That's quite a leap. nt

Former Procter & Gamble CEO to be nominated as VA Head

As reported in the Chicago Tribune 6/29/14, Robert McDonald, former CEO of Procter & Gamble has been selected by President Obama to succeed Eric Shinseki as the new chief of the Veterans Administration.

Mr. McDonald, 61, is a graduate of the US Military Academy and was decorated for his military service. He had a long career with P&G, beginning as an assistant brand manager 31 years ago.

"he thought the gun was unloaded"-

How often do we read that line following the twice-a-week "accidental" shooting?

Get a clue, guys.

This is why I have bought American cars exclusively.

Yes, I've heard the whole story about American workers in those foreign-owned plants.
But, I think back to WWII, when our whole manufacturing/industrial complex was converted to war-time use.
Hope we never need such a use again.

Of course, each person decides his/her own course of action.

I submit that it is not wise for a person in elected life to consort regularly with someone while still married.

Yes, I realize many persons/voters do not care, and, indeed, the person so acting may be a far better candidate for office than the opponent(s) and therefore, the preferred candidate. (Ex. of public not caring - Mark Sanford, though whether he was the better candidate, I cannot say).

My friend's spouse had and died of Huntington's disease; one adult child has also died of the same disease, and three more are afflicted, and I am aware that psychological impairments are also a part of it, as one of the adult children was convicted and is serving a jail sentence for sexually abusing a young child; apparently, one can lose the inhibitions one has been taught regarding that phase of morality with the illness, among other problems.

During that person's long illness, the spouse commented to me on those who divorce during that time, many for monetary reasons. For that person, divorce would not be considered.

Bottom line, Sen. Cochran's liason with his staffer does diminish him somewhat in my eyes. He is likely still preferable to his Tea Party rival, McDaniels, but, hopefully, Travis Childers, the Democratic Senatorial candidate, will prevail on the issues.

Some human needs are unmet when one has a bond with a spouse.

Choices are made.
It is not easy.

You can speak or observe couples caring for, tending one another when the relationship is unequal regarding health.

Many here can attest to that, either in their own case or through observation.

"In sickness and in health"... nt

Now you've got the idea. nt

Pictures help, but I suspect she knows what's going on re food comsumption-

two daughters, beaucoup Secret Service agents, staff everywhere...

I'm sure FLOTUS knows what her guy eats.

Wives have a way of knowing those things.
