Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
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 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.
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.
Ah...uhm.....I mean, uh..... Bah Humbug!
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?
Hi, Ms. Madge.
Scroll up where you can choose "Newest first" or "Oldest first".
Click on "Oldest first", and there she is!

I don't like Daylight Savings time,but it is nice getting to sleep in alittle longer~
I have a confession to make. As a kid I used to try to twitch my nose to do magic! Hahaha 😂.
I also wanted my own Genie. I used to watch ‘I Dream of Jeannie.’ Both were cute shows.
Mother made chili bean casserole and jello in the shape of pumpkins every year too and our house was covered in decorations.
Mother was always a "Crazy Lady" or 'Lady GaGa" and I was always a rabbit every Halloween and
We usually had over 75 to 100 trick or treaters and so much fun.
This year the lights are off.Covid's here and Mother's gone.
It's my 5th Halloween without my sweet monster,Mother.
Inside the home made chili concoction was a hidden poached egg.
A trick, and a treat all in one. 🍳
Still, that's a good reminder that there are gremlins out there.
When I woke up this morning, it was a surprise that this was halloween!
If anything happens, they will get marshmallow rice crispies snacks, fig newton bars, or individual apple juice or grape juice boxes. But those are for our emergency go-bags. 🐤😱👌
Hi Ms. Madge! We understand if you are no longer posting, but thought you to be a really good person. Miss you!
