Good morning Figments..
Yesterday it was in the mid 70s, very warm even for SC and tennis was wonderful. Today, our friends are coming over and we are all going out to a seafood place for lunch, 2:30. This is really strange, but it is what they do. Retired people having a late lunch, early dinner. I have decided to make them a loaf of bread from the magic machine..

If the the most overturned court in the United States spits on the constitution and chooses to once again push their own agenda over the law they will for all but the most seeped in hypocrisy forever known as malicious enemies of America.
There are few clearer cut cases that will come before a court than President Trump exercising his constitutional authority ;
(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.
If the 9th Circus Court (Love it thanks amwick!) goes rogue President Trump should direct the Attorney General to enforce 8 U.S. Code § 1182 – Inadmissible aliens (point A) until the Constitutional Law is restored.
(a) Classes of aliens ineligible for visas or admissionExcept as otherwise provided in this chapter, aliens who are inadmissible under the following paragraphs are ineligible to receive visas and ineligible to be admitted to the United States:
(1) Health-related grounds
(A) In generalAny alien—
(i) who is determined (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services) to have a communicable disease of public health significance; [1]

22 Percent of Resettled Refugees in Minnesota Test Positive for Tuberculosis

Evidence of support of ISIS on their cell phones or pictures of the barbarism of Islam should be sufficient evidence of terror connections and sympathies, anyone coming into the country with such on their phones should be denied access to America and sent back to their country of origin.
Time to throw up the road blocks, overwhelm the liberal courts and force terrorist enablers to admit that they are indeed in favor of allowing terrorists into America to prove that they themselves are good people.
Fight fire with fire.

I’m wondering if Starbucks serves anything with ham or bacon?
“He has forbidden you only dead animals, and blood, and the swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for other than God.” (Quran 2:173)
Will they serve Jews?
Women who are not dressed in hijabs ?
(Qur’an: Chapter 24an-Nur (the Light),, Verses 30-31) says “And tell the believing men to lower their gaze and be modest. That is purer for them. Lo! Allah is aware of what they do. And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and be modest, and to display of their adornment only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils over their bosoms, and not to reveal their adornment save to [those relatives who fall within bounds of close relationship explained in the Qur’an]…”
Women not accompanied by a male family member?
33. And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah wishes only to remove Ar-Rijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet ), and to purify you with a thorough purification.
33. Sura Al-Ahzab
Will they serve food and luxury drinks during Ramadan? What will happen during the call to prayer? What will happen if a women is driving and pulls up to the drive-up window?
Will they serve gays or will there be a anti-gay square ready to carry them up to the rooftop?
Would Cher feel safe letting Chasity enter a Muslim run Starbucks?
Will Starbucks be closed on Fridays?
“O you who believe! When the call to prayer is proclaimed on Friday hasten earnestly to the remembrance of God, and leave aside business. That is best for you if you but knew.” (Quran 62:9)
So many questions.

We roll our own instant hash browns. Boil some Yukon Gold spuds, blanch ’em in ice water, grate, season to taste, make into patties, dehydrate, and vacuum seal into servings for two. Throw in a 5 gal bucket with a gamma sealed lid. I usually do 50lbs worth at a time. To rehydrate they just sit in a bowl with some water and then get fried up in bacon grease or lard in a cast iron fryin’ pan. Easy, peasy. We do up 3-4 months worth in a weekend. All American 21 qt pressure cooker. Excalibur 9 tray dehydrators. Food Saver vacuum sealer. Last we penciled it out it’s about 15 cents for two servings. The equipment paid for itself a long, long, time ago.

When I lived in Utah we dried/bagged/pailed a lot more than we do now – remember doing ‘fruit leather’ with leftovers from juicing long before it became commercial. Still can a lot but being lazier now I tend to buy a lot of things already dried and in bags to cache. I will say that home-dried spuds do sound like they’d taste mo’ betterer though.

We’d be lost if we didn’t have the smokers, pressure cookers, juicer, dehydrators, vacuum sealer, and freezers. We still cook for nine even there’s only us two here now, and put up the rest.

Yup, no juicer but I vacuum bag, especially meat. Great for marinating pork too.
When we built I bought a Viking stove top with a huge wok burner in the center. Fits the woks with the grate removed, fries a huge frypan of anything, but most importantly it fits the big waterbath canner an canning pressure cooker. Generally only use that big pressure cooker for canning but our 40+ year old gallon one still does great stews, soups and leather-tough pig.
I find that I can preserve stuff that meets our needs and tastes and not have to adjust my tastes and needs around what some mass marketer’s focus groups feel is acceptable to the widest commercial audience.

I’m probably doing this reply wrong, but livin’ on the edge comes natural. We were discussing putting up foods and I mentioned our juicer. It was a gift from a friend, we weren’t shopping for one and had never even used such a thing. Turns out it’s commercial quality made by Green Star. That thing will juice walnuts if you can shove ’em in the hole. We use it almost daily now. Any veggies in the crisper that are gettin’ a little long in the tooth get juiced, bagged, and frozen. We use those for soups and stew stock. It’s always a different mix so that makes it kind of fun.
Also on the Food Saver vacuum machine there’s an attachment for marinating. It’s about an 8″x8″x4″ plastic canister and I use it for marinating meats to put on the smoker. Instead of having to marinate over night, it does a better job in about 15 min. Pulls a vacuum, holds it for a few minutes, releases for a few minutes, lather, rinse, repeat. Pulls yer marinade deep into the meat.

