It was very hairy getting her in, out, in, out, ouch man. And Mama T-B. was rather shaky and weak today to begin with, oh brother man.

Already there were ex-Mrs.-T-B., Cousin Mini-B., Cousinette Mini-B., and a sullen Mini-B., si man. Lunch was a complete Thanksgiving spread in standard excellent ex-Mrs.-T-B. fashion, si man.

Upon return, we again dropped Mama T-B. at front entrance and repeated initial process in reverse, man si. We accompanied Mama T-B. to her crib, accompany senior she man we man. We got her in and she collapsed on her couch, out-wiped senior she man. If she had had to take one more step, she would not have made it, sigh man. We hope for consistent improvement in her fizzicle abilities, hope we man. So far, she remains determined, determined senior she man. If she concludes that her independent days over, she'll lose the will to live, si and sigh man. We T-B.-mobiled back to the casa, fended off highly interactive miu, and napped, zzz we man.

This is just about it... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hamas Offers To Release Hostages If Israel Agrees To Not Exist QATAR — In a promising development for over 230 innocent civilians held captive in Gaza, Chief Ismail Haniyeh extended an offer to release all the hostages. In exchange, he has asked for the nation of Israel to no longer exist. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/hamas-offers-to-release-hostages-if-israel-agrees-to-not-exist

The usual billion-to-one ratio of prisoners exchanged for hostages, and the supplied aid will probably be hijacked by the terrorists once it's inside Gaza. The ceasefire will be used for rearming. Completely foreseeable and highly stupid. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BREAKING: Israel and Hamas Reach Tentative Agreement on a 4-5 Day Ceasefire and Limited Hostage Release After a marathon six-hour cabinet meeting, Israel agreed to a temporary ceasefire with Hamas that will result in Hamas releasing 30 kidnapped children, eight mothers, and 12 single women, for a total of 50 hostages. In addition to the official word, other media are reporting there is more to the deal. Israel will release 150 Palestinian women and children now in custody. There is no word if they will return to North Gaza or be released into the refugee stream into South Gaza. Allegedly, 300 trucks of humanitarian supplies will be allowed into Gaza. I'm assuming this refers to North Gaza, where Hamas terrorists are surrounded as humanitarian supplies have been flowing into South Gaza from Egypt.
