No the noodles. When you roast cabbage it takes on the texture of all dented noodles... serve with your recipe for spaghetti sauce ala "gravy" and its pretty delicious

Oh, my bad. I get it now. Subtle difference there but huge meaning.

Where's the floppy disk go?View attachment 2464111

Also - wasn't new but sure was handy

I am... and microfiche to do research.... used to make me nauseated......oh qnd the Dewey decimal.system

Microfiche, microfilm, DDC, mimeograph, dumb terminal, card catalog... nostalgia for a good, old fashioned card catalog
They are hella expensive now if you can find them (most don't come w/ their cards anymore either - that would be a find!!!)
I have a print from (Charles) Scott Mutter framed in my home office.


But my first thought was... "Does she know the song?"

I always wanted to start a band called The Dewey Decimal System.

Surely you know the song then, Wonderer??

You beat me to it!! Classic!!
True Confession: I sang along
There was a really cute song for little kids that was online about 25 years ago, but couldn't find it. Had forgotten about Mr. Scooter
(Been so long - I'm listening to it again... "Hi! My name is..."

Rest stop picnic tables. There is photographic proof which is classified and unable to be published on the interwebs.

All that glass beautiful

I got my first senior coffee at Hardee's this week.

Congratulations... or Consolations???

Here's the standard roll out for all café newcomers:
Welcome to the café.

We conduct ourselves a bit differently here than most of the rest of Lit.

Post #1 introduces the joint... and glancing back over the last 10-20 pages provides additional context.

To be clear:
1. No religion 2. No politics 3. No drama 4. This isn't a hook up thread. Take it to the DMs or go somewhere else.

Everyone is welcome but we are protective of the vibe

This applies to all who visit this thread.
If this feels like a good match, welcome...

If not then please keep looking on Lit -
There's so many threads to choose from. You're sure to find a few to your liking.

Night... I'm close behind.
Also - in my world, it's Friday night and will be Saturday when I wake.

Sweet dreams all...

Good morning all. Still fighting this bug, but I’m back to work. Two days with a fever, a trip to the ER and all I got was some Tylenol and some nausea meds. I don’t seem to have all my energy back so I’ll be laying low for the weekend. Hope everyone has a great weekend, be safe out there.

You have a good weekend too but take care of yourself

Oh my! Not bad... I like both songs... but I was all geared up for some Goo Goo Muck

 

[nipplecaresser]

Good morning to the european crew and the insomniacs. As an aside, my (proven) sleep whispering talents are available if required.
Have a wonderful weekend, wherever you may be.

Thought for the day

Do not worry about avoiding temptation. As you grow older it will avoid you.
