Part of this was filmed right outside Fayetteville; it is now need a rarity. I know other stuff has been filmed here; I remember this filming when I was very young. I was quite taken by the name.

Rani days thanks for letting her know. She frequently complains nobody ever tells her what’s going on around here 😾

She’s not Jim Morrison’s 20th Century Fox; she’s not Marc Bolan’s 20th Century Boy. She’s a 21st Century Queen with fab Mid Century Modern swag. Let’s raise a Tunatini 🍸 to @mouthandtrousers.bsky.social @ilikefugazi.bsky.social @strayliotta.bsky.social @beckbjj.bsky.social @danaland.bsky.social

Just figured out why she kept a 90’s Lifestyle recipe booklet. Not a good reason, but honestly better than thinking she had that for the content.

I’m afraid to read this one. I like her look though - proper 90’s Cooking Gal attire. The end. #Food #Recipe

Ok. I can’t complain about having my popcorn named after a Mexican revolutionary, but the 90’s white folks Bob Marley Tribute popcorn is a step too far (yes, at the time this was published, it was meant to evoke Bob Marley). Reminds me of Spinal Tap. #Food #Recipe.

If anybody knows Iggy Pop, here’s a pic of his Dad at Camp Victory in Texas in 1944 training in the Army Air Corp in WW2. I have this book because my uncle is in it, and I was looking for his pic. Found it, and found Osterberg, too. Was kind of a cool surprise #Punk #IggyPop

“Meat Sticks” is a generic name @bitchesthecat.bsky.social came up with and it cracks me up. They are cat treats, many brands.

Here is my girl, OTRB. I identified her as a Tortie. Cat Twitter (back in Twit days) told me that if there is white, she was a Calico in the US, and a Tortie in the UK. So your gorgeous sweetheart can be considered a Tortie as well. Whatever you call her, they have that same spicy personality.

#Cats #CatsOfBluesky Any experience to share on transitioning from free feed? I have 2 16-year olds who have always had free feed. Will the sound scare them? Tips? Many thanks for any responses.

Sure Feed cat feeder box. Allows you to give your cat a specific allotment of food rather than leaving a bowl of dry food out.

In the picture where it looks like she’s messing with his hair they really look like smallpox. I’m certain they aren’t meant to be, but perhaps the makeup artist’s conception of a face full of pimples was drawn from smallpox. There were pretty high US numbers earlier in the century.

#CatsOfBluesky #Cats Li’l Rani is my first Tabby. I describe her as a brown tabby. As my first, I’m not familiar with the tabby undercoat; posting a couple pics to ask if I’m correct- she’s got gray, ginger, and black stripes on her head and the undersides of her black. She is a good girl.

I’m glad I’m not the only one with a cat hanging out on the dining table. If there were egg nog on the table, this guy would be trying to hit Ralphi’s play.

Black and white cat lying relaxedly on the dining table he definitely has no habit of getting on.
