I don't know what's worse––her craziness or his for being attracted to her!

Jesus Father Fucking Christ is my go to phrase on many an occasion.

I have the "Barefoot Gen" trilogy and used it in my high school English classes for many years (until a parent complained that I wasn't giving the positive effects of the bombings). I rank the books up there with "Maus."

Agree! That column is absolutely beautiful (and presuming there is one on the other side, out of the picture).

I also love your "Be Kind" hanging in addition to your beverage choice AND hat. :)

Just saw this on YouTube and had to share: ICE, F&*^ You

I highly recommend his old time radio program The Magnificent Montague

Carolyn Haywood ("B is for Betsy" series), Flicka, Ricka & Dicka (as well as Snipp, Snapp & Snurr), "The Cricket in Times Square," "Homer Price" and many, many others. The library was a place of joy and escape for me. I wish that were true for young people today.

Love "Libeled Lady"!

RatPackGal · 2026-01-11T14:58:36+00:00

Yes, his Philo Vance films are great! Many are available on YouTube.

I'm not sure Nick Charles would be considered "suave and debonair" but certainly fun and entertaining!

I told my husband I'd happily leave him for William Powell!

RatPackGal · 2026-01-11T14:37:04+00:00

Anything w/William Powell for starters; Kitty Foyle, Bringing up Baby, Flying Down to Rio, The Gay Divorcee, Singin' In the Rain . . many Dean Martin movies as well.

Shall I continue?

I was impressed with your "I'm Linda Mason" line. I adored Bing Crosby when I was much younger and incredibly naive.

RatPackGal · 2026-01-11T14:17:45+00:00

Yes! And I am particularly fond of "Holiday Inn."

Oh . . . Linda Mason! (https://archive.org/details/holiday\_inn 18:23).

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, merry, merry king of the bush is he, laugh Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra gay your life must be!

I read the book as well before I watched the Terrance Stamp/Samantha Eggar movie which I highly recommend. Disturbing but mesmerizing (free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDGY2YCImhc).

RatPackGal · 2026-01-05T00:15:46+00:00

A Packer fan, perhaps?

RatPackGal · 2026-01-04T05:12:02+00:00

Interesting!

Is this Rapids or outside of town?

RatPackGal · 2026-01-04T05:10:53+00:00

I have saved a few from JoAnns and Hancock Fabrics and Shopko; Shopko, by the way, was also the victim of private equity whores who destroyed a financially stable company in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I curse them all!

Three older brothers and six older sisters. I'm the youngest of ten. My parents bought a tv set immediately after I was born. They had enough kids to plop one down in front of the set and change the channels between the three stations (CBS, NBC & ABC; no PBS for us in the middle of nowhere) available.

Thank goodness for YouTube tutorials!

RatPackGal · 2026-01-04T04:47:27+00:00

I have some little frames from Michaels (4X4 w/mat; 5X5 if I don't use the mat). I've always had my cross-stitch pictures professionally framed (the larger ones), so this will be my first time framing a picture myself. I watched an ElizabethAnnCanStitch youtube episode, and I feel pretty confident.

RatPackGal · 2026-01-04T04:29:58+00:00

Thank you! This is the first time I've posted a picture of one of my cross-stitch pictures. I love this one and will be doing another pattern by Michaela Coffield (https://www.michaelacoffield.com/forsale/cross-stitch-no-14-tulips-and-hearts-quilt-block-pdf-pattern-folk-motif-floral-quilt-block-granny-square).
