Numero Cinco ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
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.
EM doesn't like sweets at all so I always get her fancy smoked oysters and clams and anchovies (which she loves).My grandfather needs nothing, but he still likes to cook. So, I get him the fancy Italian tuna, anchovies, etc because it won't sit collecting dust in the back of his closet.
Zen much health ~ma sent to Sam .
My family was big with stockings. We got ht oranges and nuts. Oranges were in my parents stockings but since Dad grew up in FL I don't think it was such a big deal. I vaguely remember him saying something about getting bottle of Coca cola for Xmas but I may be misremembering.
M's family didn't have a big stocking tradition . In fact ours are still packed away. Which is probably part of the reason I feel like it's not Christmas. But not enough to find them.
We ways got a small Lego toy , a huge chocolate bar snd then little stuff.
Yesterday mom came and we exchanged presents so we can open tbem.at our houses on Christmas and I had a box with little stocking items. Chocolate, a hand sanitizer and hand lotion set, face mask thing and I wanted more but couldn't think of anything.
If I remember correctly when we were kids we did stockings then breakfast and then presents. And both dad and mom would have stockings at their houses although different styles of what they put in them.
