Is Photobucket still being stupid? I was just now checking my albums to see about downloading them and noticed that I can post some pictures and others not. Some of them have been given the "upgrade your account' crap treatment, even in my album.

I suppose the crap image is from the pictures I had previously posted here. Hmm. I'll guess I will find out when Photobucket updates itself. Stupid fricking Photobucket.

Update: Yes, Photobucket are still being jerks. I need to hire someone to "take care" of them...if you know what I mean...

Happy Valentine's (buy_sappygifts_cards_andcandy_yumchocolate) Day!

So, there's an old Broadway show tune called "My Funny Valentine" which became very popular because it's sweet, sentimental and lends itself to many musical styles.

Should old acquaintance be (mumble mumble) and never (mumble mumble}?

For oh something something, my dear
For oh something something,
We'll have a drink of kindness (or whatever).

Well another year has come to an end and we have to get used to writing 2018 on our checks. Wait a minute, who writes checks anymore?? Well I do, but meh. Anyway.

One New Year's tradition is to sing "Auld Lang Syne" as the clock strikes midnight, ushering in another year.

Let's all go to the lobby to get ourselves a treat!

*update* My bad, the video clip is advertising for a regular movie theatre, not a Drive-in. It's still a fun retro piece, if you happen to like that sort of thing. Actual drive-in ads coming soon to a blog near you!

I needed a bit of a change of pace, so here is a little clip showing some of the old Drive-in movie commercials. I don't know about other countries, but here in the U.S. Drive-ins were really popular in the mid-century era, but sadly most of them are gone now.

Cranberry Sauce. A deep purplish red log that slithers out of the can with a gentle "squich" sound that simply says "Thanksgiving" (to me, anyway. If cranberry sauce starts speaking to you, seek medical advice).

None of this fancy shmancy "whole berry" crap either. Yich. Or even worse, some gourmet home made "ginger and clove" concoction that someone like Martha Stewart would dream up.

Nope. The good stuff comes from a can of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce.
