she fell again and had to have surgery on her other hip.
this is the fourth trip to the er since last fall.
needless to say, i'm not having a good week.
Jeff,
So sorry to hear this. Did your mother actually break both her hips?
This happened to my mom about 8 - 10 weeks ago and it has been rough in more ways than just the hip surgery and recovery alone.
Even with this reminder to be very careful, I fell recently (in condo in Mexico, husband took a shower, didn't use a bath mat, water on tiles that were like glass, I came along and whoooooop!) fortunately didn't break anything, just bruised up.
obama speaks at us war cemetery on d-day landings anniversary.
"united states of america is and will remain the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known.".
on may 28, obama delivered a commencement address to the us armys newest officers at west point, where he argued america would remain an empire forever.. .
Other than the Revelation bits, I agree with all posters' comments.
As my pa used to say, "Might makes right."
if you do not know what i am talking about, google about it.

DOC, you beat me to it.
All I would add is, that it depends on what you mean by "collapse."
for those of you who live in truly first world countries (uk, australia, canada, etc etc) you can skip this.
for those of us stuck in the usa, not a first world country at all, please feel free to read on.. i've done my best to be fiscally responsible my whole life.
i bought my first house at age 25. and because of having a little loot to protect and not wanting to end up in some overcrowded emergency room waiting hours to be seen by doogie howser, i purchased health insurance.
but Obama care is a disaster.
You are brainwashed and do not know what you are talking about.
leaving the university with my degree!.
exams are finished and it's just a matter of days before i walk.. i was certainly stressed about doing this.
i'm older than my classmates and armageddon was sooooo close!
Awesome!
i just heard on breaking news about a shooter in kansas city.
he is in his 70s and has a decades long history of antisemitic hatred.
i believe he killed three people near a jewish center.
The guy is a lone nutter.
Problem is - he's not. There are lots of right-wing terrorists out there.
i feel like i wasn't allowed to read a lot of books when i was younger, a lot of which i'm discovering are positivly phenomenal.. i was allowed to read edgar allan poe, who remains my all time favorite writer.
but, i've discovered the joys of stephen king, anne rice, joyce carrol oats, neil gaiman, george r. martin, david sedaris... and so so so many more.. i'm currently getting through "the shining" so i can move on to "doctor sleep".
i'm interested to see if anyone else that discovered the many joys of "worldly" literature, jumped immediately into what they weren't allowed to read... and what was your favorite?.
Well, you have many delights ahead! So many good story tellers......
Reading was always my salvation - I could sit in a corner and be ignored.
Currently reading Ken Follett - Fall of Giants. Just finished To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. So many good books, so little time.
i went with my neighbor to an outdoor shooting range in the pawnee national grasslands in colorado.
its about 2 hours northeast of denver.
it was awesome.
Yup. Gunz are not found in nature. Which is why I don't have one and my inner-city children/grandchildren don't have one.
You need to kill for food? Grocery store is way easier and cheaper.
the guardian tues 25 march (julian borger).
"russian actions are a problem.
they don't pose the number one security threat to the united.
An opinion piece by The Guardian? I hope no one takes that too seriously.
wifey says she wants to go to see the special effects.
i suspect she wants to go to see russell crowe.
if you want to see special effects watch gravity.
Looks like a possibly good flick. I would like to see it totally separate from any judgment about the truth of the story.
