I find the word relationships between (and within) languages to be quite interesting.
YOU feel guilty? I finally bought Christmas cards yesterday. I hope to get them addressed over the long Thanksgiving weekend so they can go out on Monday.
Did I mention this is the first time I'm sending out Christmas cards in, well... Ever?
Lol.. I understand
I am ONLY sending cards to my CDR friends... [emoji847]
We have had “BeeBop” for a couple weeks now.. He is past his danger points now and eating some solid foods. He should do well if I can keep daughter from spoiling him
This is the first year that I have ever appreciated dandelions
now it’s the only thing I have left!!! Lol
I seem to have a bad case of the lazies today. I've got a nice fire going in the wood stove, I'm dressed and combed, but here I sit.
So far this year the weather hasn't been very cold. Most nights have only dipped down into the 40'sF. That's working outside weather. . . and believe me, there's plenty of work to do out there.
A few weeks ago I changed my errand running day from Fridays to Thursdays. So I'm wondering if the stores I go to will be open this Thursday. For those of you "across the pond," this Thursday is the day us USAians commemorate a harvest festival put on by the Pilgrims in 1621. I don't have a "harvest" to celebrate, but I sure do love me a turkey dinner (the traditional Thanksgiving Day meal). I love it so much in fact that once the turkey is bought and put in my refrigerator, as soon as it is thawed, it is cooked. So I ate my Thanksgiving Day meal two days ago.
Speaking of Thanksgiving Day, traditionally the day AFTER Thanksgiving is deemed Black Friday. I don't know where the term 'black friday' came from, but it refers to the day after Thanksgiving, regarded as the first day of the traditional Christmas shopping season, on which retailers offer special reduced prices. For a couple years now, merchants have gotten creative and have started their Black Friday deals a week or so ahead of time. Since I don't do crowds, I don't take advantage of Black Friday. And believe me, it IS crowded!
I guess I've dilly dallied long enough. Time to go.

So you don't like crowds either Yvonne? We now have two things in common that I know of. Lol
Good that you use your wood stove now. I personally hate being cold. But that has something to do with my Artritis I guess.
Sometimes it is nice just to sit. But if you have errands to do. Hup, off you go...
Have a nice day!!

I think I want to get to a 1000 posts this week. Shall I make it? Probably not, but One can try. Only 55 to go...
And a very Happy Birthday to you too! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag [emoji177][emoji512][emoji253]
I hope you are able to have a good day and that your cats and torts spoil you
I'm holding out for the Christmas stamps!
I don't do black Friday here either. It has made its way over the Atlantic despite us not doing Thanksgiving.
It is cold and grey and dull and damp here and that weather doesn't make you want to do anything.
I am glad you have the stove fired up now. Stay warm!
That's easy in the CDR? We spend far too much time chatting
Good afternoon all. Advertisers dealt with for a while. It will get worse before it gets better. There's a big trade show in January and we always get this problem on my other forum in the run up. One company had the nerve to start the post "This isn't an advert" and then went on to say how wonderful their product was [emoji849]
Imagine, how many funny looks I got when I was collecting dandelion seeds in a park here. A man walking a dog actually came over and asked why in the world I would be doing that.
Oh... *goes to whine in Corner 4*Yayyyy! But don’t share.. I have one card for many people
Lyn can supply the excuses and you can proof read them.Would that book of excuse notes be published with or without the grades (of the notes themselves), marked up edits, and/or suggestions on how they could have been more effective?
[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]Another card?? Heather, are you married to a postman by any chance?
Good point.She didn't hate him. She hated all those guests (probably from his side of the family) who kept coming. Swheat...
