I don't want this to turn political, but I couldn't resist mentioning this.

Roy Moore is the former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court (twice), a former Etowah County Circuit Judge, and running for a senate seat in December. I'm sure most have heard about him.

Anyway, I know guys who went to school with him. (I actually know him, too, having been in his courtroom many times, in his chambers, etc. during one case many years ago). Anyway, there was this story that apparently is true. He was called on by his professor in school and he and the professor discussed the topics for an hour. At the end of the hour, the professor told him, "Mr. Moore, I've been teaching for 30 years. In all of my years of teaching, I've never encountered a student so mixed up and incapable of logical thought as you. I'm going to call you 'Fruit Salad' from now on."

And he did. The rest of the semester when he wanted to call on Moore, he'd say, "Fruit Salad," and expect him to answer, and he did.

So now I can't hear "Fruit Salad" without thinking of politics.

That's funny!!!

Hope that means a lot of blue skies and blue in the seats!

Just because it's been 3 days.....and Darrell should not be allowed to win ever! Don't know why, just seems that a lawyer should not win, unless he's representing me. :)

Lawyers always win. They play a different game than their clients!

Possibly unpopular opinion: I could go for some good fruitcake right now. Listening to Christmas music and it would hit the spot.

The Trappist monks in Gethsemani KY used to make an awesome fruitcake, the only one I've ever liked. My dad would lace it with bourbon. Yummmm

^Sure enough:

Now the $38 question (the cost for their smallest order): do I want fruitcake that much?

Wow. Are they that much now? Better come pre-laced lol.

They used to make the best aged cheese but I think they stopped.

I've always wanted to try one of those.....who needs my address to surprise me?

Good fruitcake is delicious. But most of it is awful. No in-between.

Rumor of snow next week here in the Commonwealth. Up for a dusting to make it festive.

When I rule the world and can control the weather, these will be the seasons:

Day after Thanksgiving-Dec 31: Winter
Jan 1-August 30: Spring
August 31-Labor Day: Summer
Day after Labor Day-Thanksgiving: Fall

How about:
Jan. 1st-Jan. 15th winter
Jan. 16th-March 31st cool spring
April 1st-June 30th warm spring
July 1st-Dec. 31st Autumn

9 years, 364 days until my next colonoscopy.

Should probably get one every year to be safe. OR every 3 months. You never know.

Hey, I don't need to be in medical clinics any more than is absolutely necessary. Actually, they pretty much banned me from the facility after I could not negotiate the hospital gown.

True story. I couldn't figure out the dang thing. I know that would shock you all, but my mind just doesn't work with things like that. They preferred me not be naked, so they put it on me, wished me well, and said "somebody else will see you in 10 years."

That's what I tell the cops when I get busted naked. Tell them I just couldn't figure out the belt buckle and the pants just fell down on their own.

I hear several prominent Hollywood directors and news anchors have used that one in the past as well, but in different circumstances.

So, I'm in the Chicago area for the weekend. Visiting my daughter and her family. They are getting ready to move so she put me up at her bosses guest house in Lake Forrest... Wow!!!

Not quite Snowpocalypse hype, but temps turning down here in the Bluegrass with weather guys talking about snow chances this weekend.

Ugh.

Got my milk, eggs, bread and syrup at the ready...

Aw man. Kroger is gonna be out before I get off work. No French toast for me tomorrow :(

Is this for the snow or just a kinky weekend?

Maybe a little of both...:evilgrin0007:

Winter starts in 15 days then the days will start getting longer. I'm tired of going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.

The old 2:55, right on time...

1:15 am

Worst night of sleep I've had in awhile.

I have started waking up before my alarm by about an hour. Thought it might be my circadian rhythm being tuned to winter life, but when the time changed in the fall my body adjusted with it. FML.

FWIW, this thread is what brings me back to this forum now that the Little Pool House thread is gone. I hang around for you peeps. 🤔

Mrs. BEvans decided she wanted to bring a ham to her office luncheon today. And she volunteered me to make it for her. So I was up at 4:30 getting it ready and putting it in the oven so it would be ready for her to take to work. I thought of all you insomniacs when I got out of bed.

Yeah, her co-workers aren't good enough for that level of ham. They get the Kroger special for .89/lb. :happy0001:
