Plumnellie posted on Dogs, Cats & Critters  Our dog Silas is a sport. We got him and his brother as pups and they grew into Pete and Repete of pranks. Many a morn I would see evidence in my yard that they had raided the garbage bags of a new mother and littered the grass with bits of soiled diapers. Today is their birthday. I honor the two scamps with love and gratitude for being in their lives. Paul, Silas' brother was begged away from us by two darling children so we only have Sir Silas now. Dogs are God's gift to us. I love kitties too but don't need any at this time. Happy Birthday Paul and Silas: ) October 23 at 09:53 EST .    4 people like this.    Yottyhere  How old are the "boys" Plum?

Plumnellie posted on Suggested Reading  Due to expense we have stopped buying books and turned to the library. I get a stack a week or so for me, my Mom and hubby. Since Mom is 89 and losing some sight we have been attacking the large print books. We ran through all the Nero Wolfe books, even ordering from other libraries. Next we 'discovered' Jane Duncan. Her 'My Friend..." books are amazing and entertaining. We marched through all the Agatha Christie and discovered how good a righter she really was. My husband veered off on his own and read all the books he could find on the War in the Pacific. Reading is our greatest joy. I m hoping dear Mom keeps her vision all her days. Oh, another author we revisited was Jane Austin. I am about ready to re-read all the Arthur Conan Doyle titles again. Love me some Sherlock. The older books suit us better than current ones. Just when I start letting down my guard..the liberal bashing of conservatives hits me in the nose and ruins the book. Am playing it safe with the books we read these days. Oh love the Maigret series too. September 19 at 17:08 EST .    4 people like this.    Plumnellie  Oops meant rediscovered how good a writer Agatha Christie was. Sigh.

We got a machine where she could put books under and read them (large print didn't work anymore ). We also enrolled her in the Braille Institute. She could order books to listen to on tape, for free. She was happy about both. September 19 at 21:10 EST .   3 people like this.    Rollingcow  You can get Audiobooks at the library, my MIL does all the time when she isn't borrowing them from me. Many, many classics are on audio from Jane Austen to Edgar Rice Burroughs, you should try one and see if you like them.

Imagine the expression on her face! Christie and Wolfe were favorites and good mysteries. But the reasons for the murders all made sense. The modern-day ones (especially the serial murderers )are too twisted and sick, they are not fun. I like Louise Penny and Evanovich-Plum series for entertainment. Any other suggestions?

I'm not too sure about the 'Evan' series since I haven't read one, but her 'Royal Spyness' series takes place in the '30's and while she mentions sex there really isn't any in them. Her other series is about an Irish immigrant named Mary Murphy I believe, it doesn't have any thing too risque or out there as far as the murders go. I find them refreshingly innocent for modern books. Mrs. Cow September 21 at 00:42 EST .   3 people like this.    Judith  Our library also has e-book material.

Plumnellie posted on Main Page The Lobby  Beautiful day in Mississippi. I am encouraged that Bachmann is tied with Romney in Iowa. Time for establishment Repubs to wake up. Read the long article about Bachmann and am very impressed. She and her husband are self-made in that they are reliant on the Lord but work for everything they have.

Plumnellie posted on Main Page The Lobby  Josh touched many lives. He had a special way of making 'family' out of those of us who love Lucianne.com He also did not truck with frauds and impostors.

Plumnellie posted on Jokes  Never Represent Yourself A man was on trial for robbing a convenience store. He didn't like the job his attorney was doing, so he fired him and represented himself. He was doing a fine job until the manager of the store got to the stand. When she identified him as the robber, he jumped up and yelled, "You're lying! I should have blown your head off!!" He paused, then added, "If I had been the one that was there." It took the jury only twenty minutes to find him guilty. He was sentenced to thirty years.

Plumnellie posted on Main Page The Lobby  We got a glossy folder with a dvd from 'Tea Party Patriots". They want donations, naturally. Does anyone know anything about the group? So far we have not though to donate to a national group..only supporting our loosely organized local one. Would like to hear from LDotters who know of this group. Thanks. December 31 at 08:38 EST .    5 people like this.    Starlady  I am cautious about financially supporting any of the national Tea Party organizations. I do think the Patriots are fairly focused on promoting the constitutional principles and supporting the state and local patriot offshoots. Some others seem to have political undertones within the leadership of the groups that I am leery of. Perhaps if the dvd explains how the funds they seek will be used that could help you decide. Our local Tea Party groups need financial support and individual constitutional candidates need our financial help. That pretty much does it for me, except for supporting the Conservative Senate Fund because I trust Jim DeMint and he is picky about the candidates he supports. December 31 at 08:53 EST .   4 people like this.    Plumnellie  Thank you Starlady. Your thoughts mirror my own. Funding at a local level is our first concern, then conservatives running for office in other states..if they are endorsed by DeMint or Palin. The dvd is good. And, does in fact propose to do good things. And yet...all groups start out with good intentions: NRA, AARP..and we all know they get hijacked by liberals. This happens in church denominations too. The strength of the Tea Party movement has been the lack of focus on a leader. May it remain so.

Maybe we are just lucky that way You are so right about groups and churches. The earliest Christians met in homes, all the big church buildings and cathedrals and stuff came much later. My church group still meets in homes. December 31 at 10:50 EST .   4 people like this.
