I don't mind the stuff under the right circumstances -- and my wife really likes it and it gets her into the Holiday Spirit in a major way -- and definitely alcoholic. She's Irish.
I enjoy the festive spirit so Ky Bourbon. I like it plain too. I just like it. We got some this weekend and will keep it around until 2023. Not the same bottle but when we run out it will be replenished. Ah, so good.
But remember I am a strange bird. I had a mess of fried chicken livers tonight for supper. And a bunch of green beans with ham pieces. Strange bird
ME!!! Yes to the RUM!!! A heckuv a drink. I use the 100 proof rum. (Doesn't take as much to get where I want to go...) Now ask me how long it's been since I had one... (Heck may be a resolution...
)
Sir, I did not see your post! 😍 (Until now...)
Circumstance??? Heck, waking up might be enough of a "circumstance"... 😁
This will change your mind about eggnog. They sell it at Fresh Market in a tub of ice.

Doesn't change my mind. I'd drink it anywho....
MAN I cannot STAND looking for a phone! Let me try Walmart.com, Amazon, heck, ebay!
BB, I have a Velvet via T Mobile also. Not quite two years. Close out special though I didn’t know LG was going out of phone business till several months later. Never have really liked it. Also too long for good pocket fit.
DW, DS, and somewhat techie good friend all have Pixel 6 and are happy with them. Little smaller than Velvet, but new Pixel 7 is a bit smaller still. Leaning to 7 when I get fed up enough with Velvet.

The latest fad for that last minute Christmas gift.

That stuff'll kill you.... need some cleanser...add some 100 proof cleanser....
I don't like regular milk. I drink skim only. Occasionally 2% if nothing else is available but, whole milk is too thick for me so, Eggnog is a no go, too rich.
But of course.Did you drink it?
Good morning from ATX. Currently 47°F and foggy. Today's high may reach 53°F. Meh, we'll take it.
Huge spate of US mail robbery happening around ATX. Thieves stealing checks, packages, gift cards, you name it. Crazy.
Seems like UK football heading in right direction. What about basketball?
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

We go to the Columbia Restaurant often. (oldest and probably largest Spanish Restuarant in America) and they make it right at your table and serve it in a Sangria pitcher
Ingredients
- 1 orange
- 1 lime 1
- 375 ml bottle of Sangre de Toro wine (or any other red Rioja wine)
- 1 ounce Torres 5 brandy (or substitute any Spanish brandy)
- Splash of lemon-lime soda
- Cherries for garnish
- Simple Syrup Recipe
- To make simple syrup, combine one part water to one part sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Chill before use.
Good Morning
57° with winds NE at 6 mph, sun is peaking out and will soon rise. We have clear skies now but the clouds will roll in off of the Gulf and by this afternoon we have a 77% chance of rain. Probably an inch and a half or two inches. Not much. Our high will peak at 66° .
I talked to the folks in Kentucky and they are bracing for some cold weather up there. May get below zero by Christmas. That should be against the law. I am much too soft for weather like that and no way I could make it from day to day living like that. Mercy be.
I trust all are well and staying warm. And if you heat your house with fossil fuels I hope your budget covers the bill. Folks way up North especially. They voted for this mess so I guess things happen that way.
My wife loves that kind of weather. My Blue Kentucky Girl

Good morning D-League. Getting colder in the east. And we’re into the year’s darkest days. Would be gloomy except there are lots of Christmas lights around my neighborhood.
I’ve resumed my morning walks. Just a mile for now, but I feel I can do more soon.
Beautiful sliver of moon this morning as the first light of day appears over our woods. Very serene.
Hope you all have a great day.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!! Great to hear MdW....
Heading inside now...All have a great day!
Great news, you are on your feet. One mile at a time.
Pretty fast recovery. When can your wife start back or has she already?
Speaking of dark days, I believe tomorrow is supposed to be the shortest day of the year (winter solstice) so, days will start to slowly lighten back up.
Thanks for asking after me BB, Sawnee and Warrior.
I’ve been surprised by how good I feel. My physical therapist took me out for a walk yesterday so I figured if she thought it was okay, then I was good to go. Got more than 3,000 steps in this morning. No significant swelling. I do have bruising on my hip but I’m told by the PT that’s normal and not to worry.
Things just went right for me I guess, at least so far. Blessed.
My wife is back to work with that “boot” she has to wear. She may be in more discomfort overall than I am, but she’s getting around fine.
The past week has played out better than I thought it would.

Morning Legionnaires!
39° this morning with moderate winds. Intermittent clouds and sunshine today with a high in the low 40's expected.
Feeling a little stiff this morning so extra stretching before the workout coming.
Wife giving me a honey do list this morning, so I am headed out to the local ACE to pick up a new bathtub spout with shower diverter for daughter's bathroom and a few other items she wants. Daughter's shower has a now nonfunctional diverter. Apparently been that way for a few months so she only takes baths and wants to take showers. I ask my wife why they had not told me before and she said they thought it would be too hard to replace and would just wait until something else happened to the system and just replace it all at once. Now that one of my sons (daughter's half-brother) is coming for a few days on Christmas day, they want it fixed because he will be using her bathroom.
You guys be careful out there today (I am looking at you @MdWIldcat55) and God Bless.

I posted the other day about a wreck I had years ago and the casts and etc. Shortly after the first surgery and while still in the hospital, the weekend came up. They started coming in the room a couple of times a day and making me walk up and down the hallway on crutches with someone beside me. It was so much work that I'd be sweating when they let me go back to bed. When the surgeon found out, he went ballistic. His instructions had been I was only to get out of bed long enough to go to the bathroom and someone was to help me get there.
You are doing wonderful. Full recovery is soon. I had great progress on both my hip and knee. The docs are good at replacements, but it is still a brutal job. They stretch connective tissue to it limit.
It is a warmer 35°F this morning, an improvement over yesterday. We are supposed to top out at 48°F. Thursday it is supposed to get to minus one.
Did you say -1 ?
55, just don't push yet, I know, I thought hey I feel great, walk to much to soon, set me back a little, build up gradually!!!
They are saying -4 for us here in the ice Berg!!!!
Negative 3 here for Thursday and 1-3 inches of snow. Only 8 degrees for a high on Friday with winds at 25-30 mph. Wind chill expected to be 10-15 below 0. Could be much worse. Parts of the mid-west and north snow accumulation will be measured in feet not inches.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 28° and mostly cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon's forecast will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 43°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
Before the season slips away, wanted to say "Merry Christmas From the Fam-o-lee"
This Robert Earl Keen classic reminds me of my adolescence.
Now, my parents were upright Christian folk - no drinking, smoking, cussing - and our Christmases were right out of Norman Rockwell.
BUT -- my best friend was the youngest of a large family who had relocated from Greenup County and they were a crazy bunch. He had two older brothers who were into every sort of reckless behavior by the time we were about 14, and two older sisters who were "wild as grass," as my mother put it.
So Christmas at their house was a hell of a lot more colorful and funny for a kid. This song captures some of the spirit.

For Thursday it was projected at -1°F and they have now updated it to -2°F. Friday is a low of 5°F and a high of 11°.

The good news is that I have a nice well insulated house with natural gas heat, except for the guest bed and bath (all electric). But this part of Kentucky usually gets single digit temps nearly every year.
Merry Christmas back to you and your family.
My folks were like yours except the smoking. My dad was a Baptist Deacon and my mom was a converted Methodist (she was more fundamental than dad). My dad's worst word was gosh-dall-it. I don't know what that means but dad would not say darn, much less damn.
My dad's brothers were totally different.
