D-League

[Girthang]

Good morning D-League!

It's cool out there, but no snow or ice to contend with today. Hoping to get lots of stuff done now that the ladies are off to school and work. Made a light, but hearty oatmeal breakfast for them this morning. Tomorrow will be Swedish pancakes from a friend's family recipe. I'm getting better at making them now, and my daughter loves them. Used to be a cheap meal until eggs went crazy high.

Have a great MIL now. Started out our relationship rocky, but it was rocky for my sweetheart as well, so... She's been very appreciative of my work and efforts to take care of her, and I've always been glad to help her and her husband any way I can.

Ex-MIL is a sweet lady. I helped her and her mother after her daughter and I divorced. I only see her occasionally as the divorce wasn't really amicable and her daughter prefers I not talk to her mom.

Had 2 exes whose mothers were pagan, and I'm not kidding at all. One had a statue of nearly every chief, false god you could name. First time I met her she raised red flags and I found out why the first time I entered her house.

The ex I dated 2 years before that one was into the occult. Had a ouija board and was into taro, auras, and all that stuff. She did NOT like me being in her house. Had the wrong kind of strong aura and thought I was judging her before I knew anything about her.

Both relationships, needless to say, didn't last long after that. It really explained a LOT about those 2 exes. No idea what happened to make the one I divorced so unlike her mother. Still a mystery

For all that handwriting about NIL and the "horrible effect it would have on our 2023 class," Kentucky Football closed out STRONG. Very satisfying to see people have to eat their words. I just wish they'd stop being so doom and gloom every year in the first place. Oh well....

Have a wonderful day, D-LEAGUE! May the road rise up to meet you and all that!

Was dessert at our house growing up. Haven’t had that in awhile.

Me neither. Been well over 35 years since I had it.

My MIL from my first marriage was great, it is just her daughter (my ex) who was not. She was caught cheating with the fiancée of a woman who let me know and that is why we got a divorce. However, that was not the only one she was seeing. I was a DI then. After the divorce she wanted to get re-married, and I said: NO! Probably the way I said it pissed her off and things went south from there. She married one of her flings (which did not last) but continued to harass me by finding out who I was dating at the time, get in contact, and then tell them what a bad a guy I was. 3 occasions when I called these ladies about when we were going to go out again, they simply said it would not be a good idea. Then I would ask why, and they would say they talked to my ex and found out what kind of guy I was. That told me all I needed to know about them and I would not pursue them again.

You and I had parallel experiences. Nailed it to a T. Lol. I have a buddy who had the same exact experience. There are a lot of them out there, it seems, and a lot that trust them for their info. Lmao!

After my first marriage ended, a woman pursued me that was quite beautiful. Acted like she knew me, but I know we hadn't met before. I was interested at first, but something about her was just OFF. We went out ONCE and that was enough... She was a piece of work. I RAN...

Found out later she was friends with me ex-wife. Case closed. Apocalypse averted

Good Thursday Morning D

Another beautiful day ahead, weather wise, 60° and the high will be 79° around 3:00 PM with plenty of sunshine. Rain chance 2%.

Speaking of mother in laws, I had a great relationship with mine. She lived to be 97 and not one cross word was ever spoken between us. None. She was a Christian woman who gave birth to 10 kids and came from a family of 16. They had large farms and were independent, hard working Kentuckians.

They said 6 more weeks of winter on the TV. 25% of Travis County, TX still does not have power. COLD. I sure feel for all of those stuck in the mess. You are better folks than me because I have to have warm weather and be close to the coast. Sun and fun is my motto.

I had a good workout yesterday and my bones are a little sore. My left shoulder needs lots of work as it is still very weak but exercise and some moderate weight training should get me where I want to be.

Take care all,

Being the new guy here I've been on my bestest behavior. You may soon find a time when you want to erase the last 4 words above.

