What's cookin' for Easter weekend?

 Four days off. Thank goodness. We up here in N. Ontario got buried in the last week. The worst behind us now. 

As for what's cookin': I will be preparin' a huge stew, one of my specialties. Then each day of the weekend I will enjoy a bowl with maybe a salad or some dinner rolls.

My stews tend to be thick and rich, and spicy. Lookin' forward to a bowl a night...........................by myself.



You see, a certain young lady has left me. For Easter no less. You're thinkin' yeah this is one of her trips back home to see her daughters. You would be right. So why didn't I go with her. Her stay will be a longer one. Her one daughter is gravely ill, and has been for years. But now worse than ever. So Geri will be staying a few weeks to tend to her. If the medical profession has ever failed someone it is with her daughter. They have done every possible test under the sun and still don't know why she is at death's door. She is a tall lady of 5'6" and weighs only 80 lbs. They put it down to Fibromyalgia.

So, my friends,  here I will be chowin' down on my stew, chased with some Jack Daniels, and hopin' some of my friends here in Canada will take pity on me and invite me over for dinner. (I suspect some might, but to be honest - and don't tell any of 'em I said so - depends on WHO invites me, some of 'em are fun to be around, some not so much). 

AND of course, I might be hangin' around here more than usual though I 'spect you have your own Easter weekend plans and won't have much time for lonesome ole SNOWFLAKE. BUT keep an eye open if you got a few minutes and drop by and say hi anyways.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Image
Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