This baby is one stubborn little toot. Went to hospital last night, contractions were 2 to 3 minutes apart, lasting 1.5 to 2 minutes, after 3 hours they sent her home because they said her cervix was staying the same.
I just knew we were going to have a baby on the side of the road, with them saying “you’re in labor but it’s not hard enough to do anything.”
She didn’t quite agree it wasn’t hard enough.
She has been contracting all night, taking tylenol and hot baths and hot showers and is turning into quite the evil lady. I love her and realize she’s miserable, but I’m about to spank her butt.

She called the other doctor who is filling in for her doctor who is on vacation this morning and she’s supposed to consult with the doctor she is now seeing. She wants her to monitor the baby’s heartbeat to make sure the baby isn’t getting stressed. She was concerned that she is going on 16 hours now with contractions that close.
The only problem with her is she doesn’t have privileges at this hospital and it’s two and half hours away to where she does have privileges.
Her instructions are to check heartbeat between contractions and during contractions for 2 hours unless the baby’s heart beat drops below 120 or goes above 180 during contractions.

We did the diary thing for the other doctor and although the baby’s heartbeat was staying in the safe range, she told her to come on in to the office.
She checked her again and she was still at a 5, so she called her regular doctor who is on vacation and they offered her a shot that would ease the pain with the side effect that it might stop her contractions, but at least she could get some sleep and rest.
She took the shot and is in my spare bedroom asleep.

Her doctor and the one filling in for her are now trying to work with the hospital for her to be able to take care of her in the hospital. Her doctor decided to not take as long of vacation because she has another patient with complications so she’ll be back in town tomorrow and if she makes it until then she will have her now calling the shots.
She actually apologized to my daughter for giving her the option of the other doctor and for her doing nothing for her.

It angers me when I know they can help her and refuse to do so.
It’s quite common for women to get to a certain point and stop dilating that’s why doctors break your water and have medications to help.
Try to convince a hag doctor of that though who is convinced if the contractions were productive then she’d dilate farther. The stupid machine they have to monitor contractions clearly showed the contractions on the graph and the numbers, number wise they were consistently between 50 and 60, what you would expect for beginning of labor. Some women never get above that even at the end of labor. I know my niece never had hers to get above 40.

Attitudes of the doctors and nurses are so important. When I had my son, I quit dilating and the head nurse came in and wanted to give me something to relax me. She said I quit because I was too tense……..in other words “my fault.” I finally gave in, but told her to only give me half because I am sensitive to medication. She only gave me half and I really relaxed…….then, she jammed the rest in and I passed out cold for several hours. Contractions stopped, too. I could have strangled her.

I was in labor for several hours with my first I went to the hospital and they sent me home.
I returned a few hours later and was in labor for another 36 hours and ended up having a c-section because my cervix did not dilate. I think your daughter has an advantage in that this is her second baby so she can likely expect a vaginal birth as her body has already worked correctly before.
If it were me I would go back to the hospital and tell them that I feel like pushing (as I’m sure she does) if they still want to send her home I would demand a printed and signed letter that I was leaving against my own will and thought that the safest place for me and my baby was in the hospital. I would also demand that it be documented in my hospital records that I felt like pushing and that I thought the doctor should not be releasing me.

I’m with you on that one. When mom starts pushing they jump and run. They ran me down the hall with the nurses and Chris screaming at me to stop pushing. It worked so well I did the same thing the next time. Great results for me, but whoee, it makes docs and nurses mad. However, when you are ignored for hours and they are content to let things go, pushing gets results.
Undoubtedly it was a dumb thing to do, but I decided everyone there worked for me, I was boss, and I would decide when to do things. It was one of those labor stories you hear about women doing nuts things. I decided it was time and that was it.

I wanted to have my last one at home, but I went into premature labor that they stopped but I remained on a pill every 4 hours for weeks and still ended up having him early and it started with a lot of bleeding, so even if I had continued with that plan after premature labor the bleeding would have prevented it.

The Coyote Principle
CALIFORNIA
· The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor’s dog, then bites the Governor.
· The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie “Bambi” and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural.
· He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
· He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.
· The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.
· The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals.
· The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a “coyote awareness program” for residents of the area.
· The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world.
· The Governor’s security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training for the nature of coyotes.
· PETA protests the coyote’s relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state.
TEXAS
· The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.
· The Governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge.
· The buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.

