We take our lighting and cooling seriously in this house!
A ceiling fan with a chandelier 3 light fixture. one of the light bulbs replaced with a smaller fan that has a light as well. So the big fan and small fan can provide extra cooling.

Airbrushed pan of brownies. Cityscape silhouette with reds yellows, green and purple shades in the sky Airbrushed pan of brownies. Cityscape silhouette with reds yellows, green and purple shades in the sky. There is a blue hue as well and the cityscape is not crisp but looks hazy or as if reflected in water. Goal was aurora borealis over Kansas city.

Acupuncture business named "Pricc". Picture of the front of the multi-story building, there is a balcony above the business that is presumably the residence occupied by a good friend.

Me: I like to put away my dishes in a particular order as a treat.
Them: what do mean by particular?
Me: oh, um, you know, just the normal amount of ah, particular.

The particular:
Colorful stacks of plates and bowls. The plates and bowls are stacked in the same color pattern. Pink on bottom, then a light orange followed by yellow (just the plates, there are no yellow bowls), then blue and lastly green. There is another shelf with a stack of smaller plates stacked in the same grouping (red, blue, green).

Uncle Johnny's Cookies now has a live eBay listing. Although not as cool as the picture here, its only $10k OBO. LOL

www.ebay.com/itm/39679559...
A very edited version of a cookie jar with the words "Uncle Johnny's Cookies" listed on its chef hat. The cookie jar itself is cropped a bit as it is a tall jar, so this is just the top 1/2 of the jar. The face, necktie and chef hat are all you can see. The colors are inverted as the original jar is all white, so now it looks like a dark blue tint. Then the artist has colorized the face by putting highlights of dark blue on its cheeks, orange on its ears, red on its eyes, aquamarie on its chin like a weird beard. It also has dark green on its eyebrows and yellow on its hat. The words Uncle Johnny's Cookies are in red. The necktie has intermittent spots of white that now look like fairy lights.

Sending in my application for Dr. Boner's train robbery gang.
Experience: I tried to rob a train once in 1880
A large man trying to act like he is going to jump onto a moving train. A small boy is helping him. The boy is already on the train and the man is holding the ladder with his hands while his feet are kicked into the air as if the train is moving fast. The train is stationary, there are no tracks beyond where the train is sitting and there is a step to get up onto the train caboose.

Um, they did that 3 years ago. Maybe this should have been their opener.
screen shot of a youtube video of a woman on a bed filled with doritos. She is snacking on one and the rest cover most of her body in the same way ants group together in the classic Paul Rudd movie "Ant Man", these doritos have banded together to make a "sheet" of sorts for this young woman. One leg bent up above the "folds" of Doritos to show she is just laying in bed with nothing on simply covered in Doritos and loving life.

Visited a castle, they used pinecones on all their chairs to reinforce the "please don't sit on our old old stuffs". Every chair where you wouldn't have to move it to sit on it had a pinecone.
Fancy several hundred year old chair w/ ornate arms & back and a red leather seat. There is a pinecone sitting in the middle of the seat to make sure guests don't use/sit on the chair.

Holy Shit!! Does this mean anything?
White Smoke rising out of a chimney with fantastic architectural steeple like structures behind it. This picture does not in fact mean anything since it was taken over a week before the Roman Catholic Church started their 1st day of their Conclave, is a picture from England, is just normal chimney smoke/exhaust, and the picture is the top of the UK Parliament building.

Review:
1) wasn't a fan of the name, but gave it a shot
2) should have noticed "spiced" since the last spiced flavored drink was ass
3) wouldn't recommend*, nor purchase again
4) seemed to have less fizz
*Unless you enjoy the spiced water drinks
Not "bad", but not "good"
Aluminum can of waterloo brand sparkling water. "Guy fieri flavortown" spiced mango sherbet. Next to a clear glass holding ice cubes and the clear contents of the can.

Making progress. Slowly but surely.
Partially complete bathroom showing a tub and surround shower. The part above the shower wall has white drywall showing where everything has been replaced. There is still a small hole in the wall to fill yet and other finishing details like painting.

Saw your posts & @neolithicsheep.bsky.social mentioned they were able to bring some stuffed bears as well. If this is something you'd like more of, I can mail out this coming week. There is about 100 of them. Inherited from my Dad, but got them too late to donate for Christmas.
DM me if interested.
About 100 beanie baby brand teddy bears lined up by color and markings. The bears range from small packaged ones with various country flags on them, to santa claus, to bears with santa hats, to random animals (not all bears). Sizes vary as well some big some "regular sized beanie babies" some small or "mini"
