My grandfather lost his right arm at the elbow in a farming accident. He played lots of cards but needed to use a cardholder. The few taverns he frequented would keep one behind the bar for him. His game was sheepshead. My father’s games were pool, sheepshead, and gin. Mine were pinochle and gin.
LOL! I stopped watching television in 2002 and resumed around 2014. But since resuming only watch news programs. When people talk about television shows I sit there with a big “?” over my head. I’ve actually binged on Breaking Bad but stopped somewhere in the second season. Mr White got to unbelievable, but Jesse was awesome always. He just cracked me up. I still call currency “fat stacks” because of him.
The mods, whom I’m on first name basis with, have me on their frequent flyer list for flagging. We all exchange Christmas gifts and I went to their kid’s graduation and bar mitzvahs. Can you say that??? Hmmm? Well, can you?
PS - I only need two more posts flagged to win the trip to Hawaii.
The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning for Minneapolis for the next 36 hours. Apparently we can expect temperatures to soar above 32F. Pray for us.
My sister in North Carolina was sharing their recent hot temps, and higher “feels like”/ heat index. Our “feels like” is actually lower than the actual , but still hot, temperatures.
We had to put our beloved French Bulldog Bulgari to sleep Our baby was only 6 years old. Besides having hip dysplasia, and cataracts, he was recently diagnosed with severe intervertebral disease, and was having some neurological issues the last month or so. The last few days he was having constant seizures and collapsing. He was in so much pain that we had no choice but to end his suffering. RIP baby
Sorry for your your loss @paryzer , My 17.5 year old miniature pinscher passed away last month so I know how hard it can be to lose a pet that has become part of the family.
#swoon. Hawaii…Your reply is healing for me. Sounds dramatic but I was thinking people just don’t get my smartas humor. It’s hot and I don’t have the fortitude right now but when it’s cold again and I am less busy just you wait mister. Having a gunpowder gin with some juice and a lot of ice now. Ahhhh’
Done!
You might need to resort to dressing in single layers. And don’t forget it’s not just the heat, it’s the humidity.
