Gentlemen prefer BLONDES

 

[COOKIES MOM]

In our marriage I had only one favorite blond. He was a golden RETRIEVER and we all loved him.

 

[Muzzaman]

Good one, cookies mom. That's a tough one to follow

 

[garysgirl]

I had Labrador Retriever, he was a great DOG

 

[Muzzaman]

The quick brown FOX jumped over the lazy brown dog.

 

[Poirot]

aaahhhh, Muzza, I remember that phrase from typing class, (uses every letter in the alphabet).


And the descriptive PHRASE for a ne'er do well.........sly as a fox.

 

[Wilde Woman]

Sometimes we like to COIN a phrase if it fits the moment

 

[robinsnest]

Our Salvation BELL ringers will take coin or card this year.....

 

[Muzzaman]

@robinsnest what does that saying mean? I'm not challenging you on it but rather just curious? Is it an American saying with reference to your Liberty Bell with a different name?

 

[garysgirl]

It's the Salvation Army bell ringers...Red Kettle campaign for Christmas...

The Salvation Army is a Christian organization that gives hope and support to vulnerable people

 

[robinsnest]

This year the Wichita bell ringers are going to be able to take credit card swipes so you can't just tell them sorry I don't have cash.....

 

[Poirot]

yes, Muzza, During the Christmas shopping season, the Salvation Army members all take turns, standing in various locations in large shopping areas, ringing a huge bell, and standing beside a large metal kettle attached to a holder of sorts. Boy, when I lived in Chicago, they were on every corner in the very busy downtown area, middle of the block.....just everywhere.
Up north here, tis a very small area, so sometimes the person is in a Santa suit, sometimes it a female in a rather vintage grey long dress....Our area is only a couple blocks long. But they will put the kettle and stand just inside the supermaket doors, same (at times) at WalMart. They don't always have enough people, so........most of the times, the kettle stands alone, lol........but everyone knows why it is there, what it is for.

Green apples

 

[soapkitty]

I'm making 2 kinds of crisps They both have apples but one has RAISINS in it and the other has cranberries in it. They are topped with crisp that has pecans on it.

 

[Wilde Woman]

I used to enjoy CHOCOLATE-covered raisins but have not had them in years

 

[Poirot]

Used to love chocolate, but DISCOVERED am allergic, or something, as get bad migraines.........so, just stay away from anything chocolate (like frosting, candy, cake, etc.) and yes, it worked.
