Out With the Old, In With the New, Happy New Year! MMP

Technically, she’s right you know. One should eat cheese on crackers…with one’s pinky extended.

& 100% of your ability to hold up a sam’ich.

Here, I have something for you.
Also, hands over a box of Kleenex. :frowning:

Then mebbe I’ll pony up the money for it.

I has silver outfit, not jumpsuit though. The pants came from an Army/Navy store; surplus ARFF gear. Best $5 I’ve ever spent as I’ve won money because of them in Halloween costume contests more than once.
My legs hurt, but it’s a good hurt. I went [del]peep show[/del] Peepsfest today. Longest I’ve run since at least July due to injuries. Glad I’m not a horse as Ida been put down months ago.
Did not stay for the dropping of the [del]Giant Chick[/del] 400lb Peep; well, it’s metal & such, not marshmallow. :frowning:

Happy Buttersversary!
Tomorrow I head down south* for fun & frolic in the ocean for the 21st year in a rose. Iffn I get the camera cleaned out, may go out to join others for a sunrise shoot.

Nellie- I’m home with The lil’wrekker and her BF. Mr.Wrekker is in and out.
I’ll find out my surgery date next week. It will all turn on how my Lefty is looking. The Surgeon being an egotistical jerk let me know in his opinion my Lefty tissue looked healthy. His nurse rolled her eyes.
I’m upright if a bit left leaning this evening. Supper will be what the lil’wrekker can cook (not much: ramen, pizza or PBJ)
Hamza made some hummus earlier. It was tasty. Too salty for me. I ate a little, tho.
My pain isn’t bad if I keep still. Bending hurts.
My arm hurts worse than my side. I really despise the PICC line. I’ll be glad to get rid of that.
DIL got in from Florida this afternoon. Havn’t seen her or the grandwreks yet. I imagine they’re worn out.

By the way, if it makes the cheese horde feel better, I did actually get tempted into buying some local smoked brie at the vegetable shop. They have a cheese fridge as well.

Anyway, it’s the next decade here*; things went bang, people made assorted noises outside and now I’m going to bed.

*subject to pedantry

Remember that fish florentine I made a couple of weeks ago? And that I’m not a fan of cod, except for fish’n’chips? (It’s good with tilapia, and next time I’ll try halibut.) Well, I had two pieces of cod in the freezer.

So tonight I made fish’n’chips. I used Newcastle Brown Ale in the batter, and drank the other half of the bottle. I had two bottles of Guinness with dinner.

Czar is now officially retired!
Czar is into his second bottle of Dragon’s Milk bourbon barrel-aged stout!

Czar pre-apologizes for any posts from this point until noon Thursday or thereabouts.

Howdy Y’all! We took care of stuff around da cave today and prepped foods for tomorrow. The pound cake (he requested that instead of the cake I was gonna get from Sam’s) got baked as well. We et pizza and are now chillin’. We shall both be asleep by midnight guaranteed. Also, we are either in a war zone or the fireworks have started.

Happy Butterversary!

I could get all pedantic and mention the fact that 2020 is the end of the second decade, not the start of the third decade, but I won’t. I have manners and couth.

Get Mr. Wrecker to paint a big “X” on your left side where the kidney is. We don’t want this egotistical bastard to screw it up. :dubious:

Do they check? Do they ask someone to verify that it is the LEFT knee to be replaced, for example?

Well, I’m tired (Cooper tires in this case). Five hours to 2020 here but doubt I’ll make it, haven’t made an effort to be up and out since 2000 didn’t end in an apocalypse.

Think I’ve found a place to take most of my old furniture, now just need to make the decision about painting and get the schedule into place. Looks like a couple weeks in hotels, but I can manage that. Starting to figure out the odds and ends I need beyond what I’ve bought (new ottoman? Breakfast nook table and chairs?).

I did have Mac-n-Cheese for dinner tonight, so the Cheese brigade can stand down now…

I was going to make a rude joke, Butters, but I won’t mention that you probably saw wood on your wedding night before it was delivered to the house…oops.

All y’all take care and I’ll catch up with you in 2020.

Felicidades Czar. Learn to adapt and you will love it.

Sounds like a great stout. I like the name. Where is the brewery located?

Happy birthday baker!

Happy anniversary butters!

I just got back from dinner with a friend (Mexican Ole!) and am fixing to leave for trivia night with some fellow heathens, which will end around midnight. I may cut out before then so I won’t have to share the road with the drunks.

spidey, a few years back, I was downtown for the NYE guitar drop in NashVegas. guitar drop nashville - Bing video Like most of the dropped stuff, it was overrated.

New Holland Brewing, Holland Michigan

Sounds like you’re starting out your retirement good!! (:))

Tilapia eat fishpoop.
They are used to clean up pools where other fish are raised, because they eat poop.
At least one species of tilapia are sold in the aquarium trade. I presume they are popular because they clean up after themselves.

Break out the Sharpie and mark the good side NO

Dammit, if he is standing on the wrong side, it will read ON.
dammit. crap. Nobody listens to me. dammit!

Wine discount day is Wednesday. Christmas Day. New Years Day. Liquor store closed. G-d hates me. I don’t know what I did to piss Her off. My simponi drug was due today. Damn holidays, I’ll order it 2 January and get it 3 or 4 January. Neck hurts like hell, back hurts as usual, just worse.
dammit.

When DH had his leg operated on, a member of medical staff initialed the big toe on the offended leg. I guess the purpose was something like that.

I wasn’t planning much in the way of New Year’s resolutions, but now have a biggie: FIND ANOTHER JOB!!! I am SO over the Dry Pool Olympic Diving Team and the sorry excuses for workplace communication and the long commute and the carpet stains that need to be named and formally recongnized as team mascots…

They make Sharpies in different colors now. I vote for a red STOP sign on the good side and GO in green on the side they want to operate on.

Anybody hear something???

**MetalMouse ** I knew the wood would elicit a joke. No way around it.

I was sleeping soundly when awakened by the stoopid cat. We put her out but then the fireworks started up and hubs got her back in. There have been a few so far. I guess at midnight the majority will be set off. Damn, I was sleeping good too.

Happy New Year. Some of you may have already experienced it depending on location.

Canes won. I won the fan tunnel experience, but I let my seatmate take his kid, since they are moving out of state on Friday. counting down till midnight.

I’m gonna start now, so I can start the 20’s tradition of bathtub gin, and saying “the bee’s knees”:smiley:

It is a great one, especially if you are a fan of bourbon and stouts.

:frowning: ‘e’s pinnin’ for the fjords.
