Brains: it’s what’s for dinner.
And speaking of, who thought a grinning peanut grinding his own brain out onto a platter was…a great idea for a product? I envision a young Hannibal Lecter having a lovely time with this. Don’t get me wrong. I’d like one.
For the one time every few years that I need to physically remove a staple:
What actually happens when you have a toothache. Next time you are bothered, understand that it is just the worms, demons and ghosts acting up beneath your enamel.
Mid-century America presents NARCISSISM: THE DRESS.
I don’t. But I’ve heard the stories.
Ohhhhhh…so that’s how you get a man. You glue him down! I’ve been doing it wrong.
A real book; I kid you not:

God, is that you?
No wait, is that you, God?
Not like this.
I’m not sure if this gaping chasm counts as a “neckline.”
The single best, or maybe worst, job in the world.
Now, this is some food I could eat. Does anyone have a copy of this?
Keep in mind they use the word “enjoy” in the broadest possible sense.
This fellow is very open minded…
And let that be a reminder to stay open-minded about the amorous preferences of others.
You won’t find me embroidering daisies and picnic baskets onto my linens. Mother Eagle is really more my style.
How gorgeous is this miniature silk ribcage on a handmade lace cotton panel?

Oriental Trading Co. has thousands of Halloween items. Here’s a goody bag of random treats I happen to like that I haven’t posted in previous roundups here or here (wow, there was some cool stuff in those old posts now that I look back!).
For the jewelry makers…
Hanging Bat Charms
Stickers (childhood, I miss you!)
Plus Bean Bag Bats (I have NO practical use for these…but they are just so darn cute).

You can read my dad’s previous hospital updates HERE and listen to an embarrassing, rambling voice recording of more details (can’t type) that I sent to my closest friends HERE.
The road ahead is long and grueling, but I’m ready for the fight of a lifetime…mostly because of the amazing people in my life, and unrelenting desire to be of service to humanity.
I want to give credit to my amazing friends for making and displaying this motivational graphic. It warmed my heart so beautifully…I’m still not over the wonderful surprise! Gets me every time I see it…

Special thanks to my incredible proxy blogger, who keeps my dreams alive when my body cannot do so. What a precious gift.
Medical hiatus no-typing mix…I read and appreciate all comments…Apologies for not being able to respond at the moment.
