Good morning everyone. It’s been a while since I’ve logged on, and real life events are dragging me away from Lit. I’ll still pop in occasionally, but I wanted to thank everyone here. This is the one board where I could open up, get on my soapbox, and generally be myself without posing for the rest of the world. I hope you all stay safe and take care.

Come on in when you get the chance!

I qm having some chick o stick mini candies for dessert

What is you all fave candy

I love this candy from Hawaii called Mele Macs. They're macadamia nuts coated with toffee then chocolate then rolled in powdered sugar!

Very few people carry a resentment like Dr. Tyler.

I bet my mom could have given her a run for her money!

Norwegians ( my mom) are notoriously stubborn and grudge holders

I don't know for sure.... a couple people opined on it, further down in the thread.
It was a beautiful moth!

 

[Lilianna23]

There's actually a moth whose "defense mechanism" is looking like a red wasp... I saw several when I was working in Galveston.

I'd stay away!

This one was fresh out of the cocoon, you can see it's still pumping up it's wings. Probably 6" to 7" wingspan. Giant cecropia moth.

Watched it for 15-20 minutes, then let it do it's thing. Probably a once in a lifetime thing to see one emerge.

Beautiful!

Here's a couple pics my Lovely Wife got at Her birthday party last year...View attachment 2516375View attachment 2516376

These are stunning! Nature is awesome!

We have hummingbird moths where I live. Love to watch them flit from flower to flower after dark.

I've never seen one! Just googled. They're so like the birds!

A quick screenshot of the
Scarlet Bodied Wasp Moth like I was seeing in Galveston....

Update on my partner’s daughter, she is responding well to anti viral meds and could be released today. We are waiting on test to confirm the virus. Some speculation is a reaction to exposure to Picornaviridae, aka foot and mouth disease!

How would she have encountered that? I was thinking meningitis.

Not CHEWY!!!

I know the feeling. We had Mum on holiday last year. Itbeas where we have spent all our childhoods, where she has been going for over 70 years. We saw a friend of hers and it was a farewell. I don’t think she will make it back… Good luck when it comes @Missk_2022

I'm sure you made it a memorable trip, G!

 

[Lilianna23]

I hate that! All pillows are that way for me!

I hate that, too! I usually travel with my pillow but decided to leave it at home this trip. Very BAD decision!

 

[Lilianna23]

I had a dream last night that I got fired from my job and I was in this big convention center looking for something and there were all these biker gangs roaming around looking for where there brother bikers were at.....

Yes I know...I had chic o sticks before bed

Was Wat there? Did he scoop you up? 🏍

 

[Lilianna23]

Poor Mrs. Wonderer. She has to put up with immature bullshit from me all the time.

She was running late this morning and asked me to help her make a sandwich. When my kids were really little, I used to put little smiley faces or a little goofy things on the waxed paper or parchment paper I wrapped their sandwiches in.

Even when my daughter was a teen teenager and we’d make sandwiches for a volleyball tournaments, I’d put a volleyball or something cute on the waxed paper.

But Mrs. wonder gets the real wonderer treatment. She has not seen it yet. She will at lunchtime tho. What are the odds she will
Laugh
Roll her eyes
Or just be disgusted

Hard to see, but a pic of her wrapped sandwich from today.

My vote is:
D. All of the above!

 

[Missk_2022]

Was Wat there? Did he scoop you up? 🏍

No.... it was weird...I kept on searching for something.

 

[Missk_2022]

Well I am gonna fall asleep.....

Getting a mani pedi in the am...yay!!!!

My Village bought the old IGA and we are renovating it into office space and two stores and we are going to replace the front windows it's like a wall of windows with glass of course with a decorative wood trim and I told Jason that if we had the money I would like to name the building the Village Mercantile or General Store and have it like in gold with an old fashioned font. I think that would be so pretty

That sounds wonderful! A vintage feel!

That sounds wonderful! A vintage feel!

"A vintage feel" is that like getting felt up by an old guy?

 

[Lilianna23]

I agree.... and I like to be told no occasionally..... its hot.... not all the time .... but a well placed " i said no woman".....love it

I'm much the same way. If I can run over a guy, I'll eventually grow bored with him. Even though I DO like to get my own way!

 

[Oldermom935]

RIP George Foreman!

Fine. Be that way. Keep it all for yourself.
I'll just hunker down here a bit south (southwest???) of you and look at the uncovered ground that's had next to no snow cover this season (again).
Really dreading Wildfire Season with so little snow/rain

Fuck this shit!
