My first, and only , Teddy Bear looked a lot like this one...

View attachment 199692

I think my mom may still have him somewhere at their house, but, last I remember he was pretty much furrless down to the material.

That happened to my bear. His body was the same shape as your's and she was yellow with curly hair, and big ears. He was funny looking, but he was mine!

Americans like to drop things that are unnecessary. Like our British overlords.

We just control y'all from behind the scenes now

Bets, so happy to hear that things are coming along. Happy Easter to you, Mr. Bets, and all in your family.

Happy Easter to you and the family. So far so good. Son-in-law called and he said he would see us Sunday.

 

[betty rose]

Good morning, everyone...we are off to spend time with the boy's, back home late. We like our games!

Hahaaa...!
I can't remember the last time I saw him, but, he was definitely pretty much furrless.
Need to ask mom today if he is still around, but, I may not like the answer...

Soooo it's April 7...and we have a snow day....no school....and no electric.

Belated sympathy like...

Lookin' at you @MinnieM123... !!!

Blah to the snow. Almost 5 inches. The power went out this morning just after some kids were already en route to school so now they are in the process of getting everyone back home. My niece (who drives to school) said the whole town and roads leading into town are dark. No estimated time of when it will be back up. GRRR.

And, another belated sympathy like.

 

[donaldtoo]

Putting some logs in the fireplace now. I actually had cleaned it up and put everything away because it's April. Enough already Mother Nature!

 

[donaldtoo]

Weather!!! We have a bunch of people around here that are constantly whining because we don't get much real winter. This year we got a total of 1/8 inch all winter long. Happened around 8am and gone by 10am. They are constantly upset because they don't have any snow to play in (actually they do if they just drive west a few hundred miles to the Smoky Mountains). These are apparently people that have recently escaped from an asylum. (not unlike our own @MinnieM123) I try to explain that they should be on their knees thanking god that it is like this around here, but, it just passes over their heads. What are we gonna do?

Spoiler

If you are going to have a snow event, the above mentioned is the only way to have it.

Can't remember the last time I ever heard anybody complaining about no snowfall around here. That's one of the many reasons folks stay here or come here in the first place.

 

[donaldtoo]

Sorry not sorry for this

Spoiler: Hows all yall weather ...

It was clear and 81 for us that day. So yes, we enjoyed our weather...!

 

[donaldtoo]

Everyone have a safe and great weekend!! Hubby off today and have errands and such to do. Then off to celebrate his birthday early. It is on Tuesday but he has to work. He will be 60! When did that happen?

Time...what a concept...!
A happy belated 60th to your hubby!
Hope the celebration was awesome...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

He definitely wouldn't survive summer here either...!!!

 

[donaldtoo]

That sounds mighty tasty! Cesar, is Easter Sunday a big celebration day in Mexico?

eeeh, not as in "Easter" but yes as "via crucis", "viernes santo" and "holy day of resurrection" and so on..

 

[donaldtoo]

Thanks I'm also feeling more like myself. Except once in a while, my words get scrabbled errr. scambled

Again, so late with my reply. So very sorry.
I hope that each day is getting better and better for you healthwise, and for all of y'all, especially since the unfortunate divorce seems to be pretty much settled. Hope you're still getting better every day, Bets...!!!
And, as I've shown here recently myself, we all get a bit scrambled sometimes...!!!

 

[Cesar R M]

Mmmmm...Chocolate cake! There is a YouTube video of a Disneyland pastry chef showing how he makes that cake. Why don't they have that at WDW?

You're lucky to get simple cupcakes for the price in WDW

 

[donaldtoo]

Makes sense to me. I remembered when we locked the keys in the car, and we pried it open and could unlock the door with a coat hanger. That took some time, though.

Hahaaa...!!!
Yep, I remember similar a coupla' times with my '71 Cutlass. It didn't have the side front window vents, but, the door lock knobs on the inside had "tops" on them and were easily accessible through the top window weatherstripping with a coat hanger.
Voila...!

 

[donaldtoo]

I need one of those

Who doesn't...?!

You 'mericans ruined elegant speech

Didn't the British Monarchy invent the current version of the english language that is used in the UK right now?
And the US is using the "simplified" older version?
