Baked, though I like both. Needs to have sour cream and chives or maybe a bit of cheese on it, though. Butter alone isn't enough for baked.

Salad or stir-fried veggies?

Hey gang, how's life? Sunny and cold here but at least no new snow to shovel.

Some fine coffee is brewing and there's Red Rose and Wakoucha (Japanese Red/Black tea) in the tea pots. Hot water is boiling and there's plenty for all the other wonderful teas, cocoas, and whatever other hot beverage turns your crank. There's even instant soups and ramen for quick hot snacks.

Gooooood Morning!

Mine is in the queue so once it goes up, we'll be at eight. Keep them coming. I think we've running around 16 in comps so hoping we can get there again.

It's here!!

I AM working today and there's too much to do before I am off next week for eye surgery.

Can someone remind a poor old Bear how to change his signature? I used to know, but I'm having a Sometimer's moment!

Hey, there's always hot water. Hydro must have gone off.😊

Coffee is on, there's Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast in the teapots, and hot water aplenty is waiting for other hot bevvies.

I think we are a bit short staffed right now. Molly and Gill are the only ones I have seen verifying of late and Gill is laid up at the moment. I imagine my story will show up sometime today.

Brace yourselves. New ape story in the queue, and it's my comp entry.

Hope you get better soon, Sara. Got more of my team at work laid up. One COVID, one not sure.

1 week until a mad man attacks my eye with a laser gun.😨 Or, well, an eye surgeon replaces the lens in my left eye.😀 Bye bye cataract. Right now, if I close my right eye, it's like looking through a fogged up window or a thick fog. Right eye will follow but the cataract there is not bad yet. I don't even notice it, but both my regular optometrist and the ophthalmologist doing the work say it is there.

I think I am close to submitting a comp entry. I like both stories I have going so just need to decide which will "sell" better. Hopefully tonight. Fear not, the other will follow once the comp is over. I am getting two stories out of this come hell or high water.

Anna. Ramsey does not strike me as good table company.😊

Full course meal or something lighter?

Six to date. Mine is coming soon for seven. Wonder what else our merry band of writers has in store?

I think Anna or I may have posted this before, but I finally listened to the whole album it is from, The Life & Times of Scrooge, and it is magnificent.

Good Morning!!

Thought someone from England might appreciate that. We have a Pall Mall Street here in London, Ontario in fact.

Trivial Pursuit. I am good at remembering facts so was quite good at it. Have not played in years, though.

Genus edition or a specialized edition?
