Just a little of this and that...

 

Today is my Brother-in-Laws, Glenn's,  birthday.  I know he does not know about this site so I feel safe in saying the following.  My sister was married to him for almost 30 years before she died (sad sigh) is he still considered my brother-in-Law?  No matter, he is a friend for life.  Happy Birthday my friend.   Which reminds me of today's cartoon - - -

My side of the family but to tell you the truth there is not even that! ! !

Coumadin level was at 2.7.  So... that means my levels for the last 8 weeks have been within the "normal" range.  Good news , not that it was that big of a deal, is now I am at a 6 week interval for having my blood checked.

   Speaking of which, I have not received the results from the bone marrow testing conducted on the 22nd of Oct.  The oncology/blood doctor is only here once a week being his practice is in Silver City, but one would have thought he would of called me.  To be honest I'm a little bit of afraid to call them but I also realize if the results were bad, you know darn well they would have contacted me.

Even though I thought I would not do any election crap again.  I could not pass up this story.

Senate Minority Leader: No Tax Hikes

With conservatives across the country concerned about a rumored Republican cave-in in Washington, D.C. over tax policy, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is speaking out. Read his lips: no tax hikes.

McConnell said in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News:

One issue I’ve never been conflicted about is taxes. I wasn’t sent to Washington to raise anybody’s taxes to pay for more wasteful spending and this election doesn’t change my principles. This election was a disappointment, without doubt, but let’s be clear about something: the House is still run by Republicans, and Republicans still maintain a robust minority in the Senate. I know some people out there think Tuesday’s results mean Republicans in Washington are now going to roll over and agree to Democrat demands that we hike tax rates before the end of the year. I’m here to tell them there is no truth to that notion whatsoever.

The media has already taken House Speaker John Boehner out of context to claim that he is willing to cave on raising tax rates. In point of fact, Boehner has spoken about closing tax loopholes while lowering tax rates as part of a balanced approach to spending to avoid the much-dreaded fiscal cliff. Both House and Senate Republicans are united in their opposition to tax hikes.

One just cannot make this crap up ..... jeeeeeezzzzzzzz

 Dead Texas liberal wins state Senate seat

HOUSTON (UPI) -- In one of the more unusual races, late Texas Democrat Mario Gallegos beat his Republican challenger for a state Senate seat.

Gallegos, who died last month, remained on Tuesday's ballot because he died less than 74 days before the election and the liberal Hispanic easily won re-election to his Fort Worth-area seat posthumously.

"He was always there for the community," long-time friend and retired firefighter Juan Hernandez told the Houston Chronicle.

Gallegos died of complications from liver disease in October.

"Every person who came up to me was like, 'Didn't he die?'" Cynthia Gallegos, his youngest sister, said in southeast Houston where the family gathered for Election Night. I would bite my lip and explain the process. We want to keep the district Democratic.

Under Texas law, Republican Gov. Rick Perry will declare the seat vacant and schedule a special election within 45 days.

Gallegos' brother-in-law, Johnny Villarreal, smoked a hand-rolled cigar from the winner's private humidor and said, "He (Gallegos) will be smiling all the way."
