Wynn has his appointment at the university this morning. Robert took this picture of him a couple of days ago. He always only plays with these two toys even though he has a wide selection. It's funny because Mia never plays with these two. She knows they are Wynn's. People were asking about him so I thought I'd share this. He's still doing OK. The kidney issue has settled down with the special food and blood pressure medication. His one eye looks weird in this picture but it is just the camera angle. Anyway we will hope he can get his infusion today if the blood count is good. Thank you for your concern and positive thoughts for our brave lad. I bought the tartan collar for him in Scotland last summer.

I agree with yesterday's comments here about DT. There's not much else to say besides what all of you have said. This morning the news hosts and commenters are starting to think the poor treatment of the trans-gender people in the military could be a diversion tactic to draw attention away from the Russia probe/Sessions situation. My heart hurts for the trans-gender community, they have already been through so very much. DT promised to protect their community during his campaign. What a horrible, horrible man. :(

Cheryl - Beautiful graphic :)^

Wynn looks so handsome with his tartan collar (a little bit of Outlander there :P )

Sending some Cruzer Mojo that his blood count is normal and he can have the infusion. :X:

Dogs are so funny with their toys. Maya must have about 40 spread out on all 3 floors of this house. Her favourite is the long furry
animals that squeak at both ends and she loves ripping out the fluff. Every day she plays catch with Alan, we have 3 mini tennis balls
that she retrieves and brings back. She is also good about sharing when visiting dogs come here and take her toys.

I totally agree with you about DT trying to divert the Russian scandal and using the trans-gender military decision. He has hurt so
many people, this man is an egotistical, narcissistic monster. :angry:

Today is babysitting day for Jossy and Aaron, it's pouring here so no outdoor activities with them. :unsure:

What a tragedy for the sea eagle nest, all the way around, with even the young intruder losing her life. Nature is so difficult sometimes with not always a happy ending. So sad. :'( :candle: :^^^:

Carole, you'll have fun with the kiddos whether inside or out. It is clearing up here, so you may get lucky. I loved Maya's toy story - such a good girl sharing ... and the cute games she plays with the tennis balls and leaving her toys all over the place. Mia does that. I find toys up in the bedrooms and I know it must have been her. Great bird graphic again today, these are so nice to see daily.

G'day Peeps my Friday. Its suppose to rain. Currently the sun is shining but there are fast moving, darkish clouds out there. We have another 'out' day today, I want to get a couple of pictures framed. Bob has a physio appt and we need to get our absentee voter stuff sorted as we are away for State Elections. Australians get FINED if they dont vote!

Cheryl, keeping Wynn close to my heart that he continues with good health.

Have fun with the kids today Carole!

Funny video Jill!

I agree about DT, but 'enf said.

Nature/Life can to be so tough. The seaeagle nest is a particularly one to my heart. Not only is it close by but also that entire area where it is located used to be toxic industrial area. A huge cleanup has restored the site, but of course remnants of pollution remain. That is why they did the toxicology testing.

I cooked my last homegrown pumpkin last night, and it was the biggest. We'll be having soup for the next three nights! :blink: I suppose I could freeze some, lets see what Bob wants.

Rachel sent me a 'please bring' list. One item is rather bizarre, she says she cant get it there. Micropore 1inch thick in tan

Tomorrow is my yard day, hooray!

I may not have a dog, but Snowy has a bunch of toys too..... and at least 4 boxes and one big semi transparent plastic bag that he just loves to charge into and out of.

Anyone for Cat Fishing?
 :lol:

Hey Carol, you have every right to believe and speak up for you beliefs here. and I respect your opinions so I can rationally discuss and actually agree with a few. But there are a few I dont agree with and I would like to take a non aggressive approach to you with your posting, if you dont mind. Lets break it down a little:

Carole - Morton - KLJinOZ - Cheryl - DT has EVERY RIGHT TO BE ANGRY and has
a right to vent on twitter /He has a lovely family and he and his sons and family are being
verbally abused and trashed /

I think we need to know what you mean by 'trashed'.

There is NO reason to disparage his wife and son, I absolutely agree. They are not political.

