Morning lovely! I woke up to a verrrrryyyy rare weather phenomenon for North Texas! Snow! It only snowed for a few hours and it was over 50 here yesterday, so it wonβt last long, but I was glad we got a little. It will probably be the only time this winter that we get any.

We’re expecting a heat wave compared to your anticipated high lovely. 2 degrees here at the moment, but the forecast says we should reach a high of 36. It won’t melt off the 4 inches of snow we received Thurs/Friday but as long as the temp stays above 0, I’ll try not to complain. :0)

I have a snow blower. And two shovels. My big problem is that there is no place to put the snow in the drive from the back of the house up to the front sidewalk, because my driveway joins my neighbor’s driveway, and our houses butt up to the drives. Forward of my house, there are bushes along the drive on my side, so you can’t put snow there. You have to either carry the snow away, or you snow blow down the drive until you get to somewhere to place the snow. The other side of the bushes is my front walk, then the lawn. Usually my neighbor shoots the snow through the bushes onto the walk. People can walk up the drive and gain access to the steps and porch that way.

Federal Appeals Court Rules Videos Exposing Planned Parenthood Selling Baby Parts Not Deceptively Edited
By Micaiah Bilger – January 18, 2019 | 3:01PM WASHINGTON, DC
For years now, mainstream news outlets have been running with the claim that undercover videos of Planned Parenthood selling baby parts were deceptively edited or debunked. Itβs a claim put forward by the abortion industry, but it is not true.

nope. for whatever reason, the er doc didn’t want to give me one; said going the nasaid/therapy route should be first. easy for him to say.
the entire arm/clavicle/shoulder blade and left neck is involved now and my wrist feels like someone is trying to cut it off. i’m in-taking more advil than food. who knows, with our doctor shortage, how many days i’ll have to live this way until therapy can start…had to put in a request through my primary care doc to get therapy approval from my insurance. i’ve been doing one er-instructed exercise which is moving the arm in a circular motion, to the right and then to the left, while pointed toward the floor.
on monday i’ll call my regular doc and plead with him for a shot…hopefully he’s got experience with such a procedure on the shoulder. if not, i’ll have to put in another authorization request to see a specialist.

Ten good things about today π .
1)
https://gab.com/R_OLNEE/posts/46362236
2) Jay Sekulow is talking publicly about whatever Mueller and/or the FBI is gathering is fruit of the poisonous tree. Maybe he has been out there saying this before? Rudy Giuliani has insulted as much before.
3) Nancy Pelosi the angry skin draped Skeletor, the same “let American children die, women be raped, Americans be slaughtered, crime run unfettered” Nancy Pelosi, accused President Trump of endangering her life by telling her to fly commercial π.
Beside the ridiculousness of her claim isn’t that one of the criteria for a dictatorship only the right people’s lives have value? Everyone else is there for the service of the ruling elite and expendable as used Kleenex.
Bonus fact when Nancy does fly commercial (DC to CA) she spend about $1000.00 a week of our money on booze.
4) President Trump is exposing the scam that CODEL excursions are to the public.
5) Ignored again by the MSM but, βAn estimated 100,000 people β including Vice President Mike Pence & President Trump” β gathered in DC on Friday for the annual March for Life.
6) Cranes
7) We have some very witty and funny people on Team Trump.
βFun Fact: If you could shrink the sun down to the size of a marble, it would still not be as dense as you.β @CarpeDonktum
8) Wayne Dupreeβs mom made a decision to not kill him. Thank you Mr. Dupree’s birth mom ππΌβ€οΈ.
βThank You to the Birth Mother I Never Metβ
She made a choice to have me β and itβs been a great gift of life.
https://www.lifezette.com/2019/01/thank-you-to-the-birth-mother-i-never-met/
9) This tortoiseβs prosthetic.
10 Hypocrisy and bigotry go hand in hand, and Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is the poster person for both. If she is the “new face” of the Democratic Party, we Democrats should begin worrying.__Alan Dershowitz

