What are you doing right now

[Kris]

Doreen, What type of sausages, I know from here to there we have different ideas of what suasage is. Are you talking a blood sausage (eww), a traditional pork, beef, chicken  or venision (again eww) or a combination?  I know you enjoy different things there.  I have been trying to work  up my courage to try beans on toast.  I love both of these things but have not tried them together.  Isn't life funny, that we all eat different things all over the world and till we have the chance/courage to trythem we do not know what we have been missing.  Let's take calf fries, they are the testicles of a young bull.  They are sliced then, coated and deep fried and served with  dipping sauce.  I hae lived in cowboy country my whole life and have never eaten this, but they are very popular.  Tell us about one on the weird things on the UK menus.

You live there and you may be tired of it, but I will take the 32.  I do not mind the snow and ice as long as I don't have to drive in it.  That is why I keep a big stash of everthing, if I don't want to go out, I don't have to.  I know it is a strange thing to love the cold, dark and the rain.  There are many people that suffer depression in the winter, they need the sunlight for their body function correctly.  I on the other hand pray for the fall and winter. I find the long hot days of summer draining, I do get out there, I love having a vegetable garden but I tend to be out early or late.

I had an awesome DAY!!!! Some of you had heard me talk about my

friend who is terminally ill. Well she is an inspiration to all!!!  She wanted to

know if I and another friend would take her Christmas shopping. We loaded

her and her wheelchair and of we went!! She also wanted to have lunch!!

Which we did!! Laughed  and had a great day!!! Memories were made, what

a great Christmas present for me!!!  The message is enjoy every day, life is so

fragile and none of us have no guarantees.

[Kris]

@jillar did not realize you were in California.  Most people adore everything the state has to offer.  I will admit I am weird because I love the cold. In my mind I am thinking you are a tiny little thing that has a hard time staying warm.  I am now a very fluffy girl and I think my weight plays into the fact that I run warm.  I was not always fluffy but even then at a light weight I still preffered cold weather. I think is is just genetic as my family generations go way back on the east coast.

 

I would zoom you to dinner, but you know me, not a techno wizard, dont know how to zoom

Linda, I am so happy that you had a chance to spend this special time with your friend.  So much fun for a group of ladies to get out together, be silly, just like we are teenagers and cap off the day with a great lunch.  We may be older now but we still now how to have a great day!!

[jillar]

Oh @Linda, that is just what you needed! I'm really happy for you and your friends

[jillar]

Well that was gross, saw something dangling off Tiki's tail and of course I couldn't just leave it there so I pulled it off bare handed and it turned out to be a dingle ball wrapped around her hair on her tail! Lordy, I have NEVER had a cat that was such a mess with those dang dingle balls. AND she's the second cat of that breed I've had and my Dillar was never so messy

 

[Linda]

@jillar Quit playing with dingle balls

What breed of cat is she?

[Kris]

I have to say I can sympathize, two furry dogs and they will get the dingle balls. I try to stay ahead of it and I shave their butts around there.  As long as I get that done there is not problem, fall behind.  but if if don't it don't fall behind..

[jillar]

@Linda, she's a Norwegian Forest kitty

[Linda]

@jillar She's beautiful, dingle balls and all!! Reminds me, my other dog I had me not knowing

ate one of my mothers knee high nylons. I let her out to go potty and I noticed she was spinning

around acting crazy when I went out I'm like what the heck is hanging from her butt  it was the knee

high that I had to pull off !!! Yuck. I was lucky she passed it when I talked to my vet. Animals so much

fun.

[Kris]

@jillar she is beautiful, the only reason I do not own a cat is my son and I are both allergic.  @Linda, I must confess there have been times I had to pull something out of the dogs bottoms, I thiink they were my sons socks.  Since he moved out I have not had to do that.  My poor sister has a dog that she has to clean his bottom everytime he goes.  Whoever docked his tail messed up his whole back end.  Can you imagine a dog yelling "i'm done, come wipe my butt"

[jillar]

@Kris and @Linda, my Dillar the one Tiki looks like swallowed a rubber band that I saw about a quarter inch of poking out. Imagine how fun that was to pull out

[Kris]

Oh my god, was it one of the red rubber bands? I would think it might be part of an instestine or something.  I would be to afraid.  I would have spent 400 at the emergency vet just to have them laugh in my face but they would still want the money.

[jillar]

No it was a green one from the newspaper. Easily recognizable

[Kris]

Just a side note for you that missed dinner, I think I am getting my mojo back, probably the best lasagna I have cooked in ten years.  Guess that happens when your sadness takes a day off and let's you be happy in the kitchen.

[Linda]

@Kris Sorry my flight was late and I missed dinner

[Kris]

Thats okay, I knew the weather was bad.  If has forced me to watch a netflix show set in Sweden, I think, hard to keep up with the subtitles, but there is snow.
