The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Evening all. Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. The attic cold snap has arrived. Snow last night and highs in the teens today. Lows below zero for the next few nights and we hay hit 10 on Monday. If you’re in parts of the country experiencing this please be safe. Leave the cabinet door under your sink open if you can. Hope to talk with you later this weekend. Night all.
Be safe... I qm just wating for it....
 
Procrastinating a chore here, so why not a little catch up?
I'm going to try to come back and post more often, building up to my full OCD mode. That might take a while. In the meantime, I'll drop in like I am tonight.

Lovely to see you @Lilianna23!! Keep up the self-care so you recover 100%

We have a few styles and options for your selection.

I read that as "cave dwellers" and identified instantly. I must be channeling my Inner Neanderthal this morning.
:LOL: I was watching a cooking show last night
The person on screen said, "I'm making chocolate peppermint cake."
I heard "chocolate ketamine cake" :unsure:
Still haven't decided which I would prefer
Some cafes are indeed caves! 😂. I used to frequent of few of them.
Comfy places IMO. Much more so than the corporate ones if you ask me.
@likes2watchU I did get the official greeting after I first posted. I'll leave the aimin' to misbehave to Captain Reynolds, so don't expect any drama from me.
Glad you got the greeting. Wasn't sure. Thread moves too fast to keep up with it all. Hope you enjoy your time here.
My liliamma... I have missed you so.... so glad you are feeling a bit better....
2025 Nickname just dropped... and I'm all in
Lilimama 😍
Be careful, L2. My buddy in WI sez it’s gonna be -4, -7 and warming up to 0 for the high on Wednesday. Your temps are prob the same.
Every time I look at the temps, it's warmer. At this rate I won't even see below zero unless I pull an all-nighter (like that's gonna happen) :LOL:
So so true!

We’re conditioned by our cats!!!

Sorry for your loss but glad
come and <edited> with me on the non coffee table and let's talk about what we have missed. Waggy tails from my boys as they want to lick you.
Either my Scottish education is lacking or that hits differently in "American" :unsure: 🤪
Sometimes being scared is half the fun!
She’s not a tiny kitty but a young cat. Buffy colored tabby. We are all in love. 😻.
What's the saying?
One door closes, another opens... and in walks a cat.
Cat Distribution System in action?? 🤪
Ironically, after that I had to load and deliver a cord of firewood!
Pretty sure that's not what the doctor ordered 😏
I will do ALL the baking if someone else cleans up! 🤣🤣🤣

🥖✨🍪✨🍰
That's the rule in out house. You cook, someone else cleans.
Doesn't really work well in my house. Downsides of The Single Life :ROFLMAO:
See? 🤨 :LOL:
This was the sunrise from my front window.
Gorgeous! 😍
Don't think so.... I ask them for everything..... I will call someone... Can't figure out who....
Maybe ask your neighbors for a recommendation and if they offer??? 🤷‍♀️
It was a barter situation and I fulfilled my end) my back porch isn't fixed. And I didn't even say anything about that... they brought it to me and said they would do it, "it will be easy". I'm still waiting. How it makes me feel is a burden. For a lot of people in my life I am only considered when I can do something for them. And I'm sort of getting tired of it. It is a very lonely life because I have to set boundaries to protect myself.
Maybe flip the script? We know you're a woman of your word. Make them fulfill their end first. Enough of this "what can she do for me" 🐂 :poop:
I discovered a tiny little button under recliner controls. Turns out the seats are heated. Ok, ok, but I've never been to a theater that heated seats.
Not a fan of heated seats myself. I know, I'm in the minority there. Glad they worked for you and your group.

I absolutely hate asking people for help all the time. It is annoying to me. Probably because it's just a reminder that I'm never going to be first consideration. I have to wait for people to do it when I ask. When I do it's always oh yeah sure no problem. But the gallery wall is not hung up ( It was a barter situation and I fulfilled my end) my back porch isn't fixed. And I didn't even say anything about that... they brought it to me and said they would do it, "it will be easy". I'm still waiting. How it makes me feel is a burden.

Well we’re all your biggest fans.

Just so yaz know.

Wat! Nice ass!
With that out of the way, got up early to take the girls to the movies today. Did I say early? Left the house at 0930, bought snacks at the Walmark (hillbilly around here for Walmart). Arrived at the mall just in time to buy tickets, drinks and popcorn. We had our choice of good seats and proceeded to set up in the powered recliners to enjoy the show when all of a sudden it gets real cold on the theater. So much so that I start fidgeting. While doing that through half the movie, I discovered a tiny little button under recliner controls. Turns out the seats are heated. Ok, ok, but I've never been to a theater that heated seats. Passed the info down the row to the rest of my brood and was the hero of the morning.
Got home in time to start thawing out burger meat for dinner. Burgers, brats, and dogs again.
I love my daughters and we are spending the rest of the night playing Roblox (I usually get my butt stomped btw).
Tomorrow: Payback! HOUSE CLEANING Muahhahaha!
*Sipping my toddy and clicking away.
Have a good night all!

UPDATE: Yep, they trounced me. Ganged up on me and wouldn't let me up. I don't know who taught them that ( I did.). Extra chores tomorrow for sure. 😈
Sounds like a great day!!
 
Greylag! I'm shocked! SHOCKED, I tell you at your message! 😲 This from our resident proper English Gentleman! 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, OK. Scoot over! Bring me those boys! I need a big puppy pile! 🐕🐕🐕

💋✨😘
I am so sorry for the Freudian slip Lili…..it has been corrected for those that didn’t catch it and I see some of you did……leaves bright red and embarrassed and fiddling with his iPad to turn off autocorrect,
 
Please will all bar members accept my apologies for the typo in a recent post due to autocorrect and my inability to spot it. The breach of Bar Rules was inadvertent and for which I am extremely embarrassed. I don’t even know how the word got into my autocorrect…….

I am happy to accept any punishment coming …..(checks the spelling again before posting)

Got back from the service and it was a nice send off. Saw people I haven’t seen in 40+ yrs. The preacher did a great job and even though sad, she suffers no more, and we all take solace in that.

Emotionally drained, came home and atttemted to take a nap, when the phone rings, and it’s our son with the granddaughter squealing in delight. A kitty had somehow gotten onto the back porch and they were out playing with her! She’s not a tiny kitty but a young cat. Buffy colored tabby. We are all in love. 😻.

Soooooo….she doesn’t have a collar, never been seen in these parts, but isn’t feral. In fact she was quite calm around a 18 month old. Which tells me she’s been around humans. Son was asking me what to do…I think first, take her to vet to see if she’s tagged, then put up some Lost Kitty Found posters?

Any other hints to attempt to find the rightful owners? She’s found a home if she’s a true stray😁. SWhoMBO, even offered to take her if they can’t keep her.

Thanks for the well wishes also. Love our tribe here.😍
I'm glad it was a good service.

Baby excitement is just SOOOO contagious! If you don't get to keep the cat, I hope your son's family visits a shelter to get one. 🥰
 
Which you need like another hole in your head these days. Here's to hoping it sorts itself out.


Some nights, I'm toast at seven. I need to force myself to stay up another 90 minutes anyway when that happens.
Right now, I'm just rolling with it. I figure I can work on my sleep hygiene in a few weeks when the meds have worn off.

I do need to try to get some sleep tonight. My boat guy is coming to fix the cover on my boat tomorrow. The stanchions keep falling over. I bought a new pole set with cables which should help.
