I only got to watch part of the video. I'm watching the rest of it now. I don't decorate cakes. I probably should learn a little bit about it. I usually just plop the cake batter into a bundt pan and call it a day.

The Brink's Job DVD decided it was going to play today. Great cast. I hope the film is fun.

I wonder if reading reply #137 and reply #143 in quick succession might reveal a hidden message.

So, yesterday I happened to listen to that Barbra Streisand-Donna Summer song. Then BK mentioned it in his notes and in a post. Now, in an Annabelle and Thatch story I'm reading, Larry says, "Genug ist Genug." That phrase is following me, even auf Deutsch.

Bastante!

An hour into Just a Gigolo and the apparently ageless Marlene Dietrich shows up. She's behind a veil and the lens is designed to make her look even younger. It's not entirely successful, but she may be the best thing about this really strange movie.

I do not know why this appeared twice, ChasSmith. But it's nowhere as weird as that movie was.

I am enjoying The Brink's Job for the cast, the look and feel of the film. I'd forgotten how good Warren Oates was. But the script just doesn't have any appropriate tension, comedy or drama.

Finished the ham - it wasn't too good either. I should have just made tuna sandwiches or pasta. Oh, well, live and learn.

I am thankful today for all of you. And to bk, for making a home for us.

I’ll second that.

DR George maybe if the drive from you to Portland were prettier your niece would do it just for the donuts :)



Anything's possible. ;D

Oh and BTW - Sue is excluded from any inheritance and that statement is included in the will.  I am not sure that she knows that.....

But when all the heirs get a copy of the will and the names of the executors - my sister and I - in a few weeks.....she will know.


But if Sue is not an heir, she won’t receive a copy.

Her grandson had changed his phone number and didn't tell her. When she texted him about Thanksgiving dinner, the text went to a teen stranger. She invited him for dinner anyway, and they've been doing it ever since.

This wonderful story seems to now be a traditional Thanksgiving story and I love seeing how their relationship has grown.

That is a great story!

Around 3:00, when I went to feed the cats, my blood sugar dropped. It was terrifying. I thought I was going to collapse on the kitchen floor. I opened the refrigerator, grabbed a Reese cup, and devoured it. I;m feeling back to normal now. The last time this happened was about four years ago at the bus stop at 57th Street and Eighth Avenue as I waited for the bus. A kind lady gave me a peppermiont candy. After that I always carried a bag of peppermint candy in my travel bag.


Elmore, I hope you are okay.

BK mentioned Hawaiian dinner rolls. I don't know from Hawaiian dinner rolls, but we do have the King's Hawaiian package brand here if that counts. We also have a package of Kerrygold butter I splurged on. That's pricey compared to the everyday stuff. But SO good. Someone told me there are even better ones in that category, but they aren't readily available here in our stores.

Kings is what I think of as Hawaiian bread.

My sister bought those.  They were good. :)

No DR ELMORE - laughter is the best medicine.

And someday I will laugh myself.

Hopefully sooner rather than later!  That was a great story, Jrand.

We began the day with a nice long video chat with Craig and his Kitty.

I just realized I also bought a package of King's Hawaiian roles because they were stacked high and deep at WalMart on Tuesday....

Not sure what I will do with them - well eat them of course - but the details are sketchy.

With butter...lots of butter! :D
