TV SHOWS

Image
HELLO FOLKS SNOWFLAKE HERE ON MY FORUM I Posted an OP about how fake "reality" TV shows are. Which brought to mind, just how lame TV has gotten. HOW GRANTED - we always remember things fondly from when we were younger, with shows like All In The Family As well as the original Star Trek HECK, I even loved the Beverly Hillbillies NOW THOUGH - there is little worthwhile on TV. SO - I watch Netflix, download movies, or watch sports. My favorite shows on Netflix are: Lost in Space  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5232792/ You  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7335184/ Black Mirror https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2085059/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 The Fall  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294189/ NOW YOUR TURN! YOUR FAVORITE SHOWS from YESTERYEAR and from NOW.

Hump Day!!! 01/22/2020 C_K

Image
It's Hump Day! Is it me or does this week seem to actually be going by rather quickly? Must be due to the fact that Little Man has had speech therapy the last 2 days and will have it again today trying to make up for missing both appointments last week due to everyone being sick and because Middle Daughter has had most of the week off of school. They only go to school Thursday and Friday and I have to admit, it's nice having some help during the day! So, how's everybody doing? We are FINALLY 100% virus free! (Knock on wood!) Man it's nice to be able to actually eat solid foods again lol! Let's get to it! Let's have some fun! The hubby posted this to my FaceBook page yesterday and pondered if he was crazy enough to try it lmao! I told him if he decided he was, I'd be happy to oblige him lmao!

WINTER BLUES

Image
IS IT A REAL THING? APPARENTLY: Dark mornings, darker evenings, and chilly gray days in between mean winter is here — and with the coldest season come the winter blues. There’s no clinical diagnosis for the “winter blues,” but experts at the National Institutes of Health say the so-called  winter blues  are fairly common and are usually marked by feeling more down than usual, sad, or less energized. https://www.everydayhealth.com/depression/your-best-weapons-against-the-winter-blues.aspx SO WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT? I live in a building mostly occupied with seniors, so I go out and help them clean off their cars - and I am still working part time as a school crossing guard - so I GET OUT. I also do projects I don't have time for in better weather, updating my music collection ( I burn my own CDs and make my own music collections on flash drives ). I spend more than usual time on Blogger  But when I am on my own, I just curl up with a drink or a joint, put on some...

It's Friday!!! 01/17/2020 C_K

Howdy all! It's Friday!!! I hope everyone has been doing well this week and I deeply apologize for having gone 'missing'. It's been one hell of a week. Anyone that saw last Friday's thread read how Middle Daughter was sick and throwing up all night Thursday night, well, whatever it was that she had was HIGHLY contagious and she was sweet enough to share it with all of us. 😣 Saturday morning my stomach felt a little 'off' but I didn't think too much of it because I keep stomach acid issues and the medicine I normally take for it was pulled from the shelf to be reformulated and I've not found anything else that actually works. So we go through Saturday with everything seemingly well only to have all hell break loose around 10:30 that night. Me and Little Man went to bed as usual around 8:30-ish and I'm out like a light when I get woken up to the sound of him choking and gagging around 10:30. I jump up out of the bed, f...

Sunday Dinner

Image
SOMETHING A BIT LIGHTER for your Sunday. As I have stated in earlier threads, I have a new lady friend in my life, so I am not motivated to COOK. My Sunday dinners used to consist of whatever was fast and easy, like soup and grilled cheese, or a pasta dish, or a pizza, and on occasion, my fellow Earthlings would take pity on me and invite me over for dinner, which would consist of the usual meat and potatoes, or a fish with fries - that sort of thing. BUT I know that for many people, preparing a Sunday meal is almost like a ritual, and setting a Sunday dinner table involves a lot of preparation and ceremony. It will still be her and I tonight, not like having all the kids and inlaws over or anything like that, but I am in the process of tackling a Germany recipe NO ONE has ever made as well as my Mom used to make: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/149686/german-beef-rouladen/ OF course, my recipe will be half of that since just for the two of us, and in the past, when I h...

