Christmas Countdown - 2015

[xmastidings]

Decades ago, I think that's the sort of thing Comedy Central started with---they showed some 1950s TV comedies (including Steve Allen and Ernie Kovacs) and, IIRC, some vintage comedy films. But they "grew out" of that into producing their own programming.

It's a Catch-22---no one runs a channel like that because not so many people know those comedians anymore---and no one can discover them if they aren't shown for new audiences. Name recognition = marketability, and if a name drops off the pop culture radar, they're pretty much gone forever. I cringe whenever I hear "Laurel & Hardy? Who are they?" But that's the way it is today.

That's such a shame.... I miss the older tv shows and movies. You know, half the time, I get to looking thru the guide on the TV, and I say to myself, crap, crap, seen that 10 times, nope, no interest there, crap, crap and more crap. I turn the TV off and turn the laptop on.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good Morning, MMC!!!!!! We are off to a cold start here with a temp of 31 currently. We should reach 50 this afternoon though so not to bad. I have my daily chores to do today and then I'm going to work on finding some new recipes to try for Easter. I'm tired of having the same old stuff every holiday. I also need to figure out what I'm going to get my niece for her birthday so I can get it ordered. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!

Good morning Made!
I may look up some new recipes for Easter too, I really have to put a menu together soon.
Hope you find the perfect gift for your niece.
Have a great day!

Good morning. I slept in just a tad this morning, because at midnight last night, we had to drive back down to Baltimore and pick my daughter up from a birthday party for one of her close childhood friends that is home on college break. So, needless to say, after the midnight road trip, it was not till about 2am before we got to bed last night.

I just looked at the weather (if you have not noticed, but I love keeping tabs on the weather), look what's coming for the first day of spring:

More snow..... Looks like with this map, Merry, xmas, HMG, Sugar, etc... may get to see some flakes as well, Hecks far...There's plenty to go around, I'll share.....

I hope we get snow since it will probably the last time this winter!!!

We've had our quota. We broke the record for snowiest winter since 1872.

So crazy!

Glad you have yourself a little extra time to sleep in.

We are expecting snow next week, too.
Not a big surprise here =]

Have a wonderful day, friend!

Hey guys! WOW It has been awhile! And I really have missed you all and our fun conversations!
My heart is heavy and sad to report my dad passed away at 4:00 AM on Sunday night/Monday morning! 3/16/15 - honestly I still can't believe it's true! Still waiting to wake up and it's a dream! His viewing is tomorrow and his viewing/services are Thursday morning! We had family and friends over here tonight – and you would not believe the amount of food we had on our island! We could eat for two weeks! The gathering tonight was supposed to be just my family but friends kept showing up with food and gifts/memorials – they are awesome and crazy! I'm exhausted and I'm getting a terrible cold! But we will keep trucking along! My mom is such a trooper – we will lead by her example!

Hope you're all having a great week!

Oh, no. I'm so, so sorry. Bless his heart, I'm sending a prayer right now for you, your mom, and your family. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.

Turkey Taco's....Yum!!! Sounds like your being a very good boy with your eating plan.... Mt, I cannot say that I was, I was a very, very, very, bad boy tonight....

A man I am still feeling it. I feel like that hamburger that I ate 5 hours ago, is sitting in my stomach, like a brick....:-?

Believe me, a bacon, bacon burger sounds pretty good right now! cheesy

Well, St. Patrick's Day was yesterday but Carl doesn't seem to care.
Green. LOTS of it, at the 'Pines.
And the fired twinkies? Not green-frosted. Rather they are ENTIRELY green.
(Must have been lots of left over food coloring from yesterday!)
Well, let's go.
But just in case Carl still feels it's St. Patrick's Day, I suggest you wear green.
(You haven't lived until you've been pinched by a camel!)


Have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

I heard Binger says that the blend of the evening will be Green Mountain Coffee, too!

 

[Bradmac]

Good Wednesday morning, my Christmas friends!

The turkey tacos were a hit last night, but salsa fixes a lot of issues with food!

The guys who were in for the tour yesterday left after lunch...heading to Savannah, and St. Patrick's Day on River Street LOL! It's a big, throw-down party in Savannah. I used to go on years when the band got booked to play, but I would never go just to party. WOW, there are a lot of, uh, uninhibited people on River St. that night, let me tell you. If I told you all the things I've seen while playing there, your hair would stand on end! LOL

Now I have to catch up on the things I didn't do yesterday.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hey maybe Carl will have some sort of a belated St Patricks day snack tonight like corn beef or something????

I have not had that in years...I've been trying to talk the Mrs into getting some, but she says it's too expensive...I'll have to look around in BJ's, and see what their prices are!

No, not that I know of. I've been very worried-he hasn't logged on since last month.

Praying hard!

That was a very scary post by him or by anyone in general...The way his typing was and his articulation of what he was feeling at the time, did not sound good at all! Does anyone have his personal contact information, Facebook, or another source, to sort of reach out to him privately or to Brandi to check up on him?

We message here often, but I haven't gotten any responses, which is unlike him.

That is soooo strange.... Has anyone inquired to either Jeff, Mark or Maureen, etc...if they have any personal contact information from him, where they could possibly try to reach out, in a concerning/ friendly way, to make sure that everything is ok?

Good afternoon, friends~
Thinking of you all~ God bless
