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!

Fluffy Magnolia
Last three comments could be a movie set around a family wedding.
Or has that already been filmed?
ruth anne, that was a Grateful Dead tune wasn’t it?
“Fluffy Magnolia” would fit right in at an Atlanta “Gentleman’s Club”.
This is funny. Come on, someone else do this.
I am dealing with problems with truck, depressing. And the boats, more depressing.
We need more exotic dancers. There are male dancers too, like the Chip and Dale’s.
So who would you be Mr. Ghost? Not Magic Mike.
Buster Cherry.
You have got to be kidding! Your dog was named Buster?
Jeez, what a dance team this would be. Buster, Fluffy and Pumpkin, who I think was actually Punkin, sounds like a street gang of little kids from a family movie in 1940s or 50s.
Annie Pine Ridge.
Exotic? Thunder from Down Under, as in a recent TIP BlogSpot. However, I prefer the other gender, as in the Folies Bergere, ’52-’53. That was not in the dictionary, but now is.
Peace,
This is lovely. I think I am coming to Mississippi again. No one can tell me anything about Trigger. No record of incident report, no one in State Troopers can tell me, Allstate has nothing, beyond my reporting it. Trigger is inside building to avoid interior damage from rain at $45 a day for 30 days.
Wrecker yard does all work for local Ford dealer in Tupelo. I think I need to visit Tupelo and New Albany.
Ghost, answer my questions about the urns on your mama’s and sister’s graves. I will design their pieces and bring along.
Among stuff I am going to do is go back to work. I am going to turn my garden house I built for a boat designers office into a small silk flower shop and go back to work. Might as well. There is a cemetery right across the road aND my heating and air conditioner repairman owns strip shopping center with empty spaces down there. Think that is viable.
Beauty Harrison Beauty was my favorite cat’s name and Harrison is where I live.Not as interesting as Fluffy Magnolia or Buster Cherry.
First pet was a black mongrel, smooth-coated, of unknown parentage. “Cappy” was the name applied by someone during WWII. Lived then on 60th Avenue, but that doesn’t provide anything like a good name unless one wants to think of a long line of dogs named “Cappy” to get “Cappy LX”.
The nearest cross street was 60th Street, which isn’t much better for name generation.
Cappy developed a knack for nipping people, so he was made to move on. I was too young to know the details.
Laddie Amber
Favorite pet was probably Kaschka, a cat. She was grey/black with a yin-yang design on one side and target on the other. She survived living on Lambert, Springhill, Hukill, Vassar, 5th, Pine, and Meyer before expiring at about 17 or 18 years.
Laura from AR, Beauty Harrison sounds like a private eye! I would be Petey Kraft.
Cory, a DSH, is still missed eight years later.
Jackie, I keep mine in a holster. Though the Canadians tend to frown on the behaviour.
I am selling my boats, all of them. The ones I don’t sell I will end up giving away but I plan on selling the four bigger and nicer ones. Probably donate the ones under construction to the boat shop nonprofit if they will take them.
Guys, this took a lot of thought to do and took me forever to commit to. I am making arrangements now, placing ads, paying to keep her in marina, getting my friends to handle showing and sailing Stella. I will have to handle Cookies here. Not happy but pulling head out of rabbit hole.
Back to the weather. Has anyone had tornadoes today?
Hail? Wind? Fire?
Horrible news for Tennessee. I mean, the tourism is tasteless but some like it and it is always sad to lose homes, businesses, pets.
Have a tornado plsn.
Jimmy, a cat, our first pet; Broadway. Could work!
Jackie, it took a lot of guts to decide to sell your beloved boats. You are one tough lady.
Correction: Annie Appletree. Peace,
These are some funny names guys. How did you happen to come up with this name game? Playing at a party in 1985?
In 1985 my favorite cat was Fluffy and I lived on BalHarbor
Fluffy washed out of a blown out condo we think because she washed up on a large piece of driftwood behind ours. Pure white dsh who lived through a hurricane and cancer to be about sixteen.
My, I see we must have a drag queen impersonator among us, Annie Appletree’. This is funny name game.
First dog I remember was when I was seven. He lived until I was in college. Nasty Boy.
Yeah, 1985 would be about right. I remember one Johnny Carson came up with in a Tonight Show skit…a stripper named Helen Bed. I believe there is also a minor actress named Helen Bed.
Jackie, Allstate should have opened a claim when you initially reported the loss; given you a claim tracking number; and assigned a claims adjuster to your case. If you have a claim number, you can check the status online. If not, call your agent or 1-800-ALLSTATE. Certainly something should have happened in 30 days.
Was the accident worked by a city policeman, a county deputy, or a state trooper? That should determine which agency has the accident report on file.
State troopers out of New Albany. They gave me a report number which I turned in to Allstate. Allstate gave me a report claim number. I have talked to my agent twice since then, the State Trooper office twice and left phone number twice (no one called), the claims adjuster for Allstate three times who tells me there is no incident report available.
That is true, I have been putting the number and my name and license number into the Report Beam site on Internet and it comes back No Record. Allstate is asking me to file on my insurance and more or less forget the jerk girl who hit me. Allstate is my policy. No one even knows who hit me but they have the car impounded.
So much red on weather map. It looks like red ink spilled on Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
