I said I would come in today, on Saturday, to tell you a little more about the A&J T shirts that will be available soon, and so I have. To make things easier for all, you can go here for detailed information about the short-sleeve shirts and go here for information about the long-sleeve shirts. The official Gildan Web site will give you the technical details about the shirts, as well as the colors. (Remember, the short-sleeve shirts are available in Carolina blue, charcoal, military green, natural and sport gray, and the long-sleeve shirts are available in black, gold, light pink, red and sand.) There also is a size chart available. The handsome young men are not included.
I thought I would give you my general impressions of our product. These are Gildan’s “Ultra Cotton” line, the best they offer. They are 6-ounce cotton shirts, about the heaviest basic T generally available. All are from 100% American-grown cotton, except the “sport gray” version which, for some reason, is 10% polyester. However, I’ve seen it and felt it; it’s a good shirt. I have worn these shirts around for several weeks and washed them—of course. These shirts fit. When I say that, I mean they are neither clingy nor baggy. I wear a large T shirt normally, and the large Gildan is comfortable. Maybe I shouldn’t encourage you to purchase the wrong size shirt, but if you like your shirt really comfy loose, as many do, you might consider getting a size larger than normal for you. The actually colors of the shirt don’t always match up with the corresponding colors on the Web. Oddly, the shirt colors tend to be more vivid, I think. And remember, you can see the artwork on the shirts by clicking on the link at the top of this post. I’ve said about all I can say about T shirts. Now I’m going to watch the Auburn/Alabama game. War Eagle!!

That is actually a good idea Mark. My good friend Sean Mulligan did a huge event on Lake Havasu and people came to it more to have fun than anything serious, came to Arizona from all over and wives came for the resorts and events.
I will think about this one.
Dear Jackie, let’s not get too excited about this fantasy event. It’s a fine daydream! But very few of the Villagers could really travel like this. Health problems, or can’t get away from work, or don’t have the money to spend on transportation, or just plain too old to go for it! You are a dear to think of giving us a good time. Better that you concentrate on your own good health, as you have been doing so well.
I’m very disappointed that you have to wait so long for the procedure! I feel the same way as your doctor’s assistant. I’d hoped you would have it done today or tomorrow. Vain regrets.
Anony, get well first.
Charlotte, we could bring the event to New Hampshire so all of us the partake of the primary. 👿
Re today’s [30 Nov.] cartoon:
1. It’s both funny and accurate; many who obsess / their wt. are actually well w/in the norm.
2. IMO, Janis is just right [i.e., “More than a handful is wasteful.”]. That’s about how wife looked in a nightie or slip when about 50, and for 30 subsequent yr. Judging / the amt. of time Arlo spends at peeking, Arlo agrees w/ me. Maybe Jimmy does, too. Maybe he knows better than to opine.
Could be 3″-4″ on ground by tomorrow evening. Temps are still not much below 0C; we’ll see if it stays. Duty day at the hospital; good day to be indoors.
Peace, emb
EMB,
NOT TRYING TO MAKE YOU JEALOUS BUT THE TEMPERATURE HERE TODAY IN BATON ROUGE WAS 78 F AND TOMORROW WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60’S, BUT, IT TURNS “COLD” WEDNESDAY. LOW OF 43 F! I JUST WANT TO SEE PICTURES OF ALL THAT SNOW, NOT EXPERIENCE IT FIRST HAND!
BLESSINGS ON EVERYONE.
Rain, snow, cold, blah. Give me this to make me happy http://www.pusheen.com/image/133970878336
Oh boy, Sandcastler, I like your sense of humor — about the New Hampshire Primary. We have already had Presidential hopefuls, of both parties, visiting my town. (I didn’t go to look at them, but could do so in the future if it takes my fancy.)

Not only battery watches but wind up also would not keep time on some people.
FIL had an old Ingersoll Dollar Watch that he would, every once in a while run under the spigot
of the kerosene barrel – used wrist watch only for dress, they could not take the gaff on the farm.
The first watch I remember my dad having, when I was about five years old, was an Elgin with a gold case and gold band; a square black face; and gold hands. I should try to find one like that.
I also know the last one he had; I gave it to him for his birthday several years before he died…an Elgin with a gold case; a black band; a square black face; and gold hands. It stays mostly in my jewelry box, but I wear it on my parents’ anniversary; on his birthday; and on holidays.
He loved holidays.
Debbe 😉 Wow, this is getting hard to do without repeating…which I probably already have.

