Nope.

for 5 days.

Lol!!!!!

Tomorrow will be groceries. Ugh!

Glad you could find something you liked.

Here's the text:

Democrats got a huge win as Republican billionaires are no longer going to be able to fund dark money express advocacy ads without having their identity disclosed.

CREW, who filed the lawsuit against Crossroads GPS and the FEC, said in a statement:
The Supreme Court today denied a stay, and lifted a temporary stay by Chief Justice Roberts, in Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s (CREW) landmark dark money case against Crossroad GPS and the Federal Election Commission (FEC). This decision, following similar decisive decisions by the district court and court of appeals this week, means that effective immediately, anyone making more than $250 in express advocacy ads — ads that tell viewers who to vote for or against — must now disclose the identities of all contributors who gave more than $200 in a year. They must also identify who among those contributors earmarked their contributions for express ads. Because of this decision, the contributors for a major category of dark money spending this fall will have to be disclosed to the public.

The cell phone I was hoping to upgrade to is no longer available, and my brother's girlfriend dumped him. I was the shoulder upon which he could 'cry'. Oh, and I forgot to buy Chardonnay.

Oh, and the Stink Bug invasion has started. Not as bad as last year, but still pretty annoying.

Didn't notice any rules or regulations posted.

Anything will do.

Well, that's not 'technically' news, but it is uplifting to see.

Yes, I saw that 1/2 moon last night. It felt auspicious in some way. I will look again tonight.

My son feeds them to his turtles.

They do enjoy a good Stink Bug buffet.

Of course there have always been natural disasters.

But do you remember when we lived in a country when there use to be "slow news days'? Remember the days when they had "human interest" stories on the news and days when CNN sent Jeanne Moos out on assignment to report on the street signs in Greenwich Village or about some guy playing a bongo drum in Times Square?

Now, every day we are bombarded with nothing but misery.

An old friend just called to tell me that she learned that her granddaughters next door neighbor is my grandson. They figured it out through Facebook.

Small world. 🌎

my grandson was facebook friends with his wife's Nana.

She is an awesome baker. Finally she made cookies, even edible gluten free ones, that I take to my clients. I am buying from her instead of a local bakery. She had to trust herself. Today was my first $400, purchase!!

Great for everyone!

my kid's land. Building begins Thursday!

But it is his 1st step

and no bells or whistles around here it's cheaper than an older house on the market. Basically you can't find a house this small in good shape. 900 sq ft. if that. There is always major work that needs to be done...new roof, old electrical (which means tearing out walls.) Plumbing leaks that caused so much damage that floor joists were rotted. We found repos that held promise (in the ads), but they were tore up. In one there was no way the human & pet feces & dead rat smell would ever go away.

Then there was the one that had so much mold on the inside that it was starting to grow on the outside.

from my retina specialist.

Four years ago I was getting a shot in my eyeball every month then every six weeks.

Now I'm in good shape.

Also good, Medicare paid for it so thank you to all you taxpayers.

Amazing what can be done with medical care. I am happy for you too.

They totally fixed it!

It was a tiny blood leak behind my retina. I would have gone blind in that eye had it been untreated.

It worked just like Fix-A-Flat!

I've just been diagnosed with the "wet" form of macular degeneration myself and started the shots last month. I hope they help. My specialist wants to do it for one year. I had heard that Medicare would pay for it plus I have a G plan supplement.

The concept of getting a shot in your eye is much worse than how it feels.

The feeling is transitory pressure, not really pain.

What I'm more interested in is does it help?

n/t

They're cute and friendly. So friendly I was afraid a fox would get them. Jet and Tabitha.

Best news.

I'm just a sucker for a pretty face.

I woke up this morning without a tag on my toe.

That's an old line from my brother.

He already likes the co-workers and management. Big plus is that he is making $5 per hour more.

RESCUED! PETA's rescue team spotted this terrified and abandoned dog in Lumberton, North Carolina on the porch of a flooded home with no way to escape the rising #HurricaneFlorence flood waters and were able to bring him to safety ❤️

OMG that dog need rescue - PERIOD. Skinny, scarred, mange... damn!

calm him and to let him know he was safe. Now that's a real man.

That poor wet kitty still dog paddling even though he was out of the water.

And the dog with what looked like mange--how long had that poor guy been suffering like that? That couldn't have developed in just two days.

Animal rescuers are superheroes in my book.

There are lots more but this is what I found after ten minutes of searching. I hope you feel better. The world has some wonderful people and things in it.

Best news I've heard in a long time. Best way to be uplifted is to hit the streets and talk to people about voting for Democrats.

She’s a freshman living in the dorm, a big transition for a shy only child, and she’s doing great. Kids been through some tough times - her mom (my brother’s wife) died 2 years ago - and I’m so happy to hear this.

...maybe tequila?

It's the Instagram feed of Oceana, an organization dedicated to saving the oceans, and I loved looking at the pictures of the beautiful creatures who inhabit the seas and shores.

even if Atty Gen'l fired, Grand Jury handling Mueller investigation can continue it's work, prepare a report, make it public, and forward it to Congress.

I thought it might be a religious website, but appears that it is not -- that's good news too, IMHO!!

She has an undergrad degree in costume designing and will head up WB's extensive costuming department for a fabulous salary. AND, I will be accompanying my husband to conference in North Hollywood and will be able to see her and her family and tour WB's rather large campus.

I'm particularly interested in seeing that display of several costumes from famous movies. The actual costumes from "My Fair Lady" are on display. And they have little carts that we can access since I am old and arthritic and can't walk very far.

It's all good!

I had submitted two poems to a periodical with zero hope of getting them accepted..........but yesterday the email told me they were delighted with my work and the poems will be published in October!

That felt so good. It's been a while!

Will you please share them with us?

Jungle - Heavy, California

Blood Orange - Charcoal Baby

I see it is under the "media" heading for good news. So, does that mean no personal good news?

As you can see, the "good news" offerings have been pretty thin on the ground just lately.

So it looks like any good news would be welcome - and we sure could use more of it right now!

There's plenty of good news. Turn off the tee vee.

I went to the doctor last night and am antibiotics, so I should feel better in a few days.


Is this good news?????
