Hubster just had valve replacement surgery, so we have been in the hospital for the last three days.

I used to love the Mississippi Mud, and the Denoginizer from Trader Joe's. My local market just started carrying the latter.

I love okra; sautéed with onion and tomatoes.

Yes. I found The Mudflats when I was looking for reliable information about Palin. Jeanne and I are FB friends, and got to meet IRL when a number of us were going to DC for a meetup; she came all the way from Alaska. I gave her a wind-up flashlight for navigating her driveway; it matched her wellies.

I'm an atheist, I had never heard of Rev. Barber until the 2016 Democratic convention and when he spoke, I stood up and cheered. The only religionists I have any tolerance for are of his type-helping people in need. He quickly jumped to my "Favorite Americans" list.

Here's a major problem with juries. I've never been on one, but my wife has. Juries tend to believe what judges and prosecutors tell them, and don't understand that they are the ones in charge of the decision.

In a case like this, I'd say "Not Guilty" and nobody would be able to budge me. If Judge and Prosecutor insisted that I had to judge the bare facts of the case the way they laid it out to me, and disregard common sense, morals and context, I'd say, "No, I don't have to do anything like that whatsoever. I'm a free citizen of the United States, and i say 'Not Guilty.'"

Because to have spent this much time and money on this is a disgrace. It's clearly the State of North Carolina trying to punish a preacher for embarrassing them. That prosecutor deserves to be publicly mocked and chased out of town.

I agree. It's ridiculous to claim a protestor in a government building is "trespassing." He has as much of a right to be there as any legislator.
