Duke Bushido Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Awww.... don't worry- it isn't quite depression. it is just a pang of wistful nostalgia. Like everyone else, I have a few dolks to whom I must mail a Christmas gift or two. Now anyone who has heard mention of my seasonal Santa look and who might suspect that I am quite extroverted should understand that I absolutely _love_ Christmas (not the commercialized bits with thr endless adds and the headless nervous hope that maybe this will be the year that we win the war on Christmas (really: just win. Either side; I dont care who wins. I just want the stupid cyclic complaints to stop)... I enjoy it so much that when it is time to pack evertthing back,up, I always insit on leaving one thing out- one decoration- for the whole year. For several years it is been a particular candle or ornament or ribbon-- wife has assured me that she is fine with this, but that I will never agwin talk her into leaving the whole tree up. Not sure why- it was so much faster the next year! Just slide it from th3 dining room (she acceoted this originally,because our dining room has no front-facing windows, so the neighbors would never know) and right into the living room windows- done! Probably,because neither ofbus had ever had an artificial tree,before, and had no idea what a massive pain they are to dust whwn ledt out for a year. And that whilenit was obvious we xouldnt dust it with a leaf blower, it turns out that a shop vac will also down whole ornaments, too..... Anyway, I just received word that the final Christmas present I sent out was opened an hour or two ago..... Christmas is over again..... So I have to think about next year now...

There's a Santa hat on my car's back seat right now. It's usually on the passenger seat's headrest for most of the year. My late wife loved Christmas, and it's a pleasant reminder of the time we had together. Duke Bushido and Cygnia 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 One of the biggest days is coming up: January 29. It is both National Puzzle Day and National Corn Chip Day. I will be celebrating by making my famous Puzzle Shaped Corn Chips. I haven't done this in years. Should be fun. This year I have large and small shapes.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted January 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Mnemonic Thirty days hath September, April, June and November. Unless a leap year is its fate, February hath twenty-eight. All the rest hath three days more, excepting January, which hath six thousand, one hundred and eighty-four.

Pariah Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 I saw a bunch of Groundhog Day jokes on the Book of Face today. I swear, they're the same jokes everybody was telling this time last year. Old Man and Logan D. Hurricanes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
