Happy New Year! If this cartoon seems familiar, it’s because it ran only two years ago. I hope you’ve enjoyed the holidays. I like years when Christmas and New Years Day come on Friday. It’s as if everyone tacitly agrees the official holidays will be stretched out for an extra two days. However, Monday can be a hard landing. Brace yourselves!

Pretty indecent. I always wanted my own chef or at least one I enjoyed cooking with, not for. I already know about driving, first aid, laundry, fire arms and personal trainer! And I can make them too but didn’t know what they were called. Love Dim sum. No one in Oklahoma even knows.
Oh right, I put someone through hotel restaurant school didn’t I? No formal training needed. Did that.

Debbe 🙂 But then, I excite pretty easily. 😉

I’m taking an extra long lunch break to see my P&P Hair Stylist tomorrow. Of course, I’ll have to be on good behavior, since I’m taking my Mom with me to get her hair trimmed. P&PHS always expects a hug before I leave (and you’ll recall that the second “P” stands for “pneumatic”), but I suppose I’ll have to be a little more discreet and circumspect about it tomorrow.
No visible drooling?
I’ve lost 2.6 pounds of Holiday Gluttony in the last nine days, none of it drool. 🙂
As I said, don’t obsess, just progress.

The definition of CAT:
Four legged mammal that wants to be on the other side of the door.
I have some that cannot stand a closed door – especially one that had been open.
They go out and turn around and come back in. One goes out 2 come in –
2 go out 1 comes in and one on the way out returns. MBH has retired but has a
full time job as door opener.
BTW – our Christmas decorations don’t come down till after Twelfth Night 6 Jan.

I apologize – thinking about it – I should not have said ethanol turns to acid.
It is corrosive – similar but not the same. Like Pumpkins and Squash.
The Oxygen is the agent- yes?
I think I read that H2O is the universal solvent.
When talking to people not as erudite as the Village we have to keep it simple.
Good morning Villagers….
Overslept again….didn’t want to get out of bed. Our furnace quit working last night. All it would do is blow cold air, and temps were to get down to 19 degrees. (It’s 25 degrees on my front porch) I have a little space heater I keep in the master bedroom’s bathroom. It actually kept the bedroom warm. Husband turned on gas oven, then turned it off before he came to bed. I’ve just turned it back on. I’m NOT standing there making lunch and breakfast shivering. I just pray it’s nothing like “you need a new furnace.” …no pilot light, something about a thermocoupler….
That’s OK, Jackie….
Good one Old Bear
GR 😉 good to read your Mom is getting out and about with you today.
Jerry, still love your one line snippets 🙂
Ya’ll have a blessed day..
Water dissolves many things, but not oils, either kind. Soapy water is different, and those are not true solutions. c x-p knows more about it than I. Peace, emb
Alcohol is sometimes held to be the the universal social lubricant.
Debbe, I feel your pain about the furnace. Ours went on the blink a week or so ago, and the only saving grace is that it has an emergency heat feature. It keeps the house warmish, but not quite where we’d like it. Husband thought it was the thermostat so he installed a new one, but that’s not the answer, it seems. This morning he called the repair guy, who can be out here this afternoon, I hope. The temps have dropped for the moment, and it is 27F outside right now. brrrrrrrrrrr!
Bear, I have indoor cats that do not go outside, and outside cats that don’t come in, and one outdoor cat that is campaigning to come in, which might be okay, except she doesn’t like my dog, so for the time being she stays outside.
