Giles!
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

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.

Thrive to spite them
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.

So when my Dad's Air Force assignment took us from Goose Bay, Labrador to Homestead, Florida
My parents met in Goose Bay when they were posted there with the Canadian Air Force.

A truly surreal place to live. I spent 18 months of my life there.

Yeah, my mom had stories about not being able to find her way around the base because she was posted there in the middle of winter and when the snow finally melted she couldn't recognize the buildings or the base.

The snow drifts were like 9-10 feet high, so you were always driving through tunnels of snow up higher than your car.

Cat still wouldn't eat. I'll try again in a few, and afternoon we will take her to the vet to get antibiotics and painkillers in a shot (it made her foam when I tried to give it to her via syrup). If she doesn't get better soon, it's either starting cat hospice here or risking an operation that she might not survive.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Oh Shir I am so sorry.
I’m up at this awful hour because Miley got her toes jammed in a gap in the thing we use as a step for them to get on and off my bed. She was getting down for water and her force really jammed them in there.instant howling, well more like a duck/goose barking actually.
All is ok now. I’ll have to check them in the morning to see if they are swollen. She did already walk on them and is back asleep. That where I need to be.
