She's only nineteen... she'll learn.  

Only?! Isn't your son much older? 27 would be better for him, right? 😏

So you now need to see if you can train your son's girlfriend to actually remember to tell Cookie to 'Stay'...? 

That would require getting her to look up from her phone.   I don't have the energy.

How can you be sure Marty hmmmm

Careful now, young Albert!

Otherwise I may have to put a @ in front of Myr's name to make him aware of what you're saying about the GA staff. 

Then he might just come in here with the whips and chains and get all dominatrix-y with you.

Back from the weekend away  The little girl is still waking up 1 to 2 times at night at 1 year old to have a bottle! But she's adorable and not afraid to go from one person's arms to another's, even though she had never saw us before.

Gentlemen? Don't know whether all of us deserve that title, clo...

But thanks for the comment on the pic. Thought it was time I stopped being invisible.

(It's actually from 2006, so a bit out of date. I have my hair in a pony tail these days)

Yep it gives you that slightly mad look

Much as I would prefer a live tree I have an artificial one I don't wish to kill a tree

Artificial trees are made of plastic which comes from oil. A live tree is grown for this purpose and when you cut one, another will be planted which will absorb the CO2 from disposing of the live tree. You have to use your artificial tree for more than 10 years in order to leave smaller carbon footprint than with using a live tree every year.

You could always buy a rooted one in a pot, and plant it out somewhere after christmas...

Unless it's pot grown and small, those trees rarely survive.

I use an artificial tree as well. I only know about the place that sells trees north of me because they have a huge sign advertising when they open, and the price. Seems pretty steep to me, but they have what looks like thousands of trees, and they been in operation for many years.

Exactly, it's no different than any other horticultural crop. Of course, if they removed natural forests areas to grow Christmas trees it would be different, but Xmas tree farms are usually made on agricultural land.

Thanks, Timothy.

Saved me from having to look up the figures about the carbon footprints of artificial christmas trees. And I suspect that figure of ten years probably doesn't take into account the fact that many of those trees are made in distant parts of the world, and have to be transported long distances to where they are being sold.

Another suspicion of mine is that many people do not realise that a proper rotation of crops like trees is actually carbon neutral...

I told you all GA news... ***BOTH EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL***  A one stop News Outlet...😄😊

But how much of it is true, and how much is fake news?

Well, Marty the odds are in our favor... If only half is true...🤔 that means it's still 100% better than world news..."THINK ABOUT IT...!!!"😶😶🤣🤣

Do I have to?

Someone once told me we are only allowed so many thoughts in our lives.

Wouldn't want to use all mine up too soon.

[Marty]

Right, gang!

It's just turned 6:00 pm here. About four hours of sunlight left, and it's a beautiful day out.

Should be getting some real interplay of light and shadow soon. I think it's time to take TN out for a while.

Maybe chat yous all later.

My tree was made from 100 percent recycled plastic... I bought it from Canadian Tire about twenty years ago, after years of using my own trees from my property.
