The Matchmaker
Gerard van Honthorst
And because your intrepid but forgetful coblogger did a cursory and incomplete check, this piece is a repeat. So here is another painting, suggested by commenter "Kris," who really does know a lot about art!

Very smart, very loyal dogs.
They tend to get fat if they aren't kept active.
As a herding breed, they can be loud barkers.
They practically learn english. Usually very dedicated and friendly, a little foot shy, sometimes a little neurotic.

As long as I live, I will NEVER understand why the Welfare Class drives all public policy in this country.
No one cares about the poor fuckers who have to pay for it all.
Posted by: Bicentennialguy at July 18, 2017 09:22 AM (io/fD)
It's simple. The poor fuckers who have to pay for it all don't complain, except at the dinner table, or the occasional letter to the editor. They simply look at their household budget and try to figure out how to keep going on less money.
If the working class of this benighted country rioted in even half the force of the FSA, you'd see change faster than you can say "Ticonderoga."
As I said yesterday, nothing short of a blind date with Madame Guillotine is going to wake DC up.
And that being said, I'm thinking of motorboats now, for some strange reason.

I have a hobby farm with chickens, geese, ducks, rabbits and horses.
I see corgis at my daughter's horse shows periodically milling about the barn. I assume they are decent around livestock?
Of all my golden's wonderful attributes, she was unfortunately an egg eater and killed one of my chickens. The Pyrenees I have is great with the farm animals though.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous flat chestedness,
Or to take Hold against a Dee of Doubles,
And by fondling mold them: to rise, to sleep
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
the crotch-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
that Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
devoutly to be wished. To rise, to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there I rub,
for in that sleep of death, the boobehs may come

They're a herding breed, so they're bred for that.

Our list had been winnowed down to border collie, corgi or another golden.

Joseph Wright of Derby was a great painter. Nowadays, he's often overshadowed by Benjamin West, J-L David, Turner, Copley. I used to discuss this one when I taught the Enlightenment Era. A lot of artists painted scientific ideas at the time.
Orreries are also really cool. I'd like one someday.

Yes. It must be caught very early for treatment to be successful, and thankfully, most dogs (97%) survive. Sadly, ThunderB's dog went very quickly, just a couple of days. I believe he developed hemorrhagic pneumonia.

Say to a border collie "where is your ball?" and he will go find the
thing, wherever it is, and then bring it to you. And drop it at your
feet.
And you better be ready to play.

Son's dog is just like that. Well, she's gotten used to loud noises. He's actually taken her to a friend's place in the country to go shooting, and she doesn't mind.
He was leaving to go home Sunday night, and before he opening the front door, I noticed a buck deer in the driveway, and warned him to put his dog on her leash. Thank goodness. She and the buck had a stare-down before it took off. She wanted that deer so badly.

Yes, I've met many fantastic border collies that were amazing animals, which is why they were on my short list.
Unfortunately, just inside the last couple of months I've encountered a couple that weren't really aggressive (because they were largely minding their own business, lying down) but when I went to pet them they snapped at me.
I had a friend with one that was completely psychotic, but I always attributed that to the fact that he kept it fenced up and didn't work with it often enough.
With a kid, I'm tempted to err on the side of docile.

I was pleasantly surprised the last time I went through my local Wendy's drive-thru. My last experience was with native-born people who had a very poor grasp of the English language as well as general human interaction skills.
The last time I was through there, a very, very nice young lady with perfect diction was working the window. So much so, I was compelled to call the store manager and compliment her.

Believe me, I'm trying. He's looking to move into senior housing on campus, and putting all his things in storage. I hope he hasn't waited too late. Meanwhile, psycho roommate is rarely at the apartment, apparently staying with his dad, who he claims "needs" him to care for him. So there's that.
So far he's roomed with a couple who had major issues, a guy whose nutty girlfriend moved in with them, and now this kid. Son was perfectly happy alone in his one bedroom place, and then psycho boy convinced him to move into the more spacious place to "save money."

The GOP is rather hilariously, audaciously corrupt, mendacious, and irresponsible, as their refusal to actually exploit the popular animus against O-care illustrates. I can't think of any example in US history of such brazen dishonesty on a concrete issue of such importance to the entire populace.
Of course the Dems, and the Beltway in general and the media and the punditocracy (effectively all on entity) are insane and reviled as the authors of this catastrophe.
So where are you gonna go? Trump has been more a spectator than leader on this (huge mistake, obviously, from the outset). So there we are - the world's largest richest country held hostage to a handful of insurance company political action committees, and self-dealing HMO outfits, over something that just doesn't affect real life but is major anchor on the economy for everyone.
Oh - and let's celebrate the newest global warming myth of US politics - an "issue" that never got anyone elected or defeated in history, "pre-existing condition" distortion of the concept of insurance vs. welfare safety net - is now our newest "third rail". Somehow, magically, this great moral issue of our age wasn't sufficient to made one Republican vote for O-care just a few years ago - yet now, somehow, it's this political IED waiting to go off.
Because it's sort of obvious that a populace that reviles O-care so much it has delivered the greatest partisan shift in our history will just reconsider and embrace O-care and punish those who repeal it if this political non-issue that never motivated them before is not addressed.

End all waivers. Let the law take effect. Exercise the HHS secretary's broad discretion.
And FFS, do some politics, at last, on this. Publicly, aggressively, specifically link the damage being done, and a lot of which people are feeling and will feel, to specific aspects of the law, and specific aspects of pre-existing (heh) regulatory distortion that are responsible for the damage. There's real potential to increase the seat count in the Senate, and to put a "skeer" into the survivors sufficient to actually get 60 votes on something real in the future.
Clearly the GOP is not serious or responsible, and have been conditioned to think they can prosper politically merely on the fear of the Dems and the desperation of their voter base. And they have, for 4 cycles now.
Trump is effectively an independent president, and in this particular case needs to act like one. "His" party is most of the problem.

The pyramid scheme for Social Security and Medicare is experiencing an ever-shrinking base to where it's becoming more of a column than a pyramid. Instead of changing the system, which would reduce government power, they'd rather start culling the elderly.

The GOPe is in right now. The Republicans are out.
Al Franken and Chuck Schumer are starting to look like far right Democrats. DNC and GOPe are starting to look like they may lose big.
Is that why the Government is going after Bernie's wife? So that Bernie can't start a new party?
If you tell me the Government is going after Bernie's wife because corruption and abuse of office I will laugh.

Have a friend in wholesale food sales. One of the challenges is that when they deliver to a restaurant (like a Chilis) the guy accepting the order is an immigrant who is depending on laminated cards w/pictures to confirm the order, and when the pic of the perfectly round, red tomato doesn't match what's in the crate they want to reject the order (and then the fun begins via a translator).

I have a friend who was in receiving for a large manufacturing plant in Canada and she said that one night a guy came rolling in who clearly didn't speak a lick of English or French. He handed her his paperwork and said "Mexico?" She was all dude dude please tell me this wasn't supposed to be going to the Mexican plant.

The speculation was that in addition to rationing care, Obama wanted their assets in play - not only the estate tax, but getting their house on the market for illegals, etc.

There have been many senior at my church in the years since Obamacare who had treatable diseases who were nonetheless put on paliative care because of their age. Trust me, seniors know the feds want them dead, the trend has been too obvious to deny it.
And McCain is past the magical age where intervention is approved for regular folks.

The roommate is a little 22 y.o. idiot who seems to forget our son is a former Marine. I think his last threat (through a friend of our son's) is the reason the psycho is staying away from the apartment now. A wise decision.

Can't force Congress or others onto O-care, but the administration can and should (finally) take a political role here.
End all waivers. Let the law take effect. Exercise the HHS secretary's broad discretion.
And
FFS, do some politics, at last, on this. Publicly, aggressively,
specifically link the damage being done, and a lot of which people are
feeling and will feel, to specific aspects of the law, and specific
aspects of pre-existing (heh) regulatory distortion that are responsible
for the damage. There's real potential to increase the seat count in
the Senate, and to put a "skeer" into the survivors sufficient to
actually get 60 votes on something real in the future.
Clearly
the GOP is not serious or responsible, and have been conditioned to
think they can prosper politically merely on the fear of the Dems and
the desperation of their voter base. And they have, for 4 cycles now.
Trump
is effectively an independent president, and in this particular case
needs to act like one. "His" party is most of the problem.

If I were advising Trump, I'd encourage him to hit the road for a series of health rallies.
On stage, bring up vet after vet who have had horror stories at the VA. Then bring up people who have had their premiums skyrocket because of O-Care.
Then flash a yuge screen picture of McStain and tell the crowd that, while they suffer, this ambulatory shitstain gets the best health care available in the country.
And the best part? You're paying for it!
I would tell Donald to make McStain the face of Congress. A worthless, useless parasite who should have had his spackled ass thrown in jail years ago. Unleash the power of a mob.

Tami, I have begged him to move in with us (he can store all his things at husband's warehouse), but he won't consider it. Yes, he leaves her there during the day, since roommate is working.
I think the stupid kid has sense enough to know our son would go full John Wick on his ass.
Hope he's out of the apartment within the next month. I honestly can't take much more, and he hasn't even told us everything. One of his vet buddies told my husband some of the drama. Psycho Boy's dad is a retired NYC attorney, and he knows some of what his idiot son has been up to. That may be one reason the kid is staying at his dad's.

There are a lot of scumbag kids who'd love for mom and dad to hurry up and die so that they can get the inheritance, and the state is right there urging things along.
