Slache Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 My dad has an accidental pet cat. Neighbors moved and left it behind. We don't use paper towels or napkins. I think we just couldn't afford them for so long we got used to not having them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Apologies to all of the Astros fans here. I am rooting for the Nationals all the way. I rooted hard for your team a few years ago.

I'm not about to sift through 3,000ish posts to find the answer. 😀 The Island is our personal and private retreat. If anyone on ITT (Ignore this Tread) is having a bad or difficult day, someone usually calls Rocco (the Cabana boy who is always neatly dressed in pressed shorts and a spiffy polo) to fire up the chopper (one of many forms or transportation) and transport said ITTer to the Island. There are many options for recovery from a lounge chair on the beach where Rocco ( and his brother Roderigo) will give you a foot massage and pedicure whole bringing you tropical drinks (of your choice) with little umbrellas in them. There’s also the lodge on the Island with a wrap around porch and Adirondack chairs and a huge stone fireplace inside where you can sip hot chocolate or tea and read a book and be cozy. Critter, our resident ITT author and artist, has a gallery there. Swen is our pastry chef, fully trained in Denmark.... we have a tremendous staff. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Good morning! Praying for your head, Junie! I’m between morning service and Sunday school. Our class is on a series on aging and end-of-life decisions. Oy veh. Very informative and helpful, though. Which reminds me, if you are so inclined, can you pray for FIL - his broken shoulder will take a good 2 months to heal (I am guessing longer) and he relied heavily on his arms to help him with basic mobility because he has very poor balance.

Wheres Toto Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Love the picture Bookie! Happy Sunday. It's a plan classes, do laundry, maybe straighten a few things up day. So what have I accomplished so far now that it's almost noon? Put some clothes away that had been sitting around since last week since I need the basket, washed dishes, and read a bunch of posts on TWTM forums. Sooooo productive. Still to go - that actual class planning, school planning for my kids, and all the laundry. And maybe the straightening. And a trip to the science center because I still haven't cleaned up from my workshop Friday and I need to figure out how to set up pendulums when I don't think the ceiling supports will support them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
