Lawd have mercy y’‘all! We saw an informercial for sex toys! OYKW was flippin’ channels and came upon it. He called me from another room, sayin’, “come here, you ain’t gone believe this!” We were amused and appalled. I kept thinkin’ that that poor woman’s mother can’t show her face at the Piggly Wiggly or the DAR because of what her daughter does for a livin’. She just carried on and on and on about dildoes and such. What is this world comin’ to that such a thing can be seen on not just teevee, but afternoon teevee! **Hippie** good to hear from ya! Glad you’re on the mend. I like escargot. Admittedly it’s an excuse to eat a whole buncha butter and garlic, but 'tis good. An added plus is the thought of it makes OYKW gag. Win-Win! **nellie** he did an excellent job with the tacos. Tummy is happy and full. We have a tension rod on the shower in the guest bathroom. Every once in a while it likes to clutch its pearls and fall down on the floor. ---

They’re glazed in honey, I assume. Why are they any better than supermarket hams? Honey notwithstanding, they’re just very tasty. It’s not the glaze, they just taste good. I have a hard time finding a supermarket ham with a taste I like. Sometimes I just buy a few slices from the HBH store. They have a FANTASTIC turkey-cranberry salad (by _salad_ I mean it’s like chicken or tuna salad, i.e., not green). ---

Just found out my sister-in-law is in the hospital with an intestinal blockage. She’s been through a lot, tummy-wise, and her diabetes exacerbates everything, it seems. So now I’m worried about her. Can’t help it. All my genes contain little hearts wringing their tiny hands. **Thel** , aha. That makes sense. I see I’ve been missing something. I rarely crave anything ham, which is even less salad-y that the HBH stuff you describe: ground (it went through her food grinder) ham, mayo, and mustard. It was really more of a sandwich spread. > [@swampbear](#): > > We have a tension rod on the shower in the guest bathroom.

This gave me a much-needed guffaw. > [@BippityBoppityBoo](#): > > Does it perhaps have a sight line into the parlor where you are setting down drinks **without coasters**? I’m pretty sure the dildo commercial sufficed. ---

**wheelie** , if you mouse over the birthday cake, it will tell you why it’s there. 🙂 Glad your BIL’s test came back negative. I hope that MrsLA likes her birthday celebration **Johnny** Sorry about the root canal **nellie**. They suck when you get them, but you won’t have a toothache there again. I’m not a fan of Honey Baked Ham. I tend to buy a half ham from the butcher shop at Christmas and use the bone for NY black eyed peas. 🙂 **shoe** , you can keep the snow, thank you. I grew up in the land of lake effects snow and survived the blizzard of '78, so I’m over the white stuff. It’s good to see you back **hippie**. Safe travels **metal mouse** and **silenus** I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of month end. 🙂 (hoping it’s not a freight train). I got awarded a buncha ACE points (rewards that can be used for gift cards and other stuff) from my boss, one of our analysts and my great grand boss (we have history. I was his first inventory reconciler when he came to work as a supervisor and we had worked at another plant prior to that). At this rate, I should have an extra $500 to play with by Christmas. Nelson had fun today with Miss Vickie and Max. She emails dog park pics to me at work. I’m surprised that he even wants to come home with me when I pick him up. 😛 (he’s always glad to see me). Stay safe and healthy y’all! ---

OK, filet mignon has been postponed until tomorrow. ☹ Mrs. L.A. liked the book. She says she’s reading the notes upon which the poems are based, rather than the poems. She finds politics ‘boring’. As a conservative Christian, she just doesn’t have time for it. But we saw John Lithgow on Josh Gates Tonight and said, ‘I’ve got to get that book.’ I’ve been ‘political’ for decades, so I’m reading the poems. Anyway, she likes it. 🙂 She also like the cards from me and the cats. I think she’ll have some tiramisu tonight, so I got out a candle. ---

{{{OW}}}. And thanks for the laughs regarding those places you have been told about… **swampy** , I go past infomercials so fast I don’t know if we have any of those here in Ali-bama. **flyboy** , sounds like a successful dinner and present. Well done (not the filet, however) **nellie** , you’re just plain good folks. **red** , nice little bonus for the year’s end. And Vickie and Max are good friends to Nelson; but you are MOM. Need to go do packing now. Expecting to hit the road before 8am to get up to brother’s place around 4pm. First real long drive in quite awhile, so I’m taking it easy. All y’all have a good T’giving if I don’t get the chance to say it before time (am taking my laptop with me). ---

I had a little piece of tiramisu. Three bites. Gawds, I could eat half of it! But I’ve had my little piece of ‘birthday cake’.
