@ holly,, I think Bat-shit crazy.
Takes one to know one,, I think the same about him.

I've been trying to get him to get his siblings to send me info about their lives /family.
Want to update our family tree.
Really am hoping to get health issues put in the family tree.

I realize some may be ashamed to admit their offspring aren't perfect.

Being perfect is a hold over from way we were raised in the 40s -50s?

I have a pair of shoes. No boots. No trainers. Just a pair of shoes.

I also have a pair of special non-slip shoes for work so that I won't take a flyer on slippery floors. But those don't count.

In the olden days, when we were all much younger and I was still cube farming, I had a closet full of shoes in all styles and colors. And trainers. And sandals and whatever all other footwear.

But now? I have a pair of shoes.

I don’t know what trainers are. I have 2 pairs of shoes, one pair of boots, a pair of very old slippers. I have never understood why anyone needs a lot of different shoes. But I do have a lot of socks. When you are diabetic a lot of socks are necessary.

trainers.. I think you might call them sneakers...like adidas, or sketchers, or Nike...
 
Ok... well! That was a little too much excitement!

Was down at bedroom-end of house, heard a thump/pop sound, like something fell over. Figured it was something outside. Next minute, son is saying, "Mom, the glass on the oven door exploded" and I go down to the kitchen. Sure enough entire pane of glass is now in teeny-tiny fragments (mainly at the base of the oven but also small pieces and shards had skittered across the tile floor). Two of us sweeping, then vacuuming grout, then re-vacuuming the whole thing. Then second son came in with flashlight and we turned off the kitchen light, scouring for pieces we missed. Mopping to commence momentarily.

No, no one had slammed the door or done anything else. It just shattered. =/

So I guess "replacing the stove" just moved up in priority! Yikes.

That happened to our sliding glass balcony door, years ago. It suddenly shattered into little pieces .. not shards. Good thing it wasn't winter.
 
Not going anywhere.. for the 5th day in a row, it's torrential rain...

this is something that has happened here in the Uk with certain models of stoves.. so do some research about your model or any other that has a propensity to explode... just imagine if you'd been in front of the stove at the time it exploded..
 
Not a stove but the gas fireplance. We had the yearly tune up and were advised that the glass has some minor glazing and were advised to replace.

Almost fainted at the quote for a piece of glass.....$817.00 installed and the glass is on back order.....maybe by spring, I hope not.
 
It is a foggy morning here this morning...I have several things I need to do in the next day or so...one is change my medicare supplement plan, if I can ever get through to an agent, then I need to go to Costco to pick up one of my hearing aids that is being repaired.
I hope everyone has a good week.
 
I will be going to our Voting Place in town and helping with the set up to get ready for tomorrow's election. Then, coffee and out to lunch with friends. Tomorrow I will be working from 5:30 am until 9:30 pm at the polls. It will be a very long day, but well worth the time and effort to help secure our democracy.
I'm proud to be an American!
 
Yesterday, we had our first taste of sNOw with high winds…..first sNOw, we had a power outage from 6 to 8 last nite…..really 😩😩😩.
High winds from the west, Saturday through the nite, dumped a bid pile of leaves on my cement patio, from up and over the garage roof.
So…..today I will rake up the leaves through the snow and bag them up.
I will spend some time downstairs, going through stuff, stuff just not worth anything to sell and not wanted by anyone……ready for garbage day tomorrow and for recycle day on Wednesday.
I’m to the point, that’s what needs to be done now……thinking that will help my “ welcome to WINTER MOOD. “

Just now saw two Blue Jays with their peanuts in a shell go under the deck to build their stash of peanuts……this time of year, Micki makes several searches under the deck, getting their peanuts, she eats shell and all…..must be kind of scratchy coming out the other end.

That’s my excitement for the day.7D8C3005-ED43-40A5-B956-0AF70C87FC69.jpeg

@hollydolly the glass was a replacement pane after a previous debacle when a well-intentioned male attempted to 'fix' something on the oven door--naming no names :rolleyes:

Good grief, @Right Now, they don't have enough poll workers to break it up into shifts? That is a long time! But kudos to you for being a positive part of the process

Idk why you would need it 😂. It just said that it has a large collection of British films and shows and is a popular service in Britain. Maybe because it’s all in one spot. I can’t get it through Comcast, I have to get it through Amazon.

I do get some British shows on PBS. I like British actors as they are more “real” people instead of being, hmm, picked for their perfect looks and then heavily made up to look even better. Looking like “real” everyday people adds to the reality of the tv show, IMO.

I have worked in TV most of my adult life..My husband still does.. and I have only ever heard of Brtitbox on this forum...lol.. hardly popular.. never heard of Comcast and PBS is a very minor channel on our TV

yes totally agree about our Actors looking more like normal people..rather than mannequins.. and we tend to want people to concentrate on the storyline and the plot instead of the hairstyle and the fixed plastic smile..

Somehow, my kitchen is piled high with dirty dishes. Since I have not been home for most of the weekend, I have to assume that Andy has been entertaining his friends here, while I was out!
emoticon
So my first job of the day will be to wash dishes. Hopefully, I'll be done before it's time for bed!

Speaking of Andy...he just showed up and is waiting for his morning "all over body massage"!

Well, I can't keep him waiting! Have a good day!

Had a deal on turkeys so, picked up 4 of them yesterday morning. Thawed one and cooked it last night, then, put it in the fridge. This morning, I sliced it up and we put up all the meat and started thawing the 2nd one. Our fur babies will be happy chowing down on the turkey. :) They told mama that they're getting tired of pasta, pork, and angus beef. ❤️ Me... peanut butter and jelly, or baloney samiches. (maybe sometime, I'll get some of their food). ;)
Back to my day. After the turkey deal, I changed the fuel filter on wife's camaro, harvested another bucket of Rosella, (can't wait to make Jam). :) and harvested the last of my pumpkins.

Your dogs eat so well! Be careful they don't start to gobble instead of barking pretty soon. :D
