I get the fashion of belts however I've decided that belts likely work better if God has given ya hips.

But they're for your waist. So if you buckle the belt a smidge tighter around the waistline, you'll then have the "illusion" of hips! Problem solved!

Walt use to sit in the Gazebo in his very own Coleman Chair.

Did you get him a new chair (if you replaced the Coleman), or did you buy him a small sofa so that he could lounge out even more? Doggies like their comfort, you know!

Two pieces of good news:

1. Stepgrandfather is doing much better, according to my grandmother. He's getting a treatment that's working very well for him
2. Getting a new little cousin this January.

Woohoo!

So happy to hear this uplifting news for you on both accounts!!

I prefer to use for what it stands for-- "be right back". So if anyone reads a post from me with I really do mean "be right back" not swearing.

Ha! That's funny. Actually, the reason why I'm replying to your post is because FINALLY someone explained what the "brb" meant! For the longest time, I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for deciphering that for those of us who are perpetually uninformed!

I've heard of apple and pear shaped women but this? This is new to me.

I think it's called potato shaped woman, is that correct @donaldtoo ?

 

[MinnieM123]

You think that's weird? Man, mine are way weirder than yours. I always think about writing them down, too, because they'd make some very interesting movies!

Yup, real sci-fi stuff!!! Dreams can be really strange!!

1 day until Friendship Day.

There's just something about this wonderful picture you shared, that sent me to a happy place!!

I have been making a lot of roasted potato wedges. Cut potatoes. A little olive oil, a little seasoning ( my favorite right now is a blend from Penzeys called Northwoods), mix it up. Put on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with a little Pam. In the oven at 425 for 25-30 min, turning occasionally. Tastes like fries, and much better for you.

I do the same except I use Mrs. Dash and line my baking tray with foil for easier clean-up.

Still too many steps.
Here's how I approach the problem:
Step 1 - Look at the calendar. Hope it's Wednesday. If not, wait until Wednesday.

No more steps. This was not actually a list.

Well, that's just plain lazy.

Am the only one skipping over all this stuff about Cecil the Lion because it all just makes me sick to read about?

Nope, tired of hearing about it. There's illegal game killing everywhere from rhinos in Africa to moose in Alaska but everyone is focusing on this one incident.

I cannot agree more.. there has been entirely to much independent interpretation of the emoticons. There is one on the list that as far as I am concerned has absolutely no meaning and that would be this one. For the life of me I cannot think of any use for it, so perhaps that would make a good "beeped out" signal.

Or perhaps we could lobby Steve to add more diverse ones to the list. For a site this size it has the fewest that I have seen online and it is obvious that many do not use them in the manner that was originally intended.

Duly noted. Although I'm sure we could figure out what you meant based on context.

Most of the time, that is true... but, it isn't foolproof. Better to be more specific. The biggest offender in my opinion is . Anyone that has had pre-teen or teenagers know the exact meaning of that one. And it ain't good.

That is so cute.

We still watch our Handy Manny dvds.

I heard that . . . i must try and find it at some point.

I finished up my bean soup last night. It was yummy. I love soup any time of year. Great way to get lots of veggies in a meal.

I can eat soup a lot too. I've been eating salads every day.

The illusion I get. It is the practical that fails when loading down cargo shorts with stuff, then the mechanics of a belt doesn't work so well and I have that teen slouching cargo shorts look going on. I'm way too old for that look. The phone in my back pocket and wallet in the other seems to work. If not I carry either a nylon string back pack (very small) or an equally small cross body purse. The cargo thing and me just doesn't seem to work.

Yes they do. We used this medicine on the hospital called proprafol that comes in a small white bottle like milk used to. It puts patients asleep so I like to say it's milk and cookie medicine.
