Cooking day. Pre-Thanksgiving prep. Pumpkin pie (from a sugar pie pumpkin from our garden); apple pie (apples from our tree); rolls; fresh cranberries sauce; make ahead mashed potatoes (potatoes from our garden); and some dip for the appetizer tray. Rest is made tomorrow. Taking the dog for a short hike too...need to stretch the legs and breathe in some fresh air. Have a great Wednesday everyone.

One of the reasons I like to host Thanksgiving dinner is that it forces me to do a deep clean of the house. I always keep things tidy - but not necessarily deep down clean. So today I am taking a firehose to the house.

The interior walls need a fresh coat of paint but a cleaning is all I have time for today. Seriously need to get at some painting projects though. I hate painting and have been procrastinating. (sigh)

Wow ... just heard that Walker's campaign has asked Republicans to stop this deceptive fundraising practice: "At least four committees, one of them associated with former President Donald Trump, have kept 90% of contributions solicited for Senate GOP candidate Herschel Walker." nbcnews.com/politics/2022-elec

Someone has learned his lesson:

New GOP Congressman-elect George Santos doesn't seem all that eager for the Republican-led House to launch investigations.

"My constituents didn't send me here to waste time, they sent me here to work... I don’t want to engage in hyper-partisan issues, I want to deliver results"

Documents show six nations spent more than $700,000 at Trump's DC hotel, a rare case of foreign governments spending money with a sitting president cnn.it/3g6NDTY

Those of us that talk politics are asked to use the hashtag . Could people talking about religion do the same courtesy and use a hashtag like , so that those who are interested can find you and talk that topic with you, and those of us that really don't want to hear about it can filter it out?

Anyone else got sweaty eyeballs?

Hell of a day. My elderly Boxer (dog) has cancer and has been very ill the last several days. Got her to the pet urgent care today and thought it was "the last trip" for her. Lab results though indicate pancreatitis and a related liver flare up that likely is NOT related to her cancer and is treatable. I am exhausted but grateful that she is home and on her meds... and will be with us for yet a while longer before eventually having to make that last trip. Hugs your fur babies everyone.

Three huge differences between a 50-50 and 51-49 D majority:

1) Having a majority on each Committee versus power sharing/deadlocks requiring discharge petitions;

2) No single D Senator can hijack/block nominations; and

3) Ds can have *two* members absent and still hold votes.
