I have one of those ceramic Christmas trees. My great aunt made it when she had her ceramics shop long ago. When she made the one we have now, each tree branch was drilled out so as to fit a small crystal or clear plastic. The base was set up to hold a light socket and when a light bulb was turned on inside the tree, the crystals on the branch ends would shine to imitate tiny candles. I believe our tree was three sections, top and bottom and the base was the third piece. She glazed it in a pearlescent white gloss color with blue and pink accents.

It's really quite pretty and when we had our house in Georgia, there was a tiny alcove above the entrance to our kitchen from our living room. It had an electrical outlet in it as well. When we bought the house the realtor apologized for the feature saying that was an eye sore. I knew then exactly what was going in that alcove.

When we would open the front door during Christmas time, the little alcove was lit up prominently with that lovely little tree each year.
What a wonderful memory! Do you still have the tree?
 
Decent visit with the little doctor. I'm helping her to schedule her bills. She got off her track when she hurt her back 1.5 years ago, and she's struggled to regain her footing. Also, she has less money now and the condo is doing a plant upgrade and borrowed a lot of money and raised the HOA fee a hefty amount. She now had a paid-for unit and what amounts to damned near a mortgage payment. But stuff falls through the cracks sometimes because her system isn't organized. So, I showed her today what I do - Wat never misses shit. After all was said and done, I think that the old girl appreciated it.
You're a good son, Wat! 😘💞🥰
 
I was going to find somewhere to watch the game tomorrow. All of a sudden today, my wife started talking about making finger foods and appetizers and dips etc. Just like a woman, she sounded puzzled when I asked her why she wanted to do all of that. I reminded her that I was going to go find somewhere to watch it and I again asked her if she wanted to go with me. She said of course not. Why wouldn't I stay at the house if she made a small spread. I said because she said she had no interest in it. So, I asked her if she wanted to actually watch it with me and have a few drinks like I had planned on doing. She said maybe.

Now, most of you Y-Chromosome participants to this thread no exactly what I'm about to say. I foresee, in an effort to keep me from going and watching the game elsewhere (so as not to bother her and simultaneously so I'm not interrupted), that nothing will be as she has suggested. She won't watch it. She will balk at half of the food items being made, and she won't have a drink or two with me. I'm willing to bet that I'll have a few chores that all of a sudden need doing. It would absolutely give me hope that our relationship is headed back in the direction that it needs to be if it actually happened as planned or even partially happened. I would be giddy.

I normally don't dump and I'm sorry if it's a bummer to you all but damn. Just had to get that off my mind.
That's called bait-n-switch. And, it's just plain mean! 🤬

If what you think is going to happen does, I hope you can just nope out and go off somewhere to watch the game. 🏈🥨🍕🍔🌮🌭🍿🍺🍻

I sincerely hope what you want to happen does. 🫂❤️🫂
 
Well I hope everyone’s health improves. Sounds like quite a lotta illness. My fingers are crossed for ya!

The weather here will get bad overnight. Maybe up to 5” of snow and then some ice and freezing rain on toppa that.

I haveta travel to Hartford for work on Monday and we’re supposed to get another storm on Wednesday when I’m supposed to drive home.

Hmmmm
Be careful, W! 🫂❤️🫂
 
Right hip/upper butt cheek.
Testosterone.
Yes, I skipped the epoxy.
While I figure my skin could have taken it, I didn't want it to attack the 6 month "time release" pellets and "overdose" me (if possible).
I thank you soooo much for your input....

As icing on the cake, I caught a raging flu upon arrival... it got hellish yesterday and tonight.
Hence my absence.
Oh, you poor thing! Take care of your flu. Rest and drink lots of fluids. Warm ones are good for moving that snot up and out. If you can, get yourself to a provider to get an antiviral like Tamiflu.

As for your cut, keep the area clean and put a dressing over it. You may need some butterfly bandages to close it. If do, approximate the edges before you apply.
 
It's just after midnight-thirty as I catch up on this Superbowl Sunday.

Those of you watching the game, I wish you great snacks and no interruptions during the good parts. 🏈🥨🍕🍔🌮🌭🍿🍺🍻

Those of you not watching the game enjoy your day. Good snacks for you, too! 🤣🤣

I'm not sure which camp I'll be in. Probably have the game on but doing other things. I don't care that much about it as my Hawks aren't playing. But then... there's Patrick! (SWOON!) and Travis! 😍🥰

I grabbed a jacket, pillow, blankie and empty, spare bunk in the forward stateroom.... light-duty, making rounds, fingers crossed that the rig doesn't need anything 🤞
 
Amazing restoration! What a wonderful find! 😍

As a side note - I wonder if these guys know where the vacuum cleaner is in their own house? I'm always amazed at the guys who can do the work to fully restore a car but don't know how to put a dish in the DW. My uncle was one of them. 🤣🤣🤣
I used to tell my son: "You can hack into the Pentagon but can't change a toilet roll."

I grew up in a home where father did as much house work as mom. I assumed that was the way to do things until I went to college. There I learned I was a minority. All my wives and girl friends however showed me their appreciation 😉
 
I missed the elusive Lili by a couple of hours. No 🪶

Good morning early risers and late night dwellers of the diner. I hope you had a good sleep. I spent some time last night looking at and laughing about pictures my mother saved. I am going to take to my sister so we can both have a good laugh.

I am a big fan of the ads of Super Bowl especially the horses.
 
What kind of gas is at gas stations? Is it not 100% gasoline?


There's a tag on the side of the pump. Most is 10% ethanol any more. Think about it - ethanol and gasoline really don't mix, and ethanol attracts water. You have a boat. Maybe boat gas doesn't have ethanol in it - it shouldn't. You're a Comely wench, so ask the dumb guy standing there what's what. He'll fall all over himself telling you.


But seriously, read the tags on the pump, too.

Poodles. Pasture Poodles. Very large Poodles.


Now that I know how to talk to them, they like me. They see Me Seeing Them . . . .
 
Honda makes really good stuff. Id take that over a toro any day of the week. At least based on some second hand reports on toro stuff and personal experience with Honda equipment.

If the yard is small, would an rechargeable electric work? Some of them are getting pretty nice, and you should be able to find something cheaper than $800.
Mid size ish....
