Good Morning!
Yes **swampy** you should at least think about it š
Lazy morning here **mr ems** is still asleep but I got up to feed the hungry kitty and drink some coffee. No plans today although I will probably write my Christmas cards tonight.
Steaks for supper.

Happy Sunday all,
I am not crazy from over musicage today, sorry bout that, just needed to vent and well I vented in your general direction.
2 December and predicted high of 83f 28c, now I know I live on Texas but really? We canāt even build a fire at the bar, at least I am 50+feet 15.25m above sea level so I am safe for a few years from the dreaded waterocolypse. Is too a word
I highly recommend a yard sign " Inlaws and other trespassers may be shot on sight" but again I am not married and this is Texas so I can get away with it. Is too a valid defense
Need more coffee so I am gonna
Laterz
**Jim**

heh - we went to breakfast in Leonardtown this morning, and just off the main square, thereās a Nativity scene, guarded by Santa and a snowman, which made us wonder - just how much snow does Bethlehem get in December? š It went downhill from there, with \*\*FCD \*\*suggesting they need to have some half-buried bombs as part of the tableauā¦ :eek: Yeah, he can be a sicko.
Weāve been up and about for a while - breakfast, grocery stop, laundry, and a few other things. Iāve ordered one gift for our daughter, and Iām about to look for another. I was also thinking about baking some cookies to take to Ocala with us, but I wonāt bake today - maybe next weekend.
Happy Sunday!

Iām catching a code.
My throat is scratchy, my ears are itchy, my nose is stuffy **and** runny, my eyes are watery, my cheekbones hurt, my gums itch, my teeth hurt and Iām coughing.
I donāt want the damn thing so I donāt know why I have to catch it.
Why do we _catch_ colds anyway, we donāt _catch_ them, they sneak up behind us and attack us when we are unaware.
Iām supposed to help my homeless friend today, great, Iāll probably make him sick.

To be fair **Mr. Apes** is a doll and doesnāt like the way his mom talks to others either. He has been a buffer between her and me, and I think itās kept me sane this visit so far. She is leaving tomorrow!

**Apes** offer to help her pack now and suggest she wait outside for her ride so she wonāt be late tomorrow. š
**mmmmmms** I said I should begin to think about the possibility of shoppinā. Not that it will take that long, I just donāt wanna.
Today I have deheathenated, brunched and napped. I got two names off the givinā tree at the church house, a little girl age two who wants a doll and a little boy age four who wants any kind of ball or a glove. I always like to get a gift for a girl and a boy each year. These are kids who are beinā raised by their grandmothers.
Thus is Sunday at da cave.

\*\*rosie \*\*- do you have a recipe or a link? It sounds good!
We went to Bertās for a burger, just because. Now weāre home, chilling the night away. Back to the grind tomorrow.
Speaking of tomorrow, who wants to start the conversational ball rolling? Donāt be shy - itās not like we expect the OP to be a masterpiece. As long as the title includes MMP, itāll work. š Cāmon, surely thereās a volunteer just dying to do this!!! You know you want to.
Iāll be your friend!! š

What time do I have to be there?
I usually stay up late on Sunday anyway.
Damn this sneezing, did I mention the sneezing?
I wish I had gotten wonton soup. That always feels good on a scratchy throat. Egg rolls to clear the nose and wonton to soothe the throat.

Iād think egg rolls would work better to plug your nose, if they fit, that is, but whatever floats yer boat.
