Happy Christmas morning everyone🤗

Did you get hubbie out of the bathroom Send?

MsM, I'm always astonished (and skeptical) when I read about the wonderful holiday buffets and activities that some people report getting at their facilities, the only ones I know of (even the "good" ones) are lot closer to the hoca than they are to the ritz.

I want a seat on the Brat Bus. 
My aunt loves Boston cake, which comes with walnuts in a bright box.  Our dog should not eat walnuts, and we told her.  She feeds him part of her cake each time.  I tried baking my own version without walnuts and slipping it in the bright box, but she won't eat it, so I stopped buying or baking cake.  Same goes with chocolate.  She gets nothing with chocolate in it.  The Dog rules, and I am suddenly deaf to complaints..

No chocolate? Now that is worse than bratty, that's practically evil🤣

Never any chocolate for dogs.
Welcome on the brat bus Grannie Annie, take your seat until we work out the ingredients in a Boston Cake, or Boston Creme Cake?? Can you help us out?
I will have any leftover chocolate.
Isn't there chocolate on a Boston Cake? No walnuts?
I must be confused...Boston Creme Cake? I am no Martha Stewart, and would not have a clue how to make this cake. But when chocolate is happening, I will be there!

It would be evil imo to deny Mom chocolate, can you let the dog outside for awhile? It is poisonous to dogs, however.

Chocolate has a chemical in it that mimics feelings of being in love. Can we all have more love?

Are we having that for the New Years Eve party?

Company was nice! Taking a page out of Gershun's holiday survival guide, we went late, left early. But not on purpose, there were getting to work time constraints, and the company met us at a busy restaurant, with a new waitress, her first day. Nervous people make me nervous.

My error...Boston Coffee Cake, some with walnuts, and some all chocolate with chocolate frosting and walnuts.  Dog outside is fine, but she saves some for him.  I guess I could hide the cake, serve her one slice while dog is out, and then just swipe the dish with leftover cake away from her when dog comes in.  She's real good with the evil eye.

Remember when swipe meant steal, and not something you do with a credit card?

Googled that! Boston Cakes, and entire company of delicious! Would have ordered some if I knew! Hubs would love them.

And swipe was when the cat would bat it's claw at the dog, I remember!

You have me thinking now...isn't swiping a credit card basically stealing anyway?
1) Consumers who do not pay their CC bill.
2) CC Companies loaning with exorbitant fees and interest.

My childhood Viking dog ate chocolate chip cookies and cracked open the Xmas walnuts

she also enjoyed a bit of garlic when she got sirloin as a treat and her McDonald’s hamburger had onions

This was 40 so years ago and she lived til nearly 15

did we know then that all these things are bad for dogs ?

Lately I feel like a brat constantly. I am a glorified cleaning lady/ personal slave. Well at least that's how I feel most of the time lately. I used to really enjoy hanging out with my friends, a disabled amputee veteran and his wife that has a history of brain cancer, strokes, lupus you name it. Now I clean and go home. She has beginning memory issues and he is diabetic and stubborn as he can be. I'm soooo tired of being told how to do the same things over and over. I am being treated like I'm stupid and don't have a lick of common sense. I DO HAVE COMMON SENSE. Everytime I go to work I find things that just piss me off. Lately they have had a roach issue so I remind constantly please dont leave dirty dishes in the sink, rinse them and put them in dishwasher. Please wipe up puddles of coffee, if you throw away food please put in grocery bag and tie it before you put in garbage can. Please do not put full urinal on dining room table. I could literally go on and on. I am ready to just throw in the towel and tell them to hire someone else.

MsMadge, no one told your dog he should get sick from eating that stuff. ;-)

Tammyrex, that situation can certainly bring out brat ideas and actions.

Costco is selling Godiva chocolate for Chinese New Year

It looks a lot like the box they were selling for Xmas except it has a red lid instead of a gold lid 🎁

I also got bagels and Danish for breakfast with the Viking

Chinese New Year, Feb. 2019
Year of the pig.
Will the chocolate last that long, MsMadge,?
Well, what I meant, if I bought it now, it would be gone by Feb.
If I saved it for Feb., it would be too old?

I was napping from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., then abruptly awakened by hubs. So I happened to be awake on a Saturday night. Likely, not for long.

You are always an amazing resource MsMadge!

My new years resolution is to get back on my low carb diet, that means I only have a couple of days to eat all the carbs currently in my house.

I had one really bad day the other day. Let me list all I ate: It started with two turtle chocolates for breakfast, then a big piece of garlic bread. Then half a bag of chips, Lay's rippled. Two pieces of shortbread (150 cal. ea.) A Snickers chocolate bar followed by a Kit Kat chocolate bar. Two more shortbread cookies. Two snack pack things with crackers, salami, cheese, followed by another shortbread biscuit.

Yep, yep, yep............!

Gershun did you get full?
My DH loves those chocolate pecan turtles.

No, I didn't.........that's the sad thing. I could have ate more. I love turtles.

Gershun, it sounds like a really, really bad day for you.  Sweets are the first thing I crave when emotional.  As a diabetic, I then have a sugar hangover next day.  Are you doing ok now?

Report

Wow. I could go with the 1/2 bag of chips, two pieces of shortbread, crackers salami and cheese, and a couple of squares of dark unsweetened chocolate. I can pig out on crackers and hummus, guacamole, liverwurst, etc. But then I need a carrot or celery. I'm not so much into sweets. Going against the trend as I know at my age many like more and more sweets.

Hope everyone is recovering from their various kinds of hangovers and ready to bring in the New Year with a veggie platter!!!🥕🥕🥕 😉

Now that's bad!!! 😲

Lol I need to bring in the New Year with some exercise to make up for eating all the sweets and carbs (love the Turtles too by the way)! Now whether I will actually do it is a different story...the best of intentions and all that. I told my husband I'm going to start doing some Sweatin to the Oldies again. Remember those? I actually still have it on VHS.

What is the origin of the phrase:
Happier New Year!
Have heard it twice now, is it going around? Is it new? Guessing that I like it.....

Wishing every brat here a Happier New Year!

Send; I just used that on a thread to a person who doesn't seem to be having a very good year (screaming hissy fitting gma with no filter). I'm sure I didn't invent it, it just seemed apt for the situation!

Yes, it is fitting.
