I’m working on the new book, tentatively entitled “Arlo & Janis after Dark,” and here I am giving away the merchandise. Yes, production of the new book is behind schedule, but I think it’s going to be a lot of fun. And yes, it’s mostly old material, but if you’re worried that you’ve seen a lot of it already, think how I feel.

Processed lacteal secretion product?
Ruth Anne: Enjoyed that food trilogy thought! I wonder if there can ever be a solution, given that taste lies in the opinion of the individual. Considering the stuff A. Zimmern (?) eats on his travels, it just might be the case that SOMEONE would enjoy whatever 3-component mixture another hatches.
OB: gasohol, etc. As written, I could be wrong. Assuredly, I have made errors every day of my life and shall likely continue to do so even with all my training and experience!
Good morning Villagers…
As I entered through the door, there was a mist in the air and silhouettes of furniture outlined the room. I’m at my Dad’s house….he’s getting out of the nursing home rehab on Sunday. The only way they would release him was if someone was with him 24.7 for two weeks. I’m going to go live with Dad those two weeks taking care of someone I love very much.
Making a list of things to take…my Scrabble game (it swivels too), Yahtzee and two stacks of cards and plenty of pennies for poker. (no, not doing a penny tile floor). I’ll be without a computer…gasp! But my one sister said she’d sit with Dad so I can go online at her house in town and do my bill paying and banking.
I’ll be making changes in my lifestyle while there….I’m very excited to do this for my Dad, he’s been there for me for 63 years, what’s two weeks out of my life to give back to him. Oh, and Dad has cats….so there will be purring….good therapy.
later…..
Good morning Old Bear….kinda cold up there right not…here it’s a balmy 13 degrees
GR 😉 yes, you’re definitely it, but we can’t have Christmas until we…..

I missed yesterday’s topic on breaking beds. I have a good reason. I was getting a new bed. As to breaking a bed, yes I have. The slats broke. I don’t remember why. Jackie,I am so sorry about your friend’s tragedy . T his year has been awful.
Debbe: Nice tortie, reminds me of a dear friend’s rescue [personal, from a ditch, starveling kitten] pet. Peace,
Good for you, Debbe. The single thing I’m most proud of about myself was that I was there for my mother the last, difficult months of her life. One day, you will look back and be proud of yourself, too. (I’m sure many here know what I mean.)
Mentioned yesterday’s sundogs. Somebody at The Bemidji Pioneer got a photo shortly after sunrise. Across Lake B. is Nymore, the SE neighborhood of town, site of one of our two water tanks. Peace,
Agreed, Jackie. Personally, I feel our society’s failure to successfully deal with drug addiction and its related deaths and ruined lives is one of its greatest failures.
Here in SW IN, Knox Co. is known as the meth capital…..it’s horrible. One can drive down a country road and see the remnants of a ‘shake and bake’ lab. Then there is this synthetic ‘pot’ that people are overdosing on….I believe this generation is seeking the eternal high, scary to think what it will be like in several years.
When I said I was going to go through some lifestyle changes….I am a smoker….I am quitting Sunday. Its never too late to quit I thought…just do it Debbe…. Plus. I can’t afford it anymore 🙂 Plus, I’ll smell prettier too.
Emb…all my cats have been and are rescue cats…they’re the best friends you can have. Lost my tortie several years ago…Shellee was her name. Cancer took over her, had to let her go. My vet buries the remains of the pets he euthanizes in his back yard…and yes, he does have a big back yard and a big, big heart.

Have lots of links I just saved……my second best version with Celene being the first choice.

…and yes, I saw them in Indy in ’11…fantastic show….
Ruth Anne, my brain now has its goal for the day: consider food triads. I hope it will drive out “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas,” which has been stuck in there for several agonizing days.
Jackie, I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend’s son. Sometimes it feels like the pain of the holidays outweighs the joy, but please try to remember that we feel the pain because the joys were so very joyful.
Thank you, Old Bear, for confirming that was, indeed, Vincent Price. His classically-trained speaking voice was so memorable, but I had never heard him sing. And the makeup made it challenging. Your biography of him was wonderful.
Debbe, you’re going to have a fun-filled couple of weeks. 🙂 Scrabble, Yahtzee, poker…your Dad’s a lucky guy! This is a good way to keep up his rehab exercises and skills, too. One of the hardest things is to stand by while they struggle to do something. We just want to help and do it for them.
Sorry, forgot to post the sundog URL:

Peace,
Debbe- I am rooting for you to conquer your smoking habit. I wish my husband could have stopped. It’s what ultimately killed him. CHF&COPD at 67.
Smigz….and my husband thinks I play solitaire for fun…I play it to keep my brain occupied. Dad was in rehab when I stopped by the other day, and they had him playing cards…putting them in sequence…that’s where I got the idea to bring my games……
If you are ever in Bemidji, especially with kids, you should try this place. It’s not real pricey and, as you can tell from the feedback, the staff are savvy and kids love the place. No, it is not as big as the Science Mus. in St. Paul.

Peace,
Oh Laura…thank you so much for your well wishes…I WILL DO THIS!!!!
So, sleep well in your new bed?
…And Laura, I am so sorry for your loss.
Here’s my third runner up…..

Jackie…please post something to let us know you are….well, still with us. Yes, it will be good to see 2016 in my rear view mirror.
Debbe
I managed to finally quit 25 years ago. One of the hardest things I ever did but you can do it. Be strong.
