So, it turns out that the FaceApp that I wrote about earlier in the week, the app that shows you what you will likely look like when you are old (honestly, bad idea from the start, right?!?), is probably run by the Russians in order to steal all of our data. I have to thank our son for handing us over to the Russians on a silver platter, all for a few cheap laughs. My husband says that we’ll be vacationing in Siberia next year. Needless to say, FaceApp will no longer be on my list of Friday favorites.
Happy Friday, friends and readers! On Fridays, my consumer side comes out. It is Favorite Things Friday, here at the blog. I’ll list about three of my favorite toys, books, cosmetics, jewelry, songs, etc. and I encourage you to add your favorites to the Comments section. Please see previous Friday posts for more fun to indulge in. Here are today’s favorites:
Rayland Baxter’s cover for Mac Miller’s “Come Back to Earth” – This is one of the best songs that I have downloaded in a while. I listened to it again and again yesterday. I love Rayland’s voice and I love Mac Miller’s talented, soulful song-writing. What a terrible loss he was for us! RIP Mac Miller.
The New Barker magazine – This magazine touts itself as “Florida’s Top Dog Lifestyle Magazine”, but if you love dogs like I do, you will still appreciate its beautiful artwork (the covers are frame-able), its adorable pictures of pooches, its interesting articles and its great products ideas for pet lovers, even if you are not a Floridian. You can find back issues on ebay to see if this is your bag, before you order a regular yearly subscription. This is the one magazine that I keep every issue because just looking at the covers, makes my tail wag.
Totally Taffy – One of my all-time favorite things is a vintage chimpanzee candy dish that I bought over a decade ago. It sits in our entry and I am forever trying to find pretty eye-catching candy for it, that no one really wants to eat. (I know, I know . . . I could go with the decorative glass variety but I don’t want anyone to accidentally break their teeth and/or swallow glass) So, I bought Totally Taffy at the Fresh Market for the chimp dish, because of its pretty colorful wrappers and guess what, we’re Fresh Out! Totally Taffy is Totally Yummy. It is gooey, full of flavor and impossible to eat just one, and keep in mind, I don’t even consider myself a taffy fan.
Have a great Friday! Have a great weekend, but don’t be this guy:
Using a compact mirror, placing it on the table then looking down on it will give you a pretty good idea about what you will look like in your later years. It’s safer and Coconut Oil can help a bit with good food and exercise. No app download.
Favorite thing: Every once in awhile, my eldest daughter, Carri, has on facebook “Ella-isms” which are little things my grandgirl says that prove years after Art Linkletter, that kids STILL say the darnedest things. For your enjoyment on a Friday:
Ella-ism of the day: we checked out the new ‘natural’ grocers in town, and bought some Annie’s bunny crackers, honey graham flavored. She asked for a small handful on the way home, with please and thank you. Then she asked for another small handful, again with please and thank you, then after that, asked for 1 more cracker. Figuring I knew better than that, I gave her another small handful… And she responded with “I only asked for 1!”
That’s a girl who knows exactly what she wants! I Love it!!
Well, seems like I just learned a few things.
1. I learned who a cat by the name of Mac…ooops, mac daddy? No, Big Mac, no, what was his name, well, Mac Cat. Kinda a coolio cat. Im actually listening to LADDERS. Woot. lol
2. Evident ally of all the vodka I’ve consumed or it consumed me, I suppose it wasnt that much according to the VODKA gif. lololol Which is hilarious.
3. And the Bark Bark mag has some coolio images on front!
Oh my goodness Mac Miller passed. OH my word. Bless his heart. Such brokenhearted.
It’s so sad when young talent leaves us too soon.
