Wow I got home and found the management had put the Christmas Tree up and the decorating done so no work for me this year. Yeahhhhhhhh

 

[Wonderer67]

You better stay overnight.They're expecting five inches of snow tonight. South jersey is supposed to get it worse

We are staying at a hotel and taking our time getting home. It works out well. Because I’ve I have panorama photographs of the Asbury Park convention center in all seasons, except for snow.

Good morning/ day, fellow Spoonies!
I hope this finds all of you and yours doing well!
I'm so far behind on the thread that catching up is likely impossible and my workload has been fairly much insane.
I'll try to find out how @Missk_2022 is healing up from her surgery...
As always, I missed y'all while I was gone!

I just have so much on I gave up on that a long time ago…. Last few pages is my limit

One word: fire.

But W doesn't want to burn up any of his structures.

 

[Greylag]

I am ok!! First few days were rough. Now my incisions are itchy. They also shaved my tummy so that is itchy too....i put some jewelweed salve on the itchiest bits and that helped. Right nelow my belly button is pretty sore and bruised but better every day

Do we really need this level of information? Wouldn’t “it’s still a little still sensitive” have served the purpose. You nurses don’t realise how “sensitive” English Gentlemen are!

Anyway hope it gets better @Missk_2022

He lives in Joisey, Right???

there is no way to phonetically pronounce the word Jersey for a real Jersey person. My dad was from Hillside so he had a great Jersey accent.

It was sort like jeh-zy

I’ll catch yaz lay-tah

She continues to give him good reviews. He wasn't so sure about goats, but he seems to have sorted that out.


He's only been there a week.

Seems he's settling in. It will be interesting to know the reaction you each have when meeting.

 

[Lilianna23]

It dawned on me, I'm "hearing" someone tell me that I cannot. I identified it - that it's there - and I am pulling its larynx out . . . .

I would never...!

 

[Lilianna23]

The big'un. It's so Wat.

Very pimp daddy.

 

[Lilianna23]

Your heirs and assigns will cherish your memory moreso if'n ya do.


Ask me how I know????


The fucking safe deposit box keys were baffling . . . .

Did you get it sorted?

 

[Lilianna23]

Up. 3AM Club membership intact, even on a fawkin Saturday. You were a busy lot yesterday.

The random word generators are fun.

A friend at work showed me a great North Korean press release generator once…

I'm in Healthcare. We already know how to make up big words!

Castle Greylag …

K and I know where we're staying when we go to Scotland!

 

[Lilianna23]

Be careful of water on roads. Water is essential for life but can also take it. I suspect you know this. I just felt the protective urge to say it anyway.

Thank you, honey! Even though I drive an SUV and a truck, I'm still very cautious when there's standing water. Yesterday I saw cars half the size of mine just plowing through.

 

[Lilianna23]

We had so much fun. My granddaughter frosted her sugar cone tree, placed sprinkles on it, then promptly licked all of it off ! . We laughed at her and her green food coloring mouth which had a big grin.

I'm banking ideas for our bake-fest day! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

I told my friend from day one I would not mix in my business with our friendship.

I kept my word so far and intend to stay that way.

Even w his kid, I vowed to take the high road. I may not this week because there’s two words I always tight my kids: be accountable and be responsible.

Since his career options are limited, I even tried to get him into the utility union thru a friend. He never took me up on it.

So he’s on his own now w his house clean out and “antique” business.

You're a good guy, W! It's important to preserve our good friendships even when sorely vexed!

 

[Lilianna23]

Remember to set the water tank to its highest setting. At the lowest setting, some other nasty bacteria can live.

I bet you knew that

I have a tankless set to 140°.

 

[Lilianna23]

A very thorough report!

What??


Wait, what?

Whaaaat?


That sounds like a good day! Getting rid of and purging stuff always feels good!!

It did feel good! I kept going in there to look in the closet!

My friend, who stays in that room when she visits, is going to be AMAZED!

 

[Lilianna23]

It took me awhile to catch up. I see so many already in the greasy spoon.

Just some Christmas cheer as I share the tree my granddaughter decorated yesterday. She already had made my holiday season happy.

This is a beautiful tree, B2!

 

[Lilianna23]

She's doing a lot better now, but for a couple of years things were really rough for her. She left a very abusive relationship, with kids in tow. Starting from scratch with mouths to feed, etc. I'm really proud of her for what she's accomplished since then.

I'm sure your help really boosted her!

SWMBO gave me this little book for Christmas because she claims I’m a hoarder…the nerve of that woman! I too have a collection of good boxes. Who doesn’t? So before your New Year’s resolution, go out and grab it ($8.88 on Amazon, hardcover no less…cheaper than the paperback?) or grab from library.

I can save you some time and money though…right from the source…”If you haven’t used it in the last year, get rid of it.” Just saved you $9 bucks or a trip out! I’m good like that.

Did I mention how much I love the smell of Hoppe’s #9? Can’t decide if it’s better than Testers Airplane glue? I know we’ve had this discussion before. Cleaning Iron&Wood in the garage when SWMBO comes in and loudly blurts, “it STINKS in here! Smells like chemicals!” Heathen…

How dare she!

Smelling those chemicals may explain…a…lot…though….

Good day on the range. I didn’t light it on fire on the pistol range, as I was shooting a Colt Police Precision with no rear sight…the other fellas had red dots and Hollow Suns…I did redeem myself on Sporting Clays though. Greylag…you’d of been proud!

Have a great weeekend!

This book has been in my "Books" wish list for a while. My husband would say the same thing to me. He was very much a toss it out guy, but it didn't extend to his tools. I can tell you how many drill bits sets I've found!

 

[Lilianna23]

U are amazing...i want to be u when i grow up but i fall short in every way

You're a good you! ️

 

[Lilianna23]

I lost my surgery weight..... i have a shot of meeting xmas weight goals..... if i stay OUT OF THE XMAS COOKIES

Yay!

Now, you'll see some contraction!

 

[Lilianna23]

I'm always open to others perspectives...

DM me if you'd like. No pressure.

 

[Lilianna23]

He lives in Joisey, Right???

You understood the assignment!
