 ANYONE can participate. What do YOU wish for and who do YOU wish for in the New Year? Easy to say Peace on Earth and Good Will towards man and all that, but be specific. Have a New Year's wish for another member on here, or someone in your family, or to the world in general? My list: I wish Susan, if she is peeking in, would let us know she is ok. I wish others who have left, but might be peeking in, would stop by and say hello. I wish ALL of our remaining regulars good health, because last year, we lost one I know of, and maybe more I don't know of. Seems we have an aging group, so wishing good health is necessary. I wish Geri and I are finally able to find a new place to live. We aren't happy with our apartment and have been looking hard for the last year, without luck, at new abodes.  I wish my son, who is currently living in Australia, will either finally settle down there or come home. I wish the nastiness that has infested itself into politics, especially in the U.S....

  Bunny now done with end of year cleaning.  Pretty much a huge pain, but glad it was done.  Bunny doesn’t mind heavy cleaning, but done when needed, no because the calendar says so. Bunny pretty clean.  Don’t like clutter, but not fanatical about it. What about you?

Various people said various things about stuff. Trump & MAGA stuff: “One CBS article about his immigration crackdown said Trump ‘invoked muscular presidential powers,’ which is a bit like saying Jeffrey Dahmer ‘displayed omnivorous taste.’” “There was a time when it would have been scandalous for a sitting U.S. president to use the office to serve his personal business interests, but that was back when America had attorneys general who didn’t think an emoluments clause was the disclaimer on a moisturizer.” Regarding the “Trump” to “Kennedy” name for Washington’s performing arts center: “He asks not what he can do for his country, but what his country can name for him.” “He’s in good shape because he beats so many dead horses. It keeps the arms and shoulders up.” “One of the reasons MAGA conservatives admire Putin is that they see him as an ally against their ultimate enemy — the ethnic studies program at Columbia.” Regarding Kash Patel (FBI) and Pam Bondi (DOJ) failing to substan...

  New Year’s Eve is on the way.  Is it something fun for you?  Bunny could never see the thrill of getting drunk, and then counting down the last few seconds.  Standing in Times Square, with a million other people, freezing, just to wait for the ball to drop.  No thanks. How is it with you?  Do you celebrate it in some way?  Don’t care? J. P. Bunny

A group of ladies I know, very religious, are all excited about the upcoming sermons and events at their local church. In the past, despite being an atheist, I have been invited to church Christmas celebrations and actually enjoyed them. Not for the sermons, but for the music and atmosphere. I even have a small collection of religious Christmas songs. Hark The Angel Sings and all stuff like that. My favorite Christmas band - The Trans-Siberian Orchestra - is largely Christian based. After all, Christmas is supposed to be ALL ABOUT the birth of the Christ child. Except, it isn't. Jesus was NOT born on Dec. 25 So, question is, what is Christmas REALLY about? Or another way of putting it, what has Christmas become? There are far more Santa movies than Christ movies. Ask any kid and they will say Christmas is about Santa. Ask most adults and they will say it is about time off work and family gatherings. Ask ANY cynic, and they will say it is all about the................ COMMERCIALIZAT...

Not the usual way.  Too many years, internal organs and joints giving out, but the more amusing signs.  For Bunny, it is making “that noise” when getting off the sofa or out of the car.  Or, always see railings on steps and ramps as something welcoming. Any such signs for you? J. P . Bunny
