> [@Buttercup\_Smith](#): > > **Sari** Ithink I am skipping Christmas this year. Me and Hubby just had the talk about Thanksgiving. Our ritual is to cook a huge feast. This year we have decided to try to cook a smaller feast. We could go to the local Moose club and eat a whole lot cheaper but I need my leftovers. I’m not excited about Christmas this year. Then again I’m not excited most years. I have no desire to get with the family this year. Sah-son couldn’t care less about the holidays. I never even know what to get him because he doesn’t want anything. He has gotten back into collecting hats so that is something. He’ll kill me for this.

I’m dying to see her house - the one with two of everything in the kitchen. I know I’ll have a good time but I hate the drive, and I don’t know what to do with the dog. ---

Ate too heavy at lunch so dinner was just some bacon and a slice of bread. When you have nature’s most perfect food, it’s enough. ---

If you would want it, I have a full Native American war bonnet – quality made vintage about 1970-75. Its not real authentic – more the kind they were for dance and powwows. You know, a little more Hollywood than historic. Could also use dusted a bit. Think something like this: > **[Headdresses | War Bonnets, Weapons & Regalia | Native Arts trading](https://www.nativeartstrading.com/)** > > Native American | Plains Indian war shields, headdresses | war bonnets, lances | spears, rattles, drums, eagle bone whistles, war clubs & tomahawks, coup sticks, etc. Sioux, Cheyenne, Comanche, Crow, Blackfeet, Apache and other tribes. Pictures could be provided if you want to PM me an e-mail address. ---

\*\*Butters, \*\* I’m a 33 year old male living in Suffolk, VA. We’ve got the usual burger joints here, and some Chinese places and a really good Mexican place in neighboring Franklin. \*\*Kopek, \*\* not sure if you can customize teams on that game or not. Heading home now after choir practice. We’ve been working on the Christmas cantata the last few weeks. Is it that time already? ---

There’s a wind advisory until tomorrow afternoon. I hope we don’t lose power again. Last time, it was out for two and a half days. Wow, it is windy iffn it blew **flyboy** into the MMP! Welcome, **Johnny L.A.** stay for a while; it’ll only cost you some offerings of beer & chocolate (or a good chocolate beer!) 😉 **Sari** , that’s not how I pictured him. **Ruble** , cool head gear! I got paid to walk around the maul today; unfortunately, I am not able to expense my purchases. ☹ Started new job; went there first thing to get fingerprinted, then they threw me out until they came back. For whatever reason, there was a delay in getting them back so I couldn’t ‘start’ even though I get paid for the whole day. ---

I worked. The Canes lost. Someone stole my coffee cups at work. 😕 **Butters** , from what I remember, the local restaurants in Key West are pretty good.🙂 **Sari** , your son has good taste in hats. And I skip Christmas, and go straight to Festivus. ---

How did you picture him **Spidey**? He looks nothing like me at all. We have the same hands, he has his father’s fingers, but my hands. I think nobody would look at us and think mother and son. I wish I had his hair, although I’d use more conditioner. **Doggio** , you haven’t seen the pizza hat, nor the jester hat. He got his aviator hat today, and we’re waiting for the fez. ---

(((((Rockin’))))), sorry to hear that you’ve had such a tough time, I hope you enjoyed your day off and got some much-deserved rest. I had yesterday off too, but that’s because I had an accident and damaged my knee. It’s still sore today but I manage to limp into work - I had to, I don’t get any sympathy at home, the cats don’t care as long as their food bowls are full and there’s fuss on demand. It’s not very nice over here today, we have a storm, a real one with a name and everything! Currently it’s terrorising Scotland so too far north to be a real bother to me, but it’s very windy and wet outside with the forecast for a lot of rain over the weekend. **Sari** , that’s not how I pictured your son either, but he has good taste in hats! Being on this side of the pond, we don’t do Thanksgiving so I don’t have to think about that. We are also not bothered about Hexmas either, so this year we have decided to spend it in Las Vegas. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and of course I get to see Motley Crue on the last bit of the very last tour ever. 'Nuff said! ---

I’m having a horrible morning. I’m supposed to go to a Who Con tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll be up to it based how I feel now - even if I feel good when I wake up, if I go to the Con, by the time I get home I’ll feel all crappy again ---

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. _YAWN_ 'Tis 49 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 68 and sunny. Yestiddy the high was 82. Fall be weird. **flyboy** , welcome! Come back and play. Hope the wind does not knock the power out. **{{{BooFae}}}** hope the knee is feelin’ better today. **{{{rosie}}}** hope you’re feelin’ better today. Today’s plans include, well, not much. Chikin’ noodle soup for dindin but all I have to do is heat that up since I made it on Wednesday. I am considerin’ a trip to the liberry so I could go by the sto’ and pick up some good bread to go with the soup. Or not. 'Tis a willy-nilly day. OK, I need more caffeine and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. I suppose I should also purtify somewhat if’n I plan to go about the public. Happy Firday Y’all! ---

{{{ **boo fairy** }}} I’ve hurt my knee on occasion and it is not a pleasant sensation. Hope you’re feeling better. Temperature is heading downward, my 0800 soccer referee game on Saturday is predicted to be about 43F, warming by noon to about 58F. Need to get the long-sleeve shirt and a selection of underclothing ready. **flipper,** did you attend Kent State? I’m a 1975 grad from there (Don James was coach and we actually went to a bowl game!). Otherwise, to echo **butters** Blurf and TGIF. ---
