Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Zen, that’s wild. And totally not okay.
We always got a clementine in our stockings. Every so often one would accidentally be left in a toe to roast over the fireplace for several days, so that was always special We still go overboard on those - if I could convince my family to go to all stockings I’d be happy. Small, fun, and easy.
They’re all over-invested in big presents though (the giving more than the getting) so we get to stress and overspend every year.
Porto’s offerings are so much, you could get several days from them alone, msbelle.
I hope everyone heals up.
Stockings for random things like tools, flashlights, kitchen implements, weird finds,nuts, clementines (when they were rare finds,) candy.
I’m gonna miss the stocking.
Mild funk from all *this* and realized today being in discomfort from being turned into human barometer is not helping.
The kittens are thumping upstairs, I should go let them make me laugh.
Our favorite dumb toys-for-grown-ups store went out of business this fall, so I might have gone overboard on stocking stuffers. But there are things we will need from that store! Like these little monster finger puppets we put on the Tabasco bottle?
I might have to make the Porto's tomorrow for tomorrow and the 25th since I do not thing I can get anyone to deliver on Christmas Day.

Those are necessary!
Also, may I suggest an egg of Silly Putty is always welcome in a stocking.
A cheese/charcuterie stocking is pretty fun to put together. Lots of nicely preserved summer sausage type things.
EM doesn't like sweets at all so I always get her fancy smoked oysters and clams and anchovies (which she loves).
Zenkitty, I hope Sam is okay. Teppy's right about the X-rays. You're right about the lawyer.
In other news, I'm watching a miniseries on Netflix based on a Harlan Coben book, but transplanted to England, and all the murders are much more jarring than they were in the original New Jersey. (Also it has ASH in it!)
Giles!
Oh I was curious about that.
Just heard that my half-sister got the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine today. She’s a nurse just outside of Nola so it’s been a pretty brutal year.
