We're here for each other, fru fik & fin, whatever happens.

 

Remember the Houndie Rules:

Oh, I just saw that the new club is here!  So I copied my post from the old one, just in case it goes poof.   Thanks for the new one, Chris!

Hi, gorgeous Ivy and Cherry!

 

Old post:

My Lab Fest went fine, and I got to leave at 10:30 this morning, since they were getting back early.  There was a Walmart close-by, which I never go to, so I stopped.  I discovered they have LOTS of bras!  I'd been looking at Kohl's or Macy's, but can never find a decent bra that's not very expensive.  I got a really nice Hanes with no wires for about $15!  And it fits!  My entire life, I have never worn a bra with underwires.  I just can't stand them.  I wonder if I'm weird because there are so many with wires, and women must be wearing them, right? 

Andi, your poor Dad.  I'm so sorry he's falling.  I often fall asleep with the TV on (I have tinnitus, and the sound helps), and wake up at 4 AM.

15 bean soup!  Are there really 15 beans in it?  I think the spinach would be great in a bean soup.

Aw, look at the Patsy cakes!  The flower one is beautiful.

Cindy, I'm very German too!

Love your great-grandma story, Jerilyn!

Yay for Aussie dogs coming!

Wow, that is great that ex's have nice things to say! 

Oh, what a wonderful post from Kerry!  We are all living vicariously through your, and I feel like I'm reading a novel---can't wait to see how it ends.  Your dog, whoever you choose, is there waiting for you.   Oooh, I see the ending of the story now!   "I realized for the first time that if someone adopted him before I did I would be disappointed. I haven't felt that way about any of the other dogs I met."   Yep.  That's how you know. :heart 

I guess most of you know the story of how I adopted Kiva and Laila, and the story is that I fell in love with two dogs when I thought I could only adopt one dog, so I did that (the one who needed me the most), and then ended up adopting the other dog too.  :beatheart

Oh, Kathy, I'm so sorry that Jim is still so confused.  The light therapy would be worth looking into.

Aunt Jennie we are sorry Little Henry had to leave you but now he is at the eternal wheel.    I like that thought!

We are here, we haded our teefers cleaned this  morning in Walnut Creek    Oh, when I lived in Cauli Fornia I used to take the BART to Walnut Creek because there was a really good bagel place close to the Bart station and I would stock up. Last time I was out there, I couldn't find it anymore :weep

I wonder if I'm weird because there are so many with wires, and women must be wearing them, right?     Until I had breast reduction surgery, I wore huge heavy underwire bras that were made to smoosh your boobs and kinda shove 'em under your armpits to reduce the frontal projection. I do KNOT miss those bras! (or those boobs ;))

Oh! A shiny noo club... thanks, Chris & Andi :)

Ivy & Cherry   :kiss2

Spin free, little Henry.    :bighug    Jennie

I had no idea that people arranged their spices alphabetically  :unsure    Mine aren't even on a lazy susan circus wheel.  Just piled up in a box in the cupboard.  Many are just in zip lock baggies.  Works for me!

Underwire bras for everyday use.  'SheFit bras for riding. Gotta keep the girls strapped down. 

The Remembrance Day Ceremony at our LTC this morning was wonderful.   We even had our live piper back with us this year, to lead the procession.  And a real live bugler (well, it was a trumpet) for Taps, too.  And the Military College Cadets to escort the 5 Veterans.

My Goodness!  We started the Club with a GOT reference and a picture of Ivy and Cherry. :beatheart  How auspicious.

Jerilyn, two spice carousels?  Nope. Not enough space. I've got racks along the inside of the pantry door, the big spices on the shelves, and the copycat Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic in the cupboard with the salt, vinegar, Frank's etc.

Jenny, when I moved from Rhode Island to NY, I missed the seafood.  When I moved from NY to Florida, I miss bagels, specially pumpernickel.

Going to shuffle a couple of round bales up in the loft, toss down some squares and get all my nets stuffed before heading out to ride Patty.

Miss Banessa, we got a bit ob rain too and we too needed it butt we did knot get enough to make Ma happy. :dunno

Mam, that sounds like a particularly lubly veterans celebration at your LTC.

I got to bork at a visiting neighbor dog yesterday!  Fun until Ma came out and made me hush. <_< 

Yesterday and today are gloomy and obercast.  Ma wishes we were gonna get more rain butt it does knot look like it.  She's hoping that the clay soil will be soft enough tomorrow for here to do some weeding.  Wif the onset ob cooler weather here I am really enjoying my yard.  I go out and patrol and wonder and sniff and snack ( :evil ) and come in and then go right back out again.  I'm habing great fun!

Hugs to you Jennie on the loss of little Henry. What a lovely safe passing you allowed him. 

Spices are roughly alphabetized on a double decker whirligig and two wall hanging spice racks. Then there is a large overflow smooshed in a puddle and double stacked beside the whirligig. And a small puddle on the stove also double stacked. Since I hardly ever cook beyond doing eggs it's all quite redundant and I do throw them out when I notice they have turned grey. 

During The Plague I discovered the comfort of "bralets" and have wholly converted. I figure as long as I don't scare the small children I'm fine and I love the straps done constantly try to fall off my right shoulder. 

Which, when you think about it, is a truly weird combo of topics to be posting  😜

Mom sez she lubs no more wires in her bras and comfy jog bras that flatten the boobage. :P

She has what she calls stadium seating (stepped rack) for her spices with what she uses most in the front and less used stuff in the back.

Hmmmm spices. I have more than anyone should be allowed to have. A large (4 feet tall!) five drawer wire thing - full, plus about 8-10 three inch tall tubs plus a bunch of the most used ones on the counter. And yes, I use most of them! When friends travel that’s what they bring back for me :rolleyes:
Bras - ABSOLUTELY NO wires! Hate ‘em. 
Now that I am retired, I am going back to making holiday gifts for my close friends. I used to make pickled “stuff”, homemade dried pasta, jars of dry soup ingredients, infused olive oils and spice blends. It used to be great, making up baskets and delivering them. Now almost everyone has moved away and I will have to figure out what I can mail and how. Sigh….

CK did not eat his breakfast again. He’s been off his food for a couple of weeks. Acting normal otherwise. I think he needs a dental. Hadn’t needed one since I got him in 2016. Vet checks them every year and is amazed at how good they are. I think it’s finally time. 
Well now that I’ve written a Piper Nobel, I’m going to see if he’ll eat.
