Happy New Year to all of you! Thank you DoG for starting my (very early) days off with a laugh. And all of the rest of you too with your clever comments!
My kind of tickets! and they are free. And I will be on the first row when the neighbors have fireworks. One of the first things to do in the new year will be baking bread. And that first one is a reason why there is no man in this house. The only male around is a eunuch cat.
Happy new year to everyone ! Careful with the drinks, too many cause bad headache! Enjoy the fire works that someone else fires!
Welp, if I ever needed a reminder of what’s wrong with this country I certainly got it this morning. But on the bright side, I’ve been baking my Bread for about the last four or five months and I’ve already collected the material I need for the chicken coop. I still need to get the shingles. Also, hat tip to DoG for such a comprehensive collection.
Yes, I’ve always known how much better home-baked bread was because I used to bake French bread back in the 80s. The recipe I’m using now calls for 21 g of sugar and I don’t like using sugar so I substituted 3 tablespoons of honey, and it works great. The bread is more moist and the texture is much better as well as the taste.
indeed! mine barks and I see nothing but I think there was something. Deer, boar, squirrels for sure. Other dogs, strange cats, she is only a beagle mix but will defend me for life's sake!
The “fun fact” about prison inmates doing more to end pedophilia than the government does is so, SO true 👊😈. Also, the “to ring bell: Connect the wires” one is, what we Aussies call… “A cracker” (meaning it’s excellent). If that was at my home, I’d enlarge the hole & say “to ring bell… Put hand inside to ring”, only to then have my 4-legged security specialist rip into it 😏😏😏. On a lighter note… Thanks for all the entertainment you’ve brought us this year mate & I’d just like to wish everyone here a very Happy New Year & all the best for 2026… From Australia ✌️🥳🇦🇺🎆
I have a wind chimes as a door bell. people who don't know this stand there forever, not able to come on my terrass. The chimes hang from the handle of the fence, that barely anyone can open. There is a trick to it! My handyman did an excellent job at that.
Yeah, I love that doorbell too. Back in the day, before it was deemed ‘racist’ to day, we called that, ‘african-engineering’ (and that’s the politically correct version) - it was actually a compliment to those that were very good at making something last beyond it’s normal lifespan, out of necessity.

Happy New Year DoG! ALWAYS my first chuckle every day! And sometimes the only one😃
My Daughter In Law makes the best Sourdough bread at home. It's amazing.
Today’s Winner: Thomas Sowell (every day, actually) 😃
HNY DoG and Doggyz!
PS: I also have 2 Tickets To Paradise (on the sofa)
I didn’t get those tickets this year. I’ll be working.
Happy New Year DoG and to all who are here!
Hoping 2026 kicks butt and we start seeing real results!!!
Incoming!

Good job Buddy! you probably notice how much better home baked is compared to store bought! nothing beats the smell of fresh baked bread.

I have never used any sweet in my bread, but since last year, add a table spoon of coconut oil. I like honey so I might try that! Thanks for the tip.
I’ve had the shingles, no fun, very painful. :D
wow that is, I know several who had it, one right after she had the very painful vaxxes!
Yikes, maybe I’ll just hot mop.
Happy New Year enjoy your stuff.....I always try to stay home on "amateur night" unless I have a gig....Blessings!
Those tickets?
Guess we are going to the same party.
A Prosperous 2026 to Duke and the Dukies.
we will be in good company! thinking of all those that share the same free tickets!
My dog also barks at absolutely nothing. I love him dearly. Happy New Year y’all. Already have my tickets too. 🙏🏻♥️🇺🇸
Is he barking because there’s nothing there? Or is there nothing there because he’s barking?
Good one Buddy!
Thanks, but it wasn’t original. I actually saw it in a meme with the dog saying it.
indeed! mine barks and I see nothing but I think there was something. Deer, boar, squirrels for sure. Other dogs, strange cats, she is only a beagle mix but will defend me for life's sake!
Ya, their hearing and sense of smell are thousands of times greater than ours🤗
Great questions! He’s a proud protector for sure 😂
We have one dog who also is drowning in medals. She's afraid of the ceiling fan as one example
Is he a golden retriever??? My neighbor had one and it was even afraid of leaves on the floor when the wind moved them. She was a total wuss!
Izzy, Irish Red & White Setter and lap dog.
You are blessed!
God certainly has blessed me more than I ever deserve.
She? Probably wasn’t afraid of the leaves at all just that the wind Wood mess up her hair.
😂
That’s so cute!
Happy New Year D.o.G you always start my day with a smile and a chuckle and a bit of truth too. God bless you
Thanks, always good to hear. :)
Happy New Year backatcha!
Ddddddefintley trying to kill us D.o.G

Happy New Years backatcha my aussie friend!
African engineering, we saw what you did there.
BWAHAHAHA LAUGHTER
knitter rigger!
I know quite a bit about things lasting beyond their normal lifetime. A few more years and I’ll be one.
that makes two of us. I've got the x-rays to prove it. :P
life's not meant to be lived carefully, am i right?
I hope so, otherwise, mine has been a complete failure
