@Marty, will be happy about that! lol

You know how hard it is to hold my mouse to my pc when a nerve in your hand twitches and your whole hand moves? That is the weirdest feeling I have ever felt before! And seeing it moving when I wasn't doing the moving on my own!

And no I am not CRAZY! lol

I wouldn't say poor guy. He was on his phone the whole time looking at stuff on it. He does it all the time and does not even think about if anyone else needs in there. I needed to do some work in there since the bathroom is attached to a bedroom I have a desk in there to do work on. I had all the stuff I needed to get Christmas presents I needed to finish in there before tomorrow so I could give them to my sister and brother. Then after 4 hours he got out and then my stepson went in there and stayed for an hour! Geeze, I will be up all night just getting everything done now.

Surely there are more comfortable seats in the house?

Took me awhile to get my sister's Christmas present ready for her to take to her new apartment since she is moving out of town. All I have to do is put in a bag with tissue! will see her tomorrow (Sunday).

I also got my brother and his wife, and her daughter something and have to put it in a bag. He is helping our sister move the rest of her stuff out of her house she sold tomorrow so I will see him then to give to him. All I have to do is clean the frame of the picture I got him and put the rest of the stuff in a bag and the picture is too big for a bag. I am giving him also for Christmas 2 classic hardback books that belonged to our dad and a couple of other things.

I am giving my nephew and his wife a painting my sister painted me of  milk can (was her first painting she ever did) and a painting of my baby brother painted of a dog and cat he did in 1980. Have to clean them up first though. And yes my sister and brother actually drew them before they painted them. Then I am giving them some money for Hadley Ray, their newborn daughter to buy her something they haven't received yet since I did not get to go to their baby shower. 

Then fill out each card and put in bags with colorful tissue paper! I will be busy in the morning before my stepson, his friend and I go there to help load stuff by noon. 

Good night everyone! 🛏️😴

Jiminy cricket, Gary!  

That's one huge toilet you have there! The monolith was around twelve foot tall...

Just how big a dump do you need to take???

I know some people call the bathroom a "reading room", but good grief, when someone stays in there for 2 hours then that is ridiculous! I even asked if he fell in and he said, "it looks like it"! I came back at him with, "Are you swimming for your life"? He started laughing and is still in there after 30 minutes after that short conversation!

When I was a child, my eldest brother (5 years my senior) almost always took a book with him when he went for a bath, especially in the winter months when it would be too cold in the unheated upstairs bedroom for reading. We were a big family, and I think he was just using the bathroom as somewhere he could read in peace and quiet. However, he couldn't stay too long, as the hot water tank depended upon the back boiler from the living room fire, and the bath water would cool down eventually.

Some time in the mid-1950's mam found the money to have an electric immersion heater installed. Worried about running up a huge bill for the electricity, she warned us all that we weren't to use it unnecessarily, or leave it switched on too long. Suddenly my brother's time spent in the bath tub started to become much, much longer. Indeed, once or twice I even spotted him taking two books in with him.

When the electricity bills suddenly started to get a good bit higher than expected, mam realised that he was simply leaving the immersion heater turned on whenever he went for a bath. And, if the bath water cooled down too much, he would simply pull the plug to let some of it drain away, and then top up with more hot water.

Mam finished up paying an electrician to move the switch for the immersion heater from inside the bathroom to the living room!

Y'all notice I didn't try layin' a claim ...

I did, surely!

But I assumed that was simply because there wasn't so much as a square millimetre of plaid to be seen....

Mayhap there are.

But do they offer the same privacy?

Hmmm....

Nice suds there. The carbolic soap we had when I was a child would never produce a lather like that....

Howdy y'all! Today's my sister's birthday and while she may be 28, she asked that her birthday be celebrated with a tea party. I'm sure my seven year old niece will be happy about that too, lol.
