All of your flower posts are beautiful, this one looks so elegant!. Thank you, I love flowers.
Thank you. My contribution to all the crap news is something for our souls 😀
Much appreciated
❤
It seems to be just what I need. Thanks.
Thank you very much for picking up my slack. It’s more than I can do right now.
Hope all is well and Mom, too ! ❤
We don’t want to add to your stress level or invade your privacy, but if you could just pop in and say hello every once in awhile so we know you’re OK, that would be much appreciated. When someone here went off the radar screen for awhile, we became very aware of how easily one of us could just disappear. And we worry.
I love the birds of paradise.
My mother loved these exotic birds of paradise. She had am arrangement in her home that was stunning. Thanks for this photo. The flowers you’ve posted this week have made me smile. Very much needed. 💕
I planted 4 birds of paradise after hurricane Matthew destroyed much of my landscaping. I’m a bit north for tropical plants, they can be finicky. It takes years for a bird of paradise to bloom and sometimes in my area they don’t, but they stay green all year so there’s that.
One of the bright spots of 2020 was that all 4 of my birds of paradise bloomed. The blooms last a long time too, or at least mine did. For 6 weeks or more pristine blooms, then they slowly faded away. My next door neighbor used to own a nursery and a landscape business. He has two birds of paradise planted a year before mine, but his didn’t bloom. Given his medical condition, I really hope they bloom this year so he can see and enjoy them. Anyway, my neighbor was the only one around here as excited as I was about my bird of paradise blooms😉
How wonderful to have the real thing right there where you live! My mother would’ve moved in for the duration, but you would’ve loved her. Everyone did. 💗
❤
The only thing I miss about Southern California are my Bird of Paradise bushes, Poinsettas that grew to tree size and Bougainvillea. It was a difficult trade off to get my 4 seasons back 🙂
Oh my goodness poinsettias the size of trees. Where I am we get freezes annually, some years are colder than others. We might only dip to the freezing mark a couple of nights or we might dip into the upper 20’s a few nights or maybe have a solid week of nightly freezes, you just don’t know.
However, the beaches in our area rarely get freezes. It’s amazing how a couple of miles makes such a big difference. All of our beaches are basically islands with the ocean on the east side and the intracoastal on the west, then various inlets, sounds, bays or river to the north or south. All that water protects them and they hit the freeze mark maybe once a decade give or take a couple years. So you can grow all the tropical stuff at the beaches. Where I am we refer to that area as the island, meaning Amelia Island. Down in JAX, they refer to the beaches as the other side of the ditch, the “ditch” being the intracoastal 🙄
I will never forget when we lived on Amelia Island, there was this huge green bush in the yard. We moved into the house in August. Hubby and I both wondered what in the hell is this big bush? We figured it out as we moved into mid December. It was a poinsettia, a huge one, probably 10 to 12 feet tall and almost as wide. Lots of people have huge poinsettias in their yards, but once you cross the intracoastal your going to get freezes. You can still grow tropicals, but you have to go out and protect them when the mercury dips. If a freeze kills something in my yard, then that plant simply wasn’t meant to be😉
Ha ha GTMA. I LOVED the bougainvillea around my old house. it’s probably why I adored Sardinia so much last summer–it’s like Southern California (bougainvillea everywhere) without the bullshit.
I used to have a bunch of them planted in front and back of my house in LA. That is one of the only things I miss about living there.
I agree!! Thank you. ❤
Oh My, lol !
❤ Hi, Potato Ma'am!
I feel bad for any trans woman that isn’t formerly Bruce Jenner. Woof. But even Bruce had plastic surgery to make him even more pretty. 🙂
When Dustin Hoffman did “Tootsie”, he was surprised he was what he considered a homely woman.
LOLOL!!
Geesh, Joe………..
I’m not a fan of hypocritical government officials, but neither am I interested in hearing KH hector the president like she’s an overzealous clerk at the Walmart.
Not exactly the Trump / Pence relationship, is it?
😀
Biden is already bombing Syria in the middle of a global pandemic. I hope it’s a miscalculation that leads to massive war. I want it all fucked up all the time.
Paul Joseph Watson is on it. Thank goodness for Gab so I can find him……

#MeToo
It’s like removing a bandage. It has to come off. Do you take your time and slowly lift it off, or do you give it one quick pull and tear it off? I’m in the do it fast and get it over with camp.
Yep! fast and done, Cry later. 😆
THIS. Democrats just floated an idea to broaden the war powers to outside the commander in chief, and then they pull this the very next week?
Maybe they thought no one would notice.
With good reason they thought they could do what ever they wanted. What a shit show.
