Anyone bother with Prince Philip this year?

I have a FB freind who keeps saying this 'road of censorship' we're on is dangerous. She keep yelling Trump is being censored and when I point out that even the definition of the word in the dictionary includes an authority, she ignores me and says it's still censorship. According to her, it's also censorship when every TV channel doesn't go live to trump whenever he speaks anywhere on anything.
By these standards, I'm being censored by the MSM

It's a big thing to leave furniture and what not in a parking space to save it in some big cities but I chose to live in the south where two inches of snow closes the whole city down for the day.
They do this in Pittsburgh when it snows. They put their dining room chairs in street spaces after they shovel out their own parking spots. People learn; respect the chair

OMHG SPAM BUY IT!!!!!
I have to get serious about moving. My complex dropped month-to-month payments ad made us all sign new leases. Mine is 10 months and I will NOT sign a new one here. I have to start selling and packing shit.

The craziest in the crowd definitely dressed like the most rabid NFL fans. I hope somebody in law enforcement was taking notes.
A couple dozen home grown crays also breached the gates at the WA State Governor's mansion and much like the Capitol idiots, had no idea what to do once they got in.
Nice plans.

Before he got banned, Trump unfollowed Pence on Twitter. That made me laugh really hard.
The fake bromance is SO over

I will watch all of those formula Hallmark movies and enjoy them at least once. The Christmas Card is still a fave and anything with Lindy Booth is worth it to me. I also like the one with Columbo as a magical angel . The only thing the above Bingo card is missing-the movies star either Lindy Booth, Candace Cameron Bure or Danica Keller. I like Elf and am sort of meh on Will Ferrell. I like every version of A Christmas Carol. I watched a film called Christmas Story (made in Finland) this year that gave a new/old spin on where Santa Claus came from. I love odd holiday films but not so odd as crap like Santa Claus and the martians. Animated is a plus. I saw Arthur Christmas a few times last year and couldn't find it for free this year and missed seeing it
Christmas Eve is my favorite day of the year. Colored or clear lights top my holiday joy list. I also love the food and drink and the abandonment of reasonable portions and meal times. I even love fruitcake, but it has to be good fruitcake that sets you on your lips and hardly anyone makes it this way any more-it's a pet peeve of mine that people disparage fruitcake but have probably never had a good slice.
I love most Christmas music but agree any version of the Little Drummer Boy is vile-and YES EVEN the Bowie Bing version-its just a stoopid song. I hate the Christians think they invented and own the season. But I grew up Roman Catholic so I can't separate the religious stuff from the secular. My nativities have kitties and sci fi charatcters in them and my holiday Buzz Lightyear looms over all. I love lights on the outsides of homes but do not care for those air-inflatables.
Wrapping is one of my favorite things about the holidays. I spend time color-co-ordinating themes each year and probably end up wrapping everything a bit too much in my zeal to create the perfect looking package. I use about 8X the ribbon normal people use. My gifts look like sea creatures with many arms and legs.
One thing I don't like about Christmas-Rudolph. He is NOT an original reindeer. The story is one of sheer abuse and exploitation-his parents and even Santa Claus SHAME HIM for a nose he was born with. What the fuck kind of Christmas shit is THAT? Then when they figure out they can USE HIM because of his nose, he's the star quarterback! I'd have told Jolly old St Nick to take his sleigh and shove it! What kind of story is this to tell the children on the holiday?? And Rudolph is a stoopid name.
I'm also PISSED that when we say Scrooge, it's to analogize misers and mean people. DAMN, what's a guy gotta DO for redemption? Even the freak reindeer got a break at the holidays! This guy endures seeing four straight out GHOSTS one Christmas eve, just for not giving to charity. And the shit they put him through? Show him his beloved sister dying in childbirth again, the loss of his Belle because of his avarice, then drag him through being privvy to what others think of him in the present day-I mean he has to hear it from their lips! THEN he gets burned alive in a cold grave? He becomes the best keeper of Christmas ever, gives Cratchit a fat raise, supplies the holiday feast for his family ON Christmas day ( do you know how much that cab alone would have cost??) and saves Tiny Tim's gatdammed LIFE, but we still scowl when we say his name. Why did the deer get a pass but Scrooge gets kicked to the curb? WHY BOTHER REPENTING
Cookies are my second favorite thing about the holidays. I love those chocolate crackle things with powdered sugar on them and the little sugar cookies you press Hershey's kisses into best. If you're going to make a normal cookie like Chocolate Chip or Snickerdoodles, they had better be holiday special, like colored sugars in red and green or two kinds of chocolate 'chips' or I will mock you. I don't personally like coconut but appreciate the sight of coconut flaked pastries.
Dinner-I'm down with anything from Turkey to tofu and anything with tiny marshmallows in it. One of my favorite simple dessert holiday pleasures was the Christmas jell-O my 2nd ex husband's Mom used to make. Green and red jell-O with a middle layer for cream cheesey goodness. I never got the recipe for that.

FUCKED. UP. There is no excuse for this.

so, do your 2 bouts feel the same to you? How are you faring now?

Since I don't have kids or much of a family, I've asked a friend's kid to take care of me in my old age and she has agreed to. I want to load up on life insurance policies to make her rich when I finally kick. I don't want any heroic measures and hope she doesn't really have to DO anything but sign me into a home once my mind has gone, completely.

For me, aging is only a bother because of the things I can't do like I did when I was in my 20s, like drink. It takes much longer to get a buzz and by the time i do, I'm ready to pass out. And a really good time takes more than 2 days of active care to recover. SO not worth it .
And time goes faster the older you get. The 90s seem like they just happened MAYBE 10 years ago to me. I feel 40 something, not 62. I LOOK 89.

This blows.
Two of my good friends (in Colorado) also now have it. He went to a concert-I'm not sure if he told her at first. He's a Trump fan so I suspect he didn't think it was a big deal. I love the dude and don't want him to suffer but I'm pissed.

I volunteer to slap and/or kill Icyhot's stoopid co-worker.

For me, an album can't be called great on one hit song. As much as I'm meh on the Eagles, I'd say Hotel CA is a great album. It spawned three hit singles and doesn't have an unrecognizable tune on it. Joe Walsh meshed so well with the band and enhanced their sound. And they had a theme for the album that was laced well throughout the songs. AND it charted twice because of a re-release. Not many bands have pulled off all of this with one album, let alone many.
I've never been a big fan of Metallica so I can't say about them.
Other albums I'd call great: AC/DC Back in Black, Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Steely Dan's Aja

I had no idea that people would quote Sleepless in Seattle. I’m now left pondering what they would quote. “My wife died.” “He’s got allergies.” ??? Hmm... “they knew it” is prolly one, I guess. I would have thought someone quoting Frasier’s “tossed salad and scrambled eggs” or “hello, Seattle, I’m listening” would be more a thing.
"It was like...magic"
"You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie"
“It’s easier to be killed by a terrorist than it is to find a husband over the age of 40.”
'That statistic is not true.'
'Didn’t you see ‘Fatal Attraction?'
I don't get it, either. Fraser isn't big here.

My last Aunt died of COVID over the weekend. My Dad's whole family is now gone-like they were never here. It's odd

Yeah, that cat's been assembled incorrectly. You've voided your warranty
You got some of those virusesses?
