@StarWarsGirl it's an official gift giving day

 

[Cesar R M]

Lights are flickering

Who you gonna call? GHOST BUSTERS!!

You'll never guess which house I belong to

Just think you are saving money on commute costs, dry cleaning, wear and tear on your car and eating out for lunch by working from home.

Dry cleaning doesn't apply. I wear jeans to work.

Gotta love wash and wear! To me my standards are is it clean does it have holes, etc.

I thought James McAvoy was well known but maybe it's the British in me. Though I do like Timothee Chalamet and he is an America actor.

Oh I'm sure he's famous..but I'm terrible with actors' names, and since I haven't watched any of the movies he's in except for the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, I wouldn't recognize his face or have any reason to know who he is.

Our power went off last night, but I was sleeping, so don't know what time. Hubs stays up late, so he must have rebooted computers, etc., before he went to sleep, because everything (now) is o.k. I think it might have happened prior to 1:55 AM, because he didn't adjust the electric clock on the stove; and it was pulsing 1:55 when I went down there to make coffee, this morning.

Still, things can be iffy. The winds are up all day long and still raining. (Winds lowering to 30ish gusts -- winds were up to 60ish and gusting last night.

Hope your power stays on and it was just a flicker. Like I said, I wouldn't be surprised if ours could go out again at some point.

Been working from home and everything's been fine. But a couple of streets down from me lost power this morning. I leave my house at 545 in the morning and didn't want to go out. I know the storm was over except for wind and the small amount of rain but I hate driving in the dark/wind and rain equals a stressful ride so I stayed home.

BTW.....I have peanut butter if anyone wants to take it from me. I eat way too much of it and the rest of my stash is very tempting. I probably won't buy peanut butter from Amazon where you get 6 at a time again.

You only buy 6 at a time?

Thats understandable and who knows if there could be poles down, debris in the road, or even flooded stuff.
Better safe than sorry.

Not everyone shops by the league for fabric

Well I buy 12 (6 for one kind) but I'm only one person. You have a village.

Speaking of Peanut Butter. There's only one in my household but I get Peanut Butter in jars from BJ's two at a time. They are close to the size of a 55 gallon drum. I know it's almost nothing! But it is my primary food group. I have Peanut Butter at least once a day. If not for a meal, usually breakfast, than for a snack with crackers. I have one complaint though. When is anyone going to invent something that is easy to use when you get to the bottom. I'm tired of the sides of my hands being covered with PB. Make the mouth of the jar wider or put it in a rectangle tight package like Cream Cheese or tub Margarine.

Just use a long-handled spoon to scoop out what's left, on the sides and bottom of jar.

Or a spatula, but that isn't an easy utensil to use to spread it on soft bread. Plus that makes it one more thing that has to be cleaned. I want my life easy.

I love peanut butter too and almond butter. I put a tablespoon in my oatmeal every morning for extra protein. It’s yummy. Add blueberries too of course.

You put a tablespoon of peanut butter in your morning oatmeal AND blueberries, too? That's advanced oatmeal.

To her defense, Oatmeal, by itself, brings very little flavor to the party.

Scoop it out with your finger. No cutlery cleaning required.
