Memories of 21, 42, 63 ... the 84th meandering

clicked!

happy Turkey Day to all the American-style WildClickers!!!

if you're having Tofurkey, please don't tell me. I'd rather imagine turkey leftovers than tofurkey leavings ...

smooches and hugs to you all

Now on to the leftovers! Going to go click now.

Yum - leftovers!

Not a tofuturkey with the bunch though, just lots of veggies, sauces, taters, and pumpking pie.

Today rain and snow for the Sierras. Fab post holiday surprise.

Good day all ~

No leftovers here -------- We had a small game hen we split between us and veggies. Mmmmmm good. And, more than enough.

I saw a great home made sign on the Nat'l news the other day ----- it said, "Hunters Wives, spending husbands 'Bucks'.." I love it.

Another good one =

Patient in Doctor's exam room. Doc told patient, "I can't see anything wrong with you. It may be the alcohol that's wrong." The patient replied, "Well, Doctor, then maybe I will come back when you're sober."

Clocked.... glad y'all had a great day yesterday, and plenty leftovers to much on. Happy days.

Love to all xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cozy feets in bear paws and woolie socks...

Kittens nynite under their smart blankets (so cold)

Did have a good day, thanks, Iz...and no grocery shopping for a few days, hurray

Enjoy your evening, wildclickers..........stay warm.

We had no problems with the "Black Friday" shopping rush yesterday - we stayed home. Simple solution.

I'm at the age I look at all the crap I've collected over the years and think to myself - 'myself, what is all this stuff doing here?' and, who the heck wants it after I'm gone? Answer, not any of the kids - nor any of their friends I'm sure.

I'm going to begin donating to our local museum - except they would have to make additions to the space available. Maybe I'll give some to the Texarkana Museum and the Jefferson and Marshall museums..... That should get rid of about half. Hmmmmm, ----------

Speaking of Marshall, TX - just down the road a bit - I rewatched the movie, "The Great Debate" last night. It's a true story about Wiley College in Marshall during the 1930's. The all black college had a debate team that was so successful that they actually debated Harvard ----------- and won. The team and all it's successors never lost a debate during the following ten years. Quite a story.

Oh, down here in TX land the term "a bit" literally may mean anywhere between a mile or threee and fifty miles - depending on who's speaking and to whom.

And, words like - 'FAR' - have little to do with distance - but, really mean something hot - as in, "The far is hot." And, other words like, CHEER - as in, "You come rat cheer now."

Big Grin - Texans really don't talk that way - we only do it for tourists.

No Black Friday shopping here, but I did go out this morning and snag myself a new set of KitchenAid pots. One of the Big boxes. A number of the pots and pans that the hamburgers bought me when I got my first post-university apartment (nearly 30 years ago ), have been giving up the ghost in the past year. Time to be a grown-up and get a nice set. So I did - but I waited til they were majorly on sale.

Happy happy happy. I can make some nice big pots of soup again now - so on my way home I picked up taters, onions, sweet taters, turnip, squash, garlic, ginger, chicken, fennel ... soup will be happening!

Me too. Couldn't see myself sitting at a store at 4:00 a.m. for stuff that will be further reduced after Christmas.

Most of my collection of stuff will be given to my daughter and nephew, family heirlooms mostly. Nice having those things for so many years though. Lots of good memories attached to each item.

Wonderful you can donate a portion of your collection where they'll be seen and enjoyed.

Expressions escape me at the moment, but my daughters grandmother will have me splitting a gut laughing with her sayings (that arn't printable) Here, the only oddity is "Down the road a piece" meaning anywhere (with no directions except landmarks) to funny.

Beth, don't you love the old pots and pans given to us by our parents! I've bought pans through the years, but have kept and still use moms "Guardian Ware". The coffee pot is awsome with a memory or two. During the war, the handle broke loose, and my dad brought it to work at the ship yards where a friend welded the handle. Probably will last till the end of time...and still brews the best coffee.

Send the wildclickers a bowl of soup, Beth.

