Oh, and just remembered, images of a double rainbow from over the weekend while making a TSSFFBR (the second one is difficult too see in my pics, but, was very evident in person, of course )...!

On how wonderful! We saw a rainbow, that was made up of four rainbows, stuck together. It was in the mountains, after a thunderstorm, unfortunately we didn't have a camera.

Yep, I remember when MTV first came on the air. Fortunately, a short-lived novelty to me, others, not so much. And, it just got completely stupid over the years like every other groundbreaking channel.
"Reality" TV. Follow the money trail...all those once valid channels wouldn't be airing the carp they currently are if folks weren't watchin'...

I don't waste my time watching Reality TV. Just like soap opera's back in the day. Total waste of time. I can't afford to waste time!

That's why we're cutting the cable! for years there was some really great programming, DIY shows, shows about real history, cooking shows about food and how to prepare it, now it's mostly junk

I agree, hubby still wants it. I do watch the cooking shows. The history channel is also a favorite, along with the Science Channel.

Thanks for a great laugh!

 

[betty rose]

Thanks.



Sorry to hear about your loss and possibly having cancer. A WDW trip might be some good therapy.



Thanks.



Thanks, I wish she had been a blood relative, then I might have some of her good genes!

Loss is always hard. I'm so sorry.

We don't have Veterans Day off either, but we will have a ceremony at school!

Hubby never had Veterans Day off either. Or Martin Luther King day off. His firm gave few days off.

We had a Veteran's Afternoon Tea at school yesterday. Students invited one vet in their family to have tea, coffee or milk with donuts and cookies with them in the cafeteria while each grade sang patriotic songs or recited poems. There were probably about 40 vets that came. The only vets in our family are currently stationed in Qatar and California. Kinda far for tea.

What a wonderful way to remember the sacrifices the Veterans, give for our Country.

I'm sorry for your loss. One of my grandpas died this spring, and while I'm still grieving, things are getting a little better every day.

It does eventually get better, given enough time. The time part is different for people.

I hope that everyone has a great day! Going to go bake a chocolate pie! The Chocolate pictures on here , are having an impact. I neeeeeed chocolate!

Cable cutting update. I can live without the cable! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The antenna picks up all our local stations, we have both Netflix and Hulu and i have a computer hooked to one tv and that gets both and we have the Roku for the others. Netflix and Hulu sans commercials comes to about $23 a month. So far so good and I don't miss it at all. I've found both cooking(real cooking not the competition type) and lots of shows about history. We also get PBS on the Roku which has more than just our local stuff. We have decided to drop Amazon Prime because we hardly ever order anything and there would be too much overlap for video. Hope this helps. BTW all 3 services offer free trial periods

So it's report card day and every teacher wrote thing like courteous, helpful, thoughtful, cooperative, considerate and so on. i need to find who the boys swapped cards with

It wasn't meant to be political. It's history, it is what it is and let's leave it at that.

Huh??? How could those two men not scream politics. The very definition of political figures entrenched in a very Political Election. Nothing less than that.

Mess in the kitchen cleaned up. 30 more minutes and she can come out of the oven.

Oh, that is very nice! When hubs was a kid, their school would appoint a kid each week to be the "flag student". The student was responsible for taking the flag outside to the school janitor, and would assist in raising the flag in the morning, and taking down in the afternoon. We didn't have that my elementary school, but I did get to draw a flag on Veterans Day with our crayons.

That is very nice, too. Glad that the schools are keeping Veterans Day in the forefront for the children.

Our former Doctor. He leaned on things other than drugs, when possible.

Amazing. Thank you for sharing the "remedy"!
