I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

It's also FRIDAY.  So, be careful out there!

Hi Girls - had the most fantastic luck today. I loved the new work pants I bought last week so much, I went in search of other colours - well, I went to 3 different shopping centres (1st 2 didn't have my size) and the last one had my size in 3 colours AND they were only $15 - on special - I paid 40 last week for the same pants!!! So now I have green, brown, blue and black - SO happy about it. I only shop at a really cheap chain store here called Millers - they usually have lots of granny stuff, but you can often find good work wear and they never wear out. You can also often find quite nice things that aren't for little old ladies.

I'm safe now it's Saturday here - I just had to resist writing there again but I might

Happy Susie

Wow, Sunflowers, you do live in the country. Bren, you have any bears? Sending gentle hugs for you and your family.

Well, today is another day of looking at houses. My friend since 1978 is here looking for a house. His stuff is in storage and he is staying with us. I love him but you knows guests are like fish.....

k2k - I haven't trademarked "enjoyable" yet, but keep an eye out 'cause you never know with our crazy cancer scooter gang. 

Susie - Don't you love it when you find the perfect article of clothing?  I've done that, too - run out and bought four more in the same color.  It doesn't make me very fashion-forward, but then clothes are just clothes to me.

Here's my take on the whole interesting/fascinating/neigh/nay round of deletions:  Remember when sparkleprincesspony (sorry, I've forgotten her name, but you know who I mean) came on this thread and made references to the dowdiness of our apparel?  That comment was allowed to stay because the moderators said she didn't actually call US dowdy, so it wasn't a rule violation.  It sort of ran right up to the edge of deletehood and then stopped an inch short.  Of course, we all knew it was meant to be an insult, right?  Perhaps the moderators are now taking that sort of thing more seriously, so that while "fascinating" and "interesting" might not break the rules per se, the perceived intent behind them did.  That's a tricky one, though, because who knows what anyone's intent truly is?  But, since you guys are part of our evil daisy-painting scooter-riding gang of goofy girls, the intent could only be an insulting one, right?

It's tough being part of this scooter gang.  :-P

I've always thought so, BD!

Bren, so glad Mr Tim is back! Is he back for the rest of the week? That will be nice. My friend has cash so he can close in three days, Blue, I try to eat healthy and I take around 10 supplements (which are working for me as I have huge hot flashes and they had stopped 5 years before BC). E, you crack me up.

Not rubbing it in but the high today is going to be 85. Last night slept with the windows open and the low was 60. Aaahhh. Love FL in winter.  

We have very few ducks on our lake but lots and lots of geese and a fence to keep them and their poop out of our yard. We also have lots of deer.

I accept Rosemary's innocence Always.  E's analysis is also great, funny too.

Not many geese around here - lots of Wild Turkeys ( not in the bottle kind) and they are SO cute in the Spring, when they have their little ones, and they remind me of that children's story - the Mother Turkey leads literally a line of wee little ones.  Sometimes groups of them gather - I've seen up to 30 or more munching in the fields.  Sometimes one of them is kind enough to leave me a HUGE wing feather - they really are large. 

I just took a chicken I roasted out of the oven. The potatoes, onions, and a stray aweet potato I found are still roasting. DH brought homw fresh asparagus today so I will cook that too.

I sewed most of the day. I made 3 monster pillows out of fleece for my grandsons for Christmas. I have one more to do but I am out of energy. Maybe after dinner.

Tomorrow will be a busy day. There is a Marketplace at our church all morning and I have to set up the coffee and donuts and then sell Fair Trade stuff. I have good helpers but I will be exhausted when I get home and I did want to get the monsters done this weekend. I will make dolls for 3 girls, a blanket for the baby and I am still not sure what to make for the six year old girl. Maybe a pink monster, I am out of ideas. I found doll parts at a resale shop and only have enough for the 3 one year olds so she won't get one of those. Maybe a different kind of doll.

Susie, glad you are happy about the pants. Nothing like a good shopping trip to lift one's spirits. I spent the world's laziest day today, talking on the phone with my mother regarding family Christmas plans, sleeping and watching wildlife documentaries. I feel so lazy.

Lindasa, hope the swan finds its mate soon....

She's planning her menu???

Good to see you otter.

Linda ... do you suppose your single Swan was the offspring of one of the pairs?  I know goslings look full grown by the end of the season but don't know anything about swans.

Do we have any serious shoppers here?  I read that some woman in FL is already camped out in front of a store waiting for the Black Friday sales.    My mother and sisters are marathon shoppers but I did not inherit that gene.  I run away screaming when they suggest shopping trips.  Online shopping is my friend.  Except for antique stores and flea markets ... those I like.  So after all that ramble ... who is brave enough to hit the stores next Friday? 

edited spelling error ... sigh 

I will not be doing any Black Friday shopping. I would rather pay a little more money for something and avoid it. 

My daughter works in retail-she has to be at work at 3 AM on Black Friday morning. Bleh. We are having Thanksgiving dinner at 3:00 so she can get some sleep before work.

I'm busted, ha ha! Rabbits and otters are not on my menu, though, so fear not.
