YESTERDAY

 

WALKED OUT OF WALGREENS AND THIS PRESENTED ITSELF

(and he drives a Cadillac)

SO, TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK

 

THIS HAPPENED TODAY AND I'D LOVE TO KNOW YOUR OPINION.

WENT INTO DUNKIN' DONUTS TO GET AN ICED COFFEE. I HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING ICED COFFEE AT PLACES LIKE THIS, McDONALD'S AS WELL, WHEN IT COMES TO ANSWERING THE QUESTION, DO YOU WANT CREAM IN THAT?

YES, I LIKE CREAM, SOME CREAM, NOT TOO MUCH CREAM. THESE FAST FOOD JOINTS LOVE TO MAKE THE COFFEE 1/2 COFFEE, 1/2 CREAM. BLECHH.

IT'S ALWAYS A PROBLEM TRYING TO DESCRIBE WHAT I WANT.

TODAY AS I ORDERED MY COFFEE AND THE CLERK ASKED ME THE CREAM QUESTION, IN THAT SPLIT SECOND I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO SAY, 

"I LIKE THE COFFEE THE COLOR OF BEYONCE." 

BUT THERE WAS A YOUNG GUY (A LOVELY SHADE OF MOCHA)  ALSO BEHIND THE COUNTER JUST STANDING THERE. IN THE NEXT SPLIT SECOND I SAID, 

"I LIKE MY COFFEE THE COLOR OF HIM."

WELL, THINGS TURNED QUITE FROSTY. I BEGAN TALKING NON-STOP, APOLOGIZING, SAYING I MEANT NOTHING DEMEANING ABOUT MY REMARK. ULTIMATELY, THIS YOUNG GUY JUST SAID TO ME THAT IT WAS A WEIRD THING TO SAY. 

I DON'T DISAGREE. BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS RACIST. WAS IT?

I'M GOING TO VISIT MY LOCAL BENJAMIN MOORE STORE, 

GET SOME COLOR SWATCHES & KEEP THOSE IN MY WALLET.

OH NO! I WAS JUST GOING TO POP OVER TO PEENEE'S BLOG TO SNATCH A PHOTO OF ONE OF HIS MOCHA BEAUTIES & PEENEE'S BLOG IS GONE!!

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO???

THRIFT STORE SITINGS

 

I LOVED THAT THE SENDER'S NAME IS WAYNETTE.

RAQUEL WELCH

WITH NEWS OF RAQUEL'S PASSING, I WENT LOOKING FOR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO THAT USED FOOTAGE OF HER (FROM SOMETHING, I'VE NO IDEA WHAT) SAYING EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY ALMOST EVERY DAY.

NO DESCRIPTION NEEDED

 

NEW FACES of 2023

 

GOTTA LOVE HOW MADONNA'S 

WELL ON HER WAY TO PEGGY LEE.

BIG MOUTH

 I KNOW I'M LATE TO THE GAME, BUT HAVE 

Y'ALL WATCHED BIG MOUTH ON NETFLIX??

OBITUARIES!

 

WELL,  LISA MARIE DIED AND THAT GOT ME THINKING ABOUT DEATH WHICH MADE ME MENTION MY OBITUARY POSTS WHICH MADE ME GO CHECK OUT MY LATEST STASH! I WAS QUITE SURPRISED TO FIND HOW MUCH I'VE GOT IN THAT FOLDER.

DISCLAIMER: AS I'VE SAID BEFORE, I MAY BE MAKING FUN OF THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE'S NAMES OR SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR FACE OR THEIR WRITTEN OBITUARY, BUT I AM IN NO WAY CELEBRATING THEIR DEMISE.

I HOPE THEY ALL LIVED FABULOUS LIVES, SUFFERED LITTLE AND HAD GLORIOUS JOURNEYS AS THEY ASCENDED TO THEIR GLORY. 

Imagine living to 67 and this is your best photo. 

When your name is a typo.

Wonder if that symbol was on her ID?

If you could see the dick my neighbor had you'd gasp.

What. A. Face.

Who among us hasn't . . . . 

Wish her folks would've given her 

a middle name like Donaldessa, or Donaldina.

YET ANOTHER STUPID CELEBRITY DEATH

I WISH I'D THOUGHT OF THIS, BUT LADY BUNNY BEAT ME TO IT.

 AND BY STUPID I MEAN THERE'S A TOO LONG LINE OF THESE FAMOUS PEOPLE, SOME CRAZILY TALENTED THAT DIE WAY TOO EARLY BECAUSE OF DUMB THINGS LIKE DRUGS AND DRINK. WHENEVER I SEE ANYTHING ABOUT WHITNEY HOUSTON I IMMEDIATELY GROWL, ANGRY THAT BITCH IS GONE. 

SHOULD PRINCE BE DEAD? 

I WON'T BOTHER TO LIST THEM ALL, YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO SEE WHAT OBITUARIES I'VE AMASSED?

December 24, 1959

 

This is our living room, captured with a black & white Polaroid. It's easy to surmise that there wasn't tons of money for lots of gifts. That bicycle was a hand-me-down from someone. I'm noticing it was a girl's bike. Hmm. 

We received some presents Christmas morning for a number of years as well as a few Chanukah gifts. I never really wondered why we were getting "Christmas" presents, hell, any day was a good day for presents! Turns out we were getting gifts on December 24th because that was our parents wedding anniversary, but we didn't know it! We were told Mum & Dad got married September 24th! 

Seems someone had been pregnant and a shotgun was involved.

                                                                                      

Notice what's on top of that Zenith television set. 

I still have that clock and vase. My sister has the menorah.

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING

 

THE CARD FROM MY THANKSGIVING DAY GUEST

IF YOU'RE CELEBRATING

PLEASE, CELEBRATE

NOVEMBER 12, 2022

 

And by the way, while sitting here fretting 

over my sad blogspot problems, the

Nevada senate race was called for the Democrat 

keeping the Senate under Democratic control! 

Never thought this could happen, 

figured our democracy was over. 

Couldn't be more thrilled to be wrong!

I CAN'T EVEN COMMENT ON OTHER BLOGGER BLOGS!

 SO TODAY INTO MY INBOX CAME TWO COMMENTS FROM A POST OF COOKIE'S. THE POSTS CAME BECAUSE I'D ALSO COMMENTED. WEIRD PART IS, THIS POST WAS FROM 2021 AS WERE THE COMMENTS! 

SO, I SASHAYED OVER TO COOKIE'S TO POST MY CONFUSION AND I'M UNABLE TO COMMENT! I TYPED IT OUT, PRESSED PUBLISH AND VOILA!

NOTHING.

I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH GOOGLE. I SIGN OUT OF MY ACCOUNT & ATTEMPT TO SIGN INTO ANOTHER & IT SIGNS ME BACK INTO THE ONE I JUST SIGNED OUT OF.

I HATE GOOGLE.

OH, AND I DON'T HAVE A "LABELS" BUTTON ANYMORE.

BUT I LOVE THE NEW PUPPY.

ELIZABETH, RESTED, RELAXED AND READY

 

I NEVER SAW PHOTOS OF HRH LOOKING SO COMFORTABLE, 

SO HAPPY, SO HUMAN. WOULD IT HAVE BEEN A NO-NO FOR 

HER TO HAVE PRESENTED THIS PERSONA TO HER PUBLIC?

ALSO ADORE THIS GIF, WHICH I RELY ON FREQUENTLY. 

WISH SHE'D GIVEN JUST A BIT MORE OF THIS.

NEW BABY!

SAY HELLO TO GABBY!
