Still mining the near past, from October, 2014. Not long ago, the remote control was to cartoonists what the smart phone is now, a well one could always return to during a dry spell. One of these days, I’ll learn. I told you I’d have something definitive about the Kickstarter thing, and I do! Sort of. It will begin Monday morning! Unless something totally out of my control prevents it, and I don’t think it will. Tell you what: I will keep you updated with special weekend posts. I’m doing all I can on my end.

If brie or camembert is in a shopping bag and not in a wooden round but just foil, you will be missing half by time you get home. He has a sensitive nose. Has not started drinking wine yet but kisses you passionately when you get in car to see what you ate in restaurant, despite it being your nail salon.
Old Bear: I’ve been on the volunteer chaplain side of things, mostly seeing to it that patients’ rights to religious services and materials are protected. I dispense no drugs, give no medical advice, or anything else that would upset the hospital’s administration. I do a lot of handholding and praying with the patients who will settle for an old trucker’s company.
My favorite activity there has been a class in which I show films and quiz the patients regarding the choices the characters are making… what do you think will happen? was that a good choice? It’s based on the aphorism regarding smart men learning from their mistakes and wise men learning from the mistakes of others.
Nonny, that is one strange cat!
Trucker I was pulling your leg 🙂
There are people that will talk to a layman and not to a professional
You are a caring person – and that is always evident.

7. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
Stay cool – there are little hand held fans with spritzers attached for your personal
cooling system – unfortunately using them means you would be working one handed.
I never did figure how that worked.
You may have heard of the Baker Act and think that is an effective tool. I can tell you from personal experience that it’s a waste of time. The psych wants to get rid of him as fast as possible so you didn’t mean what you said about killing people did you? Ok, you’re good to go. Waving red flags? They’re handing them out on every street corner. I met a lot of crazies and killers in my career, but only one guy that scared me. One glance at him and you would understand why. I was also sure that he was a multiple killer and was not even being investigated. OK, enough sunshine and buttterflys. Tomorrow, tomorrow, or today if you prefer.
Oh, sugar. Did it again.
Jackie, the cheese you get in a wooden round is called a wheel of cheese and if it’s been cut into sections like a cake or a pie, they’re referred to as wedges. And, just to be complete, the big blocks of cheese that are cut into square (or almost square) slices are bricks. I know, because my Dad was working in supermarket delis long before all of the meats and cheeses were pre-sliced and pre-packed. Even if it was wrapped and labeled before you ever saw it, the clerks had to cut, weigh and package it on site.
Good morning Villagers…
Thanks Rusty, we have replaced the filters, with the good kind…don’t know the brand though. Didn’t freeze up yesterday evening…signs of good things to come?
Finally talked Ian into going in early…big deal, a half an hour, still it will be like pulling teeth to get him out of bed.
The Boss is going to stir the pit early this morning, I may wish I had not not gone in early. It was 87 degrees in there when I left.
Two Corporate men came in yesterday and swabbed everything for salmonella…thought they never would get done.
Gotta go, scrubs to fold…..and yes, I do all the laundry for the hen house, and believe me, I do ‘reimburse” myself when I go supply shopping…..or I add an extra hour on my time card every week.
….and it’s Tuesday
love ya’ll
GR 😉 wish I had done this last night….unwanted guests…..

Mark…what movie was that from?
So Jerry and Old Bear, you both have cats named Tippy?

Father Mulcahy in MASH not a movie, TV show, said rather dead pan at party.
Having one of those can’t sleep nights that resulted in one of those life changing epiphanies. A good one that involves getting my boat picked up, going home on time, getting Lezlie on her plane, going home and back to gym to work my buns off literally and get fitter so I can sail her, getting help learning to sail her so she gets used and among get other things getting back onto a healthy eating program and stopping the added calorie intake.
We all need those sudden epiphany moments.
Debbe, I do, didn’t know that he did. You may remember that the Village helped me name him and now it seems like the only name that we could have possibly used. Like the others he definitely knows his name. If we tried any of that “here kitty, kitty” stuff they would thing that I must have lost my aluminum foil hat. 🙂
Debbe, from an episode of Mash. They were watching a movie, I think, and the film broke. So they started doing entertainment bits, and one of them did an impression of Father Mulcahy. Finished up by using one of his favorite expressions.
Jackie: Whatever it takes…

I don’t know why but I traveled with ghosts. At the Maritime Museum I joined as member, got invited to show my boat in their wooden boat show. As I turned and left the manager remarked that he was with me on this trip, not knowing there was more than one spirit she said “you are an extraordinary woman and have been shaped and made who you are by your life and passions. You will never lose that.” That was a lovely comment for a salty broad.
My cats don’t seem to like cheese, but my dog Buddy does. He has rather plebeian tastes, though. Plain old cheddar makes him happy. I do make sure not to give him too much, as his vet says it’s not really that good for him.

Just finished that quiz about ten minutes ago. I go the about 30,500 score. Pretty cool!
Where is that edit button? I “got”, not I ” go”… Geesh!
