Boy, the kitten who went out on Halloween was a real saga, wasn't it! And I LOVE that little film about "The Maker" with its creepy little rabbits!
Debra: The kitten story and the "Maker" video were remarkably effective pieces!
You have a lot of interesting and thought provoking links here. Some made me stop and think while others just had me shaking my head. Again . . . I couldn't pick a favorite one. Thank you for sharing the interesting insights. Wishing you well, my friend! Stay Safe!
Someone should track down that blank piece of paper tRUMP signed and write his resignation above the signature.
Trump being attacked by Satanists on his twitter feed? Egad! What a bunch of losers. How about he is sick because he's an asshole who has been tempting fate since this pandemic began.
I liked the little maker rabbits just like Debra.
As always, thank you for the links here and elsewhere! Hope you're hanging in there -- only 29 days to go (not counting mail-in and early voting!)!
Always so much fun going through all the links you share! Thank you! And I hope you've been keeping well.
Dellgirl: Thanks! Always glad to provoke some thoughts.
Mike: They'd have trouble working in enough spelling mistakes to make it convincing.
Lady M: Yep, no Satanists needed. He's a curse unto himself.
Hackwhacker: And thanks for all the work you do posting about politics! We'll be getting ballots here in Oregon soon.
Martha. Thanks! I've been staying careful.
Even though I haven't watched the show in years, it's hard to believe that the Kardashians have been televising their lives for 20 years, and have decided to move on. Some of those quotes are truly over the top too!(lol) Hope you're doing well! Hugs, RO
The congressional race is also very important! People think it’s just uncle Joe and Cheeto, but no.
Oh, the Kartrashians. Poor, stupid dears. They’re laughing all the way to the bank, too.
XoXo
