USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Foxfyre]

Speaking of birthdays. . .

As mentioned some time back, Xenforo doesn't have a means of showing birthdays like V-Bulletin does so when USMB switched over we lost access to everybody's birthdays.

To date I have birthdates for Coffee Shoppers for:

Sherry

Daisy the Mutt (not really a Coffee Shopper but close enough. )

Nosmo King

gallantwarrior

Sfc Ollie

Hombre

CeeCee

Ringel

Dajjal

007

BigBlackDog

Spoonman (whatever happened to him?)

Ernie S.

ChrisL

Peach174

Foxfyre

Montrovant

Gracie

WelfareQueen

Hossfly

Kat

AgainSheila

Pogo

And provisional birthdates for
Divine Wind
Ringel05
Saveliberty
(I think we're close but don't have their exact dates.)

If you are a Coffee Shopper and don't see your name on this list, please post the month and day only of your birthdate here or PM it to me so I can get you on the list.

Kinda looks photoshopped.

Turns out there's a video.

Watch as fire burns inside hollow tree - CNN Video

Had to find it on YouTube, CNN wanted me to accept their ads first..........

You must have a stricter ad-block going than I do.

Just AdBlocker Plus. This anti-adblocker move many sites are adopting is relatively new, CNN may have just put it up.

I have AdBlocker Plus too but it didn't ask me to disable it. Or maybe I already did at CNN? Who knows.

The wife was born on a Friday the 13th but not in October..........

The wildfires are terrible, but you can find beauty in them, as well.....

Just AdBlocker Plus. This anti-adblocker move many sites are adopting is relatively new, CNN may have just put it up.

I also use ABP. Sometimes a pop-up comes up asking me to whitelist, but I just click it off and continue, at least with CNN.com and some other sites.

 

[Montrovant]

I was born on the 13th. Not a Friday though. I do have birthdays that fall on Fri 13th. Boo.

Pfft, you think that's scary? I was born in Amityville.

Well, I wasn't born in the house, of course, just in the town.

 

[Hossfly]

Not a birthday but an anniversary of sorts. I met my wife in a coffee shop in Munich, Germany 58 years ago today. My first words to her were "When are we getting married?" She said, "You're crazy." We've been married over 56 years. I'm still crazy. Can't be tamed.

That's what I did but it blocked out the video.

Just made tuna casserole but used spaghetti squash instead of noodles. Twas wonderful!!!

 

[Ridgerunner]

I wonder what kind of tree that is when the outside isn't burning.

GW I am not the sharpest Arborist by along shot but, it looks like a White Ash to me. This video is from Ca. and Ash trees are primarily native to the Eastern part of the US. So I maybe blowing smoke up some ones trunk...

More likely it's either a Fremont or Black Cottonwood and I'd be more inclined to say Fremont.

I've grown quite fond of spaghetti squash as a noodle substitute. It's actually pretty tasty. I've also accumulated quite a few recipes using pumpkin, too. Pumpkin, not just for pies...

We have black cottonwood up here, it's also called balsam popular. I use the early buds to make balm of gilead.

Seriously?

 

[ChrisL]

I just heard the death toll is up to 35 from the CA fires, and also hundreds of people are missing. What a terrible disaster.

Yes. Really terrible.

 

[Foxfyre]

Seriously?

But does that mean I won't be getting a birthdate from you?
