.
I’ll take a pass on reevaluating Lena Dunham. From the stuff with her sister to Aurora Perrineau to Odell Beckham Jr., she’s shown us repeatedly who she is.
I was actually watching a little bit of TV news on the plane ride home, and there was a whole lot of coverage of the King and Queen's visit. Yawn. You can tell we don't have a left-wing press, because no one was pointing out that King Charles is as useless as tits on a boar.
Someone sent Harry treats, most of which he loves. But he didn't like the freeze dried salmon. I had a bag and half of them so i put them in a bag with a note that said, my kitty Harry doesn't like this maybe your kitties will. 2 days ago I left it on the door of my neighbors, a family. Neighbors I am just starting to get to know beyond hellos, I know they have 2 kitties. Today there was a card taped to my door.
It was a thank you note.
Their kitties, Cali and Moonlight loved the treats.
With the exception of my next-door and across-the-street neighbors, most of the others I "know" in my neighborhood are fellow dog walkers! Our furry family members have a way of bringing strangers together!
If it works out, being able to trade dog-sitting favors with neighbor friends is a very nice blessing. The dogs are happy as 8-year-olds at a sleepover.
Well fuck. I was hoping we'd take the senate also and so far the predictions are too close for comfort. The link thinks Rs keep the senate and VD would be the deciding vote. I can hope for a better outlook as Nov approaches and wears more morons down.
Point estimates on polls are only useful when they are put into trends with other polls. Virtually all polls showing a close Senate race are within the margin of error, meaning it's a crap shoot. Speaking of crap shoots, Kalshi (betting site) keeps giving a little, tiny edge to a blue senate. And has been doing so for some time. A year ago, there was absolutely no chance of a blue senate. So the fact that now the GOP and Dems are neck in neck for a 50/50 Senate is pretty astounding. The Dems have a few good pick up chances - Maine, Alaska and Texas. Long shots, yes, but distinctly less long-shotty than a few months ago.
Virtually none of the campaign polls are predictive. None. The pollsters like to pretend they are, but they're not. What's useful is when multiple polls come up with similar results. So the trend in point estimates has been towards democrats. That's a good thing.
I don't follow polls either but was curious. I was hoping for better. With all that Rs are going to do to stop us from voting then to take to court their losses it's going to be a massive clusterfuck.
The Roberts Court, and those shadow puppet masters behind the curtain, will not be happy until they truly become "originalists," and confine suffrage to white male landowners. I guess they'll have to wait until Clarence kicks off before that comes to complete fruition. And because he has the typical Republican disinterest in anything that might happen after his death, I'm sure he doesn't care.
Isn't it amazing how words don't mean what their plain reading says that they mean, except for sometimes when they mean the opposite even in back-to-back fictitious 'rulings,' and that what the current Supreme Klux Kort wants happens to be exactly what the Founding Fuckers wanted.

