Because we should absolutely be on page four if there weren't gaslighting and paprika going on here.

See? The minute you call out gaslighting, they gaslight you by changing the page.

From John:

Quote

Watching one of the weirdest cast movies I’ve ever seen. Charles Laughton, Robert Cummings and Deanna Durbin in It Started with Eve.

I always thought the casting was fun, but then I was fairly young when I first saw the film.

Vixmom, it was my friends Sharry and Michael were there to see Brad Oscar Sunday night. It would’ve been quite amazing if you had introduced yourself to Brad and then he would’ve met Sharry and Michael. Of course, you would probably still be talking to Sharry at this moment. She likes to chat.

From George:
Yes, she does! But I've always enjoyed listening to her!

She is delightful

I like several of those stack burger things - may have to take a little trip to DQ and have an Orange Julius whilst there.

I've never actually ever had an Orange Julius.

They used to be much better. Even then, Stan of Stan's Donuts made the best ones.

Even better is the home made version I made using vanilla ice cream & orange juice.

Also, I have been dreaming about kittens the last couple of nights. Maybe I need to foster again.

If you do, make sure they are calico cats.

I just turned down the job offer. It looks like I will have to go to Louisville to move Mom out of her apartment. She’s not improving enough after the stroke to live independently. And I can’t afford an hourly job with no time off.

Sending hugs and hoping it was best you didn't change jobs. I gather you had not mentioned the job offer at work yet.

I am unusual in that I am not a fan of Dairy Queen, which is fine because then I am not tempted to get ice cream there.

Jane · « **Reply #103 on:** December 13, 2022, 12:41:53 PM »

Unlike Bruce & Keith, I am not a fan of Thrifty ice cream, never have been.

Jane · « **Reply #104 on:** December 13, 2022, 12:42:11 PM »

Bruce what does a Thrifty ice cream cone cost these days?

Claire Keegan, an Irish writer I love, has written a short story called Foster. It’s published by itself and in 50 pages, it’s easily the best thing I have read this year. Breathtaking prose so exquisite that it makes you ache.

I read half of it while waiting for the painkiller to take effect.

No. Outside of my family here, I think I told only three or four others. I was going to wait on the background check first. But I stopped that today before it happened.

We went into a little ice cream shop in Tombstone. When I asked if they made their own ice cream I was surprised at the response. Their ice cream came from California, and not from a high end ice cream. It was Thrifty

Jane · « **Reply #109 on:** December 13, 2022, 01:02:51 PM »

I sampled the chocolate malted crunch and thought it was rather bad.

Jane · « **Reply #110 on:** December 13, 2022, 01:03:00 PM »

Keith has always liked their ice cream so I figured he would be happy with his cone. He didn't think it was very good.

I am especially sorry for the reason you decided not to take the job.

It sounds wonderful. I just put a hold on it at my library.
