Donald Chump said that Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana called him up and volunteered to become an envoy to Greenland in the hopes of making them the 51st state.
If he volunteered, that means he doesn't get paid. If he doesn't get paid, it's not a job.
If he takes the envoy gig, he'll have to resign as Governor.
LMAO!! That's also in KY and I know a few in Illinois that do this too...it's a southern thing but my god when my neighbors did it I laughed until I cried.
I had a sad for Christmas.... bullets were handed from one to another.... my uncle had a friend who died and my uncle got his firearms.... gave my dad the smaller semi-auto and kept the .45 caliber for himself. I don't worry about Dad, he was a state trooper back in the very early '70s, but just the idea of guns everywhere....
We're getting it starting around 1 p.m. tomorrow. All we need is water, from our neighbor who has a spring, and gas for the tractor. We even know where the lanterns are in case the power goes out.
We're going to hit 85° tomorrow and then not get out of the 40s for the next two days after that. Texas weather is the only thing I actually like about Texas though.
The good news is my mom's feeling well enough to eat some rice, lentils, and veggies finally, after the hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms decided to hit her today.
When we Face timed my brother and BIL I told my mom to open all the presents they sent us. There were no tags, which in the past meant they were group presents. Turns out they forgot to put gift tags on the presents so my gifts became our/my mom's gifts. One would probably have stayed out for us both to enjoy but she really loved the other one. He got me a real cool statue of a beloved character and a small stuffie of a life long beloved kids character that was this year's entry in a series that he's gotten for me every year. I appreciate the thought, just feel sad they are not mine. It was an accident, I know, but from 53 years experience in cancelled birthdays and holidays I know Christmas will be put off for a few weeks until I quietly work my presents from my mom (I buy my presents for me from my mom and she usually mostly pays me back and I store them until the day) into my wardrobe and I will give her her presents slowly when she needs a pick me up or a distraction. I am pissed at myself for feeling sad because everything that crashed yet another Christmas firmly into a brick wall was no one's fault and I was not expecting much at all, especially at my age, but I'm just getting tired of hoping for something slightly nice to happen and then it doesn't in a completely understandable but still disappointing way.
Thanks!! I'm still calling her doctor tomorrow ( I'm HIPPA approved) to see what else we can do to help her through the symptoms, but I'm optimistic I can go to work tomorrow and monitor her by phone and retired nurse neighbor.
"I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was."
What about the Christians at home dying because they can't afford health insurance? There are far more of those than ISIS killed. Can we expect a lethal kinetic strike on the architects of that?
It's a wider-scale slaughter than you're whining about, you orange custard-brained buffoon.
Thank you so much! The eggplant was delicious. If you like it I highly recommend the preparation. You just cut them in half, score them, brush with olive oil, roast at like 500 until golden, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, top with some crumbled feta, and put back in for a couple minutes. It was *so good*!
I don't think it matters? These ranged a bit in size from under what they typically sell in the store to quite small (like large apple sized). I will ask my partner what variety they were. He grew them in the garden. XD That probably doesn't matter much, either, though.
I thought all the food looked yummy but the overall effect is a bit like Dr Oz got a surprise anal intrusion whilst he was holding crudités in an exploding hobby lobby.
Red-green colorblind? It's hard to believe someone so good at photography is any kind of colorblind. Now I'm even more impressed with the quality of your photos.
They're one of my favorite peppers and these (and the eggplant) were some of the last things to come out of our garden. I still have a couple of jalapenos and banana peppers hanging on, but that was it for the poblanos.
I'm going to try to overwinter the plants and see what happens.
"MAIDUGURI, NIGERIA, Dec 25 (Reuters) - At least 5 worshippers were killed and 35 others injured when a suspected suicide bomber detonated an explosive inside a mosque in Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria's Borno state, during evening prayers, police said.
No group has claimed responsibility for Wednesday's attack, which comes amid heightened security concerns in Nigeria’s northeast, where Islamist insurgents Boko Haram and its ISWAP faction have waged a 15-year campaign of violence targeting civilians, mosques, and markets.
Last August, gunmen attacked a mosque and nearby homes in northwest Katsina State killing at least 50, according to local officials and residents."

That means he'll be unemployed in Greenland.

I lived in Indiana for a time. Some Hoosiers are really weird, man. Maybe it's something in the water.
And they love to put concrete geese on their porches and dress them up for various holidays.
LMAO!! That's also in KY and I know a few in Illinois that do this too...it's a southern thing but my god when my neighbors did it I laughed until I cried.
Oh, the memories they will have.
i hope you mean the geese's memories
Right up there with the family Xmas photo posing with the ARs and Glocks. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm sure when some of them die they have their boomtoys buried with them.

