He’s very sweet, well-trained. Not full grown yet, probably be a large size (I can’t tell the breed). Afraid of doors though.

I am glad you and pup have found each other.

If it doesnt come in a box that says Awry's, its not dessert. Is that the greatest name for a bakery or what? "My dessert has gone awry!" Its the michigan version of the saying, have your cake and eat it too.

Remember Bill Knapps 's? Might be a michigan thing. An out of state coworker found they served warm apple pie with their own cinnamon ice cream. This was late 70's. So good.

I like prunes. I did not understand the rest. I have never been to Michigan that I know of. If I drove through it, I forgot it immediately

Aww @@ I'm glad the pup made his way to you, he's lucky to have you and I hope he's a comfort to you as well.

I have decided to give my old drumming group a try again, just signed up for a Zoom thing this coming Monday evening. I'll never know if they've settled down politically unless I go see, right? I noticed on the meetup description of this one, they used one of my poems I had written during a Zoom meeting and shared. That made me feel good.

Garden? Loam dog?

Eta - thank you for applauding my loam uh i mean lame jokes. Oops i did it again! Without even trying! Its a gift - and a curse!

velcro003 · Sep 14, 2021 at 09:12 PM

Now I'm curious what are all the ugly details of your visit, Artie!

This makes me happy, but you need to fork over the dog tax. We need pics.

Oh hey we missed our grrrl's 10th anniversary on here this month! You guys woulda liked it back then. i actually thought i could get thru to SD with my infinite charm and psychological wisdom. An waddyaknow, ten yrs later, she got thru to me. I see the error of my ways and the aerie of hers. A toast!

@@, I agree with NP, we need pup pictures!

Apple crisp is the very best, mostly because making a pie crust is not necessary. I make mine with oats and pecans.

una, if you have never had a marionberry, you must visit the PNW. They're like blackberries, only not.

Art, I hope you send some drumming vibes toward the Couch.

unaluna · Sep 15, 2021 at 01:21 AM

Re marionberry - i think it happened in the reagan years? I will check. But its like it was so shocking for us boomers at the time. We still saw mayors etc as paternal figures. Bill Clinton playing a saxophone changed everything!

LostOnTheTrail · Sep 15, 2021 at 02:27 AM

Pictures are always appreciated when a dog is mentioned.

For one of my freelance contracts, I have to deal with (and correct) APA references. I really just don't understand the period after the date in parentheses. It's not in any other reference style I work with. At least they removed the requirement for the publisher location in the latest update.

I had an endocrinology appointment. Good endocrinologist in multiple ways because I have plenty of reasons to mistrust medical providers. I need a bunch of tests, had like 7 vials of blood drawn. Should know results pretty soon - 2 or 3 days.
