I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. I’ve been very busy this week, pushing Kickstarter rewards out the door. Remember the Kickstarter campaign? Sure you do! Yes, it’s true, I’m running a bit behind, but most of the rewards have gone out, and the few that have not will be out by the end of the month. Except for the new book. But there is good news there, and I’ll share it next week. I hope you have a better Saturday than I’m expecting!

GR6: This year, Christmas is on a Sunday.
One of the reasons for the high accident rate at Thanksgiving IS the Christmas shoppers, the sales and Black Friday. People go a little crazy and drive with too little sleep, stay up for hours on end to shop.
Blaming the wrong turkeys.
No Ghost, I have postponed my knee surgery until spring. I decided tornadoes were easier to deal with than ice. I did pass my doctors but there are too many compounding issues to feel good about having it done.
In truth I am neither physically, fiscally or mentally stable enough to bite that off. I will be making some dramatic changes necessitated by circumstances and I do not know if I can handle this with both legs working.
I have been quite dramatically foolish and too easily fooled, two separate issues of course.
cxp: Oops, Sunday it is. The flux capacitor in the Checker Cab must have been slightly out of alignment.
OK, but remember, you asked for it.
Q. Why do blondes wear legwarmers?
A. To keep their ears warm.
MWL, a blonde, told me that one.
Oh, Jackie … As bad as that? No, no. Get some sleep and morning will be better. Can you get some help and advice from trustworthy friends? You are doing everything yourself. Relax, find someone to lean on. With love from Charlotte.
My daughter, a redhead like her Mom, but occasionally blonde, told me the ‘Green side up’ blonde joke. My two favorite blondes [I don’t ask, or look at hair roots] are both pretty sharp.
BTW, I reported here, or in broadcast emails, or both, that Ring-billed Gulls had left here a wk before TG. Saw three today. Mostly light rain today, hi lows 40s, windy, bleak.
Peace,
The local weather prognosticators underestimated how productive this storm would be. Here in the valley we had 5 inches on top of our cars (scraped off 3 inches before work, 2 more afterwards) and it’s still snowing.
Jackie: That sounds serious enough to concern me. Remember what I said about when not to make important decisions.
I have been seriously considering all this. I did all last week. That is when I cancelled my surgery so my doctor could fill the slot. I hope by spring some things may be better and I go through the approval steps again.
Will talk to one of my guardians about issue with Trigger, he was with State Farm for years before he went back to the other side of table. I sent him message and he will talk to me about that.
But Jackie has to face reality. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt.
About the weather. The South looks awful with severe weather and tornadoes. The mountain west looks awful with snow storms. Is everyone ok out there?
I remember those December tornadoes in North Louisiana. Did not like them.
Good morning Villagers….
Septic is still not working, husband ran washer yesterday and water come back in….in both tubs and shower stall, must be line from washer….need that drain snake again.
Good to see everyone’s safe return.
Wore carharts in henhouse yesterday….actually worked up a sweat knocking $hit off curtain backs, going back in today as it will be 63 today……temps start dropping on Wed.
Jackie, I’m where your at too, or else I wouldn’t be going in and slinging manure. Insomnia is killing me. Sending a prayer your way……Amen.

Today’s TIP BlogSpot: Peace,

Debbe, I don’t know if I want to try anything new. They changed one of mine and the one that helps control my inflammation and pain is one they never seem to get refilled on time so I end up on 30, off ten and in acute pain.
New drug not working like it is touted to perform.
Jimmy, Janis is apparently not of the “stuff a tissue up your sleeve” school. You know it’s love when you can handle each other’s dirty tissues with barely a wince.
Jackie, it sounds like a heck of a lot is happening to and around you right now. If you are able, you may wish to share this with your doctor and ask her/him to suggest a counselor to help you navigate through this time. The journey of a thousand miles… Please, take one step for yourself.
emb, I bet one of the gulls was saying to the other two, “I TOLD you we should have left two weeks ago!”
TruckerRon, isn’t it amazing that some people have never even seen snow, let alone scraped five inches off their car?
Smigz, even when I was growing up in Memphis we had some amazing snow storms. Not every year, mind you, but a few that were traffic stopping, getting us out of school, building snow men and forts kind of snow! We had lived in Rockford IL when I was little, so my dad was an old hand at driving in snow and taught me well.
I didn’t fear driving in snow until I was into trucking and saw too many fools who drove just as fast in snow as on dry pavement. Watching them slide helplessly off the road at speed convinced me they were more dangerous than the snow itself!
Prayers for folks in Louisiana, Ohio, Tennessee.
When my daughter was confirmed as a Catholic the Archbishop did her services. We had front row seats in cathedral right by him. He had a cold and he kept his hanky in sleeve of his robes.
I stick mine in my bra but when dirty you have to find a trash can.
Debbe 😉 Whenever I get down, I think of you, your Carhartts, and The Dance of the Seven Zippers™. And I smile. 🙂
BTW, what would your Stripper Name* be?
*First name = Name of first/favorite pet; Last name = Name of street or road you live on or nearest to.
Anyone else?
Pumpkin Lake.
That sounds like something out of Stephen King.
First cat was Pumpkin when I was about three or four. I live on Lake Aire but back driveway is on Kiamichi.
So, Pumpkin Aire or Pumpkin Kiamichi?
Pumpkin Kiamichi. Brings to mind a young Asian lady with…well, you know.
Yeah, that’s the one I liked too. I was thinking Indian Princess with lots of leather fringe and beads and feathers.
Wait, Cher did that already didn’t she?
