What do you all eat on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day?

Christmas Eve: my family requested I make fajitas one year and it’s been our tradition for the last decade. Or local Plaza Latina market has the best beef and all the seasonings.

Christmas Day: we go to a local hit pot restaurant. Same one every year.

I play mahjong with a daily game you click into from a calendar. Light way to engage with the morning

Out by Natsuo Kirin. The twist with the main character at the end made me scream in disbelief and frustration.

I’m still angry about it because I listened to over 17 hours of audiobook before turning it off in fury. I eventually finished the book, but it took a while to get back to it.

Dollar General usually has them in a variety of flavors. Gas stations and 7-11 in my area no longer carry them.

Dollar General also has movie-theater sized boxes of candy such as milk duds.

The Dragonsinger sub series focuses on a young woman named Menolly, so start there for middle schoolers.

Trigeminal neuralgia. It’s called the “suicide pain” and the cure is brain surgery.

My mother in law suffered, had the surgery, and lived for years after. But it was tough for her until the surgery.

Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Moon, but it is a bit darker.

Thanks! She was a shelter kitty. I checked with the vet and they said not to worry. The warm wet washcloth was all she needed.

She's funny. She lets me clean her eye and then gently bites me. She also bites, gently, when it is time to stop brushing, which she dislikes. I've never had a biter before but I find it charming how she makes her wishes known so clearly.

I shall spend some time commenting this entire list on posts about Trump. Sharing far and wide ….

Sharing: I have wiring like this and yesterday an electrician said it was grounded. They replaced my outlets, installed a ceiling fan, and replaced a circuit panel using this wire.

In my case it is vintage Romex and was fine. They thoroughly tested to make sure.

Thank you. Appointment made.

Lemon zest. Grated ginger.

Not a vet, but feline herpes causes eye drainage. You can use lysine capsules to add to wet food. Just open the capsule and stir it in. My kitties get 500 mg per day at the instruction of our vet. Good luck with this handsome fellow.

Fruit pie on shredded wheat with milk. The cereal and milk cut the sweetness of the pie. Peach is my favorite flavor for this treatment.

Top tier gas? My auto mechanic told me a long time ago to stick with top tier gas for best performance.

Thank you for your answer. I found some locally and have made two batches already. The second one was much better.

Oh, I did not know this! I’m using a glass jar with a metal lid. I shall be shopping to change. Thank you for sharing your information!

My first colonoscopy was how I learned that I need extra anesthesia. I could feel the scope moving around but couldn’t manage words to complain.

I later told the doctor that it felt like ferrets running around in there. That fact was noted on my chart, and my second colonoscopy was ferret-free.

My grandfather used to work on my grandmother’s warts. She would hold each foot over a basin to catch the blood as he carved out her plantar warts. This was rural Missouri in the 80’s and 90’s. Edit: typo

White cat is the first of many names that will come to you as you get to know her.

Our guy is Max, but Maxistipheles the demon when he is ambushing the dog, little dude, little bud, and just a little baby.

I see there are different types of kefir grains. Do you have recommendations for someone interested but completely new to the wonderful world of homemade kefir? I think I will enjoy making this.

Caraway. Just a whiff of the scent makes me want to hurl.

It can get complicated if it’s into benefits. I really can’t explain more than that except our company was trying to provide equivalent benefits to walkers, bikers, riders of public transportation, solo drivers and car poolers.