Heirloom death machines. It is indeed sad.
What's for dinner?
Lamb roast slow-cooked in red wine.
Grilled cheese and tomato soup
Ms. O can't eat tomatoes. Can she just get grilled cheese soup?

When a snowstorm is forecast around here, terlet paper flies off the store shelves at a truly alarming rate.
I can only conclude that high percentage of the people with whom I share this here town just start shitting uncontrollably when it snows. :D

Already planning on making my supply runs early tomorrow.
Beer distributor, cuz a 12 pack takes care of 3 nights.
Vape store. Dollar General.
OK, I'm gettin tired already just thinking about it.
We might not reach 80° tomorrow...
We might touch 50F, which is above normal but within the range. Not complaining.
We're going to hit 85° tomorrow and then not get out of the 40s for the next two days after that. Texas weather is the only thing I actually like about Texas though.

Rice and lentils has me thinking of Mujaddara - Mujaddara https://www.tasteatlas.com/mujaddara-palestine
Glad to hear mom is making some progress.
Thanks!! I'm still calling her doctor tomorrow ( I'm HIPPA approved) to see what else we can do to help her through the symptoms, but I'm optimistic I can go to work tomorrow and monitor her by phone and retired nurse neighbor.
DO ask her doc about Suboxone for withdrawal.
I will! I've already packed a note with the name written down so I won't forget.
SO IT IS NOW (officially) CHRISTMAS!
Hans Gruber has fallen from Nakatomi Plaza.
The movie is over please join us there for your Christmas OT.
*raises snickerdoodle*
I think I need to apologize to EyeQueue first. See you in a minute.
So this bit from PABbles' rant this evening
"I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was."
What about the Christians at home dying because they can't afford health insurance? There are far more of those than ISIS killed. Can we expect a lethal kinetic strike on the architects of that?
It's a wider-scale slaughter than you're whining about, you orange custard-brained buffoon.
What? Jeebus isn't healing American Xtiains so they don't NEED health insurance?
It's almost like He doesn't actually do anything, but hogs all the credit anyway...

<-- Found someone else who thinks about Mommy Dearest this time of year.
Sorry about that, but we're doing ok, right?
Looked for it streaming, for ages.
Finally found it on the awful Paramount (a freebie from WalMart)...and it doesn't work.
ETA: Yes, Prime has it. I'm just poor.
My relish and charcuterie trays. The eggplant was super delicious and it's so easy to make!

Did I see cornichons with onions?
Yes. My partner likes those. :)
A thing of beauty!
Thank you so much! The eggplant was delicious. If you like it I highly recommend the preparation.

Not enough eggplant. That would be mine, all mine. Yum to all of this. My kinda chow. Deelish.
It was super good. I'd never had anything like that before.
Wrote down the recipe now. Thanks! That is dead easy. Must try.
Btw, what size eggplant? What type? Does it matter?
I don't think it matters? These ranged a bit in size from under what they typically sell in the store to quite small (like large apple sized). I will ask my partner what variety they were. He grew them in the garden. XD That probably doesn't matter much, either, though.
Well done!
Thank you!
Nice! Everything looks yummy!
Thank you! XD
I thought all the food looked yummy but the overall effect is a bit like Dr Oz got a surprise anal intrusion whilst he was holding crudités in an exploding hobby lobby.
LMAO!
I saw that happen once.
Oh, wait. That was just the acid.
Nevermind.
BOOM!
Really it's because I'm colorblind and it's a bit of a blur of shapes and colors.
Red-green colorblind? It's hard to believe someone so good at photography is any kind of colorblind. Now I'm even more impressed with the quality of your photos.
I would fight somebody for those stuffed poblanos!
They were really good! They're a bit spicy but the cheese mixture really tones it down.
I like to cook with poblanos, subbed for green bell pepper whenever.
They're one of my favorite peppers and these (and the eggplant) were some of the last things to come out of our garden. I still have a couple of jalapenos and banana peppers hanging on, but that was it for the poblanos.
I'm going to try to overwinter the plants and see what happens.
I'm in Zone 5b. Overwintering pepper plants is something that would be considered quite a trick here.
I would have attacked all of that, and then been napping next to the dog.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it was the best eggplant I've ever had. And see my comment above. It was so easy.

Just great. More slaughter in the name of religion. Same as it ever was.
