just remind him that you would most likely need to make changes to the condo to make it “home”.
Just don’t make the mistake of trying to watch a bowdlerized version on Comedy Central. The Movie Channel or Encore seems to run it often.
then she can get those reusable grocery shopping bags and really join the earth watchers.
NEVER! they carry cholera and plague in those crevices!
LOL.
When I was stationed in Millington, AMC was on at lunchtime, for those with morning classes (4-Noon)...led to a dozen or so jarheads watching...it was de riguer when I got there...never knew how it got started...
I doubt women have the same appreciation for the outdoor pee...lol
There’s a word that just doesn’t get used enough.
What? I hear “encore” all the time.
I can’t visualize you as a Falls Churcher, any more than I can see myself as a city dweller-I don’t think either if us are the no make-up type, and I’m into wearing boots-not Birkenstocks...
Sharpen up that routine, and it will be followed by an exclamation point... ;-)
i could go into any Trader Joes or Whole Foods and start taking pix of the Falls Churchers in their native habitat. i like to shop at Trader Joes but i laugh myself silly every time i am in there bc the shoppers are caricatures.
The garage guy has departed for his home in Georgia for some weeks-with his wife, not the paid companion he’d negotiated a deal with. Yesterday, Ms. garage guy engaged me in conversation about their reconciliation, and she was clearly on a fishing expedition.
Either she heard rumors about him being seen around the county with flashy blonde, self-propelled arm candy 1/2 his age, or-more likely-after some 18 years of marriage she knows what he does when she isn’t looking. She asked for my “professional opinion” of a man who plays when the cat is away, and I told her honestly that my work had been voc rehab/workers comp cases, not couples counseling-and as far as what I might have seen/heard around the garage, I know nothing...
I love to watch people like that too-our version of Falls Churchers can be seen wandering in confusion with stupid smiles at-wait for it-Tractor Supply in Boerne.
I know why my neighbors and I shop there-for metal ranch gates, game fencing, deer feed, horse and stock supplies, pet supplies, etc-but all the earth watchers seem to buy is pet food, which is cheaper at the grocery store for the same brands-and stuff like tomato and potted flowering plants. But they are there in all their glory-save the earth T-shirts, birkenstocks, and BMW driving...
the telenovelas just write themselves down there!
In order to avoid being rudely mirth-some, those stores need to be hit early.
Preferably during the week.
Whole Foods is one of the places that actually stocks rendered duck fat.
Searing meat, sautéing veggies...better than butter.e
They really do-with such a small population, mostly either related or acquainted-not even any snowbirds or summer people any more-gossip travels faster with cell phones and e-mail, and is a free source of amusement...
No thanks. One of our fave local bars/restaurants uses duck fat on their popcorn. They tell you that up front and you figure how bad can that be? Then you have to spit it in the napkin, LMAO. We went with some friends a few months back and to a person everyone was revolted. This past sat xshub and I were there and again he tried it and gagged. I did not bother. He said they’d sell a whole lot more beer if they had legit popcorn!
I use olive oil to sauté not butter.
Whole foods is 60+ miles away-but lard is available at the grocery store 18 miles away. There are usually plenty of wild and escaped domestic ducks hanging out down on the river bank, but I’m not really fond of duck...
