Ruby has been sneaking some other little lost souls in here, I suspect they are coming to the back door for handouts in the cold and Ruby is inviting them in quietly. I've been practicing tolerance and charity and pretending not to notice....these are hard times, after all. Portions of bread and cheese now regularly go missing from the pantry. sigh....I can always stretch the soup out. Trying to come up with makeshift clothes for the lot of them is proving to be a challenge however.

First I thought Ruby was your cat. Then I thought it was your daughter. Then I thought it might be your bike. Then I searched TE for "Ruby and BleeckerSt_Girl" and came up dry. Then I found your mandolin website. Then I thought Ruby must be your imaginary friend.

I give up. Who is Ruby? Photo please. So I can stop trying to imagine you making winter clothes for the neighborhood field mice.

Happy birthday Salsa!

Happy Birthday Salsa!!

I'll tell you this much, Ruby scares me. Stephen King could have a field day with her

we have an active schedule part of the joy of being kidless we often do fun stuff on a whim and travel at least once a month.

You're not kid-less, you're kid-free!

I wonder if my father in law will make some comment about how his other son only had daughters so I must have kids because I am the only hope of carrying on the family name by having a boy?

Does he also wear a suit made of chain mail (or velveteen breeches)?

andHAPPY BIRTHDAY, SALSA

I have a sneaking suspicion that the Ruby files were on OTA, which is now all gone. Ruby is... quite a character. I hope the saga of Ruby is brought to TE once more. It's quite entertaining.

My 2nd T'giving in OR and I'm happy to have a very "functional" dinner with my sweetie. My 2nd year of not dealing with my one brother. I miss my Mom and much of my family back in PA but that kind of drama I can live without. I feel bad for them because I know I will hear all of the stories of how horrible it went and who got mad at who and stormed out... I choose to be happy. From the whole way across country.

Heading out soon to check out an entertainment center we found on craig$li$t. We want something smaller than what we have but built in such a way as to be more useful for the components we own. This one should work well for us and save some space while having room for everything in one place. We are going to put ours out for free to someone who could use it. Recycle, recycle...

I miss OT: Australia. I think I missed where it went and why

Ruby was quite a character - hopefully BSG will post a pic of her again

I give up. Who is Ruby? Photo please. So I can stop trying to imagine you making winter clothes for the neighborhood field mice.

This is Ruby.

SEE!?
She's learning how to set people on fire
But kudos to her for knowing German

Now I'm going to have birthday nightmares...boy, did you ever open a can of worms, Pardes.

Who remembers "My name is Talking Tina"?

[Zen]

Ooo- wasn't that a Twilight Zone episode?
ETA- Why, yes it was...

[crazycanuck]

Umm..i think that i live in the twilight zone some days

Ah, that was the unmatched voice of June Foray. She voiced so many different characters over the years. She is still alive as I understand.

Edit: Looked her up. She's 91 and still active. Incredible. Wow, I thought I caught her voice over the years here and there but she did a TON of characters that we all grew up with.

Still, she didn't do every character. Mel Blanc was another icon of voices... like this one.>>> (warning: cuss word. don't view at work.)

may I present this cinematic gem. I just wish they had been more imaginative with the title

From the bbc news web-site this morning...

'As with so much in the economy, that has several local knock-on effects, not just for construction industry jobs but to Falkirk football club. Keir Homes had to withdraw its sponsorship of the club's north stand and the team's shorts. '


On top of everything else, now I'm worried that my local football team will be playing without shorts

That mental image made me laugh out loud!
