I read this wrong at first. I thought you said Chick-fil-a at first glance. I was going to say that is crazy talk.

That is crazy talk!

Thanks for asking, but, we, unfortunately, had to take Jett back to the shelter Saturday afternoon.
It just wasn't working, at all, with Belle. We think she accepted Indy and Ranger much better because they were puppies coming in, Jett was 2 years old. We tried, but, in the end, we just felt it wasn't fair try and force them to get along.
Such a shame. We originally went to look at a dog named Toby that is a Bassett Hound/Golden mix. He was such a cool looking dog, but, already had interest pending and we didn't click with him like we had hoped, anyway. Another lady was just putting Jett back in his kennel when we walked by to put Toby back in his. We went to look at Jett, interacted with him a bit, and then took him for a walk. We fell in love. Such an even-tempered, and wonderfully loving personality. He got along very well with Ranger, too, but, reality is reality.
Again, such a shame. I REALLY hope he finds a good home. Such a beautiful pup soul.
And, we go on...

Oh Sorry. I liked the look in Jett's eyes. He'll be a fun companion for someone. Can picture him chasing a tennis ball non stop.

We had one Pup that had to go back before we adopted Jethro. First he went after my female golden, wrong move, she put him in his place right off. So then he started cornering my DS or herding him. He made it from dinner time to 8am next morning when DS finally came out of the top bunk. He was a sweet Flat Coat Retriever that just was meant not to be with children or other dogs. And I made that suggestion when he was returned to sender. Made me wonder if that is how he wound up in the shelter in the first place.

So, when I got home after work today, my landlord was ripping up the ceiling, wall, and eventually, he's also going to replace the floor. He has to rip out the damaged gutters, too. (He's a contractor by trade, so knows how to do all this type of work.)

You should have seen me yesterday, moving things out of that room when the ceiling was leaking from the ice melting above. I had my bicycle helmet on; I was so scared the ceiling was going to fall on my head! HA! (Ceiling didn't fall.) Bet none of you have ever seen anyone frantically remove the contents of a room, with a bicycle helmet on . . . it was a first, for me, too.

Meanwhile, yesterday I felt like a heel because I yelled at my dog. He always follows me around the house and is very nosy about everything. Well, he got underfoot while I was trying to push out storage boxes, 2 bicycles, skis, bags of goodness knows what I had in there, etc. into the adjoining kitchen and I yelled him . . . then I felt bad because he looked so hurt. He was obviously concerned that I looked like a lunatic in my bicycle helmet while hurriedly pushing out boxes. So then, I pretended to be happy to cheer him up, but you know . . . dogs aren't stupid. He knew I was in a "state" and he didn't eat his dog food last night, because he was still upset. I've failed. I'm a horrible dog mother . . .

BIG {{{HUGS}}}

Was Jack back to normal today? Sorry about your home. I hate being discombobulated.

It said on our news tonight that our Feb. has been the second coldest on record, the coldest being in 1875.

Is that true, @Goofyernmost?

Spoiler

I'll show you Un-Canadian!

I didn't watch a second of the Oscars, but I do like to Google what folks were wearing.
Yowza people - stop with the botox and cosmetic surgery. You don't look good. You don't look natural. You don't look real.

Did you see that creepy pic of Travolta (him again) kissing ScarJo? His forehead (and the rest of his face actually) looks plastic.

Melanie Griffith .... Give it up. You will never recapture the dewy youth of your daughter, but jeepers, you don't have to look like the Joker.

Give me the craggy lines of Clint Eastwood or the late James Garner any day. They are/were real men!

Rant over.

Such a icky icky man. I shivered with him touching Idina too.

I was thinking both women should have used their knee to his region. Now that would have
been a show.

Don't you mean Adele Dazeem?

I find it funny that 2 gay entertainers are always the favorites to host.
NPH and Ellen DeGeneress.

I love Ellen. There doesn't seem to be a neutral with people and Ellen. They either like her or hate her.

He used to be great. Do you know what happened to him? I know..Hollywood happened to him.

Turned into John Revolta.

Ours. They could give me vertigo if I watched them.

We have thousands and thousands of these things in Texas. None in the Hill Country, more west and south Texas. We pass hundreds of them on the way to the coast.

A dude that loves himself way too much and believes women feel the same way about him. Ick.

Too bad it's not Dole Whip. Even better ... Dole Whip Swirl.
With a side of School Bread.

I honestly didn't care for school bread. All the more for you guys.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Tonight for dinner, I'm eating a kind of granola (vanilla blueberry clusters with flax seeds) in vanilla soy milk. Yum city. I even added a sliced banana--that's a very gourmet touch, you know. Sometimes, i just impress the heck out of myself.

I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy and corn for my daughter. My stomach still isn't feeling well so I had a bowl of peanut butter Cap'n Crunch.

You're not alone, I'm not a School Bread fan either.

School bread is okay, but if I'm going to eat sugary/carbs stuff I would rather have chocolate.

I'll take School Bread over any Disney cupcake, that's for sure.

I can barely restrain myself from dipping my finger into that delish custard. Mmmmmmm.

@donaldtoo's wife and I are presumably just a few years apart in age. Grease was the movie of our teen/tween years. For years I used to brag that I had seen it 7 times at the show/drive-in. (You know, until Titanic slightly eclipsed that number with 18! big screen viewings.)

Even after I moved out, I always returned to my parent's home for Christmas Eve. My three brothers and I would sleep in their king-sized waterbed and watch Grease; sometimes more than once. This was a tradition for at least 10-15 years, continuing right up until I got married.

I used to love John Travolta, before he got fat, weird, and old.
We've had our caricatures done at DTD a couple of times. Apparently the artist, Charles, thinks Hubby looks like Travolta. I'll attach pics later, and you can tell me if you agree.

Yep, Grease was all the rage, when it came out in the summer of '78.
Although, we wouldn't meet 'til several years later, DWifey and I were both 15 at the time.
