Thursday night Halloween open thread


 

Happy Halloween, all.

As I've said before, we don't get many/any kids on my street, so I don't expect tonight to be any different. I have seen a lot of people in costume (including my chiropractor, who dressed up as a lemur), and I saw something large and bright green moving past the bottom of street where there's a high school. No idea what that was.

Yes, folks, it's almost the end of the week and the dark magicks of Teh Stoopid World have built up to a boiling point. What's got you flaying mad and ready to throw fire?

Happy Halloween, Morning Open Thread!

 

I was planning on a quick history of Halloween, but it droned on and on.  Instead have pets in costumes.

Sunday Dinner OT


 It's full-on Fall at this point, which means the freshly sharpened pencil smell has faded a bit and report cards are on the horizon. Young Codco once didn't hand in her assignments for French class, received an F but intercepted the mailed mid-term report before the elder Codcos saw it. By the end of term, I'd sorted myself out and somehow got away with it. Anyone else pull report card shananigans?


The next week may be a little stressful, what with everything, so here are some photos from a book about knitting sweaters for dogs.   


I just want to snuggle them all and their handsome sweaters.

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.

Good morning, all. Hope you have a lovely day.

It's turned into a nice bright, but cold day; I had to break out the winter coat to walk the dog. Cleared a file box of bills. Some are now filed, and some will be shredded. Made a dental appointment for a check up, and called my credit union to see if the 2025 pocket planners are in (they are). In addition to getting my blood work done this morning, I think that's a fair bit done.

What about everyone else?

Hey, y'all, it's time for that sweet blaurghy release. What's got you banging your head against a thing lately?

Sunday evening 🐰T

 

It's been nice weather and good conditions for napping all weekend. I've been drinking plenty of liquids and resting my voice. 

The critters have been a little more active.

Adorable babies being adorable.

 Welcome to another edition of Fur Face Friday! Last week the fur faces were on their best behavior. This week they showed us their mischievous side.

At this point, I'll be mulling over the meeting with our municipal and provincial representatives about our small neighbourhood issue. At the time of composing this post, I have no idea what they will have to say, but I kind of feel like I'm being called into the principal's office for a shellacking. I don't think it's that at all, in reality. It's more likely "Here's the deal we've been able to broker". We'll see.

Boone has been stealing from the counter again today. I don't want to crate him, but I may have to.

Yup. It's one day shy of the weekend and time to kick out a little world-weary aggression. Let it all out, folks.

Goes great if you try to fit it between 2nd Breakfast and Elevenses.
