“Shouting and bawling, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton evaded answering questions last Wednesday about why the Obama Administration and the State Department misled the American people regarding the Benghazi attack on September 11 last year:”
Thank you, Bernie – you call ‘em like I see ‘em. The only thing I’ll add - she ain’t stupid. A cold, heartless, calculating bitch, yes – but not stupid.
Bend over and grasp your ankles…here it comes…
Percie Anne was a sweet little rescue kitty we adopted back in 2004. One of our veterinarians had found her on the side of the road near death and nursed her back to health. Though she had pretty severe respiratory issues/allergies, she was a happy but sneezy little girl. (Still finding kitty snot in unusual, out of the way places.) She eventually grew out of those allergies and became our “greeter” cat. Unlike our other kitties, whenever friends came over, Percie was out in the midst of any activities. Paperweight, house mother – she ran the place…
Sadly, we had to make that tough decision on Tuesday. Cat-shaped hole in our hearts again…
Rest easy, little one.
From the little ball of fluff cornered by the neighbors’ dog – to the grand lady you became…
You charmed us, stole our hearts and spent ten all-too-short years with us.
You will be missed, little one…

Borepatch’s Dad has passed away - he sounds like a man I would have loved to know.
Like Borepatch and his Dad, my Dad and I spent some years alienated from one another. I count my blessings that we also patched things up. Go read a tribute to a man well loved and a life well spent.
Oh, and make that phone call, write that email or pay that visit – Borepatch is right – what are you waiting for?
We lost a dear friend and shepherd Thursday, January 27th, 2011.
Carol was our pastor at Mineral United Methodist Church for eleven years. Beyond being a wonderful leader for our church, on a personal level she was our family’s rock during times of joy, sadness, pain and trial.
(Know what I mean, brother o’ mine?).
She will be missed.
“Carol Martha Rogers ThorntonEarly on the morning of January 27th, Carol began the final part of her journey home, fully expecting the one more surprise her Lord promised her long ago. Carol had a very difficult year with many hospitalizations and much suffering. She made the decision to come home, and with the help of her family, church, friends, and Hospice sought God’s complete healing. Shortly after making this decision, Carol told her husband, Jim, that she had fought the good fight and was now ready to meet her Lord, Jesus Christ. She died two days later.
Carol was born on November 23, 1945 in England at the rural Whitheather Lodge at the foot of Woolly Hill. She was a “war baby” born to her father, Arthur, a U.S. soldier, and her mom, Ruby King, a British citizen, and member of the British army. Carol came to the U.S. on Easter Sunday in 1946, a U.S. citizen. She is survived by her mother, Ruby A. Rogers; her husband, the Rev. James W. Thornton, Sr.; their children, James, Jr. (Jay) and Julie Hull, five grandchildren: Sarah, Delaney, Rachel, Macauley, and Zachary; a sister, Susan Gauthier, an aunt and uncle, several nieces, nephews, and cousins both in the U.S. and in England.
Carol grew up in Richmond, VA, graduated from John Marshall H.S., and attended college in Richmond. She worked as a secretary, an administrative assistant, and a medical assistant. After completing the Course of Study at Wesley Theological Seminary, Carol became a Local Pastor in the United Methodist Church. She served churches on the Eastern Shore, Albemarle Co., and retired from the Mineral – Mt. Pleasant Charge after an 11 year appointment. She was an effective minister as a lay person in her church, a pastor’s spouse and a clergy person.
Carol’s entire adult life was devoted to helping others, and both preaching and living the message of God’s love found in the gospel of Jesus Christ, God’s son. She will be missed by all who knew her. Carol would want you to believe Isaiah 43: 1-5 in the Old Testament.
In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to any of the following: Mineral UMC, Mt. Pleasant UMC, both in Louisa County, or Ivy Creek UMC in Charlottesville.”
Carol, we weren’t quite done with you yet…
If you don’t mind, give Dad one of your famous “Carol hugs” for me…Rest in Peace.
Damned dust in my eyes…
My condolences to the family.
“Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the longest-serving senator in American history, died Monday at the age of 92, a spokesman for the family said.
Byrd, a Democrat who served in the U.S. Senate since 1959, had been plagued by health problems in recent years and was confined to a wheelchair. He had skipped several votes in Congress in the past months.”
