My cat  laughs at such an idea.  She'ls picky about exactly what flavors of fancy cat food she'll deign to eat.

I'm usually watching Match Game PM reruns. 

How do we know the sheep doesn't just want some alone time?

I'm sorry, I specialize in zingers and taunts, not snide retorts. 

Remind me to come back and post my response later.

Except tea would actually be good.

No, I find her exceedingly kind and caring. and Impressive in her commitment to the things and causes that matter to her.  I might be "scared" if I was competing with her, because I expect she'd beat me in almost any competition, but I think she is a wonderful friend to have in your corner.

ha!  I didn't open this thread until Sunday!

My Dad loved that cartoon!

My Dad used to get my Mom caramel pumpkins from Malleys. 

Particularly during the work from home era, analyzing the book shelves behind people has become quite the hobby. There are a number of twitter accounts dedicated just to analyzing people's bookshelves.   It's clear some people have put quite a lot of thought into arranging their backgrounds.  I agree this woman seems like she's spent more time on her work than her background.

No wonder I'm pissed.  My bike is missing a wheel and doesn't have streamers!!!!

My Mother used to tell an old family story about some relative of her father's (I think an aunt)  who would come to visit them in the summer.  This relative was named Bertha and Bertha was quite willing to let  my grandmother do all the shopping, cooking and cleaning and generally wait on Bertha.  Bertha's  one attempt to help was when after the meal was finished and my grandmother was picking up the dirty dishes to wash them all by hand, every so often Bertha would bring in a big dirty serving dish that my grandmother had momentarily left on the table while she cleaned some other dishes and made room in the kitchen.  Bertha would come in with the dish which then required my grandmother to stop what she was doing and try to make room for the dish by the sink and Bertha would say with a satisfied tone "Here, you missed this".
So whenever someone in my family would offer a suggestion, or take some action, that was utterly unhelpful and only created more work for others we'd say sarcastically "Thank you, Bertha".
I get the feeling this Scout Dad is really a Bertha.

My insurance subscribes to an online service that literally has doctors available pretty much on call.  You can also see the doctor's name in advance so you can check their credentials before selecting them.   It's not useful for a lot of conditions, but it might work for this sort of thing.  My old insurance also had a nurses' hot line where you could call someone for free and talk to them. 

I hope everyone has had a festive anniversary day.  I have to watch that I don't drink too much festive punch tonight, I've got to work in the morning.

New England Motor Freight.  Actually her parents own it, but she's active in the business and has been on the Board of the NYC MTA for years.   Pretty sure it's just a matter of time until Sir Paul is hanging around truck stops chatting up Myrtle the waitress and trying to get the Burly Man breakfast special but without the sausage.

Yay!  I will bring some refreshing iced tea so that we can sit on the swings, drinking iced tea and watching the dogs frolic on the lawn.

Thank you.  I love the mini pastel mints!
 
And here is a Christmas message for you.

When Superstorm Sandy hit the region, my town was out of power for a number of days.  The Salvation Army set up in a big condo complex that has a big population of the elderly and served hot meals, hot drinks and set up cots.  I never went down there but a number of my neighbors did, and one elderly lady who lives nearby really was thankful for the help.  I've appreciated what they did to provide practical support for the elderly in the community (they were the only organization who really did anything to help people in town), so I always donate when I see one of the bell ringers.

It's hard to find clothes that fit when you're head and body are combined in one big circle.

Politely, of course.  And don't call me Shirley.
 
There actually is a video of a frog vomiting on youtube, but frankly, it was too disturbing to link.  It brought back too many memories of wild nights at the lily pad.

Even if that were true, there are always the Friends of the Friendless!
