Yesterday was the shortest day for the year for all of us in the northern hemisphere.
So now we're on a journey towards endless summer.

To all of you on the southern hemisphere: my condolences.

They get a double whammy. Not only is it their summer, but we're closer to the sun this time of year.

nope....
as of right now all the cookies in my house are store bought :confused:
there's still time to bake some though right?
I think so. But you don’t want the ones I bake. Still recovering from the great baking fiasco of 2004. Also known as Cookiegeddon.

today is the 200th anniversary of the publication of a poem sent anonymously to a newspaper called the Troy Sentinel in Troy, NY (very near to where i was married).

it was called "An Account of a Visit From Saint Nicholas". you may have heard of it; it begins, 'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house...

it's commonly attributed to Clement Clark Moore, but the authorship was disputed, and to my mind, is still in question. the whole thing was super sketchy!

you can see copies of the original online, and two of the reindeer bore the names, Dunder and Blixem, which is old Dutch for thunder and lightning. Dunder maybe should have been Donder? (that's how i learned it in the olden days, lol), and eventually the German Donner and Blitzen were substituted. because, apparently, the Dutch can't have nice things. :D

and that, dear friends, is what my two youngest daughters call, "useless trivia with mom" :geek:

Hey, how come people don't have dip for dinner? Why is it always a snack? Why can't it be a meal, you know? I don't understand stuff like that.

I like this. This is a nice job of thinking outside the box. Another related question: why not chocolate cake for breakfast? It's got the 4 basic food groups covered...yummy, tasty, delicious, and chocolate.

the last word obviates the three adjectives :p
I'm using adjectives as nouns...they are a adjetivnominatives. The great thing I learned from homeschooling is I can make up my own part of speech derivatives.

Well I can't take credit for it... it's a deep thought by David Puddy. But, it is "miscellaneous".

Everything about Seinfeld is miscellaneous. It's a show about nothing.

And yet... everything!

Dip, quirky neighbors, relationships (sort of), psychological maladjustedness, faith (the kavorka), self-control (the contest), death, birth, circumcision, sports, movies... you name it, it's there!
