I lurked and lurked through the whole dang thread,
and now that I'm caught up ... I'm going to bed.

Bonus nachos, ameegos.

Up to just over comment #400. Where are we now, I wonder.

Enjoy the jury duty tales. I have a couple.

SMFH #154: Here's something inspirational and makes me believe that there is a God...and if we are made in His image, oh my...

For some reason, I can never see TinyPics. I see all the overhead, the ads, and the "other things you might want to see" links bring up main pics, but not. the. main. pic. I. was. looking. for. Even with all the javascripple and other vulnerabilities turned on.

Whyyyyyyy?

Stepped away for a bit of paint and canvas play...

Hrothgar: thank you!

mindfulwebworker: pleased to meet you and thank you for your prayers, too.

patrick: Mrs IMG is also a nurse and worked at the children's hospital lil man is in after she graduated. Several years in the burn unit.

Bossy Conservative #46: ...Commenting at AoS is not the be all and end-all of life.

My entire life-outlook has just been altered.

Nice happiness pic.

Iron Mike Golf : Never corresponded with you, I don't think, but have followed your news, with prayers for the young'n, and glad to read you are "seeing the edge of the woods."

Milady and I are about 2/3 of the way through Call Her Savage (1932) with Clara Bow. The film is... jumpy and at times confusing, but Bow plays a good wild child, and there's plenty of pre-code raciness, in story and attire.

Probably only MP4 could relate.

Re the awtwerk: Are they dining on tacos at a Jack in the Box?

Good morning, revolutionaries. Woke up today almost totally free of the flu I caught Christmas Day. I...

*COUGH COUGH COUGH*

Oh, sorry. That'll wash right out. And, don't worry. I'm probably not contagious anymore.... probably...

So, I actually read the almost-600 comments.

Sometimes I wonder why I do it (OCD aside), but there's community news (cthu, pookysgirl, et al) I'm glad to catch.

Hard to comment when far behind, though. Like...

Golden globes... I was gonna mention that kbdabear swimwear pics provided all the golden globes we need, but someone beat me to that, sorta, with a similar reference of Sophia Loren. Ah, well, no great miss.

Enjoyed the "Gunsmoke" review.

In the "remake was better" department, there's A Christmas Carol. No, not that one. The other one. No, the other other one....

Substitute "Frankenstein" or "Dracula" in there.

And with that dreadful dump of collected "thoughts," I'm checking out for the night.

Play nice, avoid mice, and crossing the road look both ways twice.

• Clean off your desk day??? Need more like a week, at least.

• Waive the White Flag and lets start over again.

You mean weave the White Flag and lus't start over, right?

(My inner Schoolmarm is drunk tonight.)

• can't have nice things

Like webpage listicles that don't require Javascripple to be on. Too bad. I might've liked to have read the list.

• Patents that have expired.

I was a bit concerned and confused, until I realized it said patents, not parents...

• ...As if the idea was to bring us inside the music itself.

Meanwhile, their partners were picking pockets and rifling through purses...

Happy evening you Morons you!

Gee, I hate to be on-topic this late in an open thread, but in case it wasn't mentioned, the guys at Right Angle covered a similar topic last month:

Minorities Buying Guns

They all expressed similar conclusions about the kinds of folks, and type of reception, likely to be found on gun ranges.

Pete: TRUMP DOESN’T NEED THE SWOONING A-LISTERS TO FEEL VALIDATED. HE OWES THEM NOTHING.

A-Listers? Depends on which "list." :)

…Here’s another thing that’s not getting much airplay. Trump’s inauguration is shaping up to be one of the most faith-based in a very long time, with six religious figures speaking, including Franklin Graham, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, pastor Paula White and Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference.

But it’s his inclusion of Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, which really sets his inauguration apart. It’s been 30 years since a Jewish rabbi has been invited to pray during a presidential inauguration. The last one was Rabbi Alfred Gottschalk, head of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, during Ronald Reagan’s 1985 ceremony.…

Grabbed #1 for the first first in ages.

After that, there just seemed nothing left worth saying... that others weren't already saying.

So now, off to dreamland for me... with visions of strawberry cake hidden in flab aprons to haunt me.

Good night, Gracies.

If only I had time to read the post...

Wow

Can't be.

Wind has shifted to out of the South. Next five days, temperatures rising into the 40s, 50s, 60s!

Then, the wind shifts to out of the North again. Freezing and good possibility of snow (finally).

Ooooooooo-OH!klahoma... where it's winter or summer depending on whichever way the wind blows.

Cue FZ!

MH: I really do appreciate you taking the time to read my prose mindful

Hanged on every word.

At least with those neon-lime outfits, they won't be easy to lose in the snow.

Because I stopped to read the content. Only for the articles.

>> Animals can be challenging to photograph.

Anna Akana has a video about photographing her cats for a Christmas card. Involved dressing up (a/k/a humiliating) each cat, taking a pic, then the next, and composting them into one picture.