Amy, Amy, Amy . . .
I hope her soul gets eaten quickly.
I don’t know. I think her soul is already gone.
She wants to be on the gravy train, and in the club so bad, and I guess she figures if she sucks up hard enough, and long enough, something will come of it. Pun intended.
🤣🤣🤣
LOL !
Righty memes are on fire!
Good point. Looks like “White means clean”. I’m triggered.
That earring won’t work forever.
Lots of making fun of Dems via Syria bombing and no checks on the social medias. I’d laugh there, but I’m not left privileged enough to not be banned for it.
Last night I was more tired than hungry. I had some ground beef I needed to use soon and a can of Manwich in the cupboard from the last time the kids stayed with me so I decided to make a quick pot of Sloppy Joes. While it was simmering in the pot, I reached into my breadbox to get a burger bun and discovered I had spotted buns. So I threw them out. I have some flour tortillas so I thought about Sloppy Josés instead, but that would have meant turning an avocado into guaucamole and grating cheese. So I put the Joes in the fridge and ate leftover meatloaf again. This morning I thought about how many faux pas I had committed in our Brave New World. What makes a tomato sauce laced with vinegar a sandwich for a man? Is Joe a white guy? Because if he’s a black guy, is it OK to say he’s sloppy? Is making a Mexican version insulting to Mexicans or cultural appropriation? Was just tossing the moldy buns in the trash without trying to salvage them a sign of white privilege? I have some dough rising to make some fresh buns, but I used King Arthur flour. When will they have to change their name?
The PC crowd wants us to starve to death,
Now! Since you have let the Cat out of the bag. 😆
wrong nest again, this was to em. ;shock:
Is white flour racist?
I get whole wheat seeded bread from my bakery. It’s dense and earthy. Does it mean I’m showing my white supremacy or my white fragility? Or am I just plain racist?
My youngest loves sloppy Joe’s, but prefers them on hot dog buns. I haven’t made sloppy Joe’s or porcupines, another favorite of my youngest, in a long time. Your post jogged my memory, maybe I’ll work them into my meal plans in the coming weeks.
I love sloppy joe’s.
lateblum, we finally had the lemon pepper pasta the other night. I loved the flavor and texture. Just ordered more flavors from Pasta Pappone today. Nom nom.
I’m so happy you liked it,!
OMG YOU HAVE MANWICH???? I love Manwich. I introduced my kids to homemade sloppy joes a few months ago but for this 1970s kid, nothing can compete with the sauce from the can.
A SANDWICH IS A SANDWICH, BUT A MANWICH IS A MEAL.
My son feels secure, if cans of Manwich are on the shelves. I guess we are both racists. I like Sloppy Joes, too. I like white bread, too, especially Italian. I am Italian, so its not cultural appropriation, for me, but I guess it is for anyone else who eats “Italian food”.
I had scrapple for breakfast, and I am not Amish. No matter what I eat, I guess I am racist.
My sloppy joes are barbecue sauce and ketchup.
This is a very funny thread to me, because I remember most all of these. People posting those funny photos of the playground equipment from schools and telling how they or their siblings injured themselves doing stupid things. Somehow we all survived.
I remember that.
Me, too. We grew potatoes, and when I was little, it was fun to dig one up and give it a face, and then plant it again for my dad to find. Of course, where we dug it up, the ground would be disturbed so he’d know we’d done it. He’d start pretending he could hear the potato yelling for help and stert digging faster.
LOL.
You had a great dad!
I loved this thing, when I was a kid!
I used to be the one who grabbed the poles and ran and ran and ran to make it go faster. Of course, I had numerous skinned knees and ripped clothes. I wouldn’t ride it because it made me throw up.
I was the one yelling “push it faster” and then jumping off and trying not to fall down. What’s a few skinned knees?.You got those doing almost anything fun.😄
You and me both Leslie, although I took my fair share of rides.
Yes, so much fun! This thread also has photos of monkey bars (how many of us fell at least once) and hot, metal slides (ouch). So funny reading the comments.
I love the way they put the monkey bars (hope that’s not racist) embedded in blacktop. Sort of a death and destruction trap for children. Of course everyone had 4 or 5 kids so I guess they considered us disposable.
That is so funny! I forgot about the see-saw.
short thread
hate speech
#metoo is so yesterday, or last year, or whatever. It’s over.
Well AOC, Kamala and the blonde use sex to get ahead. Hillary would have if she could have.
I hate Democrats. I wish they would abort themselves.
What a bunch of vengeful little bitches.
That’s who they are.
Bo’s Twatter TL is interesting.
