Friday Things #407
1. These three make my heart so very happy โค๏ธ๏ธ
2. If you use a Mac computer, do you use Safari or Chrome for your browser? I used Safari for the longest time, then switched to Chrome, and am now thinking of going back to Safari. Let me know which one you use and why!
3. I canโt believe this coming week begins Lent already! Iโm ready to go all-in on the local fish fry every Friday, but before thatโฆ do you have anything planned for Fat Tuesday? My paczki are always a big hit!
4. This post on how moms donโt stop moving made me wish even harder that they would stay little for just a little bit longer!
5. Are you making anything special for Valentineโs Day on Sunday? Iโm still mulling it over!

6. If you havenโt made this monthโs Bake-Along recipe yet (Red Velvet Cheesecake!), this weekend would be a perfect opportunity!
7. Love this >> Three Practices to Celebrate Your Day
8. Did you watch the Super Bowl? We are truly living in strange times when this Pittsburgher rooted for Tom Brady ๐
9. What are you watching right now? We are only a few episodes from finishing Star Trek: The Next Generation and will be ready to move on to something else!
10. TGIF! Judith always keeping an eye on the neighborhood ๐
2.) Yes, Mac from way back in the day; Firefox โ much more secure, and highly customizable.ย
3.) I gave up religion for Lent.๐คฃI am just so utterly disgusted with ALL the varieties of corruption, inequities, and false religion from folks and preachers who call themselves โChristian.โ Plus I have numerous fundamental problems with the ideologies, dogma, and history of the Church, and the OT.ย
5.) Nope.
6.) You ~may~ have me hooked!
7.) Thatโs nice. I prolly wonโt remember it. But for the most part, Iโm satisfied with the way my life is going.ย
8.) Nope. Donโt own a teevee (and by choice, havenโt for many years) and donโt care for sports.ย
9.) Manโฆ Iโm CRAZEE for Netflixโ Spanish productions โLa Casa de Papel,โ (literally, the house of paper, or โpaper houseโ) Anglicized title as โThe Money Heist,โ and โUnauthorized Living.โ BOTH ARE SUPERIOR in EVERY WAY to American teevee dramas โ acting, story-telling, cinematography, etc. LCDP was initially set to be a 1-season series, but due to immense demand, morphed into several years โ 4 now, I think. Story involves a heist of the Spanish national bank/treasury where Euros are printed, and the complexities of the characters as they develop the story, with its numerous twists, turns, and switchbacks. It is LITERALLY Shakespearean in quality of story-telling. If you liked Breaking Bad, youโll FLIP for La Casa de Papel!! Unauthorized Living is the story of a somewhat-benevolent aging Spanish narcotrafficker who is diagnosed with Alzheimerโs, and the complexities of characters, their relationships with others, which is punctuated with unexpected duplicities, sub-plots, and more. Altogether, VERY ENJOYABLE viewing!! English subtitles, and overdubs are available โ though I prefer the subtitles, to hear the passion in the charactersโ dialogue.
10.) Queenieโs RIGHT REAR leg is healing quite nicely following ACL repair surgery a couple weeks ago.
