You got it right. I am speaking of Trump. It seems he thinks he should receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. He thinks he should because he was so brave in going to Iraq. He has made comments in speeches about this. During his...

Fiacre Banks @celticeagle I think in future a committee should establish out of which orifice a candidate speaks before he is allowed to stand for office.

I brought this up on the phone to my dad, and it made me thankful for my accommodations while I was in college. When my dad was working in Tulsa, he’d come to the OKC area to attend the theology program for ministerial students...

Fiacre Banks @AmbiePam @fleura You do what you have to do. When we were on a road trip in Southern Africa in the 70s we got lost outside Pretoria and at last saw a motel. We camped every night so a motel was a real treat. It was called the Pony Motel and we all rocked up...

Maybe you didn’t believe me when I made those 100 favorites lists. Yeah, I really love these songs. Both of today’s songs are on that list. They were released ten years apart, but that doesn’t matter to me. The fact...

I’ve just had my first overnight stay in hospital since 1974. The first was when our second child was born. Vince has been in hospital several times in that period so I wasn’t completely naïve about various procedures. However,...

Fiacre Banks @JudyEv I’d be happy with verbal reassurance that all was well - details, especially medical jargon, would be superfluous. My wife, on the other hand, would frame the report and hang it on the bedroom wall.

One of our nieces emailed me last night. We house-sat for them last year, looking after two cats and some guinea pigs. Among other news was that the male guinea pig had escaped from the ‘monastery’ and had been living in the...

You know that say when you are feeling poorly ….. Have some chicken soup…. It makes everything okay and certainly makes you feel better. I haven’t got the energy at the moment to make my own, but I do have some tinned soup in the...

Fiacre Banks @AmbiePam Even if the bride had done something to this ‘lady’ there is no justification. Who does that?

Fiacre Banks @thehorse François Mitterrand staged an assassination attempt in Paris in 1959 - he was found out and had to wait till 1981 to will the presidency. Trump may well have got his people to set this up - he’s the most unstable person around.

It's hard to capture what they look like in a photo unless I put some of the blinds down and some of the blinds up, which is what I did in this photo from the Master Bedroom. It only took an hour for the workers to install...

Often I'll just stick a spoon down in the jar and got a tablespoon full of peanut butter as a mid-afternoon snack. I bought no-sugar-added peanut butter this time for fewer carbs and less sugar. It's pretty good. Less sweet, of...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville It’s good you’ve got something you like that you’re not allergic to! I love peanut butter just out of the jar. No need to bother with bread, just peanut butter.

Those of us who don't reside in the US can sit back and watch the 'performance' . The first 'assassination' attempt had us laughing. If one was shot from a distance, the force would knock you down. Seeing Trump press a...

Fiacre Banks @jaylar The man has no shame/pride. François Mitterrand tried a similar stunt in Paris in 1959 (The Observatoire Affair). His accomplice who helped stage it spilled the beens. But Mitterrand went on to become President in 1981.
