Never been to Trinidad & Tobago. I'll be interested in your thoughts.

TSOTD is Mickey Mouse.When I was in Pre-K one of the kids had a Mickey Mouse tee shirt which he wore for the graduation pictures.I always hoped that my parents would buy me a similiar shirt but alas they never did.Recently my children gave me as a gift a Vintage MM tee shirt.

When my step daughter moved to Houston back in 2016, I went apartment hunting with her. Middle of September, 95+ degrees during the day, high 70's/low 80's at night  and about 12,000% humidity. Many of the apartments we looked at had fireplaces which I couldn't understand. Who would want a fire when it was so hot? I just assumed it was decorative.

 

Well, she ended up getting an apartment without a fire place and that following Jan/Feb she wish she had. Even thought the temperatures were in the 40's, she always said 40 degrees in Houston feels like 10 degrees in NY, I guess because of the dampness/humidity.

 

 

You have more snow on the ground in Dallas in my section of NY. 😃

 

Although that's going to change tomorrow.  Supposed to get 1-3 inches which is annoying. Not enough to use the snowblower but enough for me to shovel.

 

Very strange .I had friend who lived in a Houston suburb .I visited them in two Octobers and the weather was very hot .

I had to replace roof a couple of times in Coppell , got new roof last year in Carrollton but insurance paid almost the entire price.

Same with us.  Hardly anything out of pocket.  I hear the insurance guidelines for roof repair has changed not for the better for home owners.

We have snow in Dallas 😁😁😁😁, not sure last time this happened 

 

 

As you know, in NY it's called a dusting. We were surprised when we woke up.  Luckily, this freezing weather will be gone in 2-3 days.

Yes, Houston humidity is crazy high and brutal.  I once got off a plane in Houston and as I exited the plane to the jetway there was an inch opening connecting the jetway to the plane and the humidity hit me full force.  I could hardly breathe. I don't recall what month it was.

 

Weather is crazy here.  Many times, heat in the car in the morning, switching to AC in the afternoon.  I think our heat at home went on for the first time this Winter a few short days ago.  Crazy!

They say ( whoever they are). 
“If you can’t handle the heat get out of the oven”. 
Well.  I kinda want the heat. 
Where’s that oven!!!!!!!!!!

Since we have posted about mustaches it got me thinking as I have had mine for 40 years, what would I look like without one? Photoshop is better than just shaving. I think I like me with one, what do you think. Charlie did not vote.

 

 

 

I look kinda naked without one.

I hear ya.  I've had my beard since 1992.  In all that time, I shaved it off once.  And it couldn't grow back fast enough.

I want to share more love being shown. 

A couple of months ago a new neighbor moved in. She is a long time friend with Kenzie's mom. 

It's been snowing and with our steep peppled concrete driveway we were snowed in.  Our ring started indicating someone was here.  Looked out and our neighbor was clearing a path for us!  What a sweetheart!

What about your wife? I grew my mustache in 1975. I never  shaved it. My wife has never seen me without one and my mom never saw me with one until 2014.

Probably helps when it comes to keeping poster's still being allowed on this site while others get kicked off because of using  way to many memes.

No biggie since I brought it up. Just not a CC type of post I care to share details why. BTW, she didn't recognize me with a mustache and hair not past my shoulders and all gray. 😂
