Every now and then, someone will complain to me about their comment being shunted to “moderation.” The implication is, I am punishing them for some unknown affront. This is never the case. True, posts with certain words—use your imagination—automatically will be held for moderation, but this is seldom the problem with the rare posts that do, for unknown reasons, get sidetracked. I just dumped the moderation queue. There were only 65 comments that had accumulated over months and months. Not too bad, I’d say, but I will try to do a better job staying on top of the comments that, for whatever reason, wind up in moderation. If it happens to you, don’t take it personally. As I’ve said, I almost never nix a post for any reason.

I do feel awful. I do not remember being I’ll with respiratory problems entire year. 6000 miles, I get home and catch something.
Jackie, if not *considerably* better tomorrow, see your primary care physician or visit your favorite Doc-in-the Box shop. If I hadn’t gotten treatment on Day 2, I might well still be ill…or worse.
Also, I don’t want to lose anyone else to pneumonia.
Promise I will do that. When I woke up feeling bad I realized what a wonderful run I have had. I am high risk respiratory all my life, yet I cannot remember last time I had respiratory infection. That feels so good and today I don’t.
I have not had my flu shot yet but keep up pneumonia ia.
Good girl. And get your flu shot.
I had intended to take my friend to get her flu shot last week, but in the confusion surrounding getting her checked after her fall, failed to do so. A good excuse for a day trip back, perhaps? That and the fact we did not make it to some eateries I wanted to visit.
What Ghost said, Jackie!
Mark, how many cats do you have?
Observations from a Sunday NFL game:
1. One of the New Orleans coaches has moobs.
2. Some things you can’t unsee.
3. The “celebration dances” players do when they score a touchdown have gotten so esoteric I swear I saw one WR mime preparing an omelet.
4. Working the sidelines can be dangerous, also. The “ball guy” got hit so hard on a running play that went out of bounds he almost lost all three of his balls.
5. If NFL cheerleaders’ costumes are designed to emphasize their boobs and derrières, the designers have been wildly successful.
6. Two words that do not say “expert halftime commentary”: Lady Gaga.
7. Someone who should not wear a NFL cheerleader’s style costume: Lady Gaga.
8. Some things you can’t unsee.
9. I don’t think the 2016 Saints are going to be like the 2009 Saints. (But to be fair, they are hanging in today. So far.)
10. It’s time to break out my pink shirt again for Brest Cancer Awareness. (Yes, I do own a pink shirt. Why?)

Back in this period I roomed with three of these high kicking darlings. I spent my off time massaging.us let spasms so they quit screaming in pain.
They are the grandmother’s of all .oder drill teams and cheer leaders. This is for you Ghost.
Dang the Kilgore Ranger greatest did NOT all ears magically. Let me try agsin.
Jackie, also agree with Ghost.
Sand, hi to a fellow Flint Hills roots Villager. Thanks for letting us know. Concerning ranching, one of my Chase County cousins, with help from her son, still runs the family ranch—TS registered Herefords and quarter horses. We had the great pleasure of spending several hours seeing the mares and foals and some of the cattle, and I asked my usual questions to find out how it all worked. Later on the week I got to ride a corn combine in southeast Kansas with a cousin from the other side of the family and find out how that worked. Good times with family.
Jackie, just back to read after posting. Hmmm. Usually I can translate Halian, but “Kilgore Ranger greatest did NOT all ears magically” stumped me.
I was trying to post photos of the Kilgore Rangerettes beautiful high kicking lines. Then I went back and began reading about their discipline. Three hours of practice five days a week, personal training, exercise, weight control, makeup and hair, grooming.
This was the group that was the beginning of all those girls Ghost is admiring. Their motto is beauty knows no pain.
I recall seeing the Rangerettes performing at bowl games, or in the Macy’s Thanksgiving, or perhaps both. Obviously boots, very short skirts, and cowboy hats made an impression on Young Ghost. Had I known those long, lovely legs needed massaging, I’d have been there in a flash to assist you. 😉
Smigz, had three indoors. Unfortunately, mom’s part time caretaker took her out to lunch Friday as a going away present. She did not close front door tight and an hour later I found the door standing wide open and all house cats gone. Two have come back, and I saw the third yesterday while mom was moving out. All the commotion scared her further away and I haven’t seen her since.
Outside we have multiples who come and eat and at least two have two kittens each. Jackie and I had taken away 7 in May, but we are back to that again here now, at least.
They were usually in so much pain and so exhausted that’d be all you could do.. Those girls worked harder than the football team
Mark, I hope that your cats show up. Elvis got out somehow one night and I didn’t even know it until he knocked on the front door. The hurricane has me concerned as it may affect the northeast and I will be in that area for two weeks beginning next Friday. Also I must tell you that I have greatly enjoyed participating in our discussions and I feel that I have made some good friends in what we call The Village. As I have mentioned in the past I have been very fortunate in my life, but chances are I have around 15 years left and it’s time that I began taking care of many things that I have been ignoring. Therefore I will try to check in occasionally but it probably will not be that often. I wish the best to you good friends and of course I greatly appreciate the work that JJ puts into this area for our benefit. Jerry
Thank you Jerry. Be careful during your stay in the Northeast, and may the hurricane curve back out to sea, blowing itself out away from land. Take care and we will look forward to hearing from you again whenever you can check in.
I have been visiting with a young sailing friend who is an ICU nurse. He will camp out in garden and sail a couple more days. Weather is lovely and cool. I unfortunately do feel lousy.
Mark I asked him about SCA, he has friends in it and he says they are active around here. He said there were lots of museums and similar groups who need volunteers and docents. His philosophy is you cannot be bored or unhappy when you are doing something for othets.
Jerry zip was worried a out you in Florida so you are telling us you are going to be somewhere even more dangerous?
Come tour the Flint Hills of Kansas. It is not tornado season. Bring cats.
Mark I have decided to name your black cat Spot and the brown one Miss Prissy. I have Oreo, Ghost and Skipper for black and white cats along with Spot. I have to see if vet has a record of names of the two I inherited from my late pet sitter.
Don’t be a total stranger, Jerry. Come and sit a spell, when you can.
Humanitarian that I am, Jackie, I’d have enjoyed giving the leg massages, even if the young ladies didn’t get anything out of it besides unknotted muscles. And you never know… 😉
While culling old email, ran across the A&J series re the old man who stared out the window & saw Janis sunstruck on the lawn. Turned out to be a ret. large animal vet, and he and A&J became friends. JJ has depth. We are blessed. Actually, said that earlier today, to others re this afternoon’s BSO concert. Unbelievably good music for a town this size. Peace,
Debbe 😉 For at least the next three months, while my SiriusXM free trial lasts, I shouldn’t have any shortage of ideas for tunes for you. I heard this one this afternoon.

Good morning Villagers….
Came home to a pleasant surprise. Husband’s sister and her married daughter and youngest son were here. (She was Jason’s mother.) They came with gooodies: cooked ground turkey burgers, turkey stir fry, and two chocolate layered cream pies. Her son works at Purdue processing turkeys. The turkey burger actually was better tasting than ground chuck. Went to bed with more than full belly and slept like a lamb.
Jackie, get your butt to the doctor…today!!!!
Jerry, I will miss you badly and your little zingers…do make sure you stop in every now and then and let us know how you are doing and update us on Tippy.
Mark, that thought has crossed my mind. Ian and I have experienced, out of the corner of our eye, something dark moving just right after the hens start their ruckus. The whole house becomes deafening because they are so loud. (Cue in Twilight Zone music.)
….ya’ll have a blessed, safe Monday
GR 😉 bet you knew this one was coming 🙂
