A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN OBAMA-BIDEN FAN As world view turns in our direction, while Pres O and VP Biden begin debriefings at the White House, we see an incredible amount of stamina evident in our new President-Elect. Imagine being in the same room with a devil. Oh, that awful gurj bu. Shame on him! No, don't look in his eyes. Pres O --- try wearing designer shades. I, for one, haven't seen the whole campaign flush during the last few months. Exposed only to one, sole tv chann... [Read more]

Hey what's the haps where you are? Troop reduction slated for Iraq according to msnbc.com sources which is a very good sign. The outgoing, seated US prez will want to show signs of good faith to his people. Our wonderful population of voters will be riveted on the current administration's final hours now. THANK GOD, PRESIDENT OBAMA, THANK GOD, VICE PRESIDENT, JOE BIDEN. THANK GOD!!!! We are aware now of the graciousness, the willingness to be supportive of Sen. John ... [Read more]

Oct 31, 2008 -- HALLOWEEN DAY As one may deduce on previous All Hallow's Eve by the year, occasionally there came a time in the author's daily occupation when very personal peeves become addressed re: Cauldron Time. One thing I do not like are reviews where the revver uses c&p and stabs at re-writing perfectly fine work. Another is bogus writing advice which is harmful and wrong in today's publishing, up-dated markets. About Cauldron Time --- a pause in the reality of... [Read more]

Well, good morning JuneBug Readers. Sun Oct 26, is a seriously foul weather day along the mountain top, draped in cloud cover where colorful leaves swirl about hither and yon in high wind soaked by intense rain. Other author-to-author hints are also available on All part of where some current changes are afoot. These hints today are ones we all probably already get caught up in from time to time. Actually there are a few ways out of the sinking morass akin to overall wr... [Read more]

Date:10/11/08 @ 7:36am From:Fiona T.Teffom (66) To:Fiona T.Teffom Hi! Got a letter this morning which makes my coffee taste bitter. A person has just told me Obama is tied to terrorists. The denial email thus declared how given this information he/she (we cant say) intends voting for McCain. Also, the correspondent believes global warming to be false. Adding kudos for Palin in that letter prompts this open letter. To all who are either like minded or simply believe everythin... [Read more]

WHO ARE YOU? WHO WHO? WHO ARE YOU?? WHO WHO! NO BAIL OUT, tell congress, tell everyone Who are you! Who am I. Uh, hon, I'm a taxpayer and I do not believe the economy will fail after ups and downs on Wall Street occur daily for the past month! It is a hoax to say the economy is bust, that the nation will go into a "rather bad recession." It did when gas went up to $3. Then $4 per gal. ETC ETC Who are you?

Twice I did the woodwork which dated back to the 1920's and was still in it's original shape or so folks said. Especiall... [Read more]

Oh heavens to Betsy. Uh, lost her. Hey come back here will you please. BETTY! I'm begging you, don't do this marathon race thing of yours. PLEASE!!! Holsteins can really cover some hilly ground. They resemble helicopters ascending the simplest of tall rocky bluffs. Betsy, God Bless America is faster than a speeding bullet. Now, I'm standing in a field of Goldenrod with an empty pail. All I needed was a touch of milk in my morning java. Go figure. In a sense we really... [Read more]

There's a timer running to see whether or not since this is a new post --- how long it takes for a view to appear in the owner's view count. Just between you and me, so much business must be taken care of this week, writing of this one blog is not a priority. Junebugs has a new home. The question is: Shall a link be provided to connect to what became this groovy, fun, creative, entertaining, very original blog? Since the initial post one, blog #1 of 2005? Maybe yes, ...

OH, Morning Said Pooh Golly gee willickers, Sept already YET ... the neighborhood's off to a pretty good start this month over at my house. The mail came so I paid the bills. Then the lawn guys came. So, I tried to position border flower baskets along the Rubekia out of the way, then lift the Artemesia with a rake to keep it away from empowering, debilitating mower blades. The grass is so short a grasshopper is higher not standing on his hind legs. Instead, laying on his bel... [Read more]
