haiku: Mind all aflutter,
She left her glasses at home
and her keys at work.

A mass expulsion of Afghan migrants could destabilize the region and fuel radicalization. The West should pressure Islamabad to change course.
All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

It’s not about an UNRWA teacher who held an Israeli kid hostage in his house.

Imperialism for me but not for thee?
It's wild that Venezuela is now holding a vote on whether 2/3 of Guyana actually belongs to them! Analysts suggest that Modoru may want military action to pump up his sinking popularity.

"Both the AU and the intl community place more weight on whether elections are held than whether they are free and fair. Sanctions/expulsions occur when there is a coup but not necessarily when elections are rigged or if an “institutional coup” occurs." https://t.co/m9dNimJP0D

Good one.
I still don't know where she got all of those damned tootsie rolls.
by Oxy Mora on Fri, 11/04/2011 - 4:56pm
Thanks. That made me laugh out loud. :-)
I think tootsie rolls were competing with mary janes when I was a kid for most bagged candy at Halloween.

Yeah, when I was a kid they handed out Mary Jane in my neighborhood, too…

Hippie drug slang like
Bogart, Roaches, Mary Jane ...
Seems a bit quaint now.

I don't know why hot cocoa tastes so good when the ground is snow-covered.
And Grandma...
Well I have made it clear several times that my Roman Catholic Grandma was the meanest white woman in Minnesota. hahahahahaha
Oh but she could cook.
And she played the piano and sang like Jeannette McDonald. hahahaah
Great memories Smith!

I have often wondered what having grandparents would have been like. I never knew any of mine, mostly because they died before I was born. Fortunately, I was able to use my mother's godparents as my substitute grandparents, so I did have the occasional old person to go to for a dime for the ice cream man when my parents said it was too close to dinnertime. ahhh, memories indeed.
