Can we fight over something? ;)

My grandson and his friends are really into expensive (to me, anyway) cologne. It's better than the hockey funk, LOL!

Well, I never took my Nutcracker forest down and I have 3 tinsel trees that stayed up all year. Today, I will be drinking out of my Grinch 40 ouncer. And will be bringing out my car inflatable Grinch this weekend. And I haven't taken down Halloween!! I have a wedding at the end of the December and I want my house done so I don't have to think about it. I will still celebrate Thanksgiving on.that.day. I have never decorated for Thanksgiving so I'm giving nothing up. 

I saw something about cologne/perfume as I scrolled down. We have a lady here at church and oh my gosh! She showers in it, has the same scent for her hairspray, her deodorant, etc. Or at least it seems so. And it doesn't even smell good. It was once of the good scents, I might get past it. Horrible!

My DD lives on Eggo waffles and Uncrustables and she's 30. She will cook a fine gourmet meal when she has the mental energy. But those things are there for the days she can't. Oh and popsicles. BombPops are her first choice. 

I've sort of reached the point in life, you do you. As long as it is not immoral or illegal. And there is a gray line on that illegal thing in some states. Like mine. Some can and some can't, if you know what I mean. 

I think I'll put my tree up this weekend. It's covered in the garage so I just have to have my sister come over and help me move it in and uncover it.

I'm going to visit DS for Thanksgiving so I'd like to have it up when I get back. 

Just what I needed today. 

Though his shirt and pants combo were making me shake my head, adding in the curtain backdrop had me full on twitching. 

malibou, another James Acaster video

Are you familiar with the British show "Would I lie to you"? The video is a clip from one of those shows. There are loads more clips on YouTube featuring lots of other comedians. Anything with Bob Mortimor is worth a watch.

This. It triggers my migraines.

It took over 15 years for my (now ex) husband to understand (he wears aftershave daily) that I cannot control the triggers. Somehow he thought I was just being a pill. I FINALLY convinced him that it was real and he started putting it on in the garage right before he left for work.

Never been a decorative towel girl, just not a fan as it remind me of something past generations did (sorry, ducking and running for cover). My towels, even in the guest bath or powder room are to be used. I will change them out as needed.

I tried having nice hand towels in the bathroom/kitchen and gave up. My husband was always staining them because he would wipe grease, dirt whatever was his hands on them before washing his hands, "makes it easier to wash them" 🙄 Our bathrooms now have single use paper hand towels.
Wasteful, yes but I am not going back. I absolutely love them!

You know, here I’ve been thinking the reason I’ve been sleeping like crap the last couple days was because there has been a shift in the weather and I’ve been achy, but I bet the real reason is because of the stupid time change! I totally forgot about it since most of our clocks automatically change now. It gets me every single time, regardless of which way the time shifts.

I have a 3.5 year old and have never left a cart anywhere besides a cart corral since having him.

Since we had Thanksgiving in October, the big fight here is no Christmas before Remembrance Day. My argument is put your tree up whenever you want. Do you give up all things that bring you joy from November 1 to 11th? Do you enjoy buying a new shirt, going to a movie etc. Some might leave up their Halloween or fall decorations. I can still wear a poppy on my lapel and attend a Remembrance Day service while I have some Christmas things out. Isn't that the freedom our soldiers fought for?

I usually wait until after the 11th just because it's too soon. The year of the pandemic I started at the end of October and by November 1st it was fully decorated. This year I have my Christmas tea towels out and a few knick snacks around the kitchen area.

My family knows to keep their mitts off of the Press and Seal. That stuff is too expensive to put it over a bowl of something that will only be covered for a short time.

I use it to cover the board or tray when I do a charcuterie or other meat/cheese/sandwich or dessert spread. Makes for such an easy clean up.

I have given up on decorative towels, my family doesn't understand they are "for showin' not blowin". (Bonus points for anyone who gets that reference.

I thought removing your hat was a sign of respect. It also was a way to keep someone from hiding their identity back in the days of helmets. I never heard the dirty hair theory. But I do agree that today, it is probably an outdated custom in situations like casual restaurants.
