The Drop in Centre

[Thorn Wilde]

On my way home from sharing a bottle of Chablis with my friend. Been a good evening, really. Though drinking half a bottle of wine on an empty stomach might not have been the best idea... 😅 How’s everyone doing this afternoon/evening?

[Brayon]

Was at the library, while the maid service was here to clean. My Uncle, a disabled veteran, called them as a test to see if it would be better to use a service, than the two of us doing a halfass job of it. Laptop ran out of juice, came home, they're still here. They're doing a great job.

 

So now on the tablet, while I wait for them to finished. Hoping my asthma doesn't act up.

After living this apartment for 9 years, and Michael like 15 or something... we were advised that we cannot have wreaths on the door. Seems its against the fire code. 🤔

that was wishful thinking,  Friday is probably a half day for you and start of the holiday break.

 It is the start of the holiday break, but we go a full day!!! 

PSA for you: wear a neck brace for the whiplash this weather we’re having brings.

🥶 to 🌴(well almost)  

 

oh I thought I hit send.. This was floating.

Hehe... i both know and love this word ...

 

tchotchke    noun | CHAHCH-kuh

Definition

: knickknack, trinket

 

Just as trinkets can dress up your shelves or coffee table, many words for "miscellaneous objects" or "nondescript junk" decorate our language. Knickknack, doodad, gewgaw, and whatnot are some of the more common ones. While many such words are of unknown origin, we know that tchotchke comes from the Yiddish tshatshke of the same meaning, and ultimately from a now-obsolete Polish word, czaczko. Tchotchke is a pretty popular word these days, but it wasn't commonly used in English until the 1970s.

That's a WTF, moment. I'd be like, "So it was fine for the past 15 years? Ok, which PC asshole complained?"

Any Sir.. wreaths, flowers, doormats, door knockers etc... we hung ours in the kitchen window.  I'm sure they will be around to tell us we cannot do that..

[Mikiesboy]

That's pure bullshit. I would have words with someone if they did that. Angry emoji is for them ruining the holidays.

So that huge Frankenmonster in the lobby for Halloween was not? 

 

Im just mad because there is so much to bring people down around the holidays and anytime, really,  the simplicity of a door decoration should not be a thing.

Make a wreath out of condoms and bows. If you're told to remove it, at least you'll have shocked the nimwit who snitched on you.

They made them take all that down .. they made them remove the the little sofas and chairs in the lobby .. for some reason they can have a fire proof tree down there...
