Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
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.
It was supposed to be:
Friends:
"Who else is gonna tell you you are NOT a brat?"
"Who else is gonna tell you you're a brat?"

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??
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.
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.
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.
Can that candy really still be good in February?
It's crazy.
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.
not sure I could bend over to pull a cute lil gun out of my boot 👢
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.
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.

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?
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!
Good to hear you got away.
Any news on your Bil?
Wish we all could just get away, take a moment to change our environment.
The secret is real butter and Lard.
Sounds like a Christmas truffle/or is it a trifle? I don't know.
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."
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.
