I haven’t posted anything in over a month…not even a card or a letter.
In blog time, that’s like a decade.
So, some of you might be wondering if I’m dead … or worse.

Did you worry that I gave up blogging? Well, I almost did! I discovered this new-fangled mode of communication. You should try it. People don’t sound like their words at all. It’s super duper!
Nah. Not dead. Still floating in the blogosphere.
But that virus that infected my lungs was a stalker virus. I think it still might be lurking somewhere.
If you invested your money in Puffs (with lotion), your profits will be nothing to sneeze at in the first quarter of 2016.
But it hasn’t all been fun and games in bed over the last month.
I’ve been busy keeping up with all the news that’s weird and wonderful in Portlandia.
Let’s see what’s been happening while you’ve been preoccupied with national politics.

Seriously? Some men have major ego (and other) issues. Oh, the snake was not a python. Well, he still has major issues.

I know there is a big article here, but could someone please explain to me in simple terms how ANYONE could put a collar on a wild wolf by mistake? Seems like a lot of trouble to go to when you weren’t specifically instructed to do so.

Okay. Either this is the Trump Little League (the best, smartest, richest, winningest, biggest Little League EVER) so it was worth the risk or this woman ruined her life for peanuts. And I mean that literally.

Have you ever seen happier, more relaxed (a.k.a. disheveled) worshipers? I’m beginning to see the attraction of organized religion around here.

Hey, don’t get mad at me. I’m just letting you know what happened to the jolly old gent who should apparently limit his driving to reindeer-powered sleighs in the air after children (and police) are asleep.
Reading all that news has kept me busy. Plus life around here is filled with distractions like, um, one 22-pound white perpetual source of laughs and love.

Yup, this little munchkin is keeping me busy. We’re now in obedience class. I’m progressing quite well. Fozzie is, too.
How about you? Any zany news from your fork in the road? I’d love to hear from you!

