Tuesday Open Comments

For those not in the know, this is Taylor Swift, possibly the most popular pop singer right now.  Politically correct.  She is famous for singing about her breakups and past boy toys.

Cat has her nightly goodies, spouse is tired and ready to go to bed, and I’m following soon.

G’night all.

Checking in, thanks GJT for the TexMo service report and for representing all of us. Texpat, I guess you got the shower, 2 hours? Got one of those tankless water heaters huh? 😀 Oh and I’m glad you got out of that Gawd awful place and got the old ticker regulated. #35 Shannon, there is a special place in Hell… Read more »

The weather folks are darned serious about the heat predicted for the next few (we hope) days.  Summer just rudely hopped over Spring and would seem to be moving in.  By the time we get to August we will be praying for an early Fall to magically appear.

What # 37 mharper42 said.

It is always sad to lose a friend, and unfortunately we’ve lost several recently.

Tim, I am glad you could go to TexMo’s funeral. Thank you for your first-hand report of the event.

Typically, Father’s Day weekend is the first truly miserably hot and humid weekend around here.

The predicted 102° is not typical.

Katfish always said that you are not allowed to complain about the heat before the 4th of July.

Sorry, Bubba, we’re getting an early start this year.

Received my electricity bill for May.

Between May 6 and June 6, I only used 648 kWh.

$109.00

I can dig it.

Now, about the predicted ten straight 100 degree days starting tomorrow….

#30 Shannon,

Clear message displayed without frills or gimmicks says it all.  That flag should be displayed by citizens wherever Biden or his representatives show up in public places.  Also take wagers as to how many citizens know precisely what that flag means.

Got back from TexMo’s funeral, beautiful service. Very well attended, overflow crowd backing up into the entrance area. Seating only for family it appeared, so no up and down exercises but you did stand in place for an hour. From our vantage, the echo was too much to understand anything said, I did not get to talk to his wife… Read more »

I receive a newsletter that the author always opens with quotable quotes from the Christian commentariat. Yesterday’s was quite poignant: Miracles in the gospels. The miracles of Jesus in the canonical gospels are sober, restrained, unsensational and spiritually significant … Moreover, they are evenly distributed through the four gospels and their sources, so that they are widely attested; the time… Read more »

#23 Shannon,

Indeed those bags can be tricky.  I found a way to outsmart them by folding the closed top down and anchoring it with a clothespin or a big paperclip.  It looks rather strange but it works.  🙂

Texpat,

Great news travels fast.  Saw your post about when you can go home this afternoon.  Rest up for as long as needed/wanted.  Having things back to “normal” can take a little while to get used to.  In a manner of speaking, the “silence” is deafening for a bit  🙂

You can never be 100% sure that they are sealed and digging around in the freezer they can slide open.

I’ve always thought those freezer bags with the “slider” closure are totally useless.

Tedtam – additional tips for “doing eggs”… 9 eggs blenderized only til smooth – not frothy – and poured into ziplock bags – make sure the bags have the old style press-to-seal ‘zippers’ on them… The kind with the “zipper foot” and “pleats” were a right-REAL- PINTA to get eggs out of and get onto Nat’s trays (not sorry the… Read more »

Well, I get the dumbass of the day award: I posted a couple of comments on yesterday’s thread that should have been here.

When and where is TexMo’s funeral please?  I could find it but I’m not in a convenient place to scroll and search.

About Texmo’s service, I really wanted to try and make it but just didn’t get things rounded up in time. I’m sure a few of our group will represent us well. Prayers go out to the family in this difficult time. I keep thinking about what he told Tedtam; “I’ll not make my 50th birthday”. 🙁

Anyone else going to try and go to the funeral? We will probably only go to church service and not graveside.

Mornin’ SD – I had to look at the recipe to find out what in the world a “yellowhammer” is… Still not much clue – but they do sound like tasty cookies…
