I rememb...Hey Kerry, thanks for stopping in today!<br /><br />I remember the first time I heard the Eagles. A friend of mine was going crazy about them being on the Midnight Special and we all had to watch it. Yes, they impressed me then and continue to do so. Hate that a reunion tour now has to take place in Rock 'n Roll Heaven, instead of here.<br /><br />Canada is hip. It has Bryan Adams ... right? Okay, so I made a bad joke from the friends at South Park. My bad. :)<br /><br />I honestly can't remember the last time I watched the Oscars, either. They hold nothing of value for me, so I tend to ignore them, even though my wife seems somewhat infatuated with them.<br /><br />Am really glad you like this. I've toyed with the idea of ceasing it, but then again, it's fun to do sometimes. Other times it seems like the same old stuff over and over. I guess that's life, though! lol<br /><br />Again, thanks so much for commenting. I do enjoy when you do. Many Thanks!Richard Rumplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15478732756685966429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-38767017310149552072016-01-25T10:58:13.995-05:002016-01-25T10:58:13.995-05:00Can always count on your TToT posts to let me know...Can always count on your TToT posts to let me know what's going on in the world.<br />:-)<br />I wasn't around during the 70s, but I love The Eagles too. Great music.<br />Yes, why does that woman even bother opening her big mouth anyway? There was an article I write about in my TToT post this week about how Canada is now hip because of our new younger prime minister, but I think we're never going to beat you guys in hipness.<br />:-)<br />Especially because we don't have her and we don't have Trump.<br />Awww, dearn!<br />Yes, there is a panic over snow and most times it is unwarranted. It does suck to lose power and have nothing in the house to eat, but these days it is easy to order pizza, as you say.<br />I don't watch The Oscars. Boring and I fall asleep. Still there's always such a flury around this time of year, and it's definitely not for the day of my birth, which also happens to be in February around the same time.<br />I usually write about current events and things making the news in a separate post I like to call In The News and On My Mind, but occasionally a story will make it into my thankful post.

Yet, he seems to be a big hit with the uneducated populace that feel the need to do away with big government and take back control from the politically correct. He says much that worries me, but as much as I hate to admit it, some of it makes a little sense. I can't say that I'd vote for the man (or any other of the current candidates of either party), but it will be interesting to see how far he gets. Let's just hope it's not all the way.<br /><br />Good to see you, again!

You are correct with t...Lisa, how good to see you!<br /><br />You are correct with the "pickle and pimento loaf" title. I actually saw some the other day at the grocery after writing this and that is its official name. We always shortened it up to simply Pimento Loaf at my house. It was indeed a horrid concoction whipped up by satirical manufacturers to see how far they could push the limits of the human taste buds. <br /><br />There have been so many times in my early life that I was hungry that the thought of doing without food for a few days really doesn't bother me much. Besides, having a 4WD vehicle eases the worry about being stuck for long. :)<br /><br />Hope you had a great breakfast!

I don't ...Christine, so good to see you again!<br /><br />I don't doubt your friend's findings at all. I used to wear halter boots years ago (they had the straps encircling the bottom with round metal rings on the sides for the straps to hook onto.) I always carried a switchblade inside the boot when I was overseas. Coming back, I'd forgotten to remove the switchblade. The guard came over, ran the metal detector over the boot, saw the metal ring, and gave me back the boots. I boarded just fine with the knife the rest of the way. lol<br /><br />I didn't watch much television last week and missed most of the Sarah Palin hoodoo. I figured it had been the topic for most of the late night hosts, so I pretty much left it alone. Still, it is just too good to forget about. :)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by.

And, Yes, it is as bad as it sounds.<br /><br />We ended up getting 12 inches of snow this weekend. The temperatures are supposed to be well above freezing this week so it should all have melted by next weekend. If this is it, I'll be very happy. I just don't have the ability to go out and shovel snow as I once could.<br /><br />Have a great week!

I remember picking out some of the things in it when served, which used to drive them crazy. Since moving out of their home decades ago, I've never indulged in the vile stuff since. lol<br /><br />Things at my Dad's house are getting better, but my physical state is still a pain. I just had to stop typing a few minutes until the tingling vibrations stopped in my left arm and hand. The chiropractor seems somewhat stunned that it hasn't gotten better as quickly as he seemed to predict. I'll just keep truckin' until it does.<br /><br />Many Thanks!

He also liked olive loaf. I find both completely vile and perplexing. <br />As for the pre-snow milk-break-eggs panic, it's a real thing, isn't it? And I don't get it. Never did. Milk, bread, and eggs, are not things that I generally lack in my kitchen, just because. And if I was lacking them, I don't suspect that I would have a sudden need for them just because it was about to snow. You know what I mean? <br />All that said, in this particular snowstorm scenario, I did discover that I needed to buy eggs and bread, at least, because of what we planned to make for snow day breakfast - Eggs Benedict! I'm more apt to worry about whether we have enough coffee, popcorn, that sort of thing. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-71435292746202238022016-01-24T17:32:19.936-05:002016-01-24T17:32:19.936-05:00Have to say this, when it looks like someone is go...Have to say this, when it looks like someone is going to be stranded here the men like to get their grog in can't live without their grog...............lol<br /><br />Never heard of Pimento loaf<br /> Jo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431865736422930321.post-87256709444720632802016-01-24T16:41:46.822-05:002016-01-24T16:41:46.822-05:00I had to look up Pimento loaf too . . .

Happy flying! :/<br /><br />I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all of the comedians having a field day with Sarah Palin's endorsement. I think Colbert's is my favorite so far.

Pimento loaf was a staple when we were growing up as it was my fathers favorite. So I used to have to make all the lunches for school or work the next day . God forbid if you had pissed me off because my dog also loved pimento loaf and got to lick the sandwiches of anyone who happened to anger me. eek!Probably reason for my vegetarianism today...Hope things are improving ... and slowing down from last week. :) IvyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11630958840521397718noreply@blogger.com
