I’d better go make sure he shut it off when he finished with it.

We learned to make sandwiches with an iron in Girl Scouts.

What grip did they advise for the sand wedges?

LOL! Nice club. The Boy Scouts have a golf merit badge, but I don’t think there’s a Girl Scouts badge.

At least if the “beef” in the pot pie was soylent green, there would have been more of it.

Good morning. I need a shower and then I’m going to make some coffee; the bathroom needs to warm up a big longer before I shower.

You could always get a little Norfolk Island pine tree, and tell your folks you thought it was pretty and your apartment needs more green. They are fairly easy to care for, and will only grow so big as the container they are planted in will allow. And they are so pretty when they get new bright green growth on them.

Surround them with other plants...and you will have your tree! <3

The trend nowadays is for trees decorated in blue and white for the Jews. I actually had a small one once, all blue and white ornaments, and someone asked if I was Jewish, though the rest of my Christmas decorations were traditional red and green.

I even had a blue and white felt tree skirt, with a million sequins that I sewed on it by hand.

So get your little Norfolk Island pine, and you can always decorate it later. Grocery stores sell them this time of year, along with little potted spruce trees. The NI Pines are so much prettier!

I sort-of like having a tree, but I’m not sure it’s worth the disruption to our apartment. It’s tough to make one fit in NYC - even a small one.

We have some floor lamps we could put the presents under.

I’m sure if Mrs. ArGee even knew I thought such a thought you’d hear the yelling where you live.

We unplug all small appliances when we’re not using them.

Which lead to a popular aphorism in our home. “The toaster toasts faster when you plug it in.”

You should suggest to Bill that he run for President as a Democrat.

He sounds over-qualified.

Bill would be an improvement over any of the Democrat candidates. He’s actually quite bright and knows a lot of stuff ... he’s just an epic flake.

I’m not sure what it means for a night to be “carolized” but I still love the song. I don’t like all jazz, but I do like this style.

I hope that blond epidemic that Bill seems to be isn’t contagious...

Maybe he can marry a rich woman who will hire him a valet.

Tom and Sally are refusing to get out of bed, but at least they’re having to listen to Elen play electric guitar!

Will Bill ever be able to be on his own?

When Igor was alive, we had conversation starters like that, too!! They are quite common in my family, which is why we so seldom get together -- the collective spouses would have to sit on the sidelines and watch the interplay between the sibs, and try to keep score.

It's a thankless job, being married into our parents' family...

You answered my question before I posted it, so thanks, backwards.

If he doesn’t set his apartment on fire in the first year, I think he’ll survive.

A lot of people survive apartment fires if the flames aren’t between them and the exits. It might also teach some valuable life lessons, like how to buy insurance and wot-not.

My youngest brother’s oldest son seemed to have trouble calming down his driving. One particularly bad encounter with a tree left my nephew in a neck brace for many weeks. His driving is much better now.

He’s a blonde, too. Hmmmm.
