Never grow up
Never will grow up

55 The painting is wonderful and showcases Wright's talents. It is also freaking hilarious. The artist's facial expression is perfect reflecting his frustration while momma tries to bribe the little girl. If this scene is drawn from his experience I can understand why he preferred painting horses.

86 Good question about who the other woman, the one on the couch, is. Since she's dressed for outdoors with bonnet and parasol, I doubt she's the painter's wife. Perhaps Mom's sister or friend. The look on her face suggests she's seen this kind of behavior from Bratlina before.

The painter looks as if he's thinking, "Why didn't I listen to my father and go to medical school?"

108 During my working years it was necessary to have young kids hold still while taking ultrasound images of their heart. We used a variety of distractors, whirligigs, spinning lights, squeaky toys, videos, etc, but my secret go-to weapon was my ability to speak in a Donald Duck voice and catch the child off guard with a Donald Duck sneeze followed by a startled series of quacks.

"That almost sounds apologetic toward the insurance industry -- but who is it who wrote Obamacare? Oh, the Dems porked it up past the gills, but the fundamental legislation was the dream sheet of medical insurance, fully giving them a mandate, enforceable under the law, that everyone MUST use their product. The insurance industry was not devoured by Obamacare; they set the friggin' table for it."

While I cannot argue with this, it is in no way apologetic to the Insurance industry. But much like the pros in the propaganda press, the commenter cherry picked one line, and ignored the entire paragraph:
==
Of course this comment is absolutely false. They wrote almost none of it. They were explicitly excluded from it. They were the boogeyman in the closet dems used to whip up support. The hospitals had much more input.

This is not to say that the insurance companies didn't lobby for it in the end. Because they did. But they had very little input in its drafting. It was mostly pointed head leftist government single payer advocates who fashioned it. Left to their devices, they would have eliminated private insurance.

Ugh! I am going through a bunch of old pictures. Like my grandparents as children old and older. Found two actual tin types, one of them is likely the only photo of my great great grandfather. The other is of a woman whose face is not visible due to the picture deterioration, but possibly great, great grandmother.
Anywho, also found the only known photo of my grandfather's sister Naomi Ruth. She died as an infant. The photo was taken of her in the tiny casket. It's just disturbing and since there aren't any relatives who want the pic, or remember the kid even existed, I'm throwing it in the trash. Definitely not something I want to keep.

147 I see the MSM is returning to the 11 million illegals number they had dropped using for a long time. Some talking head/expert was yapping about how deporting that many people would destroy the economy,construction, farming, food service etc... I have been hearing it used in other interviews by regime approved experts.

Setting aside that argument, 11 million is now the number that entered under Biden and is being confused (intentionally?) with the 11 million illegals acknowledged before Biden. It was in reality at least twice that so the real total number now is 30-40 million.

That is staggering. And you will never hear it spoken of by the MSM. Is now 11 million again.

275 I worked as a phlebotomist for a blood bank. I referred to myself as a vampire. Whenever I have to get blood work, I mentally critique the process. One girl advanced the needle too far and didn't get even a trickle of blood. She was starting to look at other veins for a second try. I said, "Hon, just ease that back a bit and we'll be golden" she looked unconvinced but did it and boom! One tube of blood done in seconds. She was surprised and grateful that I wasn't griping and had taught her something.

Many years ago I was giving blood on one of those bus setups. This gal in training puts the big needle in, misses the vein then without taking it out again starts wrenching around in my arm. She broke something and blood starts squirting. An older nurse practically shoves her to the floor and takes over.

307 Hello! Quick question that's totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?

My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4.
I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix
this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Thank you!