I’m so happy he does. He is really, really cute. Also, he’s very photographable.
Is that a word? I made it up. LOL
May 10, 2016 @ 11:18:15
Fozzie is the best! He makes me laugh every day. 🙂
May 10, 2016 @ 04:19:06
I wondered how I had missed this post then realized I was on a cruise with no internet. Once I arrived home, I deleted every notification. Who could catch uo on 2400 e mails. DELETE … gone. 😳
I’m pleased you still kicking. Fozzie is a cutie.
Toodles … Izzy 😎
May 09, 2016 @ 15:10:28
Oh, good! So am I! So is Fozzie!
May 09, 2016 @ 15:08:19
I’m smiling.
May 09, 2016 @ 15:08:01
Oh, I’m so sorry I never answered this message. Shame on me! I just stopped checking my blog site. 😦
May 09, 2016 @ 15:07:05
Took a long time to recover and then life got in the way…again. Oh well. I’m back for now!
Apr 21, 2016 @ 10:30:28
I hope you’re OK, Lorna. And love Fozzie. Thanks for the laughs!
Apr 21, 2016 @ 10:10:44
Yesterday when I was walking the dogs I saw one that looked like yours and started to worry about you. Are you okay?
Apr 21, 2016 @ 09:59:00
Thanks, Peter!
Apr 03, 2016 @ 13:05:46
How did I miss this. I was thinking this afternoon that I should write to you again and I thought I should just check your Blog and, blow me down, here’s a post from you. I do hope you get better soon but you are far from forgotten I can assure you 🙂
Mar 21, 2016 @ 12:48:57
Sure hope you’re on the mend now. Sorry you were sick, but looks like your mind kept busy.
Mar 17, 2016 @ 17:39:03
Oh my … and I was thinking a dizzy blonde could figure it out. 😉
Mar 17, 2016 @ 13:00:55
Thanks Lorna. Slow, long, but recovering. 🙂
Mar 17, 2016 @ 12:09:09
I fear that he will not soon be forgotten.
Mar 17, 2016 @ 12:08:27
Can you imagine putting a snake in your pants? I mean, seriously? 😐
Mar 17, 2016 @ 12:07:38
Oh, so sorry to hear you have it. I know your pain and it does not want to let go once it has a hold of you. Take care of yourself!
Mar 17, 2016 @ 12:06:50
Yup, bizarre to the MAX!
Mar 17, 2016 @ 12:06:19
Foz is SO easy to love! ❤
Mar 17, 2016 @ 12:05:50
That boy is cribbing from MY notes. He would be lost (and I do mean that quite literally) without me! But I would be kind of lost without him, too–so we’re even!
Mar 17, 2016 @ 12:04:34
Say what? You don’t say! Say goodbye, Senator Rubio. I never thought George Bush would seem like a moderate Republican. I’m speechless.
Mar 17, 2016 @ 11:59:21
It’s a dastardly slow process. Must be I’m getting old!
Mar 17, 2016 @ 11:58:48
Sweeping sawdust?
Mar 15, 2016 @ 12:55:02
Cute little furry bundle! Glad to hear you’re still alive. I’ve been sweeping sawdust again. 🙂
Mar 13, 2016 @ 10:36:08
I’m so glad you’re not dead! Thanks for bringing us all up to speed with the news. Now get better!
Mar 12, 2016 @ 18:34:02
Good to see you back in the saddle. My news is typical stuff – volunteering, handbells, wine, ballroom dancing, and whatever else comes along.
Zany news is always easy to find … especially in this political season … I heard Sen Rubio say this – “I didn’t say what he was saying as I said it one time.” … I’m relying on you to translate for me.
Mar 12, 2016 @ 16:20:06
Glad to hear your doing well in obedience class. Does Fozzy let you crib from his class notes? 😉
Mar 12, 2016 @ 10:48:16
So good to see you and hope you’re on the mend. Always enjoy you breaking news! Lovin’ Fozzie
Mar 12, 2016 @ 10:25:31
Hi I was glad to see this pop up! but take it easy still and cuddle up with your lovely doggie. Your local news sound like a microcosm of what’s happening in your country politics – bizarre!
Mar 11, 2016 @ 19:26:08
I think I caught your respiratory virus. Killer flu knocking down a lot of people. I hope you’re on the mend. 🙂
Mar 11, 2016 @ 15:05:00
Is that a snake in there, or are you just happy to see me? (I had to do it – as soon as I saw that article – sorrrreeeee). :-0
Take care. Heal! Stay here and blog when you have chance.
Mar 11, 2016 @ 10:26:17
Yes crazy. And agree not funny.
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:51:52
Thanks, Laurie. I am feeling better and I hope I have built up an immunity to whatever is still circulating out there!
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:50:41
I’m pretty much there…I think. Thanks, Harry! 🙂
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:50:12
The national political farce is a kind of crazy even I can’t find funny. 😐
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:45:55
Except for a very short story being published in the paper, I’ve managed to stay out of that paper. I’ll do my best to maintain that record! 😉
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:44:18
I wonder if there is enough of that in the country for us all to forget about him!
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:42:47
Oh, I heard lots of words about Trump. I just tried to sing happy songs with my raspy voice. Nothing worked but some really potent cough syrup… 😐
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:40:37
Too funny! Let’s hope that zany people never go away! 🙂
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:38:32
Finding stories like these is the only reason I subscribe to the newspaper! 😉
Mar 11, 2016 @ 09:37:45
I know what you mean! Being a journalist around here is never boring!
Mar 11, 2016 @ 03:02:17
Good to see you Lorna! I can’t get past the trouser snake (mentally, not physically…or spiritually).
Mar 11, 2016 @ 01:00:56
Make sure you get better, your blogging friends are always thinkng about you. You know Lorna I haven’t read a paper in years…[see your humourr is still there at the forefront}.. missing out by the look of it. 😉
Mar 10, 2016 @ 19:03:52
So relieved to hear that you’re not dead, Lorna! That is some nasty virus that gotta hold of you. I love Fozzie’s sweet face…what a darling!
I just shared a story to my Facebook page about a cop who pulled a woman over who had a fifteen foot tree stuck in the grille of her car. Here’s the link so you can see it for yourself: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/cops-stop-car-with-tree-wedged-in-grille-charge-driver-photos-go-viral/ar-BBqsgbm?ocid=sf
Thank goodness for all the cray-cray people out there who bring mirth and laughter to our lives!
Mar 10, 2016 @ 17:55:31
Being sick really sucks, Lorna. But I gotta say, I’d rather read the weird news you’ve been reading than what I’ve been reading. You didn’t hear a word about Trump!
Mar 10, 2016 @ 14:35:20
One look into those devilish eyes and I can tell Fozzie is a full-time job. But what a cutie!
By the way, you are never allowed to get sick again. And make sure you stay out of the local paper yourself!
Mar 10, 2016 @ 14:21:07
I think your zany corner covered it for the western U.S. As for the rest of the U.S. the political happenings are a good match for your neck of the woods. Luv ya! ❤
Mar 10, 2016 @ 13:23:57
Blogging can wait just get well.
Mar 10, 2016 @ 13:17:05
Hello, Lorna! Actually the other day you came to mind. I noticed you hadn’t been blogging. Sure hope you feel better quickly! The articles were interesting. Take care!