Isn’t Rubio the same guy who talked about Trump’s small hands? Does it get any more petty and personal than that? Didn’t he and Jeb have a beyotch fight during one of the debates?
Didn’t Rubio attack Tillerson on the floor for no apparent reason other than personal animus he has for President Trump? IMO Rubio demanded that Tillerson call Putin a war criminal and a murderer to try and make President Trump’s nominee look bad and Trump look bad because he hates Trump. He went so far as to ask Tillerson if Puitn murdered his political opponents. What could Rubio’s motives have been?
In spite of that one might just look at the message and not the messenger until Rubio gets to the 6:55 mark.
6:55 an indignant Rubio attacks Trump without naming him.
Rubio can’t be attacking a fellow senator because he says with things that are going on everywhere else in politics and then goes on to lament people saying things over the last year and a half about “people, issues and institutions”. He is calling for the senate to be the voice of reason and conciliatory conduct?
I’m speaking as much to myself here was anyone else and not trying to sound bitchy I just have a wall up against their garbage as my new motto with the Rubio types is “I won’t get fooled again.” I’ll have a shot of Drambuie with my side of cynicism.

Australia’s firsthand experience with the “renewable energy” market – not so good.
http://joannenova.com.au/
one excerpt:
“It’s not just that renewables muck up the electricity supply (with frequency and instability issues), they also drive a pike through the energy market. These are two separate disruptors. We’ve seen inexplicable spikes in power prices in SA in seasons when it shouldn’t happen, but this might be a new form of volatility. Wind power produced 900MW earlier in the day, but that fell to below 100MW within 6 hours (which is not that usual, see the post yesterday for the graph). The problem, apparently, was that no one thought it was worth turning on their generators?”
An understatement: Those who oppose a free and competitive market in goods and services ought not be making decisions at a regional or national level.

MRI Shows Detailed Images of 20-Week Unborn Babies
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/02/09/mri-shows-detailed-images-of-20-week-unborn-babies/
A newly developed MRI scan allows parents to see detailed images of the beating heart of even a 20-week unborn baby, as well as clear pictures of the baby stretching its legs and even swallowing in the womb.
The new scan, developed by a London-based team of medical researchers, could replace the somewhat grainy ultrasound images parents are more accustomed to viewing during pregnancy.
UK video parenting site ChannelMum is sharing the video, created by the iFind project, which shows an MRI scan of a baby at 20 weeks. Cathy Ranson, who edits the site, says, “Scans are amazing as they help mums, dads and even other family members bond with their baby.”

I learned about ten days ago that I have another great grandchild on the way – due at the end of August. My grandson’s wife was about 12 weeks along when the ultrasound that they excitedly showed me was taken: they talked about how the OB doc had chuckled because the baby, at just under 12 weeks, was so terribly active, it’s little hands (with un-separated fingers at that point) flailing and waving around almost the entire time they were looking at it. So sweet.
My son told my grandson, “You are already a father – being a Dad comes a little later!”
It’s always a true thing to remind our young people when they are pregnant that they are already parents……they don’t become parents the day the child is birthed. They are already mother and father.

Ironic–this (below) just came out yesterday! Thank God for this new MRI scan; more babies may be saved from abortion b/c of it:

This answers our question about the new Senator from Alabama:
Alabama AG sworn in to replace Jeff Sessions
Republican Luther Strange, Alabama’s attorney general, was sworn in on Thursday to fill the Senate seat left empty by Jeff Sessions, tapped by President Donald Trump to be the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, administered the oath to Strange, a well-connected Republican and former Washington lobbyist. Attorney General Sessions and Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama were at Strange’s side in the well of the Senate, and applause filled the chamber after the oath.
Strange joins the Senate after Sessions’ confirmation as U.S. attorney general Wednesday night. The 63-year-old lawyer has been the state’s attorney general since 2011. His selection caps two months of jockeying and political guessing games over who would get the nod from Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley.

Sounds like the guv killed a couple birds with that move. IIRC, the AG was looking at going after the Guv for an affair. I’m still havin’ troubles so I can’t link right now.

I saw on Facebook where some idiot woman went on a rant about daddy/daughter dances being awful for little girls. Didn’t bother to read the idiocy.

My sons send their daughters roses on their birthdays until they are married. I suppose that would be considered awful, too.
Their reason for doing it is so that the girls have high expectations about how a man should treat them.

How wonderful. My son was lucky my father was around so much when he was growing up. He saw how my father treated my mother. That was good because his father and I did not have a good marriage. But, I notice how my son treats his wife. Lucky girl. But, he is also a lucky guy. He picked a peach.

Yes Ms.WeeWeed you are correct! Oil was just a side show, old Texas was land and cattle. Remember Liz going down too those houses where the Mexicans lived. They were employees of the ranch….Now remember the Christmas scene when Sal come over in His Army Uniform. Then the Son in law goes off the war comes home Big parade, Sal comes home, casket, and then his Son marries a Mexican nurse, then the fight in Sarge’s restaurant, and the ending, both babies in the crib……
Yes, SJW movie………

New ‘Nightwatch’ on A&E featuring NOPD. Funny, first case is a cruiser being dispatched to a shooting in one of the rebuilt/renamed projects. Responding is a rather ‘fluffy’ EMT flanked by two of our world-famous ‘fluffy’ police officers. I see they’re still benefitting from the free food offerings.

I think it’s amazing that there exists a whole culture that hates the clitoris.
Even more amazing is that most of the people here who absolutely worship it want to import these people.
