Please feel free to substitute iguana, wombat or naked mole rat for your pet of choice in today’s question.

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a gentle soul.

.

.

Though he was found wandering the roads by the shelter from which he was adopted, I can’t imagine him ever being a true stray.

.

.

He hides under the bed when company comes.

He runs from the vacuum, my blow dryer and the blender.

Loud noises, the voice of a stranger and barking dogs put him on the edge of a heart attack.

He was even terrified of the Christmas tree.

.

.

But the strangest thing he’s frightened of…

The thing that sends him skidding down the hall in terror every time it’s deployed?

.

.

The white trash bag I pull from a box, shake to loosen and line the kitchen can with. He’ll be halfway across the house… hear that, and run for cover.

It’s bizarre.

So what crazy thing is your pet scared of?

Because there’s at least one of you who looks forward to these.

This is the story of my life.

For 23 years we’ve lived in the country and loved it…. but we never had high speed internet. No streaming, lots of buffering, too many dropped connections. But this year? A miracle.

Fidium was hooked up and I can finally watch what everyone else does on something other than a 5 inch cell phone screen.

Yay!

So naturally now that I can stream? Maine is going to tax it.

The rat bastards.

Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Paramount Plus, HBO Max and Netflix. So my answer is 5… though the Amazon is free with my Prime shipping membership and the HBO comes with our Direct TV subscription.

Do you stream?

And if so, how much.

You may have to think, but hopefully that won’t hurt.

A friend of mine just saw Stevie Nicks in concert at TD Garden in Boston. 77 years old and from the videos she showed me, Stevie still brings it.

Older, yes. Slower, no doubt. But the spirit is still strong.

My goosebumps song is Crystal .

And thanks to WordPress’s annoying new feature of not being able to embed videos, here’s a link.

If you like Stevie, what song does it for you?

With turkey day right around the corner, a holiday themed question seems in order.

.

.

For me, it’s Ambrosia Salad hands down.

My late MIL loved the stuff and brought it to every family dinner, even though she was the only one who ate that monstrous combination of flavors.

How about you?

What dish isn’t welcome at your holiday table….

I know you want to.

Our pets have always been full fledged family members. And while they’re not allowed on tables, bureaus or kitchen counters… neither is my husband, so fair is fair.

They can sit or sleep on anything we can, as evidenced by the photos of Lord Dudley Mountcatten I just took this morning.

.

.

.

What can I say?

The cat knows how to relax.

.

.

Needless to say, my answer to the question is a resounding yes.

Are your pets equally as comfortable?

It won’t hurt your brain.

I promise.

As much as I enjoy my craft cocktails and beer, if I could only drink one thing it would have to be fresh brewed unsweetened iced tea with a wedge of lemon.

I don’t drink coffee, so tea is my mainstay pick me up. Lower in caffeine and full of healthy antioxidants, I love it and drink it every day regardless of the weather.

How about you?

One beverage, forever.

Go!

Because it’s Friday and that’s what we do here.

.

Unfortunately this is an easy question to answer these days as almost everything is ridiculously overpriced.

I could say owning a home – as real estate prices are astronomical.

I could say eating out – as food prices continue to skyrocket.

I could say a new cell phone – because I just checked the price on the new version of mine and it was $1,399.

But I’m going with watching television.

I’m old y’all… and remember when we only got three channels. Four if you were willing to put tin foil on your rabbit ear antennas and wiggle them into just the right position.

The plethora of choices today is overwhelming, but so is the price. We live in the country where there’s no cable and internet speed is abysmally slow. Our only real choice is satellite and they don’t give that away. Add a few premium channels to the line up and our monthly bill is almost $300.

To. Watch. Television.

Honestly I’d be happy to pull the plug and just stream the few things I watch on my phone, but my husband is old school and could never live without it. He’s a channel surfer from way back.

How about you?

What’s almost too expensive for you to bear these days…
