Odds and ends.

While I enjoy a sweet treat as much as the next girl, and am seriously pro dessert…

.

.

The word dump tends to take a little bloom off the rose for me.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten. He tries to hide, but isn’t very good at it.

.

.

A very clever use of faucet handles to be sure. And now that I think about it, a spring flower that even my dastardly woodchucks couldn’t eat.

.

.

Facebook. It’s annoying… but still the best way I know to keep up with old friends. And speaking of old, this was my FB memory from the other day. A photo of me and the hubs in the French Alps many moons ago. Yes, I was rock climbing in flip flops. Oh to be young and stupid again..

Fuzz… part 5.

For my friends of a certain age… did your mother ever force feed you castor oil? If so, be glad it was only a tablespoon and you weren’t on Mussolini’s bad side.

.

.

Next up … a little story on something you should never do to increase sexual pleasure.

.

.

Ouch! Not to mention eww.

.

.

I knew that bitch had military experience! We’re doomed.

You have to wonder what kind of little boy or girl fantasized about owning a company that specializes in these products. “What do you want to be when you grow up Susie/Sammy?” “A butt paste and douche distributor mommy. It will be so much fun!”

Strange things seen while shopping.

33 Comments

.

Shopping trips with girlfriends are always fun. We shop, we laugh, we drink, we shop, we laugh, we post pictures of stupid things we see on social media.

Like this sign I saw at the Salvation Army thrift store.

.

.

Um…. it’s a thrift store.

Isn’t everything unwanted?

.

.

Pinkfang. Because nothing says Easter like a row of razor sharp shark teeth.

.

.

This. In case your toilet bowl needs to see a little more action.

Moving on, I saw the next horror at T.J.Max.

.

.

Giant wicker pineapples. (There’s a woman walking by on the top left for scale.) And if the mere existence of these things isn’t stupid enough?

.

.

Because you know someone, somewhere had to do it for there be a prohibitive sign.

🤣

News you can’t use.

Yes, stupid headlines are back. There are so damn many, I have to share…

.

.

While it’s true I don’t have any children, I have often felt the need to turn a hose on one. *Note to self – inquire about teacher’s assistant positions in Kentucky *

.

.

Oh FFS. Are we such delicate creatures that we can’t stand the full force of carbonated bubbles now? I fear for humanity, I really do.

.

.

I’m not a sportswoman. Hell, my idea of exercise these days is bending over to scoop out the litter box… but if the breakfast of champions is beer? I may have to rethink my aversion to physical activity.

Wombats rule.

17 Comments

.

I do love me some wombats. Cute, cuddly, and utterly ridiculous. What more could you want?

.

.

And now, there’s a game devoted entirely to them.

.

.

Granted the premise is a bit lame. Wombats don’t build towers, and I seriously doubt they’ve ever voted. (though that would explain the 2016 election.) I won’t be buying this, but I did chuckle over some of the comments.

.

.

Now there’s a game I might buy! Wombats are the only creature on earth to poo cubes, so it seems silly not to incorporate that trait into a wombat tower building game.

.

.

An immortal wombat?

I’m so ready for that.

This and that

I’m not a hot tub type of girl. The thought of sitting in a warm bucket of water, pruning up with friends is not high on my list of preferred activities. And while the idea of free floating ray shaped cleansers is compelling….

.

.

The idea of a scum covered pool of my bff’s exfoliated skin hasn’t changed my mind.

.

.

One of our local grocery stores is now posting trivia. How fun is that?

.

.

A combination of Scotch and Amaretto? I’ll refuse it and take my chances. Blech!

.

.

The fact that there are people who will buy this product instead of just picking one up off the ground makes my head hurt.

Spring is officially on its way…

.

Every morning for the past week I’ve woken up to honking. Not inner city traffic and pissed off commuters, but honking all the same.

.

.

Canada geese are on their way north, and the river behind our house is a veritable goose super highway. No need for an alarm clock when these fellows are overhead…. they’re loud!

.

.

Large groups and small, for the first hour after dawn the sky is full of travelers.

.

.

A raucous and sure sign spring is on the way.

Vermont is still calling.

17 Comments

.

Another post about possible Vermont accommodations appeared on my feed today. Clearly, the state misses us.

.

.

And while I love the idea of staying in a romantic little treehouse ….

.

.

I admit the first thing that went through my mind was damn, that’s positively asking for a red squirrel invasion. So, hard pass from me.

.

.

I’d surely have nightmares.

A nice surprise.

19 Comments

.

The husband and I tried a relatively new restaurant/pub last week.

.

.

And from the quality of their cocktails, I see a return trip in our future.

.

.

The snow covered cranberry was delightful.

.

.

As was the gin sipper, but it was this sign that got my husband’s attention.

.

.

Now that’s a great idea, and clearly quite popular.

When our spinach flatbread appetizer came out to the table without the aforementioned spinach? The owner immediately came over and said a replacement was being made which he would box up for us take home, free. As was the fabulous error flatbread we were already halfway through. And when he saw my husband’s USMC hat? The beer was free as well. I could get used to this place.

.

.

A fried haddock sandwich with dill aioli and a harvest salad with blackened chicken later, we were replete. After tipping large and dropping $10 on the bar to pay for a couple of veteran’s beers later… we walked out past this.

.

.

Clearly there’s a history of service at this restaurant/pub.

.

.

And while I’m not a religious person, I do appreciate the honor paid to our veterans.