For anyone who wants to go back and find the last bear...follow the right tree up on the right side to the top of the picture. That's my treestand with a burlap cover. At the very top you can see my .shooting rail (horizontal bar) and above it you can see part of the cub. He's in my stand and no doubt chewing up a cushion or causing other problems.

Was going to ask about that spot in the picture but the light/contrast threw me off.

Guess it was better getting that cushion chewed by a cub than getting your @ss chewed by mommabear.

 

[Girthang]

I thought you might like hot peppers. Some of the hotest foods I have consumed has been Asian food. When a Chinese restaurant says hot on the menu, believe it. It will clear your sinuses. And that is good.

I love the heat.

I miss the Chinese restaurant we used to go to when I was very young. They had a hot mustard that would stare your summer allergies down and break them. Clear you OUT and that clearing would last through the summer. Totally amazed me and my family. A little of that mustard on some fried won tons and breathe out through your nose.... FIRE, then the clearing for 10-15 minutes, and then (still FIRE but) I could breathe again.

Unfortunately the restaurant had a rough time of it in the 70s and 80s with the proliferation of fast food and shut down. Haven't been able to find a mustard or food like that since.

The closest thing to that in terms of beneficial effects was an authentic Vietnamese dish I had 10-15 years later. Had fresh mint and vegetables in it. Like a slaw, but had some heat. Wish I knew what it was and how to make it now. Either of them actually

 

[Girthang]

Gotta get back to it. Have a GREAT day!

 

[UK82]

Damn. 6 more weeks of Winter. That bastard most always sees his shadow.

That's what I am talking about. Bring on the hot mustard and clear out the sinuses. Then walk out to the pier and breathe that Gulf air. Horse radish does it for me too.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Was dessert at our house growing up. Haven’t had that in awhile.

It has always been a staple for holiday meals. Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas. I had some on New Years Day watching football.

The old timers would do it right. My mother, grandmothers, and aunts all made it from scratch and served it often.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 28° and partly cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring overcast skies and a high of 40°.

Have a great Thursday.

Loves some properly used horse radish Sir... Just edible...

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone.

We received an inch or two of snow this morning here in the mountains. We have been blessed this winter with several minor snowfalls that don't stick around long. This is a previous year, but if the sun pops out later it will be our view this afternoon.

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Welcome to Thursday D-Leaguer. It is another cloudy and cold day here. 33.1°F up from 31° earlier. We are supposed to top out at 41. I hope we can handle such heat! Plus we are supposed to see the sun tomorrow. I don't know if I believe the forecast.

I can't handle hot foods. I like a mild jalapeno pepper and normal chilis; however, when the heat gets turned up I will not partake. My son loves the hot stuff and grows them in his back yard. Of course he is crazy!

 

[Catman100]

Morning folk.

Groundhog screwed us again.

Have had what seemed like a common cold for 2 days.
Wife gave me a covid test and I tested positive for Covid, WTF?

Just common cold symptoms:
little cough
little sneezing
runny nose
itchy eyes
congestion

And now that is Covid? Has to be a false positive right?
GRRRRR

Ate some chow chow that had that burning rush effect....

 

[BBUK]

Remember these?

I rarely chew gum but I was given a piece of BAZOOKA bubble gum, complete with the below. Chewing hard now...

I haven't used the code.... feel free...

Bubble gum was a big part of my childhood. I don't think I have seen a kid blow a bubble in decades. Do they still do that. Major leaguers use to do it in the outfield.

My favorite go to bubble gum was Topps baseball cards. For 1 penny you would get a nice baseball card and a slice of dry bubble gum. Pop it in your mouth and start blowing bubbles. To be honest I bought Topps for the baseball card. If I wanted some real good bubble gum I would pick up a few Bazooka Joes.

At Sam's Club for the win!!!

Will look into that! Thank you

Over the last several years, I'm finding that when I lay down in the tub that it takes more & more water to cover my gut. No idea why.

My youngest Nieces birthday as well... (I think she is well into her forty's now..teetering on her 50's.)

My buddy's ex-wife's birthday. We tied one on a couple times to celebrate his escape on her bday

Good morning from ATX. Currently 35°F and clear. Slight wind out of the NW. Today's high may reach 49°F.

Austin suffered considerable damage from this winter storm. Many down trees, branches and other debris affected houses and other properties. While not as bad as, say, low-intensity hurricane damage, we've still got a mess around our neighborhood and beyond. Again, we've lucked out so far. I've noticed only a few small fallen branches needing clean-up in our yard. Others yards/businesses really got hammered.

As of this morning, local news reports 126,000 Austin residents without power.

Happy Friday, y'all!

Wishing everyone a fun, safe and prosperous day.

Glad to hear God had you through all of that, @AustinTXCat !!

Good morning D-League!

We're steady at 25° with a stiff breeze on our way up to... dang, down to 22° before we get back up to a high of 27°? Who does that?

It's a great day that HE has made! May God continue to bless the D-League!

Heading inside. Have a great day.

Good Morning D League

Thursday has brought us a current temperature of 69° and the high will reach 71° at 9:00 AM. The temperature will start dropping after 11:00AM. We have a 90% chance of heavy thunderstorms and clouds will drop us to 56° by this evening. The temperature will drop overnight into the 40's. Winter is here.


They had a nice special update on TV last evening about Austin, TX and the ice storm. Some of the video sure back up what Austin said, they got hammered. Ice can mess things up in a hurry.

Headed to the gym this morning to work on my legs and calves. Then a good cardiac workout. Trust all are well. Bring me some sunshine.

 

[warrior-cat]

I was imitating

I was imitating James Earl Jones from movie "Gardens of Stone" the other day (Make a hole and make it wide) to get by my daughter and she said: "Dad, that sounded like Mustafa from the Lion King" That's when I told her that was from a movie from the same man who voiced Mustafa.

Must have been a good imitation.

I should have known how bad it would be with my ex when her father met us after the second or third date outside of her apartment when we returned with a shot gun pointed at my chest. She was 19 I was 23 and he did not know me and told me to hit the road. I did but later came back. Mistake.

Monthly bloating?

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Sitting in the lobby of a clinic waiting for an 8am physical therapy session. Here’s an irony: My hip is doing so well I started a little light jogging and extended walks —which aggravated my bum left knee.

My wife, who had been thrilled at my limp vanishing said last night, “you are limping again!” I said, “look closer. It’s not my right side it’s my left knee.” She just shook her head.

Windy as heck this morning. Had to chase down my garbage cans.

Hope you all have a good day.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 25° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. The afternoon will bring a mix of clouds and sun and a high of 28°. A few flurries or snow showers are possible.

Have a great day.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning, D, Read Hebrews 7 this morning.

It's 21 degrees here in the icy Berg, wind chill of 9 degrees! I got up at 4:30 this morning with the bright idea of going out to try and find the Green Comet, bad idea, looked around for a hot second, back in the house!!!! These comets need to come by when it's not so cold!!!! The first comet I remember seeing and really watching was Comet Bennett, our last day in basic training at Fort Knox, we watched it all night long, got the last look at it just before the sun came up, will never forget it, oh basic training to!!!!

I have really been busy working on my stained-glass projects, I have sold three more USAF Emblems, I have sold two to one of our best friends, she has a son who is stationed in Japan, and she wants one for her husband who was in the USAF, I am HONORED to make anything related to our MILITARY OR FIRST RESPONDERS!!!! Today I am supposed to take my stained-glass to a small shop here in Central City called the Apple House, my good friend wanted me to put it in her shop so she can showcase it, she told me I better get ready to get busy, I told her I am retired I don't want to get busy!!!! Got a new project on the table now, if I can put it together it will be interesting
of all things, it involves using a barrel swivel!!!!

I've noticed some of the D saying they are from the mountains, anywhere close to Nelson County? I have a story about someone there.

I hope the D has a great day and prayers for the D!!!! ATX stay safe!!!!