If you are talking about his SONs, Daughter and Son in law (Kushner), lets look at the FACTS

1. Sons and SIL met with a Russian lawyer. This lawyer is instrumental in Russian adoptions to the USA.
Please dont insult our intelligence by telling us that these people did NOT know what the meeting was about, the email trail is clear, they did know it about about getting bad information about Hillary (which may or may not have affected the election).
I strongly urge you read this SENATE hearing (not fake news) about what this Russian Lawyer was attempting to do:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/bill-browders-testimony-to-the-senate-judiciary-committee/534864/

Just to connect the dots for you, the Russian lawyer is the same one with whom Trump sons & Kushner met with about information on Hillary (or Russian adoptions, which ever you choose to believe).

2. Daughter and SIL
a. Neither have any government experience. Both sent overseas to deal & negotiate with International Governments. Both were laughed at.
b. In particular, Ivanka claimed Women's Rights and Made in the USA yet both (and Donald Trump) continue to sell products that are NOT made in the USA. How are they suppose to lead with hypocrisy?

In addition, against all previous history in the USA, the President has appointed family members who are NOT qualified.
This is called NEPOTISM.
Yes, Kennedy appointed his brother as Attorney General, but Robert was a qualified lawyer.

The news papers ARE NOT TRUTHFUL

I have to agree with you too. This is why RESEARCHING the information is so important. Here is my favorite website to check information. This 'checker' is apolitical and checks ALL politicians. For example, check out what the site says about Obama.

www.politifact.com/


They are for the other side / It's funny isn't it that no one can say anything about Hillary /Yet she leaked hundreds of confidential emails which was proven by the FBI yet they said they wouldn't prosecute


Firstly, Hillary didnt LEAK emails. They were HACKED. And Hillary used a private unsecured email server against Govt policy.

Things WERE said about Hillary! A lot of Democrats didnt want her to run, and there was information she pulled the rug from Bernie Sanders. Again, check, check and research.

and before that it was a fact that she and her husband removed antiques from the White House / They did have to return them /

You are listening to the media spin. CHECK YOUR FACTS here are two websites confirming that this is incorrect:
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/oct/01/viral-image/viral-image-wrongly-accuses-clinton-stealing/
http://www.factcheck.org/2016/05/the-clinton-furniture-flap/

There are more that confirm this if you care to google.

Then Pres. Obama could not produce his birth certificate for years to prove he was born American Citizen

I dont even know how to respond to this because it has been proven time, and time again, over and over that Pres. Obama IS BORN AMERICAN. If you choose to think otherwise, then you fall into fake news and the very hype that you accuse the media of (lying).

/ And all the years every one was saying that Obama care needed to be done away with / Pres DT was doing something about it but was thwarted at every turn /The other side who were sore they lost are destroying him in the Liberal newspapers and news media /

Wasnt it the Speaker of the House Mitch McConnell who FIRSTY obstructed Obama? Oh, here is the truth, out of Mitch's mouth:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-A09a_gHJc

And by the way, its not OBAMA CARE, but the Affordable Care Act where millions of American Citizens could finally afford to have the opportunity to purchase medical coverage. Isnt that better than YOU paying for medical coverage for everyone else?

Again out of mouth of Donald Trump saying that Australia has a great health insurance system (and we have FREE coverage that the tax payers cover!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqKoSqzWxs8

Real America acted like adults / Had manners / There is a late night host that comes on every night abusing DT / When someone bullies someone iike that they are arrested but every night he comes on with his tirade /

I agree about the manners. Why cant people be civil. I'm trying to be here with you.
The first time I witnessed uncivil, angry behavior was with President Bush. From the outside (as I do not live in the USA), I saw Bush start a war on false premises (weapons of mass destruction that never were found) and Cheney whose financial interests embedded in the company Halliburton who made millions from this war. So many people were angry with this. The Govt LIED about the war.