Friday Fun-day! 01/10/2020 C_K

It's FRIDAY!!! I'm baaaack! Spent most of the week feeling like crap, started feeling better yesterday then end up with Middle Daughter getting sick as a dog yesterday evening, does it ever end?!?! Poor girl was fine when she got home from school. Right about dinner time though she went to throwing up everywhere. Don't know if it's "sickness" or if it might be some kind of food poisoning. She was throwing up the soup she had for lunch 6 hours earlier, WTH? Had her get up at her normal time this morning just to see if she felt any better and as soon as her head lifted up, her feet hit the floor and she was making a bee line for the bathroom to ummmm, 'bow to the porcelain' again so no school for her today. Going to have to steam clean her carpet today too. At some point during the night, she got up and didn't make it to the bathroom (yay me!). Anyway, let's have some fun! I need a good laugh! Share those memes, gifs,...

Ugh... Monday Blues. 01/06/2020 C_K

Image
One thing about it, it sure is Monday! I've had Middle Daughter home for 2 weeks which has been nice having that extra help, especially with Little Man. I can't even tell you the last day that I had to do breakfast with him lol, every morning it's been him saying "sissy" and taking his banana and fruit bar over to his sister for her to help him eat breakfast lol. That went on each day until the hubby took off the last 4 days, then Little Man switched to having to eat with daddy. Even at lunch time, he'd go find daddy where ever he was and pull him into the living room, point to his daddy's chair and tell him to "sit down!" so that he could eat his lunch with daddy lol. Oh man it's been nice! All good things must come to an end though. Little Man is going to be heart broken when he wakes up and I go in to get him changed and he asks for daddy to hear the dreaded daddy's at work response 😥. I know then he'll go t...

TIME TO SETTLE THE MOST PRESSING QUESTION OF ALL TIME

Image
SIMPLY: WHO SHOULD EARN THE TITLE OF "ALL TIME BEST AMERICAN ROCK BAND"? YUP: I actually got into a debate about this over the holidays with friends, and here are the guidelines: Not a singer, it has to be a band. It has to be an "American" band. AND it has to be a rock band, but "rock" can be open to interpretation. SO: One argued it was the Eagles. Another argued it was Lynyrd Skynyrd. Yet Another argued it was The Beach Boys (suggesting you can not get MORE American than that) I argued  THERE IS I admit, an endless variety out there, depending on your taste, but for me, no one captures the uniquely American sound like CCR. Who would YOU vote for??

It's FRIDAY!!! 01/03/2020 C_K

Image
Hello all! I know I'm late in posting the Friday thread, I actually slept in an extra hour and a half this morning then got tied up reading the news this morning followed by getting Little Man ran through the shower and ready for his speech therapy this morning (which he's doing now, giving me the time to post lol). I don't know if Disqus has gotten their crap together or not on the notifications but I actually logged on to many showing 👀. Recent comments has even updated like it's supposed to. It doesn't seem that they've fixed the vote issue though, although mine seems to have leveled off with the count being 800 in the positive lol. Oh well, that's Disqus! So, anyone got any fun plans for the weekend? Looks like we will hopefully be replacing the water heater if my brother doesn't cancel on us like he did last weekend. We don't have all the tools needed nor the knowledge of how to sweat copper lines. We've got the general...

Well, It's Wednesday! 01/01/2020 C_K

Well, here we are, the first Wednesday of 2020 and the first day of a new 365 page book! I hope everyone had a great time bringing in the new year! Myself, I was in the bed at 9 lol. Although I did witness the changing of the clock from 11:59 to 12:00 thanks to my neighbor setting off fireworks that had no consideration for the fact that not everyone has the following day off 🤬. Both my husband and oldest daughter had to work today and both were awakened due to the dogs barking and the 'pops' of the fireworks (that sounded like gun shots). Of course this happened right at midnight with my husband having to get up at 3:30, yes I was ready to kick some rear! While we live in the country, we aren't isolated in the 'boonies'. It's a group of 4 houses right here, us and another one next to us on our side of the highway and 2 other houses across the highway. If I knew for sure that it was our beloved drug dealing neighbor that lives next to us and if I w...
