Fugs & Pieces, December 13, 2024

First of all, I just want to thank the brothers and sisters who have spoken to me a week ago, after the death of my mother. I really appreciate everyone’s thoughts more than I can say. We all hang out as much as we can, and it’s nice to talk here, you know. Other stuff!

To that end, this is something for you to read, if you also need other Stuff to occupy your time for any reason – even if it’s just because you’re bored at work, or because you’re ignoring the fact that we have less than two weeks until Christmas

More at Drinks And Broads, Tuesday I dug into it Martha Stewart’s Christmas and Heather tackled that The Simpsons– Central MNF. Plus, Miss Piggy! Thursday brought the tea RANT EDITION: I’m crazy about Sexy Santa! Heather is crazy about the trailer and the new Vogue! Also some other stuff!
