Half crack coffee with s'mores syrup and hand whipped cream And for those who don't know what half crack coffee is, I mix Cafe bustelo with black silk in equal parts.
"Stop with the fucking history lessons about what the Israelites did, or what the Ottomans did, or what the British did, or whatever. IT IS FUCKING IMMATERIAL. There is a pile of dog shit in the living room. Instead of arguing about whose…
BF: DIL is a psychopath HT: my dad came down to visit for the holiday FBF: DIL pitched a scene right as we were about to make our plates and eat and caused my dad to leave. He hit the road early and wound up sleep in in his car..... AND sh…
My younger son and I just a few weeks ago got the most recent booster as well as the flu shots and I even got the first of the two shingles vaccines and neither of us have gotten sick this whole entire pandemic haven't kept up with all of…
I have a few dear friends in Ukraine and as soon as Russia destroys something the people are immediately busying themselves at rebuilding what was destroyed. I have never seen a people with a better ethic than they. I can only wish that th…
To actually have a fair election that is a true indication of the will of the people, the people off fighting and the people that have been displaced need to be able to vote. They absolutely cannot take money out of the military budget to…
If even I can LEARN how to play, a person that willfully doesn't EARNS side-eye from me. I YEARN for the past when even here there was flirtitude, but that was YEARS gone by it seems. Many of you are such DEARS to me, always welcoming, wit…
You are referring to the conflict in 2014 where there were Russian backed "separatists" that took over government buildings, etc and fighting ensued and about 50,000 Russian "volunteers" were involved. Yes, there were civilian casualties d…
No, I am referring the the Bucha massacre where the invading Russian soldiers tortured and killed civilians, including children, occurring just a few months ago. I am referring to schools and hospitals and apartment buildings being specifi…
Thank you mayhem for making the point I was about to chime in with: Covid ILLNESS is far more damaging to the heart than Covid vaccines are. The uptick people keep referring to did, in fact, stsrt before the vaccine became available and en…
BF- Kibby's younger kiddo, Bittybits (Littlebits is out on their own with a spouse and baby now) has had a mystery pain in their leg off and on for a year now. We finally figured out what it was and it wound up being a big-ish deal, but we…

It is incredulous to me that people sitting in the comfort and safety of their homes think they know more about a country across the world away from them that is being brutally attacked and invaded that the very people that are giving firs…
A couple of weeks ago I lost my dearest friend throughout my entire adulthood. She had fought and best cancer a couple of times already, but her lungs and kidneys failed. I miss her so much. And she was the rock of her family.
I have two lady friends in Kyiv. One left Ukraine last year for a few months, but ultimately returned because she missed her home even though she was grateful for the Danish friends that took her and her dogs in. Her neighbors' home was bo…
A schoolmate of mine passed the other day. Funny enough, ai was instrumental in his marriage. Another school mate (female) had just come out of a bad relationship and he had asked her out, she was worried about him getting the wrong idea b…
I am appalled at the smug audacity that people here in the US act and talk like the invasion of Ukraine and their trying to protect themselves is all some ploy to affect the US in some way. We, along with other nations, ARE trying to help…
CHIME in anytime, darlin, A. D. D. or not. It would be a CRIME not to. CREAM of the crop contributors have REAMS of offerings. The REALM of imagination beacons.
My juvenile child and I got our boosters a couple weeks ago, as well as flu shots. Kids are getting hit HARD recently with a combo of flu, RSV, and Covid. My
My tripawed is a cat killer, and he is an asshole, but I love him and I do not take unnecessary risks. He is part Dane (big head) part pitty, part coonhound (prey-driven), part sharpie (stubborn AF) so far as people go, my most docile lovi…
I have three friends in Ukraine. All in Kyiv area. I worry about their safely because there is no respect for civilian life by their invaders. One, took her competition dogs, fled to Poland to a shelter, then on to one of the Skandanavian…
Y'all cut a wide path allowing misogyny. I do hope it was merely unfortunate wording. But we need to be more intentional, not aligning with that sort of garbage. I try to be better than that, and I really hope that all y'all do, too.
In honor of HRM Queen Elizabeth, may she rest in peace, and in solidarity with our friends in Ukraine, I am enjoying a martini made with Shinok vodka from Ukraine... Extra dirty/extra olives. I had heard she enjoyed a martini each evening.
God bless Queen Bess. I admit I have been crying. A tribute to her on ABC news tonight had her speech as a child as WWII was coming to a close and her recent speech rallying Britain through the Pandemic. It was poignant. She gave her entir…
My little grand princess turned one a couple of weeks ago. My momma, Mrs. Bits, came down for the occasion (I am "Ms. Bits") First time I have gotten to see her in almost 3 years.
Sending love out into the universe for NJ and Chez. As to Sed, liked her OK at first, but then she got kinda hateful. Targeted myself and a few others. Not cool, especially since at least with me it was unprovoked.
I cannot believe I just lost the last 20 minutes of my life reading the wingnut garbage I just read. And Mr. VA, you always make me hot when you get all science-y. {melt}
Mine, as many know.if rhey've been herr a while., was an ongoing joke between my sister and I. Her fist hubby threatened to leave, she cheerfully invited him to do just that saying "you go right ahead I'm like Kibblesnbit ALL the dogs in t…

I have always been one who PANTS for more when someone would PAINT such a lovely vision of what is to come. Not a fan of the INEPT, who follow a dull PRINT out plan. TRAIN for a marathon and be prapared for RAINS. ;-`

This moderate is over the shenanigans. Too much of the BF and HT threads were taken up with weather, I created a weather thread a long time ago. The politics thread serves the same purpose. Most of us would rather not see an incessant tira…
I like to GLEAN information to make a good run. My taste LEANS to the absurd,which LANDS me in some fun positions. I crave warm SANDS, distant LANDS, and trying different LANES