Good morning Villagers…..
Now I have seen it all…not really, but started out reading BCN (sorry Jimmy, but I always save the best for last) and found out people are scaring their cats with cucumbers. One poster posted this link:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2015/11/151117-cats-cucumbers-videos-behavior/
People are %$##ing stupid…..and I’ll say no more on the subject.
Jackie, good idea, but I am like Charlotte’s comments….
Spent an hour on the phone last night with the Marketshare peepeecawcaw bS Obamacare insurance. I do have to admit, the lady was very helpful and got my rate down $200 to roughly $150 per month with a $500 deductible, and $1 co-pay on office visits and ‘scripts….ya can’t beat that when you are poor.
And yes GR 😉 I could and did have moves like that….one time I was asked if I danced professionally by a movie crew that was filming in Corpus….like I said, a long time ago, it was. I loved dancing…..and I march to a different drum. That was cute too, trying for the emoticon…..
Mark…that was the kind of Timex I always wore….an Indiglo!! I would ask people if they knew what time it was…they’d say no…then I would say “want to see my innie glo” 🙂
better go on that one……
Ya’ll have a blessed day
Old Bear….thanks for the info…you are so full of wit…I look forward to your posts in the mornings….
GR 🙂 no that was not a repeat…my husband has a hard time sleeping, and I came out to this song playing (link posted)…Sunday was 14th anniversary of his death. To quote the Harrison family statement:
“He left this world as he lived in it, conscious of God, fearless of death, and at peace, surrounded by family and friends,” the Harrison family said in a statement. “He often said, `Everything else can wait but the search for God cannot wait,’ and `love one another.’ ”

It’s +30F out. Start of an article in the online Bemidji Pioneer:
“BEMIDJI—Snow and wind this week might keep Lake Bemidji from finishing its freeze. The sheets of ice spreading mostly over the east side of the lake are so thin a dusting of snow
could push the ice under water, that a gust of wind could crack the ice into pieces. An early December flirtation with freezing is the new normal, said John Fylpaa of Lake Bemidji State Park, with milder falls and springs causing a shorter season of ice coverage. “We still haven’t had any subzero days,” said Fylpaa, a park naturalist. The kind that “cool the lake down and make ice real nice.” They aren’t coming this week. The National Weather Service predicts highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s, with a few inches of snow Monday night into Tuesday. Winds will gather speed and reach 10-15 mph by the weekend.
According to the park, this will be the eighth time in 10 years that Lake Bemidji has waited until December to freeze. The freeze-over date usually fell in late November until about 20 years ago. Four of the five latest freeze-overs on record (beginning in 1958) have come since 1998. With the usual thaw date also coming earlier—about the last week of April—the lake is covered in ice less than ever.
“One of the things showing up big-picture,” Fylpaa said, “is there could be more evaporation.” Less ice means more direct sunlight, he said, “and the lake could end up being warmer overall, and there are some coldwater species that could be affected.”
Ice fishermen are affected, too. “There’s no safe ice,” Fylpaa said, but 4 inches usually can support a person. The uneven freezing on Lake Bemidji—much of the west side is uncovered—causes unpredictability. . . ..”
Fylpaa [it’s Finnish] is a delightful guy, a good park naturalist, and IMO, was the best actor [Mr. Dolittle] in Bemidji Community Theatre’s MFA some year’s back.
Peace, emb
Debbe, I swear, when I perfect my WABAC Machine, the first place I’m gonna go is Corpus in, what, about 1975?
By the way, one of the moves I remember from Flashdance is the one where she took off her bra without removing her sweatshirt. (I believe Janis has done that one, too.)
WABAC question. Do you become your 1975 self or will you remain your 2015 self? A critical factor in the seduction of the 1975 Debbie.
Spell check is not a WABAC fan, tried to convert it to Wabash. https://youtu.be/aZiQ89_s67Q
Yes, I frequently post links to Johnny’s music. I was listening to him pre 1975 😉
He was a favorite in the NCO clubs, along with Kenny Rodgers and Glenn Campbell. Dates me, eh?
That presumes that 2015 me could not “seduce” 1975 Debbe. 🙂
Lady Mindy, there are some calculations I can do without a calculator. 😉
“Class, for extra points, calculate the percentage of Janis’s body that is naked in Panel 3 of today’s cartoon. Round your result to the nearest whole number. You must show your work.”
A series about weight loss and/or body image? Hum. Ever get the feeling Jimmy eavesdrops on us here in the Village? Ah, Anonie, what was the name of that book, TV show, whatever, you mentioned? “How to Look Good Naked”? (I hope Jimmy overheard that. 🙂 )
Feel good naked. It enables you to be naked and accept your body comfortably with pride even if you have six layers of clothes on top. The clothes are not disguising fat. Believe me, nothing disguises fat. Fat will out, as Shakespeare said.
And yes, it is both about changing your body, your mind, your attitude toward yourself. At my much advanced age I feel like I own any room I walk into and it reflects because the words I hear most are radiant and glowing.
No plastic surgery yet, no makeup most of time, clothes that cover most of me but yes, I am naked all the time now. Even with clothes.
Ghostly One.
1 ( Depends on year
2 ( Not able to see butt
3 ( Conservative estimate 15% covered
4 ( Answer: 85% uncovered
5 ( If top was off 95% uncovered
Sand, I will tell you I remember Johnny Cash when Johnny wasn’t country but a young skinny teen idol in 1950’s along with Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. They were all part of the rockabilly sound but we just called it rock and roll.
