It wasn’t a compromise that Potter was willing to make, so she took the matter into her own hands.

I wanted to show you guys my purple arm but the picture is too big. If somebody can tell me how to make my picture smaller, I would appreciate the help.

Been offline for a few days....

AngelKitty you poor baby!

Many, many hugs to you.  Glad you're home.  Been in the hospital a couple of times myself and there's nothing like getting home and washing off all the hospital funk and sleeping in your own bed.

Here's to a speedy recovery.....

Thanks for asking about Pat, boes.  He's getting a little better everyday...still gonna be awhile but all signs are good.

It's horrific how out of hand the Jair Bolsonaro administration has allowed the deliberate setting of fires has gotten. The news out of opposition news outlets 'suggest' (because they will be shut down and jailed if stated directly) that the populist-leaning/army-friendly Bolsonaro administration and family are financially benefitting from logging and Big Ag industries. These questions were broadcast by Fernando Haddad (PT Party), Bolsonaro's opponent, before the general election, and shouted down by PSL Party media and advertising.

'Until my last drop of blood' tribe vows to protect Amazon -- In the heart of the Amazon, the Mura indigenous people have vowed to protect their traditional land amidst threats from farmers, logging and raging fires. Michelle Hennessy reports.

Unfortunately, the same problem has been plaguing Bolivia, too -- It’s not just Brazil's Amazon that is on fire, Bolivia is facing its own disaster

Scripture teaches us when we fight for justice, it is not only our justice, it is justice for our neighbor -- Johnson & Johnson Opioid Ruling in Oklahoma  

• Johnson & Johnson Ordered to Pay $572 Million in Landmark Opioid Trial

• What the Oklahoma Johnson & Johnson Verdict Means for the Future of Opioid Litigation -- A judge orders the pharmaceutical giant to pay more than $500 million.

• 2017 was the worst year ever for drug overdose deaths in America -- Nearly 200 people a day died of drug overdoses in 2017, based on preliminary federal data.

• Oklahoma opioid ruling is a very good start

• Why Was Johnson & Johnson the Only Opioid Maker on Trial in Oklahoma? 

• Puerto Rico is under a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch as Dorian approaches

• No, you can’t just nuke a hurricane. But there are other options.  -- Scientists are looking into ways to weaken hurricanes to limit their destruction.

• I flew back to LA this morning, and an airport coffee shop, that will not be named, was dispensing their seasonal air fog to unsuspecting travelers … It's back! The greatest trick capitalism ever pulled was making you want a pumpkin spice latte

• Stock buybacks exploded after the tax cuts. Now they're slowing down

• Insiders are selling stock like it's 2007

• It takes a concerted effort by The Powers The Be to dismiss 400 years -- How history textbooks reflect America’s refusal to reckon with slavery -- Textbooks have been slow to incorporate black humanity in their slavery narratives. And they still have a long way to go.

• Severodvinsk, Russia -- Nuclear-powered’ missile accident in Russia – what really happened

• Families transformed by gun violence -- At least 272 mass shootings have occurred this year in the U.S., according to the Gun Violence Archive. People who have lost their loved ones in past shootings talk about how the attacks have changed their communities forever.

Mourn. Pray. Repeat.

Victims' families describe living with the grief brought by mass shootings: "It was like I died" -- Marquez-Greene didn't understand why forgiveness is so frequently picked up as a narrative after shootings.

"When did this become my responsibility to absolve the person?" Marquez-Greene said. "Because I feel like it's another way to let folks off the hook."

Ultimately, Marquez-Greene thinks the country needs to stop putting people in the position she's in now.

"We cannot as a nation say that is okay, because I didn't sign a 6-year-old up for war. I signed her up for first grade," she said. "We have to address the injustice that we are visiting on American families. It's like a hell's lottery, where if you lose today, you lose today. And that's not OK."

• It is VMAs tradition for the recipient of the Video Vanguard Award to give an extended performance to remind us of what makes them so great. And Missy Elliott’s medley as 2019’s Video Vanguard honoree was a stunning example of the form. Elliott gave us the giant trash bag look from her iconic video “The Rain” and created live-action spectacles of her dance hits, including turning “Pass That Dutch” into an alien invasion with people getting beamed up into a spaceship hovering above the stage. Elliott’s relentless performance made a strong case for renaming the accolade the Missy Elliott Video Vanguard Award from this point on.

Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott crushed it!

when i had my hip replaced the doctor prescribed me opioids for pain.  i took them for a couple of days but while in the hospital they had to give me shots of gravol too as i got so sick from them.  then when i got home the rash that started in the hospital got worse and i had to go see my gp doctor.  she said it was obvious i was allergic to the medication and she tried a different one.  that one made me sick too so i had to just tough it out.

[Cupid Stunt]

I was given a 2x renewable prescription for 30 Vicodin (90 total) after my brain salad surgery. I took the recommended dosage and was nauseated for hours afterward. I called the surgeon while embracing the toilet, and she prescribed compounded buffered Dilaudid, which worked much better.

After the Dilaudid 'script, I completely understood how easy it is to get addicted to opiates.

Hi everybody, I'm out of the hospital and home again.  I had an MRI immediately after I got there and it showed no stroke happening again which was a good thing since they obviously couldn't give me that special blood thinner again.

Neal Casal, Guitarist Who Worked With Willie Nelson, Shooter Jennings, Dead at 50

Neal Casal, the influential roots guitarist who played with Willie Nelson, Shooter Jennings, Ryan Adams, Phil Lesh and more, has died at the age of 50 died by suicide. “Neal was a gentle, introspective, deeply soulful human being who lived his life through artistry and kindness,” read the announcement of his death on his Facebook page August 27.

Best known for his work as the lead guitarist in Ryan Adams’ backing band the Cardinals, Casal also played with the Jayhawks, the Chris Robinson Brotherhood and the Hard Working Americans. As an in-demand studio musician, he played on records by Nelson, Jennings, Lucinda Williams, Amanda Shires and Tift Merritt. Casal was also a prolific singer-songwriter in his own right, releasing numerous solo albums and founding the group Circles Around the Sun. 

“I am absolutely devastated,” wrote Jennings on Instagram. “[Neal] was my always my favorite picker in LA and we’d just finished some beautiful music together.”

As a teenager, Casal became obsessed with the music of the Rolling Stones and the Grateful Dead. “Those groups opened my eyes and ears to the best music, literature, film and art of all kinds,” he said in a 2016 interview.  “I bought every record and book that they ever spoke about in their interviews and tried to follow their instructions on how to dig in and do good work.”

Casal spent the Nineties primarily making music as a solo artist, releasing his acclaimed debut album Fade Away Diamond Time in 1995 before eventually teaming up to play with Adams in the Cardinals a roughly one decade later.

“Mine hasn’t really been a rock star life,” Casal said last year. “Granted, I’ve gotten to travel the world and see a lot of things that other people haven’t. Some of the other life building events that people go through… I haven’t had some of those things. It gets harder as you get older. I’ve definitely had an amazing life in music. That’s for sure. I’ve got to make so many records, tour, take photographers, write songs, meet new friends, and all of that.”

May you find the peace that eluded you in life. 

[jewel21]

Ah, Maxwell. I’ve seen him before; he’s quite the character, lol.

Thankfully Steve doesn’t talk, but he will scream in protest. I have to be sure when taking him to the vet to leave him in his cage till the last moment or I’ll never catch him. And then I need to throw a blanket over his carrier or he’ll scream the entire time. 

Oh, AngelKitty, your poor arm!! I was thinking about you today. I’m so happy it wasn’t another stroke.
