[I’d say “April Fool!” but I think the jokes on me….WordPress ate Calvin and Hobbes!]
“Come out, come out, wherever you are!”
I give up. Go see it next door.
Morning Miss Mary!
HI! I’m from the government and I’m here to help you! Yeah you rite, April Fool.
Hi! We’re from the Republican Party and we’re here to save the Constitution, your freedom and the American Dream! See above…
That’s really funny!!! April fools! 🙂
Stella — that photo gives me the chills! I’m “over” winter. More sunshine, please! 🙂
Yeah, got me for a minute there, had to remember what ‘snow’ was….memories…fading…
Either the Cubs or Cleveland Indians stadium. Czar next year, I’ll Fedx you a front end loader full of snow. Just a reminder……….
I think it’s Fenway Park.
Correct. Here’s another view.

Just because life is so beautiful.
Unbelievable voices. Thanks, Lovely.
Well look at what I got in an email
This email was sent by: Romney for President Inc., 500 Cummings Center, Suite 4400, Beverly, MA 01915.
This message reflects the opinions and representations of Our Principles PAC, and is not an endorsement by Mitt Romney. You are receiving this email because you signed up as a member of Mitt Romney’s online community on 2014-11-27 11:05
Look at who the reply email is sent to;
support@mittromeny.com
The email is a hit piece on Trump, full of lies and manipulations.
Did you know since 1999, Donald Trump has changed his position on abortion FIVE TIMES. Just in the last year, Planned Parenthood has applauded Trump for asserting that he is, “pro-choice in every respect.”
In fact, Trump believes his own sister, who is a Federal Circuit Court Judge, would make a “phenomenal” Supreme Court Judge even after she struck down New Jersey’s ban on partial-birth abortions.
Confused by his many stances? You are not alone in wondering where Donald Trump stands on abortion.
Voting on Tuesday? Ask yourself, “how many more times will Donald Trump change his position on abortion to court votes?”
Sincerely,
Katie Packer

Been replaced as my DH’s wallpaper on his phone. Yep, and by a man, at that. Moving towards forty years with the man and he bumps me for a man.
And it is ok by me.
Cuz it is MY MAN,
Donald Trump!

I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday, no phones, nap time and then my DH had to tell me his schedule for the day and reminded me it was Friday.
Hiya, Michelle! I’ve been out plantin’ today. Bought 5 azaleas instead of 3, and 3 trellises, and all kindsa crap. My charge card suffers……. 😀 Gotta go find the bar – hey! Is there no Trump tonight???
Not that I know of. There are three events tomorrow.
It sounds like you at least had fun running the charge card up. 🙂

Yum. Mornin’ Nyet and everyone.
Waffles! Yummo! Good morning Nyet 🙂
Mornin’!
Pass the maple syrup please.
I dunno Dr. No. That top plate kinda looks like a starter set, mi compadre. I have a hard time eatin’ things that I can’t spell at the bottom. If’n I call ’em all biscuits, izzat okey-dokey? 😯 😆
Hmmmmm….. April fools day, eh? We should all go next door and post undying support for Ted Cruz in the daily thread. 😉
Let’s don’t – ’cause SOME of us’ll have to go remove it…..
There is very little sense of humor to be found there – but all of it would be in the OT.
I was just musing about the people over there that are desperately trying to find Trump deodorant and underpants to buy in support his campaign, absolutely freaking out if posts supporting Cruz were to appear (even as an April fool’s joke). Probably get labeled as traitors for the rest of time in the minds of some.
Good morning! I’m not totally awake yet, but working on it. I think I’ll go get some coffee.
At least it’s Friday – TGIF.
I’m looking at footage of Norway on my television. Beautiful place, but can you imagine living in a place where it is winter for so long, and dark? It’s bad enough where I live.
Happy April to all of you. I don’t have any jokes, other than today’s photograph – April 1, 1997, in Boston. It’s overcast here today; we had a lot of rain last night, it will be in the 40’s today, and we will get SNOW tonight! About an inch. And more snow on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, although it will be warm enough to melt off quickly. I tell people that we always get snow the first week of April, and this year it will be more than once.
I hope the weather is better where you live.
APRIL SNOW
Daver Austin
Will it be the last?
I’ve wished for it all winter –
No early spring snow –
The Gods haven’t heard my plea
Ground is covered already
Out with the shovel!
On with my heavy warm coat
‘Whistle while you work’
The old Disney song comes back
But I’m out the door cursing!
Wow!!!!
P.S.: They just upgraded our forecast for tonight from snow to rain.
We got a lot of rain yesterday, and in the early morning hours, but the nasty stuff didn’t hit here. I am really grateful we didn’t get hit too hard. It may rain more later, but right now we have some weak sunshine playing hide and seek in the woods outside my door.
Menagerie, where’s your eyes?!!!! {giggle}
Good morning Stella! 🙂 39° here
Good morning Stella!
I’m just trying to be smarter than the average bear today and not be got.

