watching a show called longmire on netflix...  takes place in montana or somewhere.. it's pretty good.. much diff from stuff i usually get to watch ... left alone in the afternoon with netflix access.    It's about this rather interesting man... who is the sheriff of a town or area, however it's done out there.  but i like it.

That is a good show. I stopped watching it, though... not sure why. Maybe I'll pick it up again.

 

I recently finished a mini-series called 'Night Manager', on Prime. Based on a John Le Carre novel (an author I love) starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie. Espionage, intrigue, suspense. I really enjoyed it.

Was it on PBS? That went under my radar. I usually watch Masterpiece Mysteries.

such a good show!

started on A&E was cancelled and the outcry from fans was deafening so Netflix picked it up.

Same happened with the Expanse and SYFY. Just SYFY didn't own the show, they leased it. Even with great rating Live, OnDemand, and DVR, and they still axed the show.

It's on Amazon Prime now, for the seasons that were out. Not sure where it will be now for new episodes, though the producers were in talks with Amazon.

Michael will be home soon and expecting His boy to have done his chores, which he is a bit tardy doing.  And He will also want His dinner.. see you later.

Just woke up in the armchair with a cat on my chest and a cat at my feet and drool on my chin. Didn't even know I'd fallen asleep. I am pathetic when I'm sick. 

 

Also, snow's closing in.

i think we can all relate to that Sir.  that's why Michael sent me to bed yesterday morning.. passing out in my chair... no cat however!

Last evening after dinner I woke in my recliner sometime in the middle of the movie I remember turning on, with my daughters pup curled up next to me with her head in my lap.

Kitty snuggles are always good. There's medical proof, that the purr from a cat, can speed healing to in injured areas.

Michael's folks have the cat from hell.  She hates everyone...you cannot touch her.. and she sits there staring at you like you're her next meal.  Beautiful thing, but scary.

Talking to tim and BB about a place that my characters will be going to, and I happened to click on the link for the restaurant. 

 

I'm wanting a Pimento Cheese sandwich now.

this just broke my heart ... this should be enough to make gun control a thing ... honestly anyone who owns or buys one should be ashamed of themselves..  babies should not be writing wills.. fuck

Hello, DiCsters. I'm supposed to be working today, but this cold morphed into something harsher, so I'm at home, for now. Sounds like you all had pleasant holidays, glad to hear it. I'll be happier once New Year's is over. Flying out to LA to meet my niece.

Sorry you're having a difficult time. I know the Holidays are not good for everyone. That's something to look forward to meeting your niece.

You know how I feel about it.  No one needs a handgun or an automatic weapon. Registered hunting rifles if you hunt, or have property/animals to protect outside of a city I understand. The rest I do not. What a horrible thing for kids to go through.  We have lock downs here as well sadly but not on this level.  I cannot imagine getting a copy of a will written by a frightened child.

This should never be a thing. Yet, sadly, every students faces lockdowns at school anymore. I went to a benefit concert a couple of months ago, not an anti-gun rally, but an anti-gun-violence rally, and there were guest speakers, Columbine survivors talking about the aftermath, kids as young as 3rd grade talking about their personal experiences, their daily fears, hiding in school closets thinking today's the day I'm going to die at the hand of a stranger, a neighbor, a peer. It's effed up in every way.

The heart is for a thank you, not for your allergies. I'll keep the cats away from you, girl.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

Hi everyone! How's everyone doing? I hope the holidays have been treating everyone well and that you have been able to see your loved ones and family (blood or chosen).

My... hmmm idk what his family relation is but I'mma call him cousin now for simplicity sake. He has a cat similar to that. He just got the kitten a couple days ago and the other cats in his house are terrified of it for some reason, but it looks so fluffly and adorable!

the silent majority needs to open their mouths ... how any parent or decent human being can think this is okay is beyond me.

It's becoming a global problem. I teach now (as a substitute this year, but hopefully a full-time position next year) and one of the things we have to do is a monthly emergency drill. In November I got called in and we had to do a complete lockdown drill, so we went through what each of the three stages of lockdown would look like. I think the students were freaked out when they saw someone they didn't know actually walk by our classroom during the drill; the staff knew but the students weren't aware of the drill that day. Society shouldn't accept that this sort of thing becomes a normal part of a child's life.

So aggravating. And arming teachers is NOT the solution! Ugh.
