How did you even read them?

If you click on them they stop being thumbnail sized and become more or less normal sized

Alright you see where you type posts? Right above that with all the little icons there's an icon that looks like two mountains and the sun over a yellow background. Click that and you'll get a pop up where you can enter picture addresses if they're from the internet.

Shanthimalai (red) Nag Champa incense. I burn this constantly and have nearly run out.

My daughter will be moving soon, so I had a photo of this fish and chips shop (we have some happy memories of this place from when she was little) scanned to canvas onto a wood frame, for hanging in her new kitchen.

This will pair nicely with my Bob Ross pin on my DG bag.

New case for my new S22. Bought a fold-over leather one which was cool and all but the clip kept getting caught in my pocket and putting even one credit card into the slot interfered with the magnetic lock, so, yeah, this is much better. Looks cooler too.

'Tis a fine shade of blarney.

I like it.

Which reminds me I need to get a case.

I'll probably switch them around for aesthetics, but yeah they're lookin real smooth.

Today, I bought a $20 Elsa makeup kit on Amazon. My daughter needed a birthday present for a neighbourhood kid.

^ That's very sweet, music_collector. Why are people from Canada always so nice? :)

Getting into playing tennis again and bought this new racquet. Nothing fancy, but had it re-strung to a very high tension. It's like playing with a paddle, lol. I have a big topspin backswing, so the high tension prevents me from hitting outside the lines.

We aren't all nice. We just like being known for it. ;) For those looking for the highest concentration of nice Canadians, stay east of the province of Quebec. Folks in the maritimes are beyond nice.

It turns out I bought the right thing, as there was an Elsa impersonator at the party.

That is a nice racquet by the way. I like my Babolats. I have yet to try the Head models. It seems that no matter what I buy, my backhand doesn't get any better. Sigh.

Can't quite understand why I haven't been to Canada yet - I've always wanted to go there. When I do go, though, I'll be sure to head straight for the maritimes!

Glad Elsa showed up at the party for the girls - so cute. :love:

Babolats are good racquets - like Rafa's. My choice of Head was purely cosmetic, lol. Didn't want to invest too much in a racquet at this time, since I'm very rusty. I actually used only Donnay racquets for many years - just like my hero Bjorn Borg. I was intent on becoming the female successor to Borg once upon a time, but I never quite made it. :rolleyes:

You might want to avoid us for a little while. The entry rules here are so goofy, for lack of a better term. They seem to change on the hour.

I forgot Rafa plays with Babolats. I remember buying mine because Andy Roddick used them. Sadly, I can't serve like him either. He has the fastest serve I've seen live (235kph). Unbelievable.

Borg! He had AMAZING hair, not to mention crazy talent. I'd take him over Connors and McEnroe any day. Not to take anything away from their abilities, I just didn't like the five year old temper tantrums.

I don't know this Donnay company. It must be only available in Europe. You'd think we would have more selection here, given the talent we've produced lately (Raonic, FAA, Shapovalov, Andreescu, Fernandez, etc).

So you've been reading jwb posts, huh?

Absolutely nobody.

I bought maple sugar candies.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-Duw-Lz6S3M

Traded my truck for a car the other day. That ^ vid is too real.

Hope you enjoyed! My son loves these little maple leaf-shaped pure Vermont maple syrup candies I purchase at our local cheese shop. :)

Good luck with the new wheels (as I think you would say, lol!). Yes, that vid hits home - I'm driving only when essential these days because it costs nearly $100 to fill up the tank. :(

I went from about 11-13 mpg to about 36.

^ That's good, then! My car's about 22 city/32 highway. And you spend most of your time here sitting in traffic.

Just ordered an Andy Warhol-ized canvas print of my favorite baby photo of my daughter for her new apartment. We often joke about this photo because she's wearing a frilly headband and has only two bottom teeth. It's four panels in "pop art" style. Yes, I still infantilize my children. :laughing:

Poor kid. lol Great idea!

Good thing I'm undatable or I'd keep a photo of baby me with my dick out to show the parents when I meet them.

Awww. And we could Warhol-ize you!

She loves every minute of it - does she look unhappy to you? :laughing:

It does resemble a soup can.

Thats a great photo, and absolutely not.

^ Thank you! And I know that your girl will be very happy sharing a home with Dad. Hugs to both of you!

:laughing:

Oh yes, everyone did! We were picking strawberries at this farm, and I realized they have maples there too. I pissed off some of my parent friends, as I bought some candies for their kids.

I bought a sugar pie. WOW.

I love Vermont. The people are friendly, the beer is excellent (Alchemist!!!!), as is their maple syrup. You know, one thing I should try making is the maple leaf cookies. They're basically leaf shaped Oreo type cookies with maple filling. There must be a recipe on the interwebs somewhere.

Strawberries, maples, and a sugar pie - that's heavenly! I love Vermont too! We went a few years ago to the farm at Morse Maple Sugarworks in Montpelier. Tasted the maple syrup right after boiling and went into the sugar bush in a horse-dawn carriage. And yes, the folks there are so nice and friendly!

Ooh, maple leaf cookies - I need to make those some time! https://anitalianinmykitchen.com/map...dwich-cookies/

I was looking at that recipe. It looks easy enough.

Montpelier is a nice city. I remember going to a restaurant there, ordering an iced tea and being surprised. Iced tea here is generally sweetened. There, it was tea, but cold. That was a first for me. Stowe and St. Albans (Jay Peak is great skiing) are nice to visit as well. I vividly remember waiting in line for beer at the Alchemist, while holding my twins who were still in diapers. Yes, I was a thirsty lad.

Tire sur la neige (syrup on snow) - a must have in spring

I've only had one piece of the pie. It's so rich, and apparently I'm the only one at home who likes it. What the hell is wrong with my family????

I'd look at taking the family back to Vermont on vacation, but we're waiting for our kids' passport renewals.

Sugar shacks on the Québec side here are rites of passage. With the French Canadian traditional breakfast, and all the syrup one can scarf down, it's food coma bliss.
