I stumbled upon some videos of The Carpenters, and I was again entranced by Karen Carpenter’s voice. I heard her singing described as “wrapping each note in velvet and laying it gently upon your ear”.
So true. She had such a beautiful, one-of-a-kind gift.
RIP Karen.
So, more Merry Christmas to the Couch.
I’m also sad someone else has taken the LST name. Just hope they are civilized folks who will not sully the name, especially when local folk who don’t read Hambone daily suddenly find out that somebody else has taken it. And then wonder where we have gone. I also recall Squawk offering to buy it some time ago. We’ve been… Read more »
Nite all.

That is a good one
#130 Squawk, I do understand…… 😀
Before I go I have a picture that was taken in Dallas County Alabama, (think Selma), of a nice lady and her Banty rooster about 1940, is that a neat picture or what?
Texpat and Super Dave I offered to buy LST name for a pretty sizable price a couple time. Benzine just said no. I asked him ot contact me if he ever wanted to get rid of it. I have a theory I will keep to myself why it came up for sale. Super Dave it all depends on who the… Read more »
Well sister just left after watching Yellowstone and having a fine T Bone before that. We had a fine visit and I had a hard time keeping up with wife and sister’s stories, man they know where all the bodies are buried in the Marley Mill area. Last night wife went to Ebenezer Baptist Church over near Long Street Range… Read more »
Oh and Squawk and Texpat this is just a Drive-By and I too hate that Lone Star Times was lost but why is the new site all about Indonesia?! I just don’t get it.
#122 Texpat, Yup, I just caught a clip of him on TV today where he said he couldn’t vote for Herschel Walker and my first thought was that he didn’t give a damn about his party or the country for that matter he is just the typical politician doing what he thinks will advance his career. ~SPITS~
105 Squawk
I’m a little irritated DB didn’t at least contact you and me to see if we wanted to preserve the domain. I would’ve paid just to keep anyone else from having it.
As I was watching a couple in front of me this morning, it was obvious this was their first time. They had the red cheater books and were trying to follow along. They looked to be in their late fifties or sixties. The wife turned to me for assistance in the beginning, and I leaned forward to point out where… Read more »
I met with Little Elizabeth’s mother this morning. As I greeted the family, Mom mumbled “We need a little more grace this morning, Tedtam”. I’m guessing that Little E was trying Mom’s patience. I had promised LE something for Christmas, and with the upcoming anticipated surgical schedule, I pushed to finish a little pink pouch purse this morning and found… Read more »
Sheesh

SIGH……………..
They are fleeing the Mainline. After a controversial stance against same sex marriages and LGBTQ clergy members was upheld by a slim majority in 2019, congregations across the country are seeking to leave the denomination through a meticulous process called disaffiliation. Although the two conferences meeting this weekend do not cover the Dallas-Fort Worth area, up to 439 churches across… Read more »

The two are facing off in a runoff election on Tuesday. plus this, “I’m a conservative because I think… Read more »

It is all good man. BSue was tired of my nonsense and suggested, STRONGLY I may add, that I go find something to do. Through some cosmic events all things came together to give me something to do. Tinkering on the back end was just in time, life saving (MINE) I may add.

He said it was the best chicken he’d ever had. Hard to compete against yourself, hope I am successful lol.
Wife’s nephew came to visit from New Hampshire last night and staying here a few days, DROVE! thirty hours straight through.
Anyhow, he remembered my beer can chicken and grilled foil wrapped diced potatoes from when he was a kid and requested it. We are at 162 degrees at the moment. 😀
Mester Squawk – I was not mentioning the log on issue to mean anything be done about it. Don’t know if you already did anything but the issue went away it seems today. Many thanks.
Lost the link, but I read where Spielberg and Steve McQueen’s son and granddaughter are teaming up to make a sequel to Bullitt.
This batch of soup turned out very good. Spicy, but not too hot; veges crunchy, but not too crunchy. I’ll have to let it cool for at least a couple of hours before putting it away. I might have to have one more cup just before bedtime tonight.

#107 SuperDave – Right – I definitely wouldn’t call him “Here Kitty Kitty Kitty!!!!”
I’m back from Kroger with 60 more lbs of dog kibble for the night crew. So far, after I use the cane to get around for first 15-20 mins after I get up, my leg pain subsides and I’m able to walk. Yes, I have my doc appt on Tuesday, but remains to be seen if she will have any… Read more »

BLOG MONKEY GETS AN UPGRADE Elon Musk shared a video of a monkey demonstrating “telepathic typing” during Neuralink’s show-and-tell event on Wednesday night. In the demo video, the monkey appears to type out words on a screen using only his mind, thanks to an implanted brain chip. Musk was quick to explain that the monkey was using his mind to… Read more »
My soup veges are all chopped up and on the stove. I fund some chicken legs on sale, so I steamed them up in the Instapot while I was chopping veges. I got a new enameled cast iron dutch oven a while back and decided to give it a try since this batch of veges is larger than I usually… Read more »
I love this……. ECONOMIC REALITIES DASH BIDEN’S OFFSHORE WIND PLANS But then we knew that… oh BTW Climate Change legislation is more about control but I digress As Haaland made clear, the Biden administration’s offshore wind efforts are about more than fighting climate change. They also amount to a federally financed jobs program with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars… Read more »
One more piece of evidence that our legal system defenders are WOKE. No Dissent on Abortion Allowed at Hogan Lovells The global law firm fired me for defending the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision.

And a brisk new day to The Couch! I can’t say Morning, since it took me this far past 12 noon to get to hamous.net. Well, my 20-Y.O Millie is grumpy this morning; she’s had 4 bowls of food so far but is complaining that she’s still hungry. Me, I worked the sudoku in record time then dug into my… Read more »
When I jack up any vehicle, truck or car, I chock the wheels front and back and set the emergency brake after I make sure it is in park mode. I use heavy duty jackstands, always. I do not understand people who don’t. “I couldn’t get a good angle, so I slid my body underneath the truck and was hitting… Read more »

Thx.
I’m thinking that this may be another cabbage soup making day. I think I’ll use chicken thighs in it this time. The ingredients do not sound all that appetizing, but I’ve found that it tastes pretty good, is filling, and is almost keto (carrots and onions are really not keto but they are not just overloaded with carbs like a… Read more »
