Today's Tids Issue 3,472
Opening Stuff:
It’s
time to peel potatoes, and break apart the bread,
For this mammoth meal, you can’t be too far ahead!
Dump cranberries into jello to make the colorful
mold
Have plenty of butter, to make sure big bird turns
gold,
Create a wonderful cheese sauce to douse the
cauliflower.
Make the pies, set the table, patiently wait for
the hour,
When you boil potatoes and whip them smooth and
wavy.
Then load your plate, meat and veggies; slather it
with gravy.
Bow your heads, look around at all the beautiful faces
there,
Then thank God for them all with a Thanksgiving prayer!
I
see where Turkey wants to get into the act for T-Day
week, but there has to be a more productive way than shooting down a Russian jet.
Figure Putin is thinking now about squashing them gobbling up a couple of acres
of Turkey territory.
Dancing
with the Stars is coming down to those precious few
last moments before the awarding the 21st Mirror Ball Trophy, and a
lot of fans are very upset at the surprise ouster of Carlos PenaVega and
partner Whitney Carson (Two consecutive weeks of perfect scores). It now comes
down to Brindl Irwin and Alek Skarlatos. My sense is that Irwin will take it.
But, after last night’s upset, who knows.
The
Question:
Name all of the members of the Wyeth family who
are painters.

The
Voice last night had a couple of very good
performances namely, to me, Jeffery Austin whose voice and control is amazing, and
Emily Ann Roberts, who really does the country thing like a country gal should.
I also liked Zach Seabaugh and think he will do well even though critics don’t seem
to like him. Technically, Madi Davis and Jordan Smith are outstanding, but I
didn’t like their songs last nght and found them a little underwhelming. Korin Bukowski
looked better with dark hair again and sang pretty well most of the Time. Amy Vachal is unique and quite good at what
she does. As the contest winds down, the demo that likes her style will be too
small to push her along. Evan McKeel opened well and was pretty much flawless
with a pretty tune. Barrett Baber, on the other hand, was all over the place
with Delta Dawn and a disappointment. I think Shleby Brown is a powerful singer
who should have had a better song last night. It became a shouting match,
thought she shouted well. And then there is Braden Sunshine who doesn’t appeal
to me, but who has a voice that can be pretty good. So who goes? If it was just
me, it would be Barrett or Sunshine. But, unfortunately, it may be Korin, mainly
because somebody has to go, and cute guys go last.
For
young men, there’s a shirt company called “Untuckit.
Which grows money like on trees, so you can pluck-it.
Now that men wear garments hanging outside
The owner is building a great house on Nantucket!
That
poem
also rhymes with suck it. Sometimes I try too hard.
Personally
I am a tucked in guy.
Lose
your identity on Social Media, Department:
A Weather Woman on a Dallas TV station found a
great $23 deal on Amazon for a dress she thought was cool. She wore it on
camera, then tweeted out to her network of Meteorologists across the country,
and over fifty of them also bought it and wore it. Now it has become a hot item
for the obedient masses and is on back order until after Christmas. Personally
I think it is real ugly, but who cares as long as you can be part of a trend.
I
hear a lot of people saying, “I wish Christie was
making more headway in the polls.” I guess there aren’t enough of them.
The
worst traffic jam in the country is in Chicago. The
next five worst places are in LA. While those places are real in terms of
ongoing long time tie-ups, much about traffic messes is generally in the eye of
the beholder. I remember once after my wondeful sister from Metro NYC was up
here in Providence driving her son to look for an apartment, came back to my house
and her first words were, “You have a radio traffic reporter here? Why?”
The
Parking Lot: Chapter 30 continues…
Jeremiah
eyes opened momentarily after the slap, but he quickly slid back into the
lifeless gaze. Massatta began to perspire herself as fear for her husband began
to overtake he normally calm demeanor. She was now looking around for comfort
for herself, as she ran along side the men carrying her husband, never
releasing the pressure from the wound.
As the
men lay Jeremiah on the bed, three women came over with hot wet compresses and pressed
them down on the wound after removing Massatta’s near paralyzed arm and the
blood drenched cloth. Her mother-in-law pulled her aside and held her in her arms.
The two women who shared the love of this son, this husband, now were consoling
each other, with Eliza offering encouragement to a stunned Massatta.
Richard
ran in carrying Jeremiah and Massatta’s satchel of papers, and quickly stowed them
on the upper room shelf, “How does he look,” he half grunted lifting the heavy bulk
upward over his head.
“He doesn’t
look great, “whispered Massatta.
“But, it
is too early to tell anything, because it has been all panic so far,” added
Eliza, who gave her husband an encouraging look.
Richard walked over and put his arms around both
of the women, “He’s tough. We just have to wait and hope.” He looked at
them and he could see they were worried,
as was he. “Howland is in the locked shed, and old Ned is watching him just in case
word gets back to some of the Howland people.”
Massatta
was thinking of her ftaher’s reaction.
The
Answer:
NC Wyeth was then first of the Artistic family. He
and his wife Carolyn Bockius produced several talented children of whom Andrew
was the best known, but the sisters Henriette (Hurd), Carolyn, and Ann (McCoy) became
successful artists. Another brother Nathaniel became an engineer and worked on
the Dupont team that invented the plastic soda bottle. Andrew’s Son Jamie is the
other great Wyeth painter.
Well,
it is nice and sunny and wonderfully chilly here. It’s about time. I was getting
tired of all that comfortable warmth.