Have a marvelous day all. Clear skies for the Sierras today.

Soup!!!!!! ehBeth, please please please make some Liver Dumpling Soup for me!!!!!! Love it.................Mmmmmmmmm

Stradee, Yep, "Down the road a piece." is downright a thang we know bout round cheer. Yer write too - it has to have a landmark. Distances aren't a concern.

There are many more slights of words that we down southerners make the Yankees get their monies worth from...... (((How's that for prepositioning???)))

Geeee those people up Nawth are ---- OK, and that's my opinion.

That includes Canada also, ehBeth......... I will always think of Canada as a land that really seems like a foreign country....... Well, (another ei,ei,OH word ---- Aaaa?) That's the hardest set of letters in the English language to really get down. i before e - - - EXCEPT for a ton of other letters in words that don't have an A sound to it.

That and learning the alphabet as a kid - - - A Minnow????? What the heck is a fish doing in the alphabet???? And!!!!!!, WHY does 'ph' be pronounced as if it were an 'f'????? Drat and dregges.......... And, why do we pronounce the 'g' differently in certain words???????

All that was a serious problem for me as a child..

Grinnnngin

Clicked while the laundry spinned and spun. No sun ... wanted to hang the clothes out but <sigh> no sun today.

God Bless to you too, Stradee and all.
All clicked for today, too.

Good morning, Teeny and all

What i'm doing padding around the house at 5:00 a.m.? The herd. Kittens began stirring at 3:00 a.m. Fed and sleeping now, peaceful little faces. Me will have much coffee till noon. (sigh)


http://rainforest.care2.com/i?p=583091674

I know what ya mean, Stradee....... Each morning I awaken at approx 0620 hrs make coffee and the news is at 0700 hrs ----- On Sundays, the news is at 0800 hrs. However, my internal clock still gets me up at approx 0620 hrs.
Down here at the Bible Buckle - that means there is nothing except preaching on each channel - I give it the old, "Jesus Christ Amighty." and then take my cup of Java to the compy and turn it on. There is, however and interestingly enough, a program "Teen News" that starts at 0730 hrs on the same channel for the news. It's refreshingly interesting most of the time...and, there isn't someone screaming that I'm going to Hell.

All clicked Ya'll. hehehe

Hey hey hey dahhhhhhhlings!


Grinnign with you Dan

((((Stradee)))) - ahhhhhh... kittens ...ahhhhhhh

Hugs to y'all - so glad Thanksgiving was happy happy.

Bethie - i love you girl. x

hugs all clickesr

Cricked.

Way to early for me, Dan. Generally i'm still asleep at 7:00 a.m. Never had a prob sleeping - and now that i don't leave my house for work...heaven. Although it is nice sitting outside at dawn during the summer watching deer and other critters waking to the new day. Peaceful

Good God. Are there still tele preachers yelling at the top of their lungs at midnight? "Lord have mercy, bless Jesus, and send money" amen
Hey dan, dontcha wanna be saved??? hehehe

Izzzzzzzzzzie...yep kittens that sleeps 14-16 hours each day were romping and playing at 3:00 a.m saying "yo ma, get up"...!

They are sooooooooo sweet though - the eldest is 19 yrs old.

Hope you're feeling well and sending hugs from me and the herd.

Clicked through.

Making lamb broth for the dogs to have with their kibble. Listening to Dogtown on the t.v. I admire the people who work there.

I'm up at 5:00 AM each morning from having a Navy husband. General quarters was 6:00 AM and if you didn't live aboard ship, you had to be on deck for roll call, unless you had watch, which is like guard duty overnight. We're both retired, have nowhere to go, but I'm up making coffee and watching the early news and weather.

I have cable and received a thousand channels, about 20 PBS channels, which I love, so no, televangelists yelling at me! I do watch Mass on the Catholic Channel, but not daily. If a preacher is on our TV, it's because one of us rolled over accidentally and changed the channel!

Dragged out all of the Christmas paraphernalia today, but too tired to put it up. There's always tomorrow!
