The next big thing around here will be the redesign of this Web site. I know. I’ve been talking about that for years, but you didn’t think I’d ever get around to the T shirts, either, did you? Actually, some work already has begun on a new site, but it’s very preliminary at this point. I don’t know how it will look or even what it will contain exactly, but we’ll keep doing what we do now. There’ll simply be more. Anyway, it’s something for the new year.

If Janis was thinking ahead, she’d have some plates of Christmas cookies ready to go. Maybe some fudge, especially since she is fudging on her honesty by re-gifting.
Jimmy, I seem to recall there being talk about Web site redesign around this time last year. I also seem to recall reaction ranging from trepidation to resignation. What I don’t recall was very much enthusiasm about “things changing”, except for perhaps an edit function; a “like” button (whatever the heck that is and whatever the heck purpose it would serve); and sandcastler™’s little animated critters.
In short, I don’t think there will be too much angst amongst the Villagers if you take another year or three to make any “changes”. But hey, you’re the Mayor, and you have ultimate authority over both the Planning Department and Public Works.
@Mark in TTown yesterday – Thank You ! I immediately got a Floyd T-Shirt.
You’re welcome, John. I’m a big Pink Floyd fan and got a good laugh the first time I saw that shirt. One of the men in my Sunday School class got it for the teacher, who was a big music fan himself.
Good morning all. I expressed great satisfaction with my tee shirts arrival yesterday. Love the print Ludwig but the design itself is more dramatic on the red.
Jimmy, the shipping department wasted money by shipping each in it’s own envelope, you could have shoved them all together in one. Why eBay and PayPal made me purchase them individually is unfathomable. There’s that nautical term.
Have a hot Date with a good looking tall young man, very young, who only wants my money. Unfortunately he is my Lowe’s salesman but he’d be a good choice if I wanted to raise someone.
Mark, I didn’t order the Floyd shirt, but I did get a good laugh out of it, so thanks! 🙂
My Luddie shirt is most likely in the mailbox at the foot of the Mountain, so I’ll pick it up when I go out later. Believe me when I say a casual stroll to the mailbox is not a thing done here.
Ghost, who is this Lucy that you write with? For years I had a Christmas morning tradition of exchanging gifts under the tree. Then kids came along and the tradition had to end.
About the new web design, JJ. It is new challenges that keep us going. I know it will be good when you get done, so take your time. Right now, just enjoy the holidays.
JJ, You can certainly make edit any changes to this site that button you want to and edit I certainly wouldn’t try to button tell you how edit to run your business button.
All: ‘flat-chested-lard-arsed’ women need love, too. Perhaps especially since that seems to be an unusual combination.
Have you all seen pictures of George Eliot [pen name of the woman who wrote Silas Marner, which I read in JHS]? Face that would stop a truck, but apparently she was the beloved of her male significant other. I’ve known several hetero couples where one, the other, or both were quite physically unattractive by society’s standards, but where each realized the inner beauty of the other. Even know a few same-sex couples where this would apply.
There’s a line about such a person in the Hebrew Bible, which some have interpreted as being about someone not in the Hebrew Bible. Unfortunately, the photo IDs have been lost. It’s in ‘Messiah’, by Geo. Friedrich Handel. Maybe I’ll do a search.
Peace, emb
Close. The verses quoted in ‘Messiah’ start with Isaiah 53.3. Verse 2 [NKJV], the previous verse, describes this unnamed person thus:
‘He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.’
Capital H in ‘Him’ added by the original KJV translators who regarded these verses as referring to a future Messiah, despite their having grown up among portraits where ‘He’ was not at all homely.

Received my Luddie short nightie today. Love it. Thanks, Marje
A “Luddie short nightie”. See, Jackie, that’s what I meant when I said I needed one in a smaller size in case of an unexpected sleep-over guest. Don’t let the Lowe’s hunk take you for all your money. 🙂
Hi, Marje. New in town? 😉 (Or did I already ask that?)
My sports car t-shirt showed up in my mailbox today, too. Merry Christmas to me! Quality of the color applications is excellent. Nice job Jimbo! Are you enjoying the thought of members of the tribe excitedly tearing open their packages throughout the land?
I got my tee shirt in the mail just now. I absolutely love it. Good quality. You did good Jimmy.
The Lowe’s hunk doesn’t get to sell me the ten sets of seven foot double French doors for my spa conversion yet. He’s holding out for that. I’ll save some for our coastal cruise. I don’t do cruise ships. Did you keep your pilot’s license?
Tee shirt silk screening is superb. Question Jimmy, have you thought of using same screens to print an autographed limited edition numbered frame able piece of non wearable art?
Bet I’m not only one here that’d buy one.
First print: There’s something about a peek.
My tee shirt arrived yesterday. I love it, thanks to Jimmy for all the work it took to make these available.
French door porn?
I’ve lost track, Jackie…are you doing your Saily OK Thing next year?
Yes. In October but I will be coming to Florida in March and April and May for various sailings unless I have the knee surgery somewhere in there. I can give you my tentative boating schedule but a lot depends on this one, surgery.
By October I intend to be down to my size and weight I was in 1977. There’s a reason behind that choice.
The French door porn is to put a wall of French doors facing into my yard that can open outward to natural air or be closed for heat, air conditioning and mosquito control. I am turning my old garage, carport into a spa.
Just got my mail and it seems that Santa made it across the US today. A word for those not sure about your size. I am 5’`10″, weight 185 and waist size 34″ slightly too small and 36″ slightly too big. The large is a perfect fit. but if I were bigger I would want an XL. The quality of the shirt is excellent.
If anyone is holding back on a tee shirt purchase due to the pricing, just look at the unsolicited testimonials already received (and remember they are just now being delivered). And reflect on the times you might have gone to a resort area and dropped $15 to $25 on some cheap, crappy and/or vulgar tee shirt advertising some bar or seafood joint no one ever heard of and is probably already out of business. 🙂
Merry Christmas to me! Got my Cobra tee shirt – wearing it – loving it! Carolina blue is a lovely color.
Just got my T today ! Wonderful wonderful wonderful ! And it was 66 degrees here today so I can wear it tomorrow !
Never mind a resort tee – how much would I have spent on a crappy Cleveland Browns shirt ? Hah ! (“Crappy” modifying “Cleveland Browns” in this case, not “shirt”)
