I went from smoking half a pack a day to two packs a day just so I would have an excuse to go outside where I couldn’t shake him! > [@Die\_Capacitrix](#): > > Now I’m wondering about snowman farts.

I hope you sell a lot of them. Do be sure to glance up (with proper eye protection) once in a while during the big day. Take some to the store that sells your work in advance, I’m sure many of the locals are getting excited too. I think that dog sitting sounds like a good thing for you to do as well. > [@Misnomer](#): > > “I don’t have your number” (and included his) and “good seeing you as always!!” Now, I am _super_ rusty, but I think that was a good sign. I am pretty rusty too, but yeah…good sign! > [@Misnomer](#): > > I put all of the pieces back in the box, and will either give it away or sell it at a yard sale or something. Our local library also lends puzzles and accepts donations. > [@Misnomer](#): > > (I wouldn’t have been surprised if I’d completely missed a link, though! 😂) The blue color for the links _is_ pretty hard to see, isn’t it? > [@swampbear](#): > > **Dicey** you made corn cake not corn bread. Hubs grew up thinking he didn’t like corn bread because his family cooked like West by-gawd Virginians. (They put sugar in EVERYTHING) I made a batch of buttermilk cornbread to take to a potluck and he suddenly learned that he does like corn bread, he didn’t like corn cake. > [@missred](#): > > When I worked graveyards, I used to stop at the bar when they opened up at 0730 for chili and a beer sometimes. It was supper. No law on what we eat at what time of day. It was a beer and burger at 0800 for me. There was a regular crowd of grave yard workers there first thing in the morning, I fit right in. > [@dogbutler](#): > > My FairyChat collection(2006 vintage): Super cool! > [@LSLGuy](#): > > I took a few of the various crowds at the venues just to trigger **JtC** ’s anxiety. Snert! I can look at pics and think “better you than me!”, LOL. Actually, I wanted to look at the parade pics, cause I just love parades, but the are still loading. I’ll look later. It’s warming up here, was around 70F this afternoon and my Columbines are sprouting. I’m kinda all dang it about that, they need to be repotted and I thought I had another month. They will be too fragile now, so I’m going to have to wait until they are big and hard to handle. My fault, I’ve been trying to hold spring off with the power of my denial and that never works. Hubs mowed the grass filled clover patch so I need to get out there with my hoop hoe and go after the grass. I remember Dad battling the clover in his lawn, now I’m battling the lawn in my clover. I dithered too much with my eclipse plans (only 42 days left!) and couldn’t make reservations at the Dallas Art museum, so I got tickets for the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. They have an observatory and will have filtered telescopes available for public viewing. Yeah, I know it will be crowded but I’m planning on bringing some gummies for that, plus you can vape outside. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-dont-sleep-on-the-presidents-day-sales-a-mattress-mmp/997754)._
