This morning we watched GMA while eating breakfast and they
aired an ad for the CMA Awards tonight, calling it the biggest event in country
music, and I said to Carlos: “They call every country music awards show ‘the biggest event in country music’.” And he replied: “It’s all barbeque and square dancing and shirts with embroidered flowers and tight jeans and big belt buckles and trucks with giant tires.” I didn’t know he knew so much about country music … |

This Tuxedo Says is from Locked Down May 2020: “Leave it to The Great Tuxedo—Carlos hates that I call him that—to put things into a Gay Perspective ….”  |

In big news, Casa Bob y Carlos is officially paid off. Yes,
we paid off our mortgage last week and now completely own the homestead. Maybe we should move? |

Something for y'all to ponder: if Santa really knows when we
have been naughty or nice, then he knew that Rudolph was being bullied and he did nothing about it. |

Villa Vie Residences, a residential cruising line, launched its “Tour La Vie” offering travelers a customized journey for up to four years, to “skip forward,” and avoid The Felon’s second term. It’s just $40,000 per year— food, drinks, Wi-Fi, and housekeeping are included—and you will visit 425 ports across 140 countries. Any takers? |

Yesterday, Susan Smith who was convicted of murdering
her two sons, three-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander, in 1994 by
strapping them into their car seats, and rolling her car into John D. Long Lake
right here in South Carolina, was denied parole after serving nearly thirty years
in prison. At the time Smith claimed that a Black man had kidnapped her
sons during a carjacking. I do not believe in the Death Penalty ever, but I do think
Susan Smith should never be allowed to walk free again. |

Someone Tweeted this out in the wake of the election: "Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard and Marco Rubio are in a rowboat that’s sinking in the middle of a lake. You can only save one of them — who would you choose?" Henry Winkler, The Fonz in the '80s sitcom Happy Days, gave the best answer: "The boat." Snap. |

Warren Zeiders is an American country music singer and songwriter ... I sense a mini-theme today ... but this is really: Would You Hit It?  |

| Programming note: I have axed myself from the X as it has grown more and more hate- and lie-filled, and I have moved myself over to Bluesky. |
"“skip forward,” and avoid The Felon’s second term." You have me...I'm in!!!!!! Now will Warbucks foot that bill to help me compensate that? I'm mean... it's for my mental health, no?
ReplyDeleteAnd Carlos never fails to surprise and delight. And I don't recommend the glitter, with ten friends. It's hell getting it all off the sheets.
It's not terribly expensive to sail for four years, just 160K, so ... ?
DeleteCarlos is the gift that keeps on giving.
And you can never clean up all the glitter; never!
Congrats on paying off your mortgage! Are you going to have a mortgage-burning ceremony/party?
ReplyDeleteWe hadn't thought about that, but maybe on Friendsgiving next Friday we can do a ceremony!
DeleteCongratulations on paying off your mortgage! When people first take on a mortgage, it feels as though paying it off will last forever. To be debt-free is a great feeling.
ReplyDeleteOur mortgage was never really high, by comparison with friends, because we put down a large amount when we bought the house; still it's a nice sum of money to put into savings rather than paying out!
DeletePaying off your mortgage is like getting a big raise! As time goes on, you will realize how simply wonderful this is, especially since the value in your home will continue to grow! And I'm going to skip on Warren and his long hair.
ReplyDeleteI love a long-haired hottie!
DeleteAnd I love the debt-freedom of life these days!
Welcome to real home-ownership. I am waiting for the self driving truck to leave the good old boy, the next generation of country song. OJ spent years searching golf courses in Florida for the real killer, he might have avoided mirrors.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea for a new country song!!
DeleteCarlos needs to enter that description into Wikipedia STAT. It's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnd THAT is Santa?? And THAT'S a country music artist???? I am currently re-evaluating a lot of things and concentrating on Warren's thighs....
XOXO
Carlos killed me with that; as did Warren ....
Deletexoxo
And your Blue Sky name is? @kathieturner is mine

We paid off our mortgage back in February and it's a fantastic feeling! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteIt is good, right?
DeleteMatt Gaetz has withdrawn as the Orange Lump's AG pick!!
ReplyDeleteI just now read that. I hope they nail him now that he's out of the picture.
DeleteHubby and I talked about that 4-year cruise and mostly identified reasons not to. #1--kinda like fleeing to Canada and not being part of the solution. #2--how many times would the toilets back-up in a 4-year period? 🤮 #3--fear that the conversations among Trump-fleers would get stuck quickly on all Trump all the time. #4--This is the big one! "Accidental overboards," unexplained disappearances, and outright murders! No thank you!!
ReplyDelete🤣🥳 Allow me to be the 1st to announce Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from AG consideration!!
😻 Tuxedo is the one critter I know of who needed no glitter to shine brightly!! 🫶🥰
"Accidental overboards." 😁😁😁 Guilty!
DeleteCongrats on paying off the mortgage! What will you do with all of that extra cash each month?
ReplyDeleteSaving and investing. And getting a new kitchen!
DeleteSounds exciting!
DeleteIt's a nice feeling when you finally own your home outright. You should be safe and secure for the rest of your lives.
ReplyDeleteEven converting to our dollars, the $40,000 a year for the cruise is not bad at all.
I love the Winkler wisdom.
Zeiders would be ok, as long as he doesn't sing when I am around.
Warren actually has a nice voice though it mostly sings country!
DeleteCongratulations on paying off your mortgage! When I read that the “Fonz” would save the boat, I laughed out loud!
ReplyDeleteWinkler For The Win!
DeleteCongrats on Casa Bob y Carlos. Awesome news. 4 years on a cruise ship would be a lot but so will be the upcoming presidential term. The Fonz gave the only correct answer. Take care.
ReplyDeleteYou're right about The Fonz!
Delete1. love that the Thanksgiving Barbie is back
ReplyDelete2. Would I hit it? Uh...hell yeah!
I keep Barbie around just for this time of the year!
DeleteWarren is quite hit-able!
Congratulations on finishing up the mortgage! Now, just stay as long as you enjoy it and can keep up with the inevitable maintenance projects.

Truth!!! We may be looking at downsizing; it's a big house on a big lot and we're not getting any younger! 😁
DeleteI like the new header. Congrats on the mortgage, but don't move and have all the stress of a new mortgage.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way I'd take a four year cruise. 40 minutes maybe, on a ferry around the harbour.
Oh, if, or when, we move, we'll pay all cash for the new place.
DeleteCarlos summed up country music perfectly. Good answer, Henry Winkler. Congratulations on paying off your mortgage. That's something I will never do.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Carlos nailed it, and so did Henry.
DeleteYeah, we were excited to pay it off, though writing that last big check was painful!
xoxo
I wonder what’s next for Matt Gaetz now that he’s out as AG. Whatever happens, I imagine Trump will pardon him. I’m impressed and surprised by Carlos’ country music awareness. A definite maybe to Warren Zieders. Bless you, Henry Winkler.
ReplyDeleteI hope Matt Gaetz is arrested and imprisoned.
DeleteWho knew Carlos was country?
Who knew country, as in Warren, was a hottie?
Winkler nailed it!
So everyone is moving to Bluesky. And Trump is probably going to get rid of the EV rebate. Which will totally slow down people buying EV's. Musk kissing up to Trump seems to really have helped him.