This is what I posted about him yesterday.
The Honorable William Barr simultaneously treats the Left elites with disdain and affability a close to unbeatable strategy.
I agree with her assessment of Barr being reserved and not acting chummy with colleagues. I like that.
I would have looked much like Barr while Feinstein was yammering. I despise Feinstein and her hypocrisy.
I thought her analysis about βfriendβ was off. Was Feinstein reading from Barrβs statement when she said βYou said even though you have been friendsβ (with Bob Mueller) ?
If Feinstein was reading from Barrβs statement then Feinsteinβs meaning of friend is irrelevant, and the interpreter is βreadingβ Barrβs reaction to hoe he described his own relationship with bob Mueller. would have been reacting to his own words. It seems pretty reasonable to me that Barr was using βfriendβ as a person who ran in his professional circles and who he crossed paths with during that time and possibly some social occasion also but the social occasions would have involved colleagues.
As to Lindsey and Feinstein, I thought Lindsey was uncomfortable facing Barr, I do believe Lindseyβs reaction to how Kavanaugh was treated was genuine and that is why I think Lindsey was turned slightly away from Barr at first.
Note that Lindsey does not respond to Feinstein touching him.He ignores her. Lindsey is also using his arm as a protector or shield between him and Diane Feinstein (as she states) but we read the wholeness of that scenario very differently.
I totally understand her distrust of Lindsey.
This body language expert (I forget her name ) is very enjoyable but also in my opinion very prone to confirmation bias. I have watched several of her videos and I think she is generally close to the truth but she does a bit too much editorializing to be taken too seriously for me, even though I agree with her opinions of most people and her analysis.

She said that she has been made fun of for her body since middle school. She said it used to bother her but now she just shrugs it off ππ½.

You know, it’s a shame that such a lovely, strong, vibrant woman would be made fun of for being just that. A woman.

Exactly true. She seems to have put it behind her from the video Stella posted. Unfortunately some people, especially middle school aged girls are particularly cruel.

What a cutie.
Not wanting to be great reminded me of Michael Jordan.
He said the problem with being great is it takes the joy out of “being”. The first championship he played to win, he said he was full of joy as he played, it was wonderful and exciting. Winning was exhilarating.
The second championship he played not to lose because “great people” don’t lose and it was stressful not joyful. Winning was a relief. He felt the same way about subsequent championships in the NBA.
How sad.
I think being great becomes a huge burden for some people, Tiger Woods comes to mind. Others they do not let their greatness in one area of life deceive them into believing that they are “great,” Roger Federer comes to mind.

Many beautiful little towns in that area, and the mountain jeep tracks are magnificent. The area between Telluride and Ouray (actually between Imogene Pass and Ouray) is called the Switzerland of North America. The wildflowers are spectacular! Look up Yankee Boy Basin.

You can rent a jeep yourself, but most people take guided jeep tours with a pro driver. That’s what I recommend.

Imogene Pass is over 13,000 feet elevation. If you have breathing problems, it’s not recommended. Beautiful, though. When the flowers are blooming in July/August, it’s spectacular in the valleys.

No smart tv for us. Id rather just not have a tv. I suspected this was the case here.
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-14/here-reason-why-smart-tvs-are-so-cheap
A significant reason why a smart TV, or perhaps a newΒ 65-inch 4K smart TV with HDR capability, can be purchased for about $500, is because some manufacturers are harvesting data from users.
VizioβsΒ Chief Technology Officer, Bill Baxter, outlined theΒ strategy toΒ The VergeΒ during theΒ Consumer Electronics Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada last Monday.
“This is a cutthroat industry. It’s a 6% margin industry,” Baxter said. “The greater strategy is IΒ reallyΒ don’t need to make money off of the TV. I need to cover my cost.”
More specifically, electronicΒ manufacturers like Vizio have figured out that they can sell smart TVs at, or around cost, and concentrate on data harvesting and post-purchase monetization.
As Baxter put it: “It’s not just about data collection. It’s about post-purchase monetization of the TV.”
He explained there are several waysΒ to monetize smart TVs: “You sell some movies, you sell some TV shows, you sell some ads, you know.”
Baxter said, without the additionalΒ forms of revenue,Β consumers would be paying higher premiums for smart TVs.Β “We’d collect a little bit more margin at retail to offset it.”
Listen to the full interview hereΒ
Vizio TVs, have the ability,Β with user opt-in, track anything that is on the TV, whatΒ the company calls βautomatic content recognition.β That data used to be sold off to third-party data aggregators, but after theΒ Federal Trade Commission andΒ New Jersey slapped the company with a multi-million dollar fine in 2017.Β
Legal documents from the caseΒ reportedlyΒ show thatΒ Vizio installed software on 11 million smart TVs toΒ trackΒ viewing habits without consumers’ knowledge.
Now, Vizio keeps the data but sells targeted advertising in a platform model like Google and Facebook.
So you must be wondering how much data is Vizio collecting from smart TVs?
Well,Β theΒ VergeβsΒ editor-in-chief,Β Nilay Patel,Β tweetedΒ that a connected VIZIO P-Series Class 4K HDR Smart TVΒ pings a server over 500,000 times a week or nearly once every second, much more than the typical device.