Q: What happened to the dog who finally caught the rhino he was chasing?
A: He became the world’s first "flat" retriever!
Rhino and puppy romp and play.
Rhino and puppy!
I once rented a country house and the landlord's cattle in the field next to the house had calves late winter and watching them play like puppies was always a joy.
Baby rhino, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Run away, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Safe at last, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
It's the end, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Shepherds are a so-called working breed.
This pooch has his work cut out for him.
Imagine the shock of any dog that's out in the wilds and happens across a full-grown rhino that sees him and thinks it's his old friend Shiloh...
"Unwelcome surprise" doesn't quite describe it.
"Hey, wait up! I LOVE you..."
The German Shepherd's working hard
Herding his rhino in the yard
This good doggie has a deep wish
That the rhino was more sheepish.
Brilliant! Interestingly enough, the Germans have a word for that: Sehnsucht. Cool, huh? Although this dog seems to be pretty darn happy with his life!
Speaking of happy dogs, how's Juan doing?
A bit post breakfast snoozey, right now.
By the way, I know that feeling well.
Now that's the life. Please give him some scritches for me!
Butterflies have certainly changed this timeline!
-Ann and Nancy Wilson.
A group of rhinos is called a crash? The things I learn here.
What do you call two or three crows hanging around?
Attempted murder
It's zoomy time!!!!!
Rhizoom
The Dog and The Rhino
came out to play
they ran to and fro
and they did it all day
"Now you charge and chase me!"
That was definitely a “wait, what?” It looks like an ordinary back yard with the dog playing with…a yard rhino.
Happy hippo and delighted doggy having fun!
But wait until that baby grows a horn.
Damn. Babby rhino is fast as fuck.
Man, baby rhinocori are cute AF. But remember, folks, they're fast and they're dangerous, you know, wild animals. No selfies.
I'm sure I speak for many others in the Wonketeer commentariat who happen to be men over 65, when I reaffirm that Trump has been upside down with ME for a LONG time.
Wow, Janet Mills has dropped out of the Maine Senate primary, saying she has run out of money. Boston Globe: https://archive.ph/r2mn3
Nawt being a Mainah, I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about this. Thoughts? Is this bad news for Paul LePage, I hope?
All I know is that Platner is much more likely than Mills would have been to defeat Susan Collins in the general and flip that seat to the Democrats.
Splindid. When I heard the news, I was very concerned.
Good to see Rebecca live on tape and hear her voice after all these years of only still photos. Sounds real good.
Just learned today is Vietnam Reunification Day. Wen America Reunification?

I’m not seeing your posts twice. Did you already delete the duplicates?
I can’t speak to exactly what sorcery has changed your account name, maybe just a “restoration” to a really old saved status of your account info.
If you go to the settings you should be able to change your user name back.

How I wish we could stop figuring out women are cool and correct after the fact, and start realizing it in real time.
How I wish we could all stop figuring out that women are cool and correct after the fact, and do it in real time.
Rhino-Doggo delight.
I’ll take a pass on reevaluating Lena Dunham. From the stuff with her sister to Aurora Perrineau to Odell Beckham Jr., she’s shown us repeatedly who she is.
While I have heard her name, I am otherwise unaware of her. This may be a mercy.

There isn't anything in the way of good news this morning.
Nutz.
How about something sweet.
Someone sent Harry treats, most of which he loves. But he didn't like the freeze dried salmon.

Their kitties, Cali and Moonlight loved the treats.
And now I also know my neighbor's name.

I love the way you move through your life Ziggy, you inspire me! Thank you for sharing <3
You're welcome!
May I point out with all that Anglo Saxon bullshit, that Haym Solomon was not Anglo Saxon?
Well fuck. I was hoping we'd take the senate also and so far the predictions are too close for comfort. The link thinks Rs keep the senate and VD would be the deciding vote. I can hope for a better outlook as Nov approaches and wears more morons down.
There’s always a chance a couple of the octogenarians in the senate will also kick the bucket.
We can hope.

I don't believe polls, especially the predictive type, whether good or bad for our side. The really important thing is a massive voter turnout.
Virtually none of the campaign polls are predictive. None. The pollsters like to pretend they are, but they're not. What's useful is when multiple polls come up with similar results. So the trend in point estimates has been towards democrats. That's a good thing.

The Roberts Court, and those shadow puppet masters behind the curtain, will not be happy until they truly become "originalists," and confine suffrage to white male landowners. I guess they'll have to wait until Clarence kicks off before that comes to complete fruition. And because he has the typical Republican disinterest in anything that might happen after his death, I'm sure he doesn't care.
Recent rulings really show what a joke "originalism" always was.
I mean, it’s honest enough if you think the “original intent” was never for women and brown people to have rights or the vote.
But it’s also pretty rich coming from Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett.
Isn't it amazing how words don't mean what their plain reading says that they mean, except for sometimes when they mean the opposite even in back-to-back fictitious 'rulings,' and that what the current Supreme Klux Kort wants happens to be exactly what the Founding Fuckers wanted.
