On Jubilee Street there was a girl named B. She had a history but she had no past.

Tuesday Evening Typie-Talkie

Yes, tis the dreaded Tuesday. Did anyone get Tuesday'd? Or was your day surprisingly unTuesdayish?

I know she's living there. And she loves me to this day. I still can't remember where I lost my way.

Happy Monday Open Thread - It's a Waning Crescent Moon Tonight

(Actually typing this on Friday, November 26th, when the phase of the moon is waning gibbous)

Taking care

 

We all see the world a little differently. It’s what makes us unique. Share your personal views on things as we discuss a new topic every Monday

Monday Morning Open Thread

 

 

Good morning, folks, and welcome to another joyous Monday. I am sure you are all feeling bright eyed and bushy-tailed - NOT. And yet, here we are. So, you know, just climb up and say howdy, or go nuts and tell us whatever you want.

Sunday evening!

 Today went fast! 

I had fun at the neighbourhood shinny game this morning. It was the first Sunday the outdoor rink was open, so it was lovely to see all my hockey pals. There was no shinny last year, so it was a pretty good turn out! The snow made things interesting because it both slowed and often hid the puck. 

Share your weekend adventures below. Ready for the week? Taking it easy tonight? Or still rushing around like me, making dinner, lunches, and finishing up work for tomorrow?

The Photo Gallery

  It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

You guys SNOW (Sunday Snow-tee)

 Sorry, got excited this morning and couldn't wait. Should you wish to post the One True OT, please do so! 

 The snow gods have answered our prayers! Skiing and skating in the park later! Woot! I hope if you're getting snow today, that it's the beautiful fluffy kind, and that you can stay home and enjoy it through a window if that is your wish.

 Good evening.

So was your Thanksgiving fulfilling? Or for some, your average Thursday? Any food highlights? I kinda wish I had gotten a decadent chocolate cake instead of an apple pie.

If there's already been some Haruki Murakami film adaptations, I haven't seen them, so I'm interested in this.

Haruki Murakami’s vivid stories would seem ideal for big-screen adaptations but they actually rarely succeed. The new drama “Drive My Car” is one of the few exceptions. Murakami and the director Ryusuke Hamaguchi explain the challenges. https://t.co/rmlqSLPkL1

Fur Face Friday

 Hello and welcome! This is the magical place where adorable Fur Faces gather for us to adore them. There was a simply wonderful collection of friends in last week's comments - you can revisit them here if you like!

Critter strikes a pose!

In case you're new here, favorites are chosen by one of the Snout Selectors (facw, k2b, Hannibal, leahaven, Iroqdemic and myopicprophet), entirely on our own whimsy. WHIMSY! However, in the interest of solidarity, we try to select one dog picture and one cat picture (minimum!) each week. Other pets will also, of course, be considered. We love all your rats, bunnies, ferrets, and other furry, feathery, and finny pals. WE WILL NEVER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST CUTE

 Happy Thanksgiving to the USians!

I got mostly nothing, but have a fox, and a fox toy. This is from Save a fox, a fox rescue group, and these foxes cannot be released into the wild, so they live at this refuge.

 Morning, all. I slept in and it was awesome. What's the plan for the day?

OT Eve; Wednesday

The big US Turkey Day is rapidly approaching! Or has it already happened? 14 years out of the country now and I'm all farblunget. Who's got what planned? Who's madly rushing around with last-minute preparations? Who really doesn't give a fook and staying in front of the tv screen with a bag of Doritos?

Hellooooooo??? Good morning, all. Stop and say hey and stuff.

So has Tuesday left you enervated? Feeling like you've been going in circles? Or just relaxing with friends or family (pets of course included)? Gab away about it here.

Hey howdy, all you peeps. Monday is happening again, though there may be a bit more weekimus interruptus for those of us in the States-us. Ye gods, how to I stop thus? I mean this? I mean this:

It is Beautiful Day, Absurdity Day, and Peanut Butter Fudge Day. Other days may be available. Only 35 days to Christmas.

Fur Face Friday

Welcome to Fur Face Friday. The US is preparing to observe Thanksgiving next week. So we at Fur Face Central have asked our animal friends to express what they are most grateful for this year.

This beautiful deer appreciates the oats and love received from C'estLavie.

Thursday evening open thread

 I've had my share of bad neighbours; the ones who nearly burned our attached houses down, the one who threatened to assault me at 3 a.m., and of course, the most recent people who never cleaned up after their dogs. The new owner said that the dog crap was a solid 6 inches deep in the yard.

Good evening (EST)! Today is Remembrance Sunday in the UK, and many of us were observing either Veterans or Remembrance Day this week, so I thought poppies would be seasonal.