Gracie D sent me this via FB – very interesting……
https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2016/03/30/cruz-camp-whistle-blower-exposes-evil-campaign-tactics/
Not a surprise. Always disappointing though.
I have seen with his supporters a Jones Town feel, especially from the Christian sect.
Which, btw, I haven’t been hearing as much about him being the only Christian lately from the campaign. Could it be that it won’t benefit him as much from here on out?
I have no idea who Mark Dice is and I guess too lazy to look him up. Who he is isn’t important for this video but what Michelle Fields wrote after this video shows her pattern.
That makes what…4 or 5 different incidences now?
I believe so.
She accused Allen West of grabbing her breast.
She accused the NYPD of knocking her down, I believe that time she said the NYPD were more violent than the protesters.
She accused this Dice guy.
Not that I like Charles Johnson but he says she accused him of hacking her website.
Now the campaign manager.
I think she should have followed in her father’s footsteps and been a film writer.
I can find eight roads to glory for Michelle.
1) Accused Corey Lewendowski of grabbing her with such force she was almost thrown to the ground like a rag doll and left with bruises on her arm. This incident in particular is the worst thing that has ever happened to her in her entire life other than he dad’s death.
2) Accused Leonardo DiCaprio’s minder of pushing her out of the way.
3) Accused NY police of knocking her to the ground.
4) Accused Chuck Johnson of hacking her email.
5) Accused Mark Dice of harassment.
6) Accused Allen West of groping her.
7) Claimed RFK got “handsy” with her.
8) Claimed Family guy Creator hit on her when she was a teenager.
Maybe she’ll “accidentally” slip on a banana peel in a supermarket next week.
Or she’ll “find” a noose in her office, or “find” hurtbadfeels graffiti painted on her garage.
These people are so predictable.
Michelle Fields abandons apartment after Fox News, BuzzFeed publish personal info
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/mar/31/michelle-fields-abandons-apartment-after-fox-news-/
Former Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields said Wednesday that she was forced to temporarily move out of her D.C.-area apartment after Fox News and BuzzFeed accidentally published her address online.
Ms. Fieldstold The Blaze that she was barraged with threatening messages after the two news outlets posted an arrest report she recently filed without redacting her personal phone number and home address.
It seems her suffering knows no bounds 🙄
DoxxNEWS.
So glad I gave up TV, nearly 15 years ago.
#5 if it was Andrew “Dice” Clay, I might be inclined to believe her.
Perhaps MF believes Mark Dice’s polls to
be true and lives her life as if it were one. ;

Northern Lights as far south as Maine and Michigan’s LP.
A few years ago, probably about 8 years ago, I watched them, standing in a backyard about 10 miles east of here, until my neck hurt.
And they don’t make that tinkly sound like in the movies.

From this article, which will make any fan laugh:
https://stephanpastis.wordpress.com/2014/06/07/ever-wished-that-calvin-and-hobbes-creator-bill-watterson-would-return-to-the-comics-page-well-he-just-did/
Technology is not his friend.
I found that out when it came to the logistics of the artwork. I drew my part first and then shipped him the strips. I wanted him to fill in the panels I left blank, and simply scan and email me back the finished strips.
I asked him to do this because I did not want to be responsible for handling his finished artwork. Partly because I knew it would be worth thousands of dollars. Partly because I knew he wanted to auction it off for charity. And partly because my UPS driver has a tendency to leave my packages in the dirt at the end of our driveway. (I could just imagine the email I’d have to write the next day: “Dear Mr. Watterson – The first comic strip you’ve drawn in 20 years was ravaged by a squirrel.”)
So this left doing it my way. Digitally.
And this is when I found out that Bill Watterson is not comfortable with scanners or Photoshop or large email attachments. In fact, by the end of the process, I was left with the distinct impression that he works in a log cabin lit by whale oil and hands his finished artwork to a man on a pony.
So I proposed working out our technological issues over the phone. But he didn’t want to.
At first I thought it was because he didn’t own one. Or have electricity. But then I remembered we were emailing.
And so I soon came to the sad realization that he probably just didn’t want me to have his phone number. Which was smart. Because I would have called that man once a week for the rest of his life.
And so we worked through the technological problems via email.
And unlike every other technological problem I’ve ever had, it was not frustrating.
It was the highlight of my career.
I really like Pastis, his ability to weave long and involved puns that end in a groan is praiseworthy. Wonder if we could get Hillary to get him to run as her VP, it would make her tenure tolerable.

