- Sear with bomb flash to seal in the juices. - Adjust the heat at random, occasionally putting the LBS in the freezer for safe keeping while preparing other dishes out of camera shot. - Occasionally flip so that the LBS has no clue any more which way is up - Adjust the gas lighting so that it is unclear what other preparations are being made - Wave spices at the LBS but never actually apply any - Fog the pan with hope and misinformation to season - Garnish with STD tests, lawyer bills and serve with a side of poutine - Have the take-out fast food you were going to have anyway and dump the LBS in the trash
Thanks Dream. I'll be fine. No need to worry. I hope you and the boys have a great Christmas.
PS - you win doodler!

Well, it didn't take long for your last thread to fill up!
We all worry about you and you've been doing quite a bit of work, be it shake rattle and roll the shaky bed at S's home or the heavy lifting...whatever created the latest warning to slow down...you need to heed it. You may not even realize that you've got some stress going on and it could be that you are thinking about all that you have to do at your home and yet, S has a list of things that she needs done. Whatever is going on, please heed your body's warnings.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
melt some chocolate until it forms a ball (why? because a LBS needs something sweet after all the BS we've been put through) add, in this order: - a hug - comments on your looks or weight (or both for extra strength) - a kiss - the avowal that it's "time to try something new" - a longing look
roll all together .
sprinkle with an "I love you"
throw out into the snow to give them the Deepest Freeze
Use for batting practice.

Just had a nice Christmas lunch for the corporate office. I had the bread pudding for dessert. I need to decide what to make for Sunday Supper this week. As the protein I have chicken, ground beef, garlic sausages, and steaks. I also have the address of my butcher. I'm uncertain as to how many people I'll be feeding or where which is part of the challenge.

Yet again there is a Christmas card from a former bestie of my ex addressed to Mr & Mrs P
Each prior year, because I am a decent guy, I've arranged for the card to get forwarded to my ex and never opened it. The assumption being that a correct address would be sent over. I also figured that she was in many ways entitled to her own narrative with this friend.
I had noticed that the last couple of times that I "happened past" my ex's apartment that her car wasn't there at a time when it could e expected to be. So perhaps she's moved. No clue. So forwarding the card isn't feasible. S25 saw the envelope and the card is out. If he wants to pass it along he can. None of my business. And not my job to be her public relations.
Opened the card this year. A nice and thoughtful note is inside. The plan is to send a card back with a nice note letting friend know that her friend hasn't lived here for a while, that I have no forwarding address and wishing her ever Merry Christmas and thanking her for the card.
This is the final person who needs to be told. I'll be glad to have this behind me. Annoying how she just shed so much of her past life like a snake shedding it's skin leaving me to deal with the mess.

story to tell you - it's a true tale as well ... way back when exh and I bought our house, the couple who sold it were older, coming up on their 50th anniversary. selling said house because husband had macular degeneration and it was getting to be too much for them.
2 or 3 weeks after they sold us the house, on the very morning of their 50th wedding anniversary he told her he was filing for divorce.
every year for the ten years we lived in that house they got a Christmas card from the same couple in Hawaii. I have no idea why she never told them about the divorce, but there you have it, and it's baffling to me as well.

Divorce after 50 years of marriage? Maybe the macular degeneration was causing cognitive issues.
Regarding Christmas cards, a couple of days ago I received a Christmas card from my ex-wife's OM's adult son. It came to my address and it was addressed to Mrs. doodler + family (he used my last name not her maiden name). This will be the third Christmas since our divorce and I didn't receive a card from him for the previous two Christmases. Weird. I haven't opened it; I'm considering returning it to sender.

Nope. He was having an affair. With someone he met at the Senior Center. Playing Cards. I can't make this $h!t up.
