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

Still having NO LUCK posting an image. Grrrh!

Kam - tee, hee.

Blue - that is FABULOUS. Wonder what they're gonna think of Xmas?

Oh, it's a gonna be such fun when all this rain freezes tonight....puddles, big puddles of water in the fields, the trees will probably look beautiful when they're all covered in ice, tonight. Shelter in Place.

Hope everybody is where they need to be, and that Bren's Mom will drive CAREFULLY if it's as wet there as it is here, phew...just imagine what all this water would look like if it were snow....whew, we dodged a big one.

Can almost smell the turkey.

It's been DRY here in western Washington.  Totally unusual weather for which we've giventhanks!  We are basically moved. Some of our furniture is still wrapped in plastic and I hhaven't found my silverware yet, but hubby found the turkey roaster, so we're good to go for tomorrow.  Did I mention that hubby's family decided that Thanksgiving is at our house.....

Warm wishes to Glenna and her husband.

So happy for the stable status for Glenna and Chickadee!

I remember the good old days when stores didn't put up their Christmas decorations until December 1, radio stations didn't start playing Christmas music until 2 weeks before December 25, and you didn't see a Christmas movie on TV until the week before Christmas. Everyone I know complains about being inundated by "Commercial" Christmas LONG before the 25th of December. And now we have Caribou Barbie and her hangers-on, along with that idiot O'Reilly on Faux Snooze bringing out this old shibboleth -- at the same time using this holy day in the Christian calendar to make a buck. Well, one good thing -- Caribou Barbie's book is something like 375 on the Amazon best-seller list.

Hah - C4C, I was at Costco and there were two stacks of her books.  Nobody was buying them.  I covered them up with several copies of a book about FDR!  HAHA!

Ok - will be at different Costco on Friday - will oblige. A that particular Costco, the Tundra Tart might actually have a following.

Glenna - I missed about your husband. So sorry, my mind is distracted these days. Wishing only good health and recovery for your DH.

Worrying about E? No news? She's awfully quiet.

Myself, I boycott holidays, so I can't personally relate to the bruhaha, but I certainly can understand everyone has different needs. Employees are not widgets to be used up and thrown away. Considerations should be made for special days and celebrations.

C4C - I guess Steve Jobs never anticapated the problems at BCO - I think only Apples have these problems here, could be wrong.

Update: Glenna's DH is out of surgery and doing well (sleeping, of course!).

Morning all

Thanks for my morning giggle. C4C are you doing what I was, following the instruction but pressing cancel and not insert when posting pictures - I shouldn't admit this LOL though.Anyway I agree about Christmas decorations etc. It was the beginning of November.

We too have problems of stores opening on certain holidays. Stires here are closed on Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Anzac Day( our memorial day) and Christmas Day. Four times a year and people think they have to be able to shop. When I was a child most places closed from Christmas Day until after New Year and we all seemed to manage.

Had better go and get organised as I am off to Australia tomorrow to meet up with the Aussie group.

Happy Hanukkah to all those celebrating.

Big Hugs to all.

Years ago when we lived in the UK, the stores closed at noon on December 24 and didn't open until 6 days later. I had a small (under the counter) fridge, and wondered how I was going to store all the food! Managed somehow, as we always do. Here in the GWN, stores are closed Dec. 25, January 1, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, and July 1 (Canada Day). Was happy to hear that Costco -- the store that pays its employees well -- said that its employees DESERVE Thanksgiving Day off to spend with their families. Another reason to boycott the stores that only care for their bottom line, and not for the folks who who help them achieve that bottom line, and who don't understand the importance of providing a living wage.

Kay, I got a picture of our house (in your area(: ) sent to me this morning. Beautiful indeed. We are due home on Sunday.

I agree that Thanksgiving should be a day of. A day of family and thanks for all. I am looking forward to Christmas Eve. It will be the first time in 12 years that I won't have to work.

LOOK AT THOSE PIES!!!!!! I can smell them..I'm on my way!

We have had about 2 inches of rain, fields are flooded, as is my basement, natch. Can't imagine what this will be tonight & tomorrow when the temps go into the 20's for two days. Icemageddon.

Thanks for the report on Glenna's DH. Now we just have to hear from Enjoyful.

Kam - I'm with you on the holidays. And, I think we may shop at the same Costco

I can relate to the refrigerators in the UK. Lived there for years, and had to go to Harrod's to get a "grown up" fridge, which is what I said to the lovely salesperson, when asked what I wanted, a grown up fridge. He thought I was bonkers, which I was after trying to live with a toy fridge, which did, in fact, fit under the counter cuz it was the size on the outside of a dishwasher, smaller inside. There were no discount stores at that time, wow, everything was SO expensive.
