DevilOrAngel from Somewhere

Welcome to sudokuland where the people are friendly and conversation good but most of all enjoy and drop in some time if you feel like having a chat, cheers.

the weather is turning cold here near Chicago but the sun was out and we enjoyed a day downtown - going to the Zoo to shoot some pictures and enjoyed the lake view. Enjoy your time on the site, Mary

DevilOrAngel!
(Hopefully angel!)
to the wide wonderful world of Sudokuland!
And I am almost sure I must have been to Somewhere before! Is that right next door to "Somewhere in Time"?

Welcome to the site. Think your avatar is so fitting! Check out my photo gallery for lots of pics of various places in the USA, one just might be 'somewhere' you recognize.

Great to have you here with us.

Hi Devil or Angel - Welcome to Sudokuland and so nice to see you posting and with an appropriate avatar!!

Well, a belated welcome to the site Devil/Angel! I'm sure you are probably a little bit of both at times! Enjoy my traditional page warming gift, a double chocolate fudge beavertail pastry from "somewhere in Canada." Cheers, and nice to see you posting!

DevilOrAngel,
Nice to see you commenting. Love that the name and avatar match each other.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas

DorA, I hope all is right now. It is frustrating wondering what you can and cannot say, without offending someone.
Just so you know, I read jokes as jokes and take them as jokes. As I do the weather reports, grannie reports, mommy reports, doctor reports, sports reports...hopefully you get the message there.
Recently, I have been told I am a chatter. Could of hurt my feelings, but if I thought I was hurting someone, I would stop. I am not hurting anyone. Until yesterday, I do not think I have ever posted a joke on this site and I hesitated before sending the viagra jokes and todays innuedoes, gave me pause. I don't like being censored and told what I can or cannot say, well that is the same thing. But I do like this site and the people in it. Most days, this is the only adult conversations I get and I need it.
I hope you still posts your comments and jokes, even if they cannot be political.
Hugs.

Thank you DoA, for the Birthday wishes, and the Beatles Utube, I enjoyed listening :)

I went thinking a different route...figured it was just a way for the Dems to pay back their union cronies..."let's make farmers have to hire our thugster friends!"

Enjoy the day.

Thanks, Mr Cee, for the Christmas wishes. It was a most enjoyable get together this year. Wishing You & yours a

Thanks, DOA - he was ready to get out of the swim trunks he had been wearing!

Well, not everyone gets to celebrate their birthday with the Fab Four!
Thanks, DOrA!

Hey, DOA, that gives a whole new meaning to ''when pigs fly''...

Merry Christmas
DorA

I don’t know what Australian news story you are referring to, DoA, but would you please explain to me how socialized medicine would NOT have helped in the following two cases:

(1) Jaime had cancer when he was in his early 30s. Consequently, he was unable to get health insurance from the private sector – at ANY price. This meant that for the 35 years prior to being eligible for Medicare, we had to pay for all his medical ailments, including hospitalization and treatment for two heart attacks and, later, bypass surgery. Medicare, thank goodness, kicked in in 2002 and covered treatment for the six-months of hospitalization and treatment for a severe staph infection he acquired in 2003 (from a 'minor' outpatient procedure), the resulting sternectomy in 2004 and most recently, the last two years of heart procedures and his recent hospice care.

(2) My four-year-old grandnephew was severely burned on January 8 of this year and had to be airlifted from his home in Oklahoma to Shriners Hospital in Texas. He will be there for a least six months and faces surgery every five days while there. There will, of course, be many more surgeries throughout his childhood since skin grafts do not “grow’ with the child. His father (my niece’s husband) is a regional director for Habitat for Humanity, and they do not provide group health insurance. Because private health insurance for his large family was not affordable, they are now faced with astronomical medical bills. (The children are covered by some form of Medicaid, but from my understanding, just a small fraction of the rapidly-accumulating medical expenses are covered.) The family has set up a fund-raising account, and so far, more than $40,000 has been raised. But this is a drop in the bucket compared to what the final costs will be. Had affordable, “socialized” insurance been available to this family, they would not have such a bleak financial future.

DOA, are you sure that was an Aussie? Sure sounds like TM! LOL

DOA - thanks for your suggestion on 'easy' the other day. I can change the size of the puzzle but when it's larger, I lose the dividing bold lines so I just make it smaller when I do the puzzle.
Cheers!

Hello DOA - thanks for visiting my Gallery to see my latest photos.
Yes, a Yurt and a Ger are one and the same thing, as far as I know.
Hope you're keeping well.
Cheers,
Anne

I like to be unpredictable, DorA.

Thanks for your nice comment about my home page. On our holiday we took a mountain of photos so I tried to only show the best ones on my page. I think I succeeded.

Your photos seem to have a political theme. I must admit that I am less than impressed with Obama too. I thought he was going in to bat for the common folk. He made some very bold promises before he was elected. Unfortunately, he has been totally powerless to deliver what was promised and civil liberties in the USA have been further eroded under his watch. Oh well, such is life.

Thank you for your birthday message. Wish I hadn't seen your Xmas count down ,I haven't finished my shopping.

Who is Tom Mabe & what does he have to do with saving puppies?

Kathy, this is all I could find quick & easy:

Clean Southern Comedy Teams Up to “Save a Puppy”
This April, The Humane Society in Louisville, KY will be selling Clean Southern Comedy tickets to support their 'no kill' shelters.

The ''orange side'' says, 'Glad to be of help, Amelia.

For Christmas, be an angel. Merry Christmas to you and all those you care for, and have a peaceful and prosperous 2014!

Wishing you a wonderful day with family and friends

Thanks for the welcome.

for the wishes! So glad you are back with us ...

Thank you DoA. I am coping with mind numbing chores that need to be done day to day. But a friend like you keeps me in touch with life, keeps me human, and I am grateful for that. You stir things up and that has kept me bouncing. Thank you.

DorA

DoA I loved today's offering..

So where do you think is the ideal place to retire??

Ha ha.. think I'd best stay put downunder...

Thanks for the birthday wishes DoA, unfortunately I'm about to head off for work but I guess beggars can't be choosers!

so much for the multiple wishes, DorA! It is a pleasure to call you friend. Judy

Hello DoA - thank you for checking out my latest photos and your comments.

Congratulations. You now have Trump. He sold out to your best new friends, the Ruskies.

Hi Devil. Or Angel. Thanks for the message. I too am from north of Vancouver USA, namely, from the 'other' Vancouver. Hope you are well...
