09:19 – Happy anniversary to us. Barbara and I were married 33 years today, on September 10, 1983.
We’re not doing anything special to celebrate the occasion. We don’t need to. Just knowing we’ve been married 33 years is enough of a celebration in itself.
Congrats. You know how you should celebrate? You should bottle and label chemicals! What fun!
Nah, we’re taking the day off from work. Barbara is heading over to the historical society this afternoon for her first volunteer session.
Congratulations! And many more to come, we hope.
Another sunny day w/blue skies up here, but I’d seen rain in the forecast for the weekend, so we’ll see. We could really use a chit-ton of rain; lake is still down about three feet.
Mrs. OFD off to the horse barn about fifteen miles east of here in the real sticks and later we’re going all the way down to lovely Montpeculiar to retrieve her Saab from the shop. Again. But at least this time nothing was apparently wrong with it and it got an oil change. It’s a 70-mile drive each way, and the closest Saab dealership.
In mundane IT nooz here I was trying to find a way to blow away the “Recent Files” stuff in Mint and used several different commands to zero effect. Turns out it was a simple mouse click in the Settings>Privacy window. Go figure.
Depending on the rain situation, I hope to get a few things done outside today and tomorrow.
Our 20-year marriage anniversary won’t be until 2018 and our ‘reception’ into the Roman Catholic Church with its anniversary in 2020 (via a special dispensation from the Holy Father himself in Rome under in favorem fidei)
But it’s the second marriage for both of us; she was widowed in 1992 and I was divorced in 1996. Tempus fugit irreparabile.
Congratulations ! Good work on the 33 🙂
Just 44 for the wife and me last Thursday. We did go out to one of our favorites. Good old fashion steakhouse, dark with red leather booths, bar and another old guy playing piana in the corner. Been around as long as us. Had a great prime rib.
Yeah, one thing I’ve noticed is that, with the exception of some youthful indiscretions, nearly all our friends and close acquaintances, young and old, got married and have stayed married.
Congratulations to you and Barbara on the big 33.
FYI, the traditional gift given for the 33rd wedding anniversary is the amethyst.
You mean you married before getting the dispensation?

To loosely parody Peachy Carnahan:
“Degenerates ‘e called us. Degenerates! It were bloody degenerates like us that built this bloody empire!”
Yeah, wife and me and a bunch of other degenerates on here are the Early Boomer cohort. What the writer forgets is that a chit-load of us early boomers also fought in the Indochinese and various Gulf wars. So not all of us are hopeless pieces of shit degenerates and loath what our generation has done to the country.
Congratulation Dr. Bob and Ms. Barbara from this “deplorable basket” Vet, WHITEY!, cishetero, gun nut, raycis, xenophobe, Islamaphobe, proto-ape fukstik.
Hey, don’t forget “nativist,” “homophobe,” and “degenerate.”
Also, don’t forget to check yer privilege.
Channeling Cankles MrAtoz?
While Cankles is channeling one of the minor demons, probably…
….Berith, Mammon, Sonneillon…
I yam wut I yam.
Basket of deplorables.
Taki tees off on the useless Murken media, basically totally in the bag rumpswabs for Cankles:

We’ve really got nothing anymore for decent objective news reporting in this country. Unless someone else here has a suggestion?? Drudge? He just collects stuff. I mean a traditional newspaper, magazine, radio or tee-vee operation whose main function is to report the news.
You’re a potatohead, MrAtoz, but you’re sweet.
I try to skim a wide variety of news sources, and I try to make up my own mind about issues that matter to me (not that most of the headlines contain any interest in my world). Ranting bloggers are not a very good source of news (or do they actually have some valid inside sources) and Drudge cannot seem to link to anything other than (mostly British) tabloids.
I have a list of news sites (national and local) that I spend a few minutes on, each day,
every few hours… and I don’t think I miss much that matters (or that isn’t deep secret anyway).
Wow, bug out places in TN are cheap !

“british tabloids”
– mainly because they aren’t beholden to the US political class, and because they’re tabloids, they will print first and fact check second.
Despite being written by interns with english as a second language, and having spell check turned off, the UK Daily Mail does a better and more honest job of covering the US than the US media. They do hate Disney and guns, but they’ve run a couple of neutral gun stories, are starting to say ‘gang violence’ instead of ‘gun violence’ and have even run a couple of dead goblin stories (successful defensive use of a gun, resulting in one or more dead bad guys.)
Zerohedge for financials and doom and gloom, UK Daily Mail for politics, funny animals and girls in bikinis, bloomberg for the disinformation (last paragraph rarely matches the headline- usually opposite), and whatever your local rag is for local news.
Personally, I don’t look at local news, unless I’m looking for storm aftermath coverage.
Oh, and Infowars and lewrockwell for the “fringe” view. Of course, it pretty often ends up in a major outlet within a few months, and most people are pretty good at skipping the really crazy articles.
nick
The DM and RT both have more and much better photographic coverage of stuff.
ZeroHedge likewise plus StraightLineLogic.
Local rag mainly for local crime intel/police blotter and anything to do with our lake shore and immediate local town political issues, like a new highway department building or a new salt shed for them. A second local (county) rag for more crime/cops stuff and the comics, including old-timey stuff like the Katzenjammer Kids, They’ll Do It Every Time, and PopEye.
InfoWars for entertainment, but I don’t consider the lewrockwell site “fringe” at all.
Also chronicles.org for that magazine’s articles (I also subscribe to the print edition) and blog; the flagship medium for us paleoconservatives.
barnhardt.biz for us wacko traditionalist Latin Rite Roman Catholics who know full well that Benedict is still legally the Pope, though he’s no bargain, either. The current guy is yet another anti-Pope. Our last good pope was Pius XII.
That pretty much covers my news scanning on a daily or every other day basis.
But I’ve also started looking at those three overseas news sites I posted here the other day. News unfiltered through the standard-issue Murkan Newspeak centers of Bos-Wash and the Left Coast.
Oh man, I have somehow lost my Texas Concealed Handgun License. The replacement cost is $25. At least I can get a replacement here in Texas. If I were in New York State, I would probably have a dozen troopers show up to search me and carry me in for losing an important government document.
Of course, now I guess that I will get a Texas License To Carry.
Go for it, Mr. Lynn!!!
Yeah, in the Vampire State or the Peoples Republic of Taxachusetts, you’d be up that proverbial creek w/o a paddle and subject to being SWATTED while they “investigate” you for a few months.
And here is the latest Woodpile Report from ol’ Uncle Remus again:

