I am currently very interested in a workplace Strangers on a Train scenario.
You take care of my weasels; I'll take care of yours :mad:

Do they honestly think I don't have enough work of my own that I need to fix <REDACTED>'s mistakes all day, too?!?

Wat has a fool's errand to run next week. Mostly, it's calculated to fuck his holiday travel plans. No matter, TDK will prevail.
 
Well, well, well! I finally caught up!

I've had a few busy days lately. My trainer canceled on me today so I did errands then came home to do chores and such. I got my exercise by lifting the outside lights boxes out of their rack in the storage room and carrying them to the garage for testing. I found a few strands that didn't light up. Also found some boxes of new, unused strands.

Tomorrow, my friend and her husband are coming here to help me put up the outside lights. My husband always put them up the week of Thanksgiving to turn them on that night. He had a friendly rivalry going with our friends across the street. I'm attempting to continue the tradition.

I also just about finished repairing a tree with lights and presents that hangs on the wall. I've had it for a long time. It needed a bit of TLC. It looks pretty good now. I'm almost done with it. I'll post a pic when it's done.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll be lighting then baking for Thanksgiving. 💖✨💝
Aren’t you busy as a beaver (heh heh).

I am sure everything looks amazing and i am glad you’re getting help on the Christmas lights!
 
A friend is retiring next month with 50 years and 1 day with the same company. He is their longest term employee who joined right out of Uni.....


Junior has had one job with one company. One. He did two internships for them while he was in school, one of which was a Busy Season, and that actually put him ahead of his peers by one season. They've never had a full equity partner under 40, and he's the first one.

Sounds busy and that’s good! I am of the school of never putting Christmas decorations up until after Thanksgiving. My late wife grudgingly accepted that wish but afterwards. . .😮
 
I do! Pick me! Pick me!

I’ve been talking about this for ages and it’s a bucket list thing.

I’d like to do a rhine AND a Danube cruise. Both at once. Of course I’d probably be sick and tired of both at once.

But I really need to do one of those.


I'd like the Danube cruise, I know. I reckon it comes out in the Black Sea. I'd like to see Sevastapol and Odessa, too. And maybe take a tour of Istanbul and refer to it as Constantinople constantly . . . .
 


My brother has a model of 1866, which is a converted 1864 model, and it's called an Allin Conversion #1. The #2 was the 1868 model. They cut in a trapdoor style breech loading system and sleeved the barrels to take 50-cal instead of the 58 caliber which was used during The Late Unpleasantness.


And I didn't have to Google any of that . . . .
 
There are discussion threads on Lit for all manner of perversions and I am very much in the 'live and let live' camp. But this particular peccadillo is beyond the pale for me. These fruity fantasists need to be weeded out and suitably punished as a warning to the younger generation of the dangers of excessive freedom of choice! ;)
If you put pinapple on pizza ham is required. That is the law!
 
Herbal Tea? Okay - but I still need to look up each and every ingredient because "It's Natural" can kill you just as fast as "It's all Chemicals"
Organ Meat? Nope.
That's it - just N-O-P-E :ROFLMAO:

Herbal tea blend
  • What it is: A medicinal tea blend made from herbs rather than the meat of a lamb's heart.
  • Ingredients: These blends often contain ingredients like hawthorn leaf and flower, lemon balm, nettle, passion flower, and hibiscus, which are thought to support heart health.
  • Purpose: To support emotional and physical well-being, particularly cardiovascular health.
  • Preparation: Typically prepared by steeping one or more teaspoons of the dried herb mixture in hot water for 5–20 minutes.
Lambs heart meat
  • What it is: The organ meat from a lamb.
  • Nutritional content: A good source of protein, riboflavin, vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, and iron.
  • Considerations: Lamb heart is high in cholesterol and saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation, especially by those with high cholesterol or heart disease.
  • Preparation: Can be braised for a longer, slower cooking time to become more tender.
Why don't we just eat scrapple! Everything in there but the squeal!

If’n I’m ordering up a pizza, I would never ever think to ask for a pineapple on it. Having said that. I have tried it once or twice…out on a date probably. Lads, you know how we suspend some of our “wouldn’t do thats” when the object of our desire is looking rather…will’n? Yeah…it was in a moment of weakness…

Confession…I kind of liked it…Oh the shame! 😫


Weekend is here! Got the tribe off to TX. They should be high over Atlanta or Birmingham by this time. Health & Wellness check on momma today. Probably should do some cleaning for her. She called some ladies that have a cleaning business but they weren’t sure they could work her in on Saturday, so I know if I don’t get over there, she’ll be trying to do it.

The first wife and I used to graze at Pizza Hut routinely. They did have a good salad bar once upon a time. Some of the stores do have an all you can eat lunch buffet these days. Good to gorge, but not enough to keep coming back for.
 
Same but add a turtle neck in place of a scarf. The wind gets bitter here. I requested a Scottish hat for Christmas. Let’s see if Santa heard.
I love a turtleneck. Had them as a kid. Have them as adult, although I have to admit, I go mock turtle/half turtle nowadays just because it rarely gets that cold here.

I was sitting in a docs office thumbing through one of the manly men rags laying about a few years ago and they had either an add or article on a special club: Turtleneck Club. 🤣

You good sir ( and any other fine upstanding gentlemen) are invited to join!

I say!

Haven’t been to one in years…not because I haven’t wanted to but all of them closed anywhere near me. If I spy one on the next road trip minus SWMBO…

She’s been very militant as of late with my diet…
