I know there are some folks who don't really like kitties but I also know that nobody here could POSSIBLY hurt these babies....To me this is priceless and yes, I LOVE black kitties xoxo

my friend has a beautiful black cat that is so sweet. Love this picture!

All man, when I used to put up real Christmas trees, I would have to wear a long sleeve shirt and gloves every time or else I would end up itching and scratching all night long. It was one of the reasons why we have the fake ones now......

And then, there was this one year when we cut down a live tree at a Christmas tree farm, brought it home, set it up and after it was in the house for a few hours and started heating up to room temperatures, the tree came alive.... Yes, a huge nest of spiders started to spread out everywhere's!!! I thought my wife was going to come out of her skin, yelling and running from the basement to upstairs...

That thing was so full of them, I had to take it outside and put a torch to it. Then go get another one from a different place. Yes, this is a true story.... needless to say, she wouldn't go near the tree all season; kept looking at it, the walls, the ceilings like it was going to come alive....

and I am trying to convince a cold sore not to take up residence on my lip!
yes, vitamins...I take them but am not very consistent with it even though I know they really make a difference.
hope you shake this

Thank you Christmasstar. I think the vitamins make a difference too.

That is horrifying. I don't mean to change the subject but that reminds me of a story that was on our local news station just yesterday. A woman bought a bag of potpourri at a Homegoods. She saw that pieces of it had dropped to the floor from the dish she had put it in. She sifted her hand through the potpourri and found an 8 inch strip of fresh snake skin. She believes the snake was in the bag of potpourri and is now on the loose in her house!

Good morning! Just walked the dogs, its another chilly day. And the wind makes it feel so much colder. I am a little headachey this morning. I am going to take something and lay down for a little while. Unfortunately I do have to go out today. I have some errands that I can't put off. My daughter is in a nursing program and will be graduating tomorrow night. I am going to the mall for an outfit to wear and to buy my daughter a gift. I am excited for her and so very proud. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Ugh, cold sores ... I get one a few times a year. Large doses of lysine (an OTC supplement) help to drive them away. 3,000 to 5,000 mg a day, as soon as you know one is coming on. When one gets entrenched, I'm stuck with it for a week or ten days.

Ugh!! That sounds like the nightmare version of the little story about the spider who invented Christmas tinsel by spinning her silvery threads among the branches of the tree.

Maybe I should post something that doesn't start with "ugh" ... cheesy
