For a number of reasons that won't be resolved by bitching.
My small shelter put in cameras because people are leaving dogs on the grounds after hours. Seems those pets adopted during covid when landlords were prevented from evicting tenants and the government paid the rents, now have to follow the no pet rules that they broke. So these poor pets are abandoned and not understanding why. With the cameras in place, the dogs will probably be left out in the country, alone, scared, no food, no shelter, winter coming and I am sick about this. I often wonder where the pets owned by the millions that crossed our border this year are now.

We had no one here for Thanksgiving, which was fine with me. Ravioli and meatballs were better than a bird. I love peanut butter but cannot indulge, not even a teaspoon. But mixed with cream cheese and powdered sugar and cool whip, I have no problem getting that dessert down. Yes the graham cracker crust makes it better but that's more fat and carbs. Spooned into dessert dishes and drizzled with chocolate, peanuts, crushed grahams (or not) is always the easiest way to serve.
My hubby spent part of the day using the old deck boards to make boxes that will secure my outdoor wire twig trees. I love them! The wood is sopping wet even after three days. The idiot that installed the sewer system and destroyed the septic tank (state mandated) broke it into large pieces without filling voids so we now have a cave-in beneath the deck that holds rain and snow. Landscaper has not shown or delivered the fill so we built over it and that's it. We're so disgusted with it all that we don't even care anymore.
There's so much more to be riled about but I have another two weeks before it actually happens. And my lung scan is in 10 days. Fingers crossed.
Paisley is very close to finished. The ecru was a little too stark so I found an unmarked skein (per Missy) that is perfect, it may be 712.
Sorry for the crabbing. It's leaking out because the ocean crabs live in will develop into a tsunami soon. And I can't swim. But there is always something to be thankful for, and whether boat or raft or inner tube, I will find something to keep me afloat.
Hope your turkey was tender!!

Oh, it's terrible. My daughter is a vet tech, and the head vet at the clinic calls those dogs adopted during the "pandemic" Covid-terrors, because so many idiots adopted "puppers" whose only job and duty was to look cute for Instagram while in lockdown. No discipline, no training whatsoever, so they're horribly misbehaved, unsocialized, and aggressive. There have been more bite injuries to vet staff in the past couple years than a decade before the 2020 freakout.
The behavioral euthanasias have started to slow down-- where the dogs are just so awful to live with their owners want rid of them and they're unadoptable because my area is so flooded with "rescue" pitbull mixes transported from the South that no one wants an older dog who bites the family, attacks the neighbors, barks for 12 hours straight, and shits on the floor.
The local rescue has raised the cost of surrendering an animal because they are overloaded with discarded dogs.
And my other daughter just acquired two more cats. She is the greenhouse manager for a farming operation, and when the Mexicans went back to Oaxaca, they just tossed their pets (3 cats and a dog) out the door and left. Out in the cold, no food, water, shelter. Fortunately for the cats, my daughter found them all homes. The dog was claimed to be "lab-collie mix", but DNA proved it was mostly pitbull (most of these mixes that rescues claim are this-that-or-the-other-thing are, in fact mostly pit.) It went to a shelter once it was rounded up, but there are 2,000 other unwanted pit-mixes in the shelters already, so.
The good news is, my daughter raised hell with the farm owner, and he will not be re-hiring those Mexicans in the spring.
The same here with animals bought during covid and now left alone somewhere in the wood or lonely roads.
Love the wooden boxe for your tree Mark has made.
Take care and enjoy your stitching...Truus from Holland
Hahaha ! Love the griping !
It is so much fun to read from here !
Those are some of the best posts, please don't stop !
Thank You !
Ravioli and meatballs sound yummy! Not a fan of turkey; much prefer chicken which is what was served at my parents. Love the look of the wood box, Marly. Happy Saturday!
Way back when news of so many animals being adopted when covid began, I was already wondering how many would be without homes once things began to return to normal. I'm sad to be so right.
I like the box Mark made! I'm wondering if I can figure out a way to make something to hold the tree in an old butter churn crock this year? Even better if I could get it done using scraps of wood in the garage. That desert does sound tasty, I'll have to see if I can find (or fake?) a recipe for it.
I'm glad you enjoyed a nice quiet peaceful Thanksgiving, and hope you can find ways to keep from stewing too much over whatever it is that is supposed to happen in 2 weeks. And over your test.
My heart breaks for all the dogs adopted during the Covid madness. What we are seeing is not unexpected but still gut wrenching.
Your dessert sounds so yummy. You should share a little more of your recipe so we know how much of what to add.
Great box Mark made!!!
So sad with these pets just being turned out, we have a dairy farm and are experiencing alot of cats being dumped right now and the dumb bunnies are throwing them out with flea collars on,so these poor animals could get hung up in brush or something and get strangled makes me so damn mad. Your dessert sounds very good.
