All Activity

I thought whataboutism was a recently made up word. Who knew? One more day of vacation for me. But...the 14 days of work, followed by 17 days off again! Taking a bunch of vacation now, as there are two librarians who are expecting babies in the early part of the new year. Time off will be scarce next year!

I’ve come to the conclusion that were a lot of jerks in our history .. or maybe 45 just keeps coming back 🤨 I’ve been listening to Hark the Herald Angels all morning on repeat by one Clay Aiken .. Lordy that mans voice rings like a bell 🔔

Word of the day is 'huff-snuff' (16th century): 'a conceited fellow who gives himself airs and is quick to take offence'.

what·a·bout·ism ˌ(h)wədəˈboudizəm BRITISH the technique or practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation or raising a different issue.

That’s me ~ I’ve been spuddling about all day. Happy Thanksgiving to all here. So thankful to have a place to go to find any little thing we can about the wonderful man that is Clay Aiken.. and thankful for Clay himself. To still be able to follow someone for almost 18 years, who can still keep us entertained with sayings like “ if you get backed into a corner, you just don’t pee on the floor’ 😂 is just amazing to me... Now let’s eat 🍗🍗

Word of the day is ‘spuddle’ (19th-century dialect): to be uselessly busy; to fuss about whilst achieving little or nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving to all at FCA!

I’ve been listening too! I agree.. I just love The Clay show, we may get spoiled 😍 He told me to stop being so politically correct and worrying about things people say - ok, I get it, I’ll take my spankings now

I too am thankful for FCA...a good place to be a fan of Clay Aiken! Update on my car: it was the starter battery that went out. While it did cost me some money, I was afraid it would be my main battery, which for a hybrid is VERY expensive. Today's podcast was outstanding! I listened while I was making my desserts for tomorrow, and kept nodding my head in agreement with Clay. I love his brain.

New pod: OMG that sounds heavenly, can’t wait to listen! i finally finished last weeks podcast last night, at bedtime half asleep, and then I heard Clay say it.. the one word I will not tolerate, the one one word I hate more than any other on the planet. The word I have actually thrown someone out of my house for saying 🤨. And he was talking about how he’s been called it and how he has decided not to let himself be upset by it.. and how he’s had to tell his son not to let the bullies see that you care b/c that’s what they want. [You know the kid has gotten crap b/c his dads gay 😒]

2 words today: throttlebottom: an inept person in public office. clamjamphrie: spoken nonsense

New podcast! No guest this week. The episode is titled “Ask Clay Anything” with his thoughts on the political year.

Mik, I know your grandbabies are precious to you, and I can't tell you what to do, but if it were me, I'd stay away. There's just so much risk out there anymore. {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}

When it rains it just pours, that’s a fact 😞 Good luck girl I can’t live w/o my grand babies.. but my daughter just now had to start working with covid patients b/c they are cutting back on surgeries, so now all nurses get them, not just ICU. We have to make that big decision now, do you still see the kids and hope the PPE is doing it’s job or not see them at all until the vaccine is out- at least my hubby and daughter would be first in line to get one

Oh no ldyj!

2020...the year that keeps on giving. Got in my beloved 2010 Toyota Prius (just over 100,000 miles on it) to go to my hair appointment. When I hit the power button...all the warning lights started flashing, the power button light started flashing, even the park light button started flashing, plus it started a high pitched beep. Hollered at my husband -- take a look at that while I'm gone, I'm borrowing your car. Called him at the end of the hair appointment. Had he done anything? Nope. Sigh. Anyway, he checked it out, and then called my insurance to start the process to have the ca

I have to say I would be even a ‘little’ more excited if we found out he wrote the song! So happy he’s still thinking of helping those kids, thinking ahead when kids can get back to camps.

That last word is hard to pronounce! I bet 45 would really butcher it! As I suspected — the National Inclusion Project “Send a Kid to Camp” end of the year push. AND, if they reach $35,000 by the end of the year, a song from Clay will be released to all donors! http://www.inclusionproject.org/sendakid2020/ EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Word of the day is ‘tergiversation’ [terdg-i-versation]: the making of conflicting statements, or the switching from one principle to another through a constant changing of mind

Word of the day is 'balatronic', a rare 19th-century word meaning 'like a buffoon'

Great! Now I’m good luck for your team and bad luck for mine :( we just lost to the worst team in the league in the final seconds and I was wearin my lucky shirt 😩

Shh! They won!

I’m glad you’re feeling better! I was going to call my insurance tomorrow to see if it covers the shingles vax.. my health ins sucks so it probably won’t 🙄 my Dr. Wants me to get it and has it ordered up.. prolly won’t do it if I have to pay. my ER bill for that case of Bell’s I had was 2 grand! I really hope this new admin can get something done with healthcare, tired of paying sky high premiums for nothing 😕 Merrieeee~ I’m watching your Browns FB team for you.. hate to have to tell ya, but I’m good luck. The minute I sat down Cleveland intercepted for a TD! (Lol)

Gee, I'm sensing a theme in these words merrieeee.... I didn't check in yesterday...DH and I got our second round of Shingrix shots Friday evening, and the side effects hit us both hard. The first round just made my arm sore, but it made Tony have flu like symptoms; this time, both of us had those symptoms. We ended up spending almost the entire day in bed. Thankfully, we are both much better today. Besides, as I keep telling myself...going through that yesterday is WAY better than having Shingles in the future! I did manage to get my new computer set up, though, toward the end o
