Have a safe trip! Lamp guts are easy to source, inexpensive and easy to change out. I am so picky about lamps an such that once I find one I love, I don’t want to replace it.
I sure do wish we had taco trucks out here, but I also wished we had taco trucks when I lived in AZ. They had them in the cities, but not at the junction. I think they would have made bank sitting by the interstate with all of the travelers.
That is so nice of you to say, thank you.
I fool a lot of people, my new doctor was shocked at the x-rays of my back and hip because I wasn’t constantly displaying pain and asking for pain meds.
It’s the weed. It doesn’t stop the pain, it just makes me not care about it as much. That’s why I only use sativa, I have shit to do so I can’t be smoking indica and spending all day on the couch. Well, or sativa heavy hybrids. Here’s a fairly good explanation for the non-stoners amongst us.
I’d guess it would be a good place until the ceiling started collapsing. The panic and confusion would allow the giant cephalopods to burst through the floor drains and up through the roof in an apocalyptic display.
How fun! I took Mom during the long dark winter of 2018. We were the only ones there. Did your ticket have a passenger name? I just assumed that my passenger was in steerage and when we matched our names to the ship manifest…yeah, I was right. Mom was upstairs.
Did you read the menus? Holy cow, some of those meals sounded wonderful!
Mom and I had plenty of benches available when we wanted them and I know that you are in much better shape than we are so I am going to assume the benches were placed there by the building owner and not the renters.
That’s when I take my glasses off!
I’m so sorry and I hope you start feeling better sooner rather than later.
As long as you aren’t attracting bugs or extra mice, don’t beat yourself up or stress over it. You have so much going on that a few socks on the floor and dust on the door sills is really very minor.
PM will be sent as soon as I’m done with this post 
You are a very good and understanding wife. The night before the first day can be pretty stressful and worrisome.
I thought that was one of the reasons the internet was invented. Cat pics, porn and arguing for hours with an online stranger over politics.
Do they still do porn movies in theaters? Some friends and I went to see one there once. I don’t remember the name but watching one on the big screen shows just a little too much detail IMHO.
I’m sorry your greenhouse didn’t work for you.
I don’t think it does either, the poor dear. She’s talking to hear your voice, not because she is hearing your words.
My recipe has them chilled over night then rolled in powdered sugar before baking, then rolling them in powdered sugar while they are still molten hot which makes that lovely icing layer. Let them cool for ten minutes and then dredge them in powdered sugar again.
BFF used to take my cookies out of my hands and hide them in her bedroom so people wouldn’t eat them before dinner. She wanted everyone to get them with all of the other deserts so feelings wouldn’t get hurt. I should probably send her a dozen next week.
My main issue with fruit in cookies is that you have to be so very picky to push the fruit under the dough so they don’t burn or dry out.
Well, of course! That’s why Hubs has asked me to not keep too many cookies around, they are just too easy to eat.
I’m the same way once I’m in the door, and isn’t that the strangest thing? I always feel better and keep pushing myself to do four more laps. I sleep better after an hour in the water and my legs don’t twitch in the night, plus my chicken wings have stopped flapping. I have no idea why it is so hard to keep doing it.
Harry just likes my cookies. I’m going to stop over tomorrow and ask the Mrs if there is anything she would like me to bring besides cookies. I make a killer cranberry sauce (adults only) and have many festive butter molds I’d be happy to use.
Hurray for the kitties! Back when I was fundraising, I would always thank folks for their spare change, even if it was just a handful of pennies. It adds up very quickly and being enthusiastically thanked for pennies often made folks come up with a few larger coins as well.
People are not going to believe it was your dog and they will whisper about domestic abuse behind your back. Especially if you end up with a black eye tomorrow morning.
We used to have a bookcase headboard that the cats slept on. One fateful night, one of them rolled off onto my face. Scratches, black eye and swollen nose happened. I told a couple of people the truth and I could see by their faces that they didn’t believe me. After that, I just told folks I’d been in a knife fight with a bear and that the bear lost.
So, figure your cover story out now, cause everyone is going to blame your husband anyhow.
LOL!!! GG and Jolene always love watching “As the Squirrel Turns”.
Was your college theme song also by Nine Inch Nails?
