What did I miss relative to JRand?   I know about the neighbor, but....

Yeah, JRand's neighbor was in a bad accident. Ron, I sent sympathy to Jack as well because when these things happen so close to home it can be unnerving. If Jack didn't feel at least a little bit shaken up I don't think he would have posted anything about it. That's all.

[singingnymph]

Don't tell SingingNymph.

Shush, you.  

[Jeanne]

I should probably mention that today is my (deceased) father's birthday and, well, it always gets me down a bit. If my posts today seem a bit "colored" that's all it is and it'll pass.

[singdaw]

DR Jeanne - Yes, that can be difficult, even after many years.

HUGS to you!!!!!

[Jeanne]

{{{DR Jeanne}}}

Thank you, Ginny.

I'm OK.

[Jeanne]

DR Jeanne - Yes, that can be difficult, even after many years.

HUGS to you!!!!!

Thank you, Sing. Yes, the other 364 days of the year I'm fine with it.

[Jeanne]

I'm also feeling sympathy with DR RON today because my head is stuffed up.

Note to Weather Gods: This is WINTER, folks! That allergy stuff isn't due for another couple of months!

OK, end of misery guts.

[Jeanne]

Did someone here mention the film THE GHOST TRAIN recently? Maybe MattH?

[singdaw]

The Ghost Train doesn't stop here anymore.

[Jeanne]

The Ghost Train doesn't stop here anymore.

 

But IIRC it did pass through briefly. You see, I put it on my list of films to watch, but I cannot remember where I heard of it. It was probably here, but it could have been a Netflix recommendation.

[singdaw]

But IIRC it did pass through briefly.

Yes - that was me in the little red caboose.

[Kerry]

Oh, Cool!  Well, it looks like I may have to go to South Africa to claim my winnings too!  Maybe we could split the cost of the hotel!  

Sure why not--- I'm sure they'll reimburse us as part of the winnings!

[Jeanne]

Yes - that was me in the little red caboose.

That was you? Wearing the scarf around your neck and a hat?

[singdaw]

That was you? Wearing the scarf around your neck and a hat?

Yep!

Some people still do.  Wear.  A Hat.    

[singdaw]

[Jeanne]

My neighbors across the street are big Democratic fundraisers. They are supporting Obama. Lots of activity as Obama supporters come by to pick up bumper stickers and placards.

[Jeanne]

But not a little red hat. Or do they??

[Jeanne]

but where are you? You must have gone inside. No cameo appearance.
Camera shy, Sing?

Since Saturday/Sunday one of the screws in my ankle has been quite sore.  I have attributed it to the weather we've had.  I've been walking around like a 90 year year old saying, "Oy" about every 10 seconds.  The problem is now that I have been over- compensating  since then while laying  and sitting down and have a muscle cramp on the other side.  The muscle spasms are going away, but I sure hope I don't have to be re-screwed.... in the ankle.  (Jose, Singdaw, TCB:  no comments are necessary)  

Additionallly, since I don't have a lot of a hair to work with I gave myself a haircut.  And guess what?!!  It looks like I gave myself a haircut.  Not to mention  that I forgot to put the guard on the shaver, so it's a really short home haircut!    Luckily no one really looks at me anyway (luckily in this particularr instance at least).  The haircut is as successful and fashionable as a Toni Home Permanent my mother gave my sister when she was little.

LOL.
Methinks DR KERRY is having a bad day.

I do hope Kerry's ankle improves soon.

Good Afternoon!

We've moved onto the ballet...

[JoseSPiano]

And lunch is in 10 minutes.

[JMK]

Good Afternoon!

We've moved onto the ballet...

Is everything beautiful there?

[Jeanne]

Anti-screw vibes to DR Kerry! No, no, no, that's NOT--never mind. You get the picture.

Feel better vibes to DR KERRY! That's it.

[JoseSPiano]

I was 20 in 1988.





-Years old, that is.

[JoseSPiano]

Thank you, Jose, for your tips last night about making tortillas. Lard, eh? Ugh.

Well, the thing to remember about lard is that is a truly natural product, and minimally processed - and some much "better" for than the "fake lard", Crisco.  So... You don't need to knead much of it into the dough, so...

*I made biscuits once with lard and White Lily flour - truly some of the best biscuits I've made and tasted.

[Ron Pulliam]

The official toxicology results have been issued and Heath Ledger's death has been ruled "accidental".  He was talking a hell of a lot of drugs, all of which were in his system, but none -- officially -- at an "abusive" dosage.  It was the combination that killed him.

For a really good article on Ledger and what drove him to need prescription drugs, I offer THIS London Times feature story.

Perhaps I need to rethink lard. I certainly agree about the Crisco--big difference between healthy fats and fake fats.

(Jose, Singdaw, TCB:  no comments are necessary)

And none were contemplated.    But I'm sure I don't know what I did to deserve such a reputation.  

DR Kerry, ***ULTRA-STRENGH COPING AND PAIN-BE-GONE VIBES*** to you!
