That method works well with cat portraits, too

I fascinate TDK and Ethyl so that they pose as though carved from marble.


Off. Pleasant dreams, Spoonies!!!


Fly safely, OM . . . .

I agree in the percentage of meat what's going on? I hear all the packing plants are foreign owned

I heard the ranchers couldn't afford feed, so they had to thin their herds.

Nite spooneez! Catch yaz early tomorrow.

I do buy 1/4 and 1/2 from a local packing facility. The price per lb turns out to be retail hamburger prices when your buy in bulk from some of these small local guys

And the quality is so much better... i want to say last time i bought a 1/2 worked out to be 6/lb including packaging. Cheaper than 85/15 chuck.

Sweet Dreams, spoonies
FYI - Northern Lights are out in the Midwest tonight for another 2 hours
This was taken w/ my cell - no flash
Was not visible to me, but the camera
Amazed since there's a fair amount of light pollution here

When I heard half and quarter I immediately thought half and quarter beast, it is a lot cheaper to buy in bulk here

There's a show in the sky tonight.

 

[Lilianna23]

Lots of rest and I hope u feel better soon...

Thanks, sweetie! This thing has decided I'm its life ccompanion and just will not move on!

I'm probably not helping in that I've been really busy lately, too. Been working on my village. It's coming along and should be done in the next few days.

I know I've been MIA from the thread. This is my proof of life! I'll try to get caught up in the next few days.

Absolutely

Well night all

Heading to Kazakhstan everyone behave.

Where's the fun in that?

Safe travels

Feel better soon!
Does zinc help to lessen the severity and shorten the duration of your colds? Some people swear by it.

I find it helps somewhat. But I do have to make sure to take the minimum recommended dosage. Otherwise, it messes with my GI system if I recall correctly. I always have some on hand, though, just in case

I'm kind of meh on zinc. It doesn't seem to help or hurt me.

Evening, @kathyisgr65
Love the new AV!
Bewbies again!!

Is there a new sheriff in town??

 

[Lilianna23]

Sorry to hear that! I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Thank you, Boat!

 

[Lilianna23]

I have before.... but not right now with parents....sad

You would be worried about them all the time!

 

[Lilianna23]

To some extent i believe what they are saying. I just dont appreciate the "drink the koolaid" way they talk about it... it is condescending

Noted!

Have you been peeking in my windows, OM?

 

[Lilianna23]

I visited Seattle once during an atmospheric river event. The company put me in a hotel and my room was on the upper floors. I could see the waves of clouds rolling in. It never seemed to stop ! My heart goes out to you and others under the dreary rainy days.

Thanks, B2! We do get some interesting weather at times. Unlike many, I don't seem to be affected by SAD. I kind of like the rain and gloom. It's a good excuse to cuddle on the couch with the pup, napping and reading.

You know I can’t give a nurse advice on how to manage the common cold or other virus, but I will suggest chicken soup. It always improves my disposition.

I did make some chicken soup with my stock. This bug seems to be hanging on. Lots of people in the area have it.

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning MissK and Wat. I made it to 4 am and them my old dog to 430. I had coffee and toast and he had a treat. Now he is cuddled beside me snoring.

My thoughts about the posts since I last logged in:
The weather may vary from region to region and none seem to be doing well- too wet, too cold, too windy and all of them.

Potatoes if twice baked with melted cheddar is comfort food.

Chicken soup for the winter colds and viruses. Nurse approved I hope!

Travel or work away from home for business is not fun. I don’t miss those days. And I wish those that do it the best. Retirement approaches sooner than you think.

Aging parents are stressful as you care and love them even though they frustrate the hell out of you. I have been though it too.

Excellent recap, B2!

 

[Lilianna23]

Is that a euphemism for something?? Or

We’d like to see your moons on the water…

(Sorry, but I’m filling in for @nipplecaresser )

Worthy endeavor, W! No water moon pics now until spring when the boat goes back in the water. Here's a pic I snapped the other day!

Happy Veterans Day to all our veterans and wanna be veterans.
I wanted to serve but was denied, because I didn't pass the physical or psychological.
I have family hero's that I miss now, but I miss all our Hero's globally who faithfully fought for the freedoms we now have.
I'm sorry if I'm being mushy in my feelings. It's just the way I am...

You don’t have to be sorry RJ. I am mushy too!

 

[Lilianna23]

That brings back memories. I had family that lived in Chantilly. Our summer vacations were running around the battlefields and DeeCee. Going out to Dulles to watch the Concorde take off and land! Also going to Redskin summer training camp. Good memories. I love VA! It’s for lovers…right?

Over da Hump. Did y’all see that moon last night? Wow! took a pic but its not the best…