❤ David Marcus at The Federalist
“What are you going to do, box me out? You aren’t tall enough.” 🤣🤣🤣
Best coffee. I love medium roast: Cast Iron, Ride or Die, Rage Against the Dying of the Light and Loki. All are organic.
🤣🤣🤣 Libs on Twitter are losing their minds over the golden Trump statue at CPAC –it has a magic wand in one hand & a presidential agenda in the other.
Imma dyin’!
Prep means they are waking Joe up or giving him drugs.
Probably both.
Democrats hate everyone; they hate themselves the most.
They want to control EVERYTHING. And they still won’t be happy.
👆 This. 👆
My friend Rob tripped over an ottoman literally dozens of times. Stop the madness!
My toes and bed legs hate each other.
My reward for the two cataract surgeries arrived today. It’s a small mouse bronze and its number is 45/100. Squeeeee!
I LOVE it! How tall is it? It looks heavy. It is beautiful.
He’s a little guy and weighs under a pound. It is solid bronze, and his name is Trump or 45..
Sweet!
2 3/8″ and 6.1 ounces.
His name is Trumpy.
I’ll measure him later. LOL.
Ooh, I like. So cute!
That is beautiful, Lyn!
Adorable!!!
Awww. I had a real pet mouse for about 3 years because my son’s pet snake wouldn’t eat it.
LOL.
awww!!!
Love him ❤🐁
Cute.
Nice!

Show ponies …
The Klown popped in today at Surber’s place. I hope that means all is well at his circus. 🙂
What is that strange comment of yours in the spam filter?
It’s the script for a Rumble video of the beginning of Ted Cruz’s speech at CPAC . He was funny, but it wasn’t worth fighting with it to get it to post. You can ignore it. 🙂
RSBN is the one to follow this weekend I guess 🙂
They’re eating Oprah alive now 🤣🤣🤣

The $3.5 billion bitch deserves it.

But also, Amazon is manifestly dishonest about censoring books that are “offensive” or “inappropriate.”
They continue to sell books like this, which discusses very young children performing fellatio.
https://amazon.com/Beyond-Magenta-Transgender-Teens-Speak/dp/0763673684/
And I don’t believe they should stop selling it! /3
Books that surprise and inform and challenge us to see things differently are usually offensive to someone.
In the short term, sounding the alarm may increase sales of a particular book. But this is a dangerous move – and we are all too complacent about it. /4
When a company controls over 83% of the market for books, it begins the process of deleting ideas from a society.
A bookseller can sell whatever it wants. If ‘Marxist Books’ wants to only sell books that conform to its ideology, OK; that has integrity. /5
But this is the “world’s largest bookseller.” Amazon can basically make books disappear for *all readers* — and does so on a blatantly dishonest basis.
Under guise of removing “inappropriate” content, they will really be removing ideas they disfavor. /6
Please do not make the mistake of analogizing this to a tiny Colorado bakery. There’s a huge difference between one baker refusing to make a particular cake and Target, Amazon, or Apple deleting content: scale – i.e., the difference between homicide and genocide. /7
Start to understand the power of scale.
The difference between Maoist Books refusing a book and Amazon, is that books Amazon disfavors will never be published in the first place — which is exactly what the book banners want. /8
If the pipe that 83% of book sales flow through shuts off, those books will never get published. Why would a publisher take a chance on a book that @amazon
won’t carry? It won’t. /9
NOW is the time to get upset. For the moment, while we can still express this on @twitter, NOW is the time.
Writers are being dropped by agents and refused by publishers *right now* because of Amazon’s move.
Time is running out. /10
Leftist haters are hatin’
Hate is all they have.
Sexy.
Election fraud has consequences. I wish we could sue the Democrats for this.
Maybe one of us should deliver the SOTU?
I would start a pool on how long before some Leftist tries to desecrate his grave but I’m pretty sure they already have.
Hope they get shot.
Gaga’s dogs are back. Don’t tell Obama, because, you know, he eats dogs. Never gets old.
And every time I hear a “report” about this incident, I hear the dogs “are in good condition and are happy to be back home”. I still don’t know the condition of the dog walker – you know, the actual p e r s o n who was shot. ffs
Something smells fishy about the whole thing. Reports say he’s doing well!?!?! Shot in the chest at close range? Hmmmm?
Look how sweet
Love those two kitties!
I remember seeing this last year. It is so funny, I have watched it many times.
I have never seen this before. It is wonderful. I haven’t stopped giggling since I first read the tweet. The the video was waaay better than I’d hoped.
1 in 10 chance you will catch covid from someone in your household?????
