The kitten is not interested in dealing with us today.
It’s starting to get windy here, secondary to Storm Zeta that hit the Gulf Coast. The orange lights in the tree out front are waving around in a spooky fashion.
People are funny. Some of them want to be surrounded by lots of Stuff, and others don’t.
Good morning. Happy Friday Eve.
Sorry to hear about doctors charging twice. I’m sure it has nothing to do with Obamacare making it less profitable to run an office.
Some friends of mine live in LA and from what I could see on the video clips they shared on FB, they’re being hit pretty hard.
We had a hurricane when I was in Del Rio, but I don’t recall the name of it. Just that I would have been happier to have said “I’ve never been in a hurricane.” Now, however, I can say, “I don’t ever want to experience another hurricane.”
Happy Friday Eve.
The good thing about being charged twice is that they have to refund one of the payments. It could be six months before it happens, but still... ;o]
Back from getting my hair cut. Drama Queen came by. Her power is out. I gave her a coat of hers that I found in the closet. She has left again.
Long ages ago in Los Angeles there was as men’s clothier that ran add in the local TV market featuring the tag-line,
“Nice suit! C&R?”
Sadly, C&R collapsed into Chapter 11 during the reign of the Clintoon, but thanks for the fresh breath of nostalgia.
LOL! I remember C&R! That was pretty much The Place to shop for men’s clothing.
Anytime you’re up against government rules, you should pretty much expect a humorless experience.
But, then, that can be true in the kitchen, as well. I personally find no humor in the apparent rule that dishes I’m the sink awaiting their turn in the washer may not be stacked in orderly fashion. Someone, it seems, feels the need to compete with Pisa for “Most Precarious Edifice,” which — in a fit of A.I. humor — autocorrect rendered as “Ex-wife.”
Much like Corelle stacked haphazardly, these can be quite precarious, as I understand from some who have them; more so than the non-ex variety. Notably in the context of this missive, kitchen sinks and their sometime comments, act as an amplifier of this precarious quality.
Drama Queen never enters except when she wants something and never leaves until she has to.
Sharon came by. She wanted to know how often I thought those things with the books and other stuff falling over happened. I had to grit my teeth. I told her it wasn’t funny any more, after the bathroom scale.
Then I went to the library. Now I want to go to bed because my right leg is causing some real problems for me. I forgot to get some medicated rub for it on Tuesday, and I really need something. Ice packs only work part of the time.
C&R had nearly 70 stores at their peak. When they closed, ey sold several to Men’s Warehouse, which is still going, although they’ve taken a severe hit during this Wupocalypse, and might not survive.
Life and Death in the “Rag Industry.”
We had one set of Corelle. On our way to Reedsport OR, we stopped in Hemet CA to visit some friends and when we checked the interior of the 5th wheel, we found that the Corelle was in a bazillion pieces.
That was from the washboard road Igor said wasn’t a problem to navigate.
I’ve just recently seen some ads for Men’s Wearhouse, and I had already given them up for “Never To Be Resurrected.” It’s a shame, too.
Ahh, the surprise refund. Like finding $20 hiding in the sofa, you’re only recovering a loss you’ve had to endure, but it’s weird how that makes not getting ahead feel like a win.
“Hooray! I broke even!”
I suppose that is cause for celebration over in Vegas, though, so...
Ya hear about the Baker who ran his ovens too hot?
His Accountant convinced him that black loaves matter.
Tee-hee.
Boy! That’s Corelle all over again. And I DO MEAN “all over”; that stuff is really durable, but when it breaks, it doesn’t just crack in two; it fairly explodes into tiny shards.
Thank you. Thank you.
I’ll be here all week...
...and is it not odd how this thread has turned back to the subject of plates, again?
We used to have some Corelle pieces. I never thought much of it.
JimRob may never forgive you for getting his site trashed in a riot.
