The Rose by Bette Midler.

This is my office space in my new home.

May 2025 be your best year yet!

Me too! An Uber is not that expensive if you need one.

Happy New Year! May 2025 be astronomically better than 2024 was.

You just made my day!

Cross is so modest. She didn't mention how excellent that book is! I love hot chocolate! I'll help myself to some rich chocolate with marshmallows. As you probably all know, I am in the process of moving. There have been some major hiccups in my receiving my money from the sale of my home. It is supposed to come no later than tomorrow. I have enough to get the truck and we will start loading it tomorrow regardless. Worse case scenerio, we end up getting a second truck, filling them both, and getting a motel for a day or two. I just hope there is NOT no room at the Inn. I never mind being like Jesus, but I don't want to spend Christmas like his first one! Humor gets me through. What can I say?

That's quite an update! I'm so sorry for the loss of your kitties. I lost a beloved dog very young and very suddenly, so I can empathize with you. Congrats on your elevation. Many years ago, I was in the SCA, and I know how hard it is to earn your Pelican. Your young kitties are just adorable! My plans for this holiday are moving. I close escrow on my current home today. Then we load the truck and move it on Saturday, maybe tomorrow.

I didn't notice Dolly there! I have two kitty co-workers, and one of them usually has my chair nice and warm when I'm ready to work. The other is Reba, btw. Dolly has the gray nose. When I rescued them, there names were Dua and Due. Those had to go!

Welcome to DM. I have to agree that cats are the best stress reliever there is. I wish mine were more cuddly.

My home office space (for now).

Happy Thanksgiving week!

I agree. We should do it every Halloween. Maybe Christmas, too.

This was fun! Thanks for running the thread, Ryrin!

This was a great discussion. Thanks, Dar'Jen.

This was fun! Thanks for running the game, Mother.

Can I have another treat please?

Oops!

Funny thing about apples. I love the taste of cooked apples in every form I'm tried them, but I just can't stand the texture of a raw apple.

I'll take another treat, please. I'm no good with riddles.

Last night we went trunk-or-treating with my grandkids, and I ate all the Milky Ways, because nobody likes them but me. They're one of my favorites, too, along with 100,000 bars.

Peanut Butter M&Ms are my current favorite.

Feel free to change your avi to one in costume if you have one that Elgee's not using. I'll be happy to crop it for you.

I barely remember Halloween as a kid. I know when my kids were little, we handed out Tootsie candies, which I love, but apparently, aren't a big hit with my kids. Now, it's chocolate all the way.

I'll start with a treat. I'm hungry.
