Sunday All Day Brunch: Refrigerator Magnets

Welcome to Sunday All Day Brunch. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new in your life. One of the things I inherited from my Mom was her love of refrigerator magnets. My fridge is loaded with them. Sometimes I even use them to hold up notes but for the most part they are decorations. I got some from my Mom and one from my Dad. I gravitate towards unicorns and cats but I have some other types too.

The Daily F Bomb, Sunday 2/17/13

Good morning! Any of you have exciting plans for the day? I plan to perfect my couch potato technique.

Interrogatories

Do you get along well with your neighbors? What do you have decorating your walls? Are you a leader or a follower? Can you sing? Are you afraid of needles or is getting a shot no big deal to you? If the end of the world as we know it really was nigh, would you want to survive and deal with the fallout, or would you rather die in the first cataclysm (or whatever it may be)? How prepared are you for the Zombie Apocalypse?

Happee Caturdai Pootie Diaree

Those of you who already either know me or know of me know that I am a massive pootie person. We  moved into an apartment and now have a pootie, named Princess Ashley; however I grew up with both cats & dogs and I love both. I do not discriminate against any animal & love animal photos of all kinds. Please enjoy the following and add any photos that you think the community would like to see. Now, enjoy the photos & have some fun.





Two Freshman Senators and a Contrast of Choices

I’m really concerned that ‘too big to fail’ has become ‘too big for trial,’

The Awesome White Base

This is not about the Tea Party. The awesome white base was passed along by my father-in-law and perfected by us. It’s a method for salad dressings and sauces that is easy, delicious and healthy. How can you not love something like that? If you’re curious (or hungry) join me over the fold –  

African American LAPD Officers Come Out To Echo Dorner’s Claims of Departmental Racism

Christopher Dorner is no longer with us.  He no doubt died a death filled with fear and pain, so those who had hoped for resolution and some sort of vengeance for the crimes he committed should feel satisfied.  There is a mountain of conspiracy theory surrounding how he met his final end, but I’m not interested in any of that, because I read the manifesto and Christopher Dorner got exactly what he wanted.  In my belief system he is somewhere that his name surely got judged, and in my opinion he’s not enjoying the verdict.

We have a nasty habit in Southern California.  We can experience incident after incident of police abuse that would make any 3rd world dictator tip his hat bow and say we’re not worthy.  Federal judge steps in we get a consent decree, a Christopher Commission, a new Police Chief to introduce an alphabet initiative that sounds good on TV and does nothing and the LAPD continues to keep its culture.  

Now that Dorner is gone I’d like to share the stories of other African American LAPD officers who stepped forward.  They wanted him to stop.  They are crime fighters in their heart, but they also wanted to step forward in order to insure the racist tension and pain that caused Dorner to snap into an anti social monster is brought to light.

Weekly Address: President Obama’s Plan for a Strong Middle Class

From the White House – Weekly Address

In this week’s address, President Obama calls for quick action on the proposals he made during the State of the Union to grow our economy and create jobs, including making America a magnet for manufacturing, strengthening our education system through high-quality preschool for every child, and raising the minimum wage.

The Daily F Bomb, Saturday 2/16/13

Happy Saturday, Bombastics! What a weird news week that was. I suspect that things will only get stranger.

Interrogatories

In the good old days, we used to theorize that people like Bill Gates or Martha Stewart were the Antichrist. Who would be your candidate for that position today? Do you recall mimeograph/ditto machines, and if so, did you not inhale deeply of every test paper the teacher passed out? What is your favorite kitchen appliance/electric? What’s on your bucket list? How many juries have you served on? Did you enjoy the experience? What sports (if any ) are you good at?
