Lots of folks have security systems in their homes, but no cameras to monitor their porches or rooms or doors or critters. We picked up two of these BLINK hard-wired cameras and they work so easily & well. Easy to “install” & hook up to your internet network. Takes about 5 minutes.

I have one looking out the front window & one on the back porch too.

If you are apprehensive about the difficulty of setting cameras up, fear not. It’s really 1. Download the BLINK app 2. Plug your camera in 3. Follow the basic install instructions. (Just like adding a printer to your network).

I have a security system too, trouble is, she can't recognize people from cats. Scares the crap outta' me when she jumps up barking!!! only to find out it's a cat walking by. How the heck can she hear those quiet little kitty feet?

Really? I have no filter...if I think it...it comes out my mouth...lol
however...I don't think that you make inappropriate comments so that must mean that you and I are both in the same boat with this lack of filter thing. too funny don't you think???
You’re right! And the love of fast cars, NASCAR, a certain driver….

Hey Yvonne
Sorry this is late but I had a crappy Christmas too! All alone I was fine.
But when a friend of mine showed up it was like I was a caterer! I cooked then cleaned and after we ate a small LASAGNA together that very same “friend” FELL ASLEEP!!!!! from 6pm till 10pm!!!
So I went up to my room and watched
The Wizard of Oz AND do you know what!??????
THIS PERSON HAD THE AUDACITY TO COME UP AND ASK ME TO WALK THEM OUT TO THEIR CAR SO I MISSED THE ENDING OF THE MOVIE!!!!
—ANNNNDDDD…..
TOOK THE OTHER HALF OF THE LASAGNA TOO!!!!——

I don’t know what I did in a past life to deserve such mistreatment by people!
They ruin my day—
They take and take—
Then they leave without so much as to wish me a merry Christmas!!!
PLUS!!——
I was UNINVITED to my moms house by my sister because SHE didn’t want me to bring “THAT THING”! (Which she called my tortoise).
Says I am a bother and my mom doesn’t need any stress!???
My mom called and said where are you?
I have gifts for you and Sally and even Gary!!
My mom said it ruined her Christmas not to see MEEEE!
I’M THE GOD DARN FUN ONE!!!!
And my sister I guess doesn’t like that.
So in a nut shell…..
This will be my LAST ? Christmas that I celebrate. Next year I will treat it like any other day…?
Spent a lot of money on gifts too boot!
I am here for you my friend!!!!
Always will be! ❤️?
I'm here, Chef. The best cure is seeing the people you care about & let the rest fall away. And unfortunately, family can be at their very worst on the holidays, & I'd lump birthdays, weddings, funerals, anniversaries & other "special" occasions in there, too. So.....NY's Eve is almost here & you're home free for several months.

I didn't dress Houdini up. He said gulp, gulp, gulp back at me. The cats said, "Thank Gawd, you didn't have family or guests over." My husband put out a couple of Christmas things today so it would look like we tried. And then my brother-in-law & wife & 2 mini Schnauzers showed up this evening, so now the cats are in hiding.

I like Christmas in Cozumel better. And Houdini says gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp...which I think is "holiday greetings" to you, Maggie, Sloopy'sMom, Cathie G & the rest of you here at TF...even Chubbs who's ditched us.

Well, I was just thinking, being alone/living by yourself (w/fur/feather/shell babies) does have it's perk's. . . You can eat a whole can of black olives by yourself . . in one sitting w/o anyone making you feel self conscious .?
I think you & I are the only 2 in the world who like black olives. Always have a can in the fridge.

Olive lover here. ? in fact, I really enjoy all kinds of olives. We always have both black & green olives around. Our local Lidl recently had some great deals on large pickled Spanish olives.

ps - love a good Olive oil too. That’s a must.

Happy Tuesday!

Good morning/afternoon all!
It's a very windy day here mixed with rain and brighter spells.
I've only been to the shop to stock up with food for Lola for the next few days, but no plans for the rest of the day.
Everything should be back to normal tomorrow for a couple of days, before another long weekend for many.
Hope your having a good Tuesday.
