Southerners usualy say melk or mee-ulk when the southern or Texas dialect is so strong that there is no such thing as a one-syllable word.
O-h, that is hep full.

Aw! Thanks so much, Sherry.Today is my birthday too. That's why Mom is cooking dinner. I asked for coffee and cake, but my sins will be punished on the dinner plateTonight I am the mom everyone will be joining for dinnerAfter a week of heavy snow and cripplingly cold temperatures, we finally made it to the park for a walk yesterday. Daisy the Mutt took full advantage, running headlong into the plowed snow at the edge of the roads only to emerge caked in snow. Walking a miniature poodle in the snow is like dragging a Q-Tip through the snow. Gobs of the stuff the size of golf balls clung to her curly fur. Snow packed its way across every crevasse on her thirteen pound frame. And she enjoyed it thoroughly. All I could see was two dark eyes, a black tip of her nose and a pink tongue hanging from her smiling mouth.
When we got back in the car, she began chewing the snow off of herself the way a four year old eats an ice cream cone, with intensity and no regard for drips.
So, I consider her cleaned by frolic and frozen water. Tonight is dinner at Mom's. The whole family will be there. She is serving roast beef. Mom does not like meat. Not that she's a vegetarian, but the taste of beef or pork or mutton just turns her off. Consequently, she over cooks every cut of meat that comes across her threshold. All flavor, all juices and any semblance to tenderness must be eradicated by force of heat. I was in college when I discovered that roast beef actually has a flavor. I always used a vat of Worchestershire sauce to impart some taste to Mom's roast beef.
And so, the tradition continues tonight.
My sons birthday today and a standing rib roast is on the menu. I love a house full of everyone, makes me miss the old days when I was needed on a daily basis. Now I just show off I still cook the best and can afford the most. An abundance food is the way to celebrate in my world
Happy Birthday, Nosmo

I say my.My kha. My khakis.
I must be an anomaly. I have one cat that likes to sleep on my head, and the mini-dog sleeps at my feet. I'm still waiting for my "teddy cat" to come forward, the one who sleeps in my arms like a teddy bear. There's something soporific about a purring pussy cat...Pretties used to do that. I finally got her to get the drift she can sleep in my lap..not my chest. Miss her.![]()
I can't sleep with an animal on me. I have to have my space bubble, especially when I'm sleeping. I move around way too much. I've sent my share of cats flying across the room with my feet in the middle of night when I've been half asleep. Lol. Must be quite the rude awakening for them.
Our cat likes to sleep between my legs. That can be very annoying when I try to turn.
You have to carefully pull one leg up to your chest and then turn and slowly return the leg to its new position.
Y'all better stay away from Alabama if you don't like grits. You can walk into a coffee shop and order a piece of pie and the waitress will ask you if you want cheese on your grits.I made a pizza last night and added mushrooms, black olives, swiss cheese, salsa and then extra mozzarella, cooked on the Pizzazz. It was delicious.I like just plain tea normally. I also really LOVE Chinese tea though. I put TONS of sugar in it.I've tried putting honey in as a substitute for sugar, but it's just not sugary enough for me. Tea with peanut butter toast. I like that for comfort food when I don't feel well.
Mrs. Liberty had tea and peanut butter toast for breakfast for years. Until she linked very dry itchy cracked bleeding hands in the winter to a peanut allergy.
Thankfully, I have no allergies that I'm aware of. If I was allergic to peanuts, I would be so bummed out!
My aunt is allergic to eggs. That tends to be a huge problem because so many things have eggs as an ingredient.
I have no food allergies either. I'll eat just about anything but grits and rutabaga.
This scene was in Wazoo, Beechum County, Alabama
My man cave is in my garage/shop. Best place for it, because it's near all my tools.My "man cave" is a place where I can set up my table saw, radial arm saw, and other relevant equipment needed to complete various projects. Most people call said cave "garage". It works for me, though.Woman cave. Ours are cleaner and smell better than yours. No boys ALLOWED!

But there's nothing to DO there! Well, I suppose you could use it like monkey bars.....![]()
Sure there is. Lie down and read a book.Monkey bars could be fun too though. Lol.
Bah, you can lie down and read in a normal room! The cave is supposed to be where you put things to do.![]()
I've always used Adobe Photoshop since I could get it for free from my son. I think Adobe is the Rolls Royce of photo editing and illustrating. When I messed my laptop up and had to reinstall W7, I lost the Adobe Photoshop I had installed on it, but I found this online and it's basically the same thing, free too...Have any of you folks ever used Acorn 4 photo editing software? If so, what's your opinion of it? Inquiring minds want to know.

It might not be so bad if I weren't under the covers with the cat on top of the covers.![]()
The cat must be moved very carefully so as not to awaken it. You, the bed for the cat, do not count.
If I tried to move Pretties, she would hiss and then bite me. Hard. I got to where I would just say MOVE and she would wake up, stretch, glare at me but still move. However, if I did it without saying it...HISSS BITE.
I still miss her sassy ass.
Depends on the size of the dogs. Our 3 are 12 to 17 pounds. They all get out of the way pretty quick when one of us roll over.You have to carefully pull one leg up to your chest and then turn and slowly return the leg to its new position.
Needs a bigger table, but that would doI think this grill should be installed outside those man caves ya'll were posting while ago:

If the cat really bites me.....she'll be lucky if I just push her off of the bed.I can deal with playful biting during the day, but if I'm woken up by a bite, I'm probably going to kick her right off the bed.

And I use GIMP.Sorry, BBD. I sure Paint Shop Pro. Love it.
