This is the saddest post I have ever written for this blog, which has been going since 2010. At the end of his three-hour radio program today, my Hero announced that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. This announcement shook me up, as you might imagine given the title of my blog. I …

2019 It was a (mostly) Very Good Year
As 2019 ends, and 2020 approaches, I have to say that it was a pretty fine year for our little family (Me, Hubby, and Kitty). There were no disasters, no serious illnesses, only a few bumps in the road. Our Country has been wracked and torn by the disgusting DemocRATS impeaching President Trump, but he …
A Bullet Dodged: Thanks Given
RushBabe dodged a bullet recently. I had a health scare, which started in June with an itchy place on one shoulder. Where it started was easy to remember, since it took place on the street in Leavenworth, when Hubby and I were there in June for the International Accordion Celebration. Gradually, that itchy place took …
Not My Idea of Freedom
This ad appeared in one of the emails I get from a conservative Web site. My readers know I'm intending upon never going on the public dole (including Social Security and Medicare). Freedom? Medicare is supposed to be Freedom? To my way of thinking, Medicare brings these conditions with it: Medical treatment confined to "What …
(WA Governor) Jay Inslee wants more oversight over Private Psychiatric Hospitals
He does, does he? It seems that the Seattle Times did a story about all the "incidents" at private psychiatric institutions in Washington. Sorry, no link here due to paywall at the Times web site. How quickly they forget. Just recently, there were many stories of the horrific conditions at the State of Washington psychiatric …

I prefer not to be a participant in others’ delusions.
The first Delusion in which I do not participate is the delusion of "man-made climate change", and the corollaries that demand that we abandon the benefits of plastic items like grocery bags and straws. It makes me angry when the all-powerful Government decides for me which light bulbs I must use (and no longer may …

Non-Civilization in our Civilized Country
Did you know that there are pockets of "non-civilization" within our civilized United States? And we host them, and encourage them to continue to be not-civilized. We spend significant federal dollars on maintenance of these pockets of non-civilization. Those pockets of non-civilization are called Indian Reservations, and they are everywhere in the United States. One …
You can’t spell Democrats without…
Rats. Those wily little rodents are much in the news lately, after our President took jabs at Maryland Representative Elijah Cummings who represents Baltimore. It seems that more than one news outlet in that area has done stories, and documentaries describing the rat-infestation problems in Baltimore. It is well-known that rats follow humans wherever they …
Sometimes I wonder why I read the news at all…Welcome to Seattle and King County WA
The story at the top of the KOMO Web site today is a video of an Army Veteran who was touring Seattle with his wife and children, describing how a "repeat offender" just released from jail threw coffee on his young son in the stroller. The offender had served eight months of a 12-month sentence …