Indeed. Avoid crowds and solve your short- and long-term food situation. I’d add, water, and any critical meds.
This guy has a bunch of patches for some of us here:

Congratulations, and many more to come. We just did 48.
There is a report Cankles almost passed out at a 9/11 event. I wonder who will pick it up? I read it on twitchy.com
You’re a potatohead, MrAtoz, but you’re sweet.
I have my eye on you, sir. Tater Tot jokes anyone?
CNN, NBC/MSNBC, Reuters…
lead story on zerohedge
In more cheerful news:
SAS sniper hero ‘killed an ISIS terror leader who was about to incinerate hostages with a flame thrower by shooting its fuel tank from 1,500m’
A top ISIS executioner was moments away from burning 12 hostages alive
The SAS marksman fired a single 50. round at the flame thrower’s fuel tank
Bullet caused explosion which killed the feared ISIS leader and henchmen
Rescue operation took place in village near Raqqa, Syria earlier this month

A British sniper took out a feared ISIS executioner as he prepared to murder several hostages by shooting a fuel tank on his back and incinerating him.

She is in obvious distress as the van pulls up, being held up, falls even though being held by 2 people.
edit: MSM reports said she went to the van unaided. Too bad that there is video evidence to the contrary. I bet the video “disappears”.
“A British sniper took out a feared ISIS executioner as he prepared to murder several hostages by shooting a fuel tank on his back and incinerating him.”
It’s good to know some
peoplebad ass mother truckers know what needs to be done.She is in obvious distress as the van pulls up, being held up, falls even though being held by 2 people.
I also notice that several people gather around her to shield the event from prying eyes.
Hillary’s health is failing badly. I would like to see her prescription list. I bet there are lots of drugs involved to mask problems.
The lizard inside is dying and the skin suit has begun to rot?
n
Oh she will probably drag on for years. After all she has health coverage that any of us could only dream about. And she pays nothing for such including premiums, copays and deductibles. You would not expect her to actually be like any of us poor serfs and subjects.
Now that the video of Cankles is on multiple sites, the MSM/BLM/Progs are saying her stumbling and falling was because SHE LOST HER SHOE! LOL!!! It wasn’t hot in NYC and she didn’t almost face plant because of her fucking shoe. She’s ill. And, of course, she picked the ugliest sunglasses in the world to wear. What a wreck.
She staggers, like she’s rigidly locked her knees. She’s only vertical because she’s leaning back against the bollard, and the dark haired woman is holding her under her arms. As soon as she leans forward, she has a spasm, and collapses into the van.
Relevant video and pulled frames:

It’s pretty damning.

From the comments on another site:
“Soros let go of her puppet strings.”
I LOL’d
Best comment from Mr. Nick’s post:
“She is Shovel Ready.”
lol! Coffin Cankles is going down. Six feet, that is.
Yeah, that one was awesome too.
n
Daily Mail running a loop of the zoomed in video at the top of the page.
CNN sticking with the party line:
“Hillary Clinton not feeling well, leaves 9/11 event early” “Hillary Clinton appeared wobbly Sunday and stumbled as Secret Service agents helped her into a van to depart the 9/11 commemoration ceremony early.
The Democratic presidential nominee felt overheated,”
At MSNBC it’s not even the top story, they’re going with a stock photo of her, and “Hillary Clinton feels ‘overheated’ at 9/11 memorial
Hillary Clinton abruptly left a 9/11 memorial service in New York City after apparently feeling ill Sunday morning, NBC News has learned”
aljazzerra has NO mention whatsoever.
n
Mr. Ray is correct that she has the very best of medical care that us Dirt People can only dream about, but that’s a damning fact right there; even WITH that, she’s falling apart. She must be really fucked up. I’m guessing two or three serious medical conditions; she may not make it to November, let alone January and the time after that. Husband Larry Klinton is also in pretty bad shape. The two of them are not far from the gates of Hell.
Now the news is saying she has pneumonia. She was dehydrated and and overheated at the event. I call bullshit. You don’t overheat at 80 degrees, you don’t dehydrate when you have been drinking water as I am sure she did at the event.
She has physical problems, the pneumonia is simply a cover up to hide the real truth, truth being something the self appointed bitch queen has never known. I fully expect her to blame the pneumonia on the cheeto head poisoning the water. Or at a minimum the half of the population that are deplorable.
