“I’m gonna grow some figs next year? Any advice?”

Yes you should send them all to me.

Do any of you have name trends. Like people in your lives that are always good or bad with the same name?

Yes! Totally and I agree with “Steve” met some good ones but more unsavory
I like most Michelle’s (my sister is one) but I feel they as a name group are drama queens if you ask them and they say they are not ask their family.
I Have a good deal of trouble with most Johns (not that kind of “John”)
I also used to have a hate on for the name Paula but as I look back I only ever disliked one. So…

Well As I am never going to catch up I will say good night there.

Ps doing toys for tots and salvation army again this year. We have about 500 kids 0-17 that will get nothing because donations are so far down and I am not talking just toys and stuff they won’t get clothes, hats, gloves, shoes or coats this is happening everywhere. So please if you see a sale where some of these things or toys are cheap buy 1 or 2 and when the barrels go out donate them you can even write it off on your taxes.

@benjaminleebates Just a quick note… if you get a bunny… prepare to CONSTANTLY rewrap Christmas gifts! Oh. My. Freaking. Gosh! Is she ain’t trying to eat the garland, she’s unwrapping presents that don’t belong to her!

I had a dream last night that I was Christmas shopping with my parents and I bought a bunny.

The local news station teams up with the Marines for Toys for Tots down here. They were saying this year they recieved the largest amount of donations ever at the studio. Maybe the people where you live are just stingy?

I am half Polish (Dad 100%), quarter German, and last quarter is some kind of Scandinavian-Irish-Dutch mix.

It’s the same here, according to the news, They are getting a lot of donations, they just have to get the gifts out to those that need it. I’ve also noticed the barrels put out are usually almost full. We mostly donate cash because I forget to buy a toy while in a store…

Good Morning Greens! It is 33° on the patio. Tomorrow, high winds will make it feel as low as -1°. That makes my bones shiver! (prepping 41-hint hint.) The neighbor’s (3) inflatable graveyards are active. Cracks me up! Cookie baking this weekend. Peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip walnut and pecan wedding cakes. More Chex Mix because that stuff is like crack.
Enjoy Sunrise!

Mornin Greens! Took my time today getting this out…up since 3:00 but was still busy.

Today’s WTF: Dry Christmas trees spark more than joy.
Neglected, dried-out Christmas trees spark about 260 fires in the United States each year resulting in an average of 12 deaths, 24 injuries and $16.4 million in property damage, according to the Electrical Safety Foundation. An additional 150 fires are started because of holiday lights and other decorative lighting, resulting in an average of eight deaths, 16 injuries and $8.9 million in property damage per year. Not only will an errant spark ruin your holiday, it can put both residents and responding firefighters in danger.

@mbspell

my uncle emailed. we sent him a photo Christmas card. he complained that hubs (his name was on the only return address labels we had) should have made a note of who was in each photo and where they were taken.

no thanks for trying to be nice, I suppose.

well…if he is your uncle…he must be pretty old…
needs a good memory jog to tell who’s who in the photo. lol

he used to live outside DC, now in Cali
we don’t see him much
he is in his 70’s
however, I never expected this. next year no photo card!!

[mbspell]

I am 75% Polish, 25% Irish

3/4 grandparents were 100% Polish, 1 was Irish

hubs is mostly Irish, so kids are 2/3 Irish, 1/3 Polish

I am 1/2 Italian, only the second generation of Americans, my grandparents immigrated in the late 1800’s, came through Ellis Island. I went to visit Ellis Island and found the manifest that shows my grandmother and great uncle on the ship Brittania, a sister ship of the Titanic.
The other half is Czechoslovakian. I traced that half on Ancestry and found all kinds of things! I got as far as my great-great-great-great grandmother who was Austrian back in the early 1700s.
So cool!

Mine is just starting to open up the first set of blooms. My mom’s is already blooming and we set them up on the same day.
