I am a brat and proud of it. All ye brats, UNITE!

Who on here remembers Monty Python's song "I'm a Lumberjack and I don't Care"

How about I'm a Brat and I don't Care!

Let's see if I can compose a quick Brat poem.

I'm a Brat and I don't care.
I sit all day in my underwear.

I pick my nose, I fart all day
When people say stop I do it anyway.

Yes, I'm a brat and I don't care
I cut my nails and leave them everywhere

I smoke cigars and blow it in your face
I block the aisles, "Hey, it's not a race"
You can wait, I do it every day
Find another aisle if it's not okay

Yes, I'm a brat and I don't care
I can't think of another line but
that's okay, cause I'm a brat and it's
my poem anyway.

I just saw another drrobert post on another Question and reported it. Looks like they'll be bombing various threads with this until they get banned. So goofy. Who falls for these things??

drrobert says he is caring for his 31 year old mother - funny, he looks older than that in his selfie. Love the doctor costume too - as if that makes him seem legit. Of course he must be a really crappy doctor if he has bad credit and needed a money from a loan shark.

Purses? Stopped carrying one years ago when my kids were very young. All I was carrying was kid's and husband's stuff. Heck they can carry their own stuff.

Then caregiving, and all the stuff I had to have with me just in case. I still am carrying it now, but one of the LLBean shoulder slings. What do I need out of there? My id and debit card, that is it! Need to get rid of it and further simplify.

Thank you Smeshque!
The JOY is a photo of my Christmas lights.

As a biblical christian, there has to be some sense of reaching out to those who do not know the Lord, aka, the lost. That is why I celebrate Christmas, even when I don't feel like it.

Gershun,
New to me, my knees have been really painful. Sometimes I feel crippled too, but
I am hopeful the Chiropractor can help me in January. Over-exerting is no longer a choice-easy does it for me.

Was reading online how payments made automatically may not cancel when you try. So I tried it out. Starting anew in January, we skipped 3 bottled water deliveries. Cancelled an automatic donation.
I like to shake things up financially to save money.
Also, increasing my FICO score is of interest to me.

Entering the New Year with zero balance on a credit card.! Yay.

So, I have a sewing job to do. My DH took my good scissors for use in the greenhouse. I went to the store this morning to get some new scissors. I walked in and I was overtaken by all valentine stuff, when just yesterday I was there and it was still xmas stuff.
Can that candy really still be good in February?
It's crazy.

My everything is getting stiff. I spent the day in the mall. I feel like a cripple right about now. The escalators are always out of commission it seems and walking down a flight of stairs today I felt my right knee give out. I waddled down the rest of the stairs. People were looking at me funny. LOL

Yes, I carry a purse. I finally got wise and got a smaller one. When I used to visit my Mom at the nursing home she thought I was carrying an overnight bag. She would say "Where are you off too?" thinking I was going away for the weekend. I said it's just my purse Mom. Mom "my heavens!" LOL

CWillie if you carry your new smartphone in your back pocket be careful cause if you've programmed numbers into it sometimes a little movement will cause you to butt dial someone. I've butt dialed people by mistake.

I've discovered the phone fits in my jeans back pocket OK but I wouldn't want to leave it there and sit on it while I'm driving, so that is a pain. I figure I can maybe use my old flip phone as an emergency phone when I'm out for a run since it can still call 911.

I too am not a purse carrier.
Now I see they have these leather purses, with a built in holster. I do not think it wise to carry a gun in your purse.
At least get a boot holster.
Anyway, I just thought that was odd.

There are really nice "backpack purses", some are leather. I liked the look so much, that my sister gave me hers, in leather! It looked really cool. (On her).

So, I did not like it. Had the backpack remodeled into a purse, with a long handle, which made the purse sit just behind and to the side. People said, where's your purse, because they could not see it as I approached. I still have it today, years later.

So you are not the only lady not wearing a purse. My sister walks in carrying her phone, computer, and keys, no purse. She is so much more cool than I ever will be.

I have been playing with my new phone, changing the ring tone and such - it is definitely easier to text than my flip phone. IDK about leaving it behind when I go out, being able to use it on the go is kind of the whole point of having one.

Seriously though, am I the only woman who refuses to drag a purse around with me? Do I have to dig one out of the back of the closet?

There is a zippered case you can velcro to your arm. It is cheap at the dollar store.
It can also velcro to a bicycle.

Even though I have not embraced the digital age, I can speak of this because my hubs has a smart phone, and he is OF the age.

Or, I know! Leave the technology at home, you can live without it, imo!

if you wear a belt maybe you can buy a case that attaches to the belt

OK, I need some advice from all of you who have embraced the digital age and have smart phones - how do I carry this thing around with me? I do not carry a purse, I shove my little flip phone and wallet in my back pockets.

BIL has endocarditis and will need antibiotics administered daily through a picc line for 6 weeks, after that there will likely be surgery to replace a deformed valve and aneurysm repair. He is home now but still very weak, and a battle to get a nurse to come out to their home to administer the antibiotics has already begun.

The ice cream cake with strawberry, chocolate, and coffee sounds good!
Sounds like a Christmas truffle/or is it a trifle? I don't know.

Book,
Have some fun with this, be fearless. There are videos online demonstrating making pie crusts. Here is the idea for music:


Two years before Dorothy LaBostrie and Little Richard gave us the song, “Tutti Frutti” was just a humble pie filling published to help shoo away readers’ winter blues.

Bake any of these 1950s pie fillings in a 21st-century pie crust while dancing to versions of “Tutti Frutti” released in the decades between recipes: Elvis Presley (1956), The Jesters (1960), Marc Bolan, Elton John & Ringo Starr (1972), Queen (1986), Alvin and the Chipmunks (1991), Little Richard (Little Richard film, 2000), and Buckwheat Zydeco (2013).

Tutti Frutti pie, to the song of Tutti Frutti. You will be baking a classic!
The more I read, it seems you can add any fruit?

Definition for tutti frutti pie:
"Tutti frutti (from Italian tutti i frutti, "all fruits"; also hyphenated tutti-frutti) is a colorful confectionery containing various chopped and usually candied fruits, or an artificial or natural flavouring simulating the combined flavour of many different fruits."

Home made pie crust. I've never ever did one. I usually just buy the graham cracker crust. So, just by this, I'm deviating from mom's recipe. I sure hope sis bought those ready-made crust because I'm not making it from scratch...

I'd rather make an ice cream cake - buy the coffee flavor ice cream, buy nuts, strawberry cake mix box, instant coffee (to make the ice cream flavor ice cream have a stronger coffee taste), plus sliced almonds and sliced fresh strawberries for toppings. I'd bake the strawberry cake. Cut it in thin layers horizontally, layer with ice cream, another layer of thin strawberry cake, top with ice cream, another final layer of cake... I Visualize this. How would it taste? I don't know. I'm not really much into baking/cooking. I don't even know if coffee and strawberry mix well in the taste department... Maybe best to do neopolitan ice cream with chocolate cake that has nuts in it? .. sigh.. I need to stop by the yogurt place and satisfy my chocolate/strawberry cravings. I'm obviously craving those 2 flavors.