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/jun/09/arianna-huffington/halliburton-kbr-and-iraq-war-contracting-history-s/


The side who lost is known as the "shadow government" doing everything they can that Pres DT cannot be successful /

I am not sure who or what you are referring to here, but will assume you mean the Government structure that is supposedly 'Democrat' ion support of the functioning of Government offices. DT promised to 'empty the swamp' yet, with respect, he appointed people who completely inexperienced with running a Govt Dept or had vested interested (and not for the people but for industry). Some examples:

Besty DeVos - Education Secretary ~ No Experience. Spent MILLIONS in funds to the Republican Party and the appointment is seen as a payback.
She wants to implement 'coupons' that each parent can use at any school, including self homed children and private schools.
I wouldnt disagree with such a move. We have that in Australia. The biggest difference is that ALL schools in Australia have to meet particular benchmarks and follow a particular syllabus. What DeVos wants to implement has no such parameters. Its a free for all! A dumbing down of America!

Rick Perry - Energy Secretary ~ no experience. Took a phone call from Russian media comedians to talk about expanding American coal exports to Ukraine and other energy matters. Coal is a shrinking business, mostly due to its negative environmental impacts. Which brings me to my last example (and there are many more):

Scott Pruitt - EPA ~ a lawyer (good, like me!) and past Congressman. The problem here is that he supporting the withdrawal (as well as Trump) of the protective legislation for the people of the USA of their natural resources. Do you want to see the National Parks plundered for coal, iron, copper? Do you want to see your water polluted with industrial waste? Do you want to see an increase in air pollution? Well, he is the wrong guy to have as head of the EPA. As a representative of the State of Oklahoma, he did not protect the natural resources:
https://stateimpact.npr.org/oklahoma/2015/10/01/challenges-and-progress-cleaning-up-one-of-oklahomas-most-polluted-places/

And this is NOT MY AMERICA / It was a long time policy that transgender should not be in the military for many reasons until
Pres Obama changed the law /


Here we have a difference of opinion and, as mentioned, I respect your opinion. 18 countries in the world allow transgender. I have NO objection to someone wanting to service their country regardless of their private decisions. If you think that the cost to the military to 'host' such people, this has been proven negligible (google it!). Please tell me what is wrong with someone fulfilling an administrative position with respect to their private decision? Or even active military duty, if they pass the tests!?

Now all the values of America, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not kill,l Do not lie, Do not commit adultery, are all being taken away and how many innocent people are being killed daily in the streets that never happened before /

What sort of person is Donald Trump to cheat on his 1st wife?!

The violence in America is appalling. I put that down to uncontrolled gun laws. Look at Canada, minimal violence there (and good gun laws). Look at Australia, fantastic gun laws and minimal violence here.

I fear for the USA, going down the track of anarchy. Look at what happened with the Bundy family, taking the law into their own hands. Criminals.

I weep for America and for my G children and for my GG children growing up in a lawless world /
Me too Carole, Me too.

America is made up of immigrants / Pres DT is NOT against LEGAL immigrants who come for a better life LEGALLY and want to follow the laws and become citizens and respect our country / So why would anyone object to his trying to stop all the ILLEGAL ONES / All the people who don't care about the truth and just swallow what they read /


I have to agree with you. People should obey the law and respect sovereign national borders. Too long have people entered the USA without the appropriate visa. But what to do with children who have been brought to the USA by a parent. I dont see any thing humane about making them leave a place that is, in essence, their home. Its a really, really hard dilemma and not easily answered.

And to all a"GOOD NIGHT"?


And good night to you Carol. I hope you dont take offence at what I have written. I'd like to qualify with what I have responded with that I have a degree in Politics and Modern History. I try to see both sides. But when one side is so delusional, its hard to be objective. I am absolutely appalled at what I see is the hidden agenda of the current administration. Why are we allowing Russia to interfere without repercussion (thank goodness the Congress have taken steps to ensure Russia is punished).

Why Why Why does Donald Trump hire someone such as Anthony Scaramucci as Communications Director?
To me, it reflects Trump's poor judgment and appalling choices.

I am saving Kath's discussion to read later when I'm not at work. It looks interesting.

I am all for rational discussion. I agree everyone is entitled to their opinions, but don't get mad when we post them.

For Carol - I have one question. If you think the press is lying about Trump, what makes you think they were telling the truth when they were saying all those ugly things about the Clintons and Obama?
