Choice Morsels

It's "Banana's Thursday" because I didn't like any of the Mama Kat  prompt suggestions, so instead, I'm going to share a recent funny discovery about my Hubby--it cracked me up, listening to him on our last shopping trip, talking to a teenage bagger and, when he got into the car, I said, "I can't believe it! You've turned into Anal Grocery Man!"  And I just cackled with glee--because, normally the Hubby is laid back and easy going and, of the two of us, if anyone could be called, "anal," it's not him. It's me--who can spin up into a hurricane of dogmatic minute preciseness about a thing. We do our shopping at the Force Base Commissary, where the people who bag your groceries work strictly for tips. They are all either retired military, active duty military or dependents of military---so there's a broad range of ages doing the bagging.

I didn't find any appealing prompts in Mama Kat's suggestions today, which means today I get to GO BANANAS and post what I want! That being the case, I declare today a "Pinterest Fun" day! All the following photos either gave me a smile or a laugh. Finding friends with the same mental disorder as you...Priceless! Captain Jack Sparrow as Mona Lisa! Yo-ho!   "We're taking the Tribbles to Isengard. "  A Hobbit story reference, since Kirk and Spock are clearly wearing their Hobbit adventure clothes!

Come back tomorrow for Fridays Finds!

Well, none of Mama Kat's prompts inspired me today, so it's "Bananas Thursday," meaning I can talk about any topic I like! So, I decided, today, I'll share tips and tricks for various things ranging from cleaning house to ideas for using various products, such as baking soda. Tip #1)  What to do with a bottle of Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil? I had a BIG bottle a guy, who was eliminating post-divorce clutter, offered me. He said it was "bubble bath," but, when he actually gave it to me, I discovered it was  bath oil instead, which is not the same thing. It sat around a long time until I finally looked up a link for ways to use the stuff other then in a bath ! h ttp://www.avon-review-tammy.blogspot.com/2012/04/100-uses-for-skin-so-soft-oil.html One tip from that list I used today was : wipe Skin-So-Soft around the ports and the base of your hummingbird feeder to keep bees away. I'll have to let you know how it goes! Bees are a big issue wi...
