Hoorah! You must feel wonderful, and deservedly so.

True and gracias, mam ma'am. Wednesday Mama-T-B. report, see man: We went to Mama T-B.'s crib again to pick up more stuff, dutiful we man. She wanted some clothes, necessary at rehab facility man. She knew precisely where these items were closeted, amazing and to wit man: "Hanging about 2 or Many from the left are these blouses -- 2 are blue, one is red, see man." We had to do colors by the process of elimination, slightly colorblind we man*. *courtesy of Grandpa T-B. as passed through Mama T-B., her fault man But we guessed right on both pants and both blouses, relief man. We also brought the other stuff, no complaints yet man. Mama T-B. reports that FT (Fizzicle Therapy) went better than OT (Occupational Therapy), report senior she man. She will have Many (2+1) Many-hour ([2+1]-hour) therapy sessions per day, good stuff man. Full Wednesday report this eve, report crepuscularly we man.

Wednesday means that it's time for our hilarious, upvote-worthy Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================ THE MARRIED COUPLE AND THE GENIE A husband and wife in their sixties were coming up on their 40th wedding anniversary. The husband, knowing that his wife loved antiques, bought a beautiful old brass oil lamp for her. When she unwrapped it, a genie appeared. He thanked them and gave each of them one wish. The wife wished for an all-expenses-paid, first-class, around-the-world cruise with her husband. Shazam! Instantly, she was presented with tickets for the entire journey, plus expensive side trips, dinners, shopping, and more. The husband, however, wished that he had a female companion who was 30 years younger. The genie smiled. Shazam! Instantly the husband turned 93 years old.

Countless lives would have been saved in Israel.

Stunning Poll Shows Majority of Young Americans Think Killing Jews Is 'Justified' [...] Americans have seen the blood and heard of the atrocities by Hamas butchers. Hell, they even Go-Pro'd and live-streamed their acts of barbarity — gouging out eyes, burning hands, beheading civilians. But notwithstanding Hamas's own evidence of crimes against humanity, the Harvard Harris Poll shows that a slight majority of 18-24-year-olds and slightly fewer than half 25-34-year-olds think the Jews had it coming to them.

Outrageous, yet unsurprising. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lack of accountability breeds mistrust on IRS leak With trust in the federal government at an all-time low, government officials should particularly avoid the appearance of bias and favoritism in all their actions.

Thrilling (?!!) Tuesday report, see man: Mama T-B. called rather early to say that hospital discharge would be around noon, unconfirmed man. She gave us another list of stuff to get from her crib, dutifully note we man. She said that it would be simpler for us to meet her in the new place after transfer, relax we man. We then got an e-mail from the hospital confirming noon discharge, news to Mama T-B. man. Lunch (hasty) was onebag of nuked mixed vegetables and a generic Excedrin, ingest we man. We got on the way to Mama T-B.'s crib, embark we man. We passed a voting location on the way and voted on the Texas Constitutional amendments, patriotic we man. At Mama T-B.'s crib, we first checked the mail, already delivered man. We discovered newspaper inserts with Arby's and Wendy's coupons, delighted we man. We rooted through the recycle bin to collect a bunch more, financially savvy we man. We then proceeded to Mama T-B.'s crib and collected the stuff, dutiful we man. We answered some e-mails on Mama T-B.'s behalf, advance permission man. Mama T-B. called to say that she was at the rehab hospital, come on over we man. We brought all the stuff, neatly bagged man. Mama T-B. complained about the nurse's aide, apparently an idiot he man. Mama T-B. insisted on inspecting/handling each brought item and stowing it/ordering it stowed, typical of ex-she man man. We tried to be patient with this, si man. Hospital pharmacist came in to confirm medications/allergies, sharp he man. Nurse came in to introduce herself/perform orientation, sharp (and cute-but-married) she man. Schedule for fizzicle* therapy seems rigorous yet kind, si man. *should be the spelling, si man Mama T-B.'s cell-phone cord was too short for room layout, not surprising man. We went to Best Buy for another, get longer one for ourself too man. Returned to rehab place, return we man. Mama T-B. complained (more mildly) that new cord was too long, man. Mama T-B. gave us a short list of more items to bring, OK man. We went back to crib to collect them to bring on Wednesday, dutiful we man. We were exhausted, out-wiped we man. It was evening rush traffic, didn't want to fight it to get to Wendy's** or Popeye's** man. **for each of which we had coupons, financially savvy we man We went to food court at mall, stood in line at only popular place there man. At the casa (after treating/din-dinning demanding miu), consumed heavy container of beef teriyaki + rice, ingest we man. Price ($Many) was a little above that of a full buffet, financially unsavvy but weary we man. Briefed ex-Mrs.-T-B., sympathetic ex-she man. Napped for nearly an hour, zzz we man. We conclude that this next 2-week rehab period is crucial, si man. If Mama T-B. recovers sufficiently to resume independence, sigh of relief man. If she does not, she will need skilled nursing, level above assisted living man. She will have to vacate her crib, sigh man. If this happens, she will want to die and will probably achieve that, willful senior she man. We find ourself worrying/hoping/praying, real potential pickle man.

Dated, but still good: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= WHAT TIME IS IT? A self-impressed businessman was afraid that his flight would land too late for him to make his business appointment. He strode forward, banged on the cockpit door, and demanded of the pilot, "What time is it?" The pilot responded, "According to which airline?" The businessman said, "What difference does it make? What time is it?" The pilot again responded, "According to which airline?" The businessman became irate and said, "Just tell me what time it is, or I'll come in there and wring your neck!" The pilot consulted his watch, then said, "OK -- on Eastern, it's 13:30; on United, it's 1:30; on Braniff, it's Wednesday; and on Ozark, it's June!"

She apparently circulated a, uh, "heartfelt" apology in a hurry. Will look for a link and post it here.
