Late fall is beginning to arrive around here. After several days of blustery wind and rain, bright blue skies and seasonably cool temperatures finally have arrived. I’ll be driving again today, and it’s looking like conditions will be excellent. In my opinion, we’re due for a milder winter; the past three have been harsh by our admittedly low standard. I guess that’s about all the news around here. Be sure to come back soon!

Recently divorced Giada, out on the town with the girls. Not too shabby for 45, I gotta admit.

(Waiting for the good football games to come on, if you couldn’t tell.)
So, are they real and is that what they call a “ledge” ?
We do all know who the Mama’s and Papas and Beach Boys are, right?.
Slowly losing weight still and documenting what I eat on Facebook which makes me make thoughtful choices and works better than a food diary. Photos don’t lie. I don’t know how to Photoshop anything.
Am down to my smallest size in over six years and lowest weight in ages. In fact I am smaller than any of the stored clothes so most are being given away. I don’t remember most.
Plus going through boxes and boxes of my late mother in law and my mother, also being given away. It goes to a local church run charity called God’s Helping Hands of whom I have been a major donor for many years. I like to know there isn’t a board and expenses between me and the recepients. Love.
Giada has more of a “shelf” than a “ledge”, I’d think, Anonie. Or, perhaps more properly, a “spice rack”. Although very petite ladies tend not to be that busty (you may know some exceptions), I’d guess “real”. Even if they’re not, they’re still real nice.
Proud that you are still on track toward your goal.
GR6, and what about the posing of the pic, so the words “touch me” appear over her right shoulder? Talk about asking for trouble! Was 45 the age or the measurement?
Here;s a comic for Anonymous: http://www.chron.com/entertainment/comics-games/comic/Non-Sequitur/
About small women, I am trying to get down to that “handful ” category but it is going to depend on the size of your hands I would think. I dug through some old stored items and was shocked to find some upscale nice lace bras. They are still perfect, we will see if they fit with the weight loss?
AM smaller than either daughter now but only an inch or too taller than they. We will see if anything is worth saving among stored clothes, they look too big already but some of new ones are too. Luckily I like loose clothes best.
Although I really HAVE jumped the shark with the metallic python jeggings unless that was a shipping error? I wake up in middle of the night and buy things, perhaps in my sleep?
Really don’t miss football at all but I hear Oklahoma has a contender for national championship? Did we win?
45 is the age. I’d guess the other is 45 minus 10. (She’s about 5’2″ and I’d guess 115 in the buff.
::Pauses for hyperventilation::
Anonie, your central heat is still out? AccuGuesser says 23 for your low tonight.
Ghost, nice picture, but I wouldn’t want to be seen with her. Not while she’s wearing (?) that dress. It reminds me of my first visit to Bourbon Street. Once you’ve seen two….
If I ever start ordering things on-line in my sleep, a Russian mail-order bride named Tamara may show up on my doorstep.
GR6, mine would be 36 and named Katya.
Anonie, #7 Oklahoma has a 9-1 record, but #4 Oklahoma State is 10-0. And #2 Ohio State (previously undefeated) lost today. So if either OU or OSU wins tonight, they should move up.
Debbe 😉 and Jean dear, AccuGuesser says it will be 20 and 33 on your respective front porches tomorrow morning. I can offer warm thoughts, if that will help. 😉
They are calling for a morning low of 39° on our deck on the big bay.
You’re in charge of your own warm thoughts, sand. 😀
So Herbie got new tires on Thursday, and tonight on my way home, his serpentine belt gets knocked off by all this damn snow – just like it did last year. Mercifully this year, one sad sounding phone call later convinced my cousin to come down and replace it. In the dark. In the cold. In the snow. And standing in a massive slush puddle. I had flashlight and tool handing duty. Much to my cousin’s dismay, he forgot the correct belt configuration. There is no longer a diagram under the hood for reference. And because Herbie is a one-off, the Internet wasn’t very helpful. Almost two hours later, the belt finally spun correctly. Yay!
Herbie is nominally a 1992; however, he has parts from ’91 and ’93 model years – factory assembled. I learned long ago to bring the part I am replacing whenever possible. One of these days I plan on calculating the exact assembly date – Herbie has to either a end of model year, holiday, or Friday/Monday car.
And we got SIX INCHES of snow! The original forecast said maybe MAYBE one to three! Not nice.
Well, that kills the garden and flowers I guess. Didn’t look good a little while ago.
Yes, Ghost, central heat is waiting for its caretaker to show to replace part and do annual cleaning and cold weather check. It’s a warm house and we’ll insulated and I have electric heaters but I forgot to ask minions to locate them. They went and bought covers and insulated all the outdoor plumbing and,faucets for me just now.
The back half oh house has it’s own central heat and air so Glen isn’t going to freeze if he has it on yet?
I could have used him shooting some body today, they stole my beautiful compass rose off the new fence and tried to get the giant Texas stars off as well, bent them up in half. I am disgusted and back to thinking about electrifying the fence. Hate thieves and vandals. We had them screwed in with multiple screws to prevent.
Need to bring in cats. Two are down cuddled on the fainting couch at foot of bed. I am missing several yet.
Copied this for this group, but forgot what it is about. Enjoy. emb

Solipsism.
anony, put them on the inside
Or connect the fence charger to the ornaments since they’re metal.
Use this type of screw to attach them.

That is what I had thought about but I’d hate to accidentally shock someone but I would not mind electrocuting the thieves.
This is why I was never chosen for juries. I would smite them all down.
You cannot accidentally shock someone who is trespassing on your property and trying to remove something attached to your fence if the only thing electrified is the object of the theft, in my opinion. If the whole fence was electrified, then you chance shocking wildlife, your own animals and anyone who comes in contact with the fence, including yourself or your employees. Maybe you should have your K-9 officer put up some warning signs of his own. Mount some used firing range targets on the fence. Ones with lots of good hits.
