The Coffee House

Gary and family are fine - 50 miles (and LA) between the fires and them.

Good to know, Charlie!

Rain and drizzle are still tracking through here, but it's supposed to clear out this afternoon. Still chilly, but hey - it's November! That part I have no problem with. Now that I have a real fireplace again (out with you, gas logs!) I'm looking forward to chilly nights. We're having a cord of wood delivered later this week (after the rain moves out). Hubby's in need of a chopping block.

Thank you for saying, and great to hear they are safe.

Tis a bit cool here. Little bitty ice balls fell followed by what could have been snow at work. There is a double window in front of me. I cannot see through it for the water on it. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

We have rain. off and on, as well. Might get a "wintry mix" on Thursday; my guess will be snow to the west and north of the city, rain t the east and south.

MLW did something to her back last night, so I stayed home with her. She was trying to get a carrot cake and tiramisu made for the Chief's birthday; so I'm doing the heavier mixing and helping out (I don't normally bake).

Here's a reverse to pull on your DW, we've all been there. Wife texts husband-

Wife: On your way home from office stop by the farmers market and pickup fresh vegetables.....And Linda says hi!

Husband: Linda who?

Wife: Nobody, just making sure you read my message.

Husband: Had me confused because I'm with Linda, so which one.

Wife: WTH! Where are you? You better have a good explanation. You're supposed to be at work.

Husband: Restaurant next to farmers market.

Wife: 15 mins later "WTH are you now? You're not at the restaurant.

Husband: course not I'm at the office, but since you're next to the farmers market don't forget to pickup the vegetables you wanted

Aw, you're very sweet to help like that! I've had to cook/bake while nursing an injury; it's not fun!

Um, no - "we" haven't all been there; I can assure you that I've never had such a silly exchange with my husband. I get that it's supposed to be funny, but the touche moment falls flat IMO.

It reminds me of a funny thing I read a little while ago, I can't remember the context but basically - a Mom was watching tv with her teenage son. He had left his phone on the kitchen counter but when he heard his text alert go off he got up to check his phone. It was a message from the mom saying "while you're up, can you get me some cookies and a glass of water?"

I have been waiting to catch Princess with that one. But of course her phone is never that far away...

Kind of along the same lines, but....

So you're saying the humour depends on which foot the joke's on?
