Happy Saturday morning NMC. Just wondering, do you get days off?
Seems like you are always working, it is very admirable of you. And your work ethics are obviously far above what we see as the norm in the workplace today. Have some fun and take a moment to relax...

Thanks! My next day off is Friday but I'll be off Saturday as well so its a help. I think I will have overtime for the week ending today which is exciting. Our dm won't be happy but that means I was able to handle my boss being away and didn't need to reach out to him for help.

I can't believe the season is almost here. I will try to stay up to welcome the season but can't guarantee I will be able to keep my eyes open.

Good evening MMC community. Obviously there are many, many members getting ready for this event. Unfortunately, I will be departing for work here in the next hour and a half. But have a great time everyone and I'll check back with you all in the AM.
Good Night & Pleasant Dreams...

Have a great night; thanks for taking a moment to introduce yourself - I have a feeling you've already hung your stocking on the mantel

Hey!! Carl just joined us and wants to thank everyone for patronizing the Shispering Pines this year.
He says next year will be even bigger and better with lots of new entertainment and......experiments.
(Experiments??)

I may have to kick up some Darlene on Youtube before the end of the night!

Watching Christmas movies that aren't entertaining me. The Home Alone target audience must have been people who enjoyed the coyote chasing the road runner around the Bugs Bunny set. Violence. I watch it for the festive lights, huge Christmas trees and store displays.

Four Christmases is on now - not crazy about it.

Yeah, but his eyes are closed. He's only half paying attention to what's about to happen.

Crown 84 · Nov 12, 2016

I watch Home Alone every year but mainly for the music and the scenes with Kevin and the old man.
The slapstick part never particularly appealed to me, either.

Oh that's somewhat troubling! But I can't stay away.

Just how old is O'Malley now, Auntie?
(Our cat "Ripley" just turned 17 last month. She's deaf but still gets around OK. We lost our dog, "Fox" back in May at age 14.)

@Crown 84, I just looked at the Blossoms thread for the first time on a computer. Many photos were sideways for me, too. They appear right on my phone. That's strange!