You won’t believe what THIS country did to Hawaii today!
If Allen B. West had a blog in December of 1941.
I respected the man until he got addicted to clickbait headlines that tell you nothing a headline is meant to tell you. Now, I don’t read anything he posts.
I wanted him to be POTUS.
And now he’s using clickbait headlines.
I haven’t had this big a case of buyer’s remorse since I voted Perot.
Hope you vote for
Cruz in Primary. 😉

White House Censors “Islamist Terrorism” from Hollande’s Speech.
Matthew 7:16 (KJV)
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
We know you, Obama.
When the president of another nation, an Ally, gives a speech in America, and we censor it…
…Sum Ting Wong.
Remember when the Left used to use France as the poster child for everything America should be and isn’t?
French culture has been erased by the Left.
French culture = Muslim culture now. Or else you’re a bigot.
I just found this uplifting today. Man helps trapped foal.

Blue Collar Betrayal By BOTH Parties – Here’s Why American Workers Want Trump
Another horrific statistic that will once again be promptly swept beneath the Mainstream Media rug, came out today.
Nearly 30,000 manufacturing jobs were lost last month. 30,000 jobs, 30,000 lives altered, 30,000 families whose way of life vanished to some other worker in another country overseas.
Those jobs were once considered the beating heart of America. If so, that heartbeat is nearly non-existent, and the patient is crashing before our very eyes…WE are crashing.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-01/waiters-and-bartenders-rise-record-manufacturing-workers-drop-most-2009
The comments I won’t vouch for. Many of these are Barnhardt People.
😀
I got contacted a few weeks ago to go to some other country and teach 100+ people how to do some high tech job that has high pay here in the US, that they could do poorly for coins. I said, ‘No, but thank for calling.’
These offshore companies are driving wages down in the tech sector in strange directions. Jobs that actually require first hand experience are being driven down, but jobs that don’t require more than a few classes or a certificate of learning are up. It’s almost like business owners are being told what is important and believing the dumbest things….
Yeah, as I posted before, people sweat BBs over losing their medical records to the Chineeor Russians yet there are companies in I dia and the Windward Islands who do a lot ( with more every day being sent there) of hospital and physician transcription. Then there are those overseas services that do things like read x-rays or provide other realtime services to physicians/hospitals after or even during business hours. The stuff is sent to them over the net and saves the provider having to employ a staffer onsite , much cheaper this way.
Here, Lovely.
Life is indeed beautiful.
Well, you read about this stuff and then one day it happens in your family. My son is getting married in a few weeks, and we are getting a new grandson, a first grader. The young man is super intelligent, very well read, has a vocabulary many adults should envy, and relentless curiousity.
He wanted to discuss global warming with my son over a recent meal. His teacher has done an excellent job of brainwashing him. My son explained, using fixed examples of the difference in temperatures during the era of the dinosaurs, and how much colder it was just two hundred years ago, explained that climate always changes, and no one can pretend to have the answers and specifics based on what man does.
Nope. Not buying it. He is confident that the teacher he admires so much, who teaches him such fascinating things, would never lie to him, so he doesn’t believe his mom and soon to be step father, who he has on a big tall pedestal right now.
Not surprising at all, his school is the best public school in the city, and full of very wealthy people who like to be just exactly positioned on the oh so important issues.
I hate the American school system. Why is it that we allow total brainwashing in our schools?
Ask him what he is willing to give up in order to stop global warming. That’s what we did when my younger grandson insisted that oil is evil (learned at school – where else?).
We suggested that he give up riding in a car, or flying in a plane. No more going up north to the lake or on vacation to Florida.
He’s not willing to do any of those things.
Every toy he has that is made out of plastic — is made from oil.
Every non-plastic toy he plays with was manufactured using machines which are lubricated with oil.
TAKE THEM ALL AWAY.
See what happens.
The car and the plane you mention are Mom and Dad’s stuff.
Take away their stuff.
Disclaimer:
I’ve never been a parent. Probably a good thing.
Like good thing Bubba in his armchair ain’t really making football plays.
I would try and use logic with kids.
I’m an idiot, I know.
That works sometimes, but other things aren’t negotiable.
I hate the American school system…
Lately I don’t hate much of anything or anyone.
Except that.
Possibe answer to your final question:
Because both Mom and Dad have to work, now, to pay for billions in entitlements, hence we have to warehouse our K-12th-graders.
People feel they have no other option.
And the remaining options are social stigma, and make people’s Fecebook friends say “Icky!”. like Homeschooling and private schooling.
Oh, what a wonderful typo.
Ivory™ soap, with it;’s amazing floating capability, was also a complete accident.
A wonderful one, still.
We sent our three to parochial schools. It literally almost buried us financially.
What does that matter? Seriously.
Would you rather be buried financially or all your kids be de-educated in the way of The State?
I know which I’d choose.
Obviously, that’s what she chose. Mine went to parochial from pre-school through 7th grade. Wish I had kept her there.
Most parochials stop at the 8th grade, sadly.
A great K-8 education, and then toss you into the prison equivalent of General Population, to be attacked from all moral sides and corrupted.
Why can’t parochial schools go to 12th? I don’t get this.
Does the FedGov prohibit it, or something?
No, there are Catholic high schools. My SIL and his siblings went to Catholic HS in Detroit (they lived on the east side).
Maybe from 9th grade, on up, your private school gets a 10,000% increase in what they must pay the government in order to continue to exist.
“Why is it that we allow total brainwashing in our schools?”
Silly. Because we were brainwashed to allow it.
It’s like the chicken or the egg question.
There better be eggs tomorrow, Nyet!

