Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.
Welcome on the brat bus Grannie Annie, take your seat until we work out the ingredients in a Boston Cake, or Boston Creme Cake?? Can you help us out?
I will have any leftover chocolate.
Isn't there chocolate on a Boston Cake? No walnuts?
I must be confused...Boston Creme Cake? I am no Martha Stewart, and would not have a clue how to make this cake. But when chocolate is happening, I will be there!
It would be evil imo to deny Mom chocolate, can you let the dog outside for awhile? It is poisonous to dogs, however.
Chocolate has a chemical in it that mimics feelings of being in love. Can we all have more love?
Are we having that for the New Years Eve party?
My aunt loves Boston cake, which comes with walnuts in a bright box. Our dog should not eat walnuts, and we told her. She feeds him part of her cake each time. I tried baking my own version without walnuts and slipping it in the bright box, but she won't eat it, so I stopped buying or baking cake. Same goes with chocolate. She gets nothing with chocolate in it. The Dog rules, and I am suddenly deaf to complaints..
Company is coming tomorrow.
Did you get hubbie out of the bathroom Send?
MsM, I'm always astonished (and skeptical) when I read about the wonderful holiday buffets and activities that some people report getting at their facilities, the only ones I know of (even the "good" ones) are lot closer to the hoca than they are to the ritz.
what a Xmas eve
short staffed - no surprise
dinner looked like Chun king out of a can
but when I went to get creamer for coffee
I found a resident
bare bottomed asleep on the floor
fa la la la la
Somehow, I already knew that I would be spending Christmas Eve alone.
No worries though, the space under the door is big enough to slide in his dinner.
As usual, dinner is going to be late. Much later.
Merry Christmas Brats!
will not deter true brats from posting here during Christmas!
We will be handing out pieces of coal to the baddest behaviors, and the Grinch may make an appearance to give the caregiver awards, if you are bad enough!
I can't seem to find the symbol I think you were referring to Send😉
Maybe you would be banned for using any finger other than the thumb.
Trader Joes has a recipe for eggnog: "We spiked Trader Joe's Egg Nog ($2.99) with Buffalo Trace bourbon ($25), Courvoisier VSOP cognac ($36), Appleton Estate Reserve rum ($38), and combinations thereof. For each drink, we used one part liquor for every five parts eggnog, a ratio we decided upon in a pre-taste test trial run."
So, yes Santa, rum.
adding eggnog to shopping list
Joyeaux Noel means Merry Christmas.
Also, do you have a POA for your dad's medical and financial affairs? If not, the caseworker may be able to help with referral to legal resources for getting guardianship as well.
I would definitely contact them and see what assistance they can provide.
my kind of sister act 🎰
Big black pick-up truck comes speeding up just as we are crossing to the parking lot.
He was in a big big hurry, but stopped just 10 feet from us. We stood still after taking a few steps backwards.
Looking over, he was still stopped, and signalled for us to cross in front of him.
Lol. Hesitating, taking our time. I looked at hubs.
Pulled his arm to back up just a bit more, as we slunk behind the pylon of the building, the driver could no longer see us.
The truck driver yelled, "It,'s okay, you can cross now!" We do not move.
He shouted out again, repeat. Lol, I am laughing more now, as the driver feels obligated to wait.
He waited some more....then sped on his way.
As he passed by, ho ho ho........I cannot believe I enjoyed that so very much.
I was influenced by the movie, Grinch.
The ones making the noise and haste are behaving badly.
The loud and aggressive persons are badly too.
And graceully surrendering the things of youth could get pretty brutal.
That isn't a very "behaving badly" poem, though. haha
Thanks for sharing. I hadn't come across that before and I like it very much.
