oooh, you ARE bad
(PS - they sound delicious)
I just noticed on my packet of Border's Lemon Drizzle Melts that "once opened" they are "best stored in an airtight container."
Is your stomach airtight, does anyone know?
You only get nine in a packet.
😳
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
High above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

"Are there any cast members still alive from the Wizard of Oz?
No. All of the principal cast is dead. As of the 24 May, 2018[1]passing of the last living Munchkin, Jerry Maren (who portrayed one of the three representatives of the Lollipop Guild) at age 98, every actor who received an on screen credit or spoke dialogue in the Wizard of Oz is dead."
Sad news.
Still the same places, states apart?
Today Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri remain two separately incorporated cities but together, along with a number of other cities and suburbs, are part of the Kansas City Metropolitan area.
Where does the Tin man live?
o m g .
They are not in Kansas anymore?
And the Show me State has shown 'em!!!
GO CHIEF'S!!!
Now comes the rest of the journey. There again, in caring for our parents we are determined to give them the end of life experience they want and deserve. We are on our 3rd agency for 24/7 care and my parents are very happy with them. They both have Alzheimers and are still mobile and able to make their wishes known- they just need help and supervision. Even with 24/7 care, it sure feels like something comes up every day. One or both not having a good day and trying to send the caregivers away, clogging the toilet b/ c they put something in it they shouldn’t have, agency not able to replace a caregiver who called out (hopefully that’s resolved), MD Appts, etc.... we fought so hard to get our parents back it’s hard to be cynical about those things- so far.
I truly believe in Karma and even if you were never close to those you find yourself responsible for, doing the right thing for someone else will change your life
I know my boys have a whole new respect for the elderly and for putting others who need help before themselves. If that lesson Is the best gift I ever give them that’s fine with me.
As for my parents, they will have everything they need and as happy a life from now til the end as possible That’s the best we can do for them. What an honor to be given that responsibility.
A pickle? That’s hilarious!
I stopped mailing Christmas cards. I used to send cards to people who still send them to me. I stopped that too. Kind of a pain. Some people love sending them. I hate those letters in some of them. Hahaha, sorry but I do. They all sound so rehearsed and contrived.
I ordered you a computer online for your birthday.
Inside:
But it crashed!
The cards come printed with those 'funny' sentiments.
Gershun, that wasn't a funny sentiment.
CM was right. Who, really, are we supposed to give them to?
Yep.........
"I saw this card and thought f*** it, that'll do."
It made me laugh to myself all afternoon, but who could you possibly send it to?
It isn't that I don't understand people's anxieties, or governments' anxieties not to be accused of not doing enough to "control" the pandemic; but I keep wondering - how many people worldwide have died of 'flu or 'flu-related complications this year that haven't attracted the media's attention because it's just the average predicted outcome? Let's get excited about that for a few minutes: they do say "a change is as good as a rest."
Super Bowl LIV
Feb 02, 2020
Hard Rock Stadium
Miami, FL
So, a website has leaked the top 18 commercials for the Superbowl. That will really be something to watch! See the "Typical American" ad by Budweiser!
Using criticisms towards Americans, it is very encouraging, when truth is demonstrated. You will have to see it.
And I had a mamogram today, it got lost in the shuffle of moms hospital stay and my dental work.. my ladies are fine in case you were wondering.. LOL
So very sorry you feel lost.
In keeping with the original spirit and intention of this thread:
Can you still find your way to an In N OUT burger place?
