Hi, Ms. Madge.
Had no idea when I woke up this morning, spreading Good Mornings to everyone on the Whine thread. This must be just another coincidence in my life.
Hello! everyone!
Avatar : JOY....Just joking, CWillie, JOY is last year's decorations, and we would not add music.
I still think that waiting to decorate for Christmas could be better appreciated if people could WAIT, until at least AFTER Thanksgiving. There are some lighted and flashing decorations in our neighborhood that only offer temptations.
Temptations to give out those addresses to vandals. (Just joking). Nah, no, not that. Maybe people are just trying to get this year over sooner by decorating sooner and sooner?
Ah...uhm.....I mean, uh..... Bah Humbug!
So..........this year, I need to change my mindset. Christmas will be decorating the tree with hubs, keep shopping to a minimum and just try to keep in mind that there will be quite a few families this year with an empty space at their table where once a beloved person sat, so maybe let bygones be bygones and try to appreciate my family (faults and all). Easier said than done sometimes, but at least I'll try.
I have eclectic taste but I am old fashioned with Christmas decorations. I absolutely detest those huge blow up characters! Who wants to see a Santa on steroids? LOL
I like white Christmas lights that look like twinkling stars. I like evergreen Christmas wreaths.
Since Mardi Gras is canceled to the COVID-19, there was a woman uptown who was sad and decided to decorate her house like a float!
It’s catching on in different neighborhoods and someone started a Facebook page.
New Orleans loves carnival season and the Mardi Gras spirit is still alive and going strong!
If Mardi Gras wasn’t canceled I would be on St. Charles Ave. and Napoleon to watch the Rex parade on Mardi Gras day.
Krewes spend tons of money on their throws. Some are going to do a ‘scavenger hunt’ where people can look for them. Others will stash them away for a future parade.
My cat used to jump in the Christmas tree too. She had a blast shaking all of the ornaments off. I wasn’t thrilled about finding the mess that she created.
She was the sweetest cat. I miss her. She lived a long time, 16 years.
That’s when I started putting up an artificial tree too.
It was for the best anyway because real trees bother my allergies.
I remember growing up our cats at the time used to eat the icicles. There they'd be walking around with icicles coming out of their butts.🙀
So no more icicles!
My cat had a field day with the satin ornaments. She would lie on her back holding the satin balls between her paws and rip the satin balls to shreds. I had red satin thread everywhere!
Cats! You know what they say? We live with them, instead of them living with us.
She was feisty and playful until shortly before she died. It’s been many years since she died but I still miss her. She had such a cute personality.
The funniest memory I have of her is when I accidentally closed my sock drawer with her inside of it. Hahaha, she kept meowing and I couldn’t find her.
Finally, I looked in the sock drawer and she jumped out like a Jack in the Box!
They are independent creatures, aren’t they. I happen to like their aloof attitude.
Some people think that cats aren’t affectionate. They are affectionate but only on their terms!
The icicles stories are funny!
I don’t remember my cat eating any icicles.
My cat decided one day not to use the litter box. She preferred going outside.
I kept her litter box very clean but she started going to the bathroom in the yard and never returned to using a litter box.
I don’t remember seeing icicles in the yard. Maybe if they were there the birds stole them to help build their nests! Hahaha 🤣
But I'm not complaining. 😊

I've seen some articles with inferences that aren't founded or documented. As yet I haven't seen anything I'd rely on addressing the side effect issue, which is one reason why I'd like to read the article itself, and judge whether or not the sources and those quoted are knowledgeable enough to make critical observations.
Searching online brings up a lot of garbage, especially depending on the search engine. It wouldn't surprise me to find a Google search that brings up hits for Pinterest; search results aren't always based on reliability as they used to be.
But don't quote me. Like I said it was just a google article.