It was in that book I linked to here, written in 1790. Someone in Prussia tried to make a school that was nondenominational. The results on the children caused it to be shutdown within a few short years. Someone decided to do it again a few years after that with the goal this time being to cause the very same results. That was the beginning of our school system. The result? Children with no moral grounding, unthinking soldiers and factory workers.
With very few factories at which to go apply and work.
That last question is rhetorical, right? Mebbe you could home-school the lad, Miss Menage.
I believe this young man may be past my level of education already!
Wow!! Congratulations, Menage!! I had no idea another of yer kids was getting married! You shall have grandkids out the wazoo!! 😀
Plus, when the first grader iz taller, we can beat him.
Bar! Beer!! Rainin’ on my new azaleas….. 😀

😯 I’m guessing you are going to put out your “Maid Service” sign.
Lemme guess – the envelope wasn’t ready? 😀
Hahaha! Where’s the shovel?
That’s next week.
Grab a bottle, then……
Bar! Booze!
You get to go to a bar, I get to pump out a rain-overloaded septic system, such are the vicissitudes of life.
Ha! You din’t level the dirt out, huh?
It’s an arrobic system with sprinklers. Theres a leak in the final tank somewhere and when the water pressure from a really heavy rain saturates the ground groubdwater will leak into the tank, stir up the crud on the bottom and clog the pump screen. I have to sump-pump it out then pull the built-in pump and clean the screens. Into every life a little effluent must flow – stoll beats those poor souls who get backup from the city system when the city gets a heavy rain.
That looks linda ritzy for folks like me, Miss Wee. I’ll do my best to behave. I’m left alone in a big city. 🙄
Where you iz, Bubba???
In H-town. Leavin’ for MT at 0 dark thirty Monday mornin’. 🙄
😯 Take yer coat – I don’t think they’re doin’ azaleas, yet.
I’m fixin’ to fire this dum-bass weather man in my fruit phone then. Earlier in the week he said high of 63*. I can work with that. I ain’t got a suitcase big enough for freezin’ weather. 😯
Ya’s wear the damJacket on the plane, take it off and put it in the overhead. Jus’ don’t forget to grab it when it’s time to get off.
I just looked up Helena – their weather is supposed to be nicer that it will be here.
The sad part is I’m gonna be in the easternmost part of the state. Nothin’ purdy. Flat lands and oil rigs. Just like bein’ in Houston. Only colder. 🙄
Well. Oil rigs. There’s that…….
Don’t know if they’re workin’tho.
Which brings to my peabrain – are all oil lands flat?? Slowdeatha was a basin (though you couldn’t tell it) – flat does not begin to describe it. The old saying was, “Slowdeatha ain’t hell, but you can see it from there.”
Actually, the closest I think I’ve ever been to Hades, was in Sanderson, TX in July. Can’t remember ever havin’ to spend time out in yer ol’ stompin’ grounds. Sweet jeebus. 😯 😯
I wuz here for several of them “weird years”, Miss Wee. 🙄
Yeah, I done heard that about Sanderson, too….. never made it there. Too hot…..
Prolly was that year we hit 117* in May. Weird year……
Don’t know if this is reliable, but is claiming these are the phone records for DC Madam.

This site says these are the numbers released in 2007 and the other 800+ numbers haven’t been released.

Now it’s rumored on FB that Kasich has a sex scandal of his own. His apparently is a little different.
I certainly hope they don’t start threatening videos.
Well, lookie here. A whole passel of Hilda-beest’s lackey’s all have the same attorney. This will be interesting.
