Conversation 34

This is number 34 out of the of the series.
I created and started this thread 12 years ago. 😎🎈
I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe. 🌹✨😎I have been shopping and posting on HSN since the late
90’s 😎I have wonderful memories from the HSN we all know and love.

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie I hope you are feeling better. I know a bit
overwhelm with all the Reno and visiting your husband. Just rest when you can.Soon hubby will be home and a new chapter will begin for both of you.
Oodie if you are not up to visiting hubby I am sure he will understand. I rather be safe than sorry.
I will be covering Heidi Daus things during her visit. 😎🎈
I do hope you can both visit your homes in the North again. 💕🎈

Here is to a nice Sunday. OZ is in the 30’s and very windy. 😎

Heidi Daus Grande Paw Print Pin – Clear and Dark GreyOodie this caught my eye and heart. 💕🎈😎
-
I stayed home today to play a bit of catchup. Tomorrow is garbage and recycle. Both are now at the curb. I will be doing an extra wash tomorrow for some of our winter clothing. Starting Tuesday we will be in the 60s and 40s overnight. I think hubs has some warm clothes at the rehab and I will be checking his closet tomorrow. Yes, I am finally feeling much better. Great to be able to do things again.
I also like the paw print. Bet Poppy’s paw is lots smaller. You could probably attach it to his collar. I can visualize it and the many oohs and ahhs when you are out and about with him.
Hope to finally make it to the Farmer’s Market tomorrow. I also will take a look at some food items for hubs. He loves their homemade soup and I purchased the 2 warmers from Curtis Stone. I wish that it came with a plug in for a vehicle. These will come in handy to use in hubs room. I also will be purchasing the items to make the Asian Winter Soup. Pork ribs is the main ingreditent. I am debating about using the slow cooker. I will add honeydew and Dragon fruit to the mix. Hubby keeps asking for apples. I may skin either one or two and throw that into it as well. The veggies will include carrots, bok choy, string beans, summer squash and some others that will give it color. From start to finish it takes no more than an hour and a half. There is an Asian market in the Tampa area that cuts the ribs New York style. This also makes it a Dim Sum style. Love it both ways.
Have a great evening. Hope your hubby gets Friday off this week. After all the partying, I would dread getting up in the wee hours to get ready for a work day. Oh well.
-
Good evening glad to see you are getting back to normal. 🎈💕😎
Hubby and I finished are marketing for the week. I do not want to be out
New Year’s Eve. I will make my annual visit to my neighbor two doors down who I
have known for over 25 years. I will be wearing all red Heidi Daus. 💕🎈😎Hubby pulled some strings and does not have to go back to work until well
after the New Year. 😎🎈I will take advantage of this time there is plenty to do
in OZ. 🎈😎💕Happy Shopping and I hope you find some good deals for the your meals. 💕

Heidi Daus Alta Moda Earring Set of 3I am loving these. 💕🎈
Here’s to a good evening.

Just opened a package from Heidi. It probably was delivered either Friday or Saturday. What I received was the Art Deco necklace with matching bracelet in the sapphire. Absolutely loving it and not only gorgeous, but the clasp is like hiding. You really need to hunt for the clasp. As always, no flaws,. I will be wearing this ensemble New Years Eve. 😀😀🍾🧨🚗🎵🎹I am now debating about the clear. I am over the moon on this one.

Wear your pieces in good health you deserve it. 🎈💕😎

this weather. My niece is still in Ireland having a great time. 😎🎈💕This time of year
it is so beautiful there. My family made it back from Orlando, FL last night. 💕🎈
Here is to a nice Sunday. 🎈💕😎Oz is cold and windy. Oh Well Tis The Season.

Good Evening OZ had a bit of high wind and snow today. We are around 22 degrees
as I type. Very cold night. I made sure the animals were all fed and taken care of. 😎💕
🧀✨ In charge of pre-dinner snacks this New Year’s Eve? You can’t go wrong with a delicious cheese platter from Feast on Fruit! 🍇🥖🍷 Perfect for sharing this festive season 🎄🎉
Taci here is another idea you may find useful and delicious. 💕🎈
I am sure whatever you come up with your family will love it.
Sounds like you had a good hike. 😎💕
-
Sheba, good to hear everyone is enjoying or enjoyed their travels.
Hubs and I traveled today (not really far) to hike in a Forest type area. He asked up hill hike or traverse and then up hill? and why does he ask? I love uphill hikes so we did it and while I loved it he was getting a bit tired: maybe having some 2nd thoughts but he got me back when I had to cross a small creek lol. No animal sightings although we know they are all there including some pesky mosquitoes.
Hope you have a wonderful evening! Hello to Poppy and the cats. -
Happy New Year to you and your family!🎉🎊 I am not aware that shrimp cocktail is an east coast tradition but it is a tradition in my house. A very easy treat to prepare and enjoy, no cooking, lol! Years ago, us and two other couples took turns having a New Year’s party and we always had a big bowl of shrimp to grab and eat. Goes well with all drinks.🍸🍹🥂
-
Good Day in the ‘burgh. 😎💕 Good luck with your Hockey Team today.

New Year is almost here I am wishing the best for all of us. 💕😎🎈
This is a chill day. 😘💕
Sending good vibes to you and Jake. OZ is cold and windy. 😎

Shoelady, Thanks for the explanation. A relative from the East Coast mentioned doing a Shrimp Cocktail every year so I was thinking it was a thing there.
Happy New Year! It will be here soon. -
Good morning in California Kitten and may this day find you doing well. 😎💕
Happy New Year my friend.

NATIONAL FRUITCAKE DAY
Across the United States, fruitcake lovers young and old, commemorate National Fruitcake Day each year on December 27th.
Made with chopped candied or dried fruit, nuts, and spices and sometimes soaked in spirits, fruitcake has been a holiday gift-giving tradition for many years.
Dating back to ancient Rome, one of the earliest known recipes lists pomegranate seeds, pine nuts, and raisins mixed into barley mash. Records indicate that in the Middle Ages, makers added honey, spices, and preserved fruits. Recipes for fruitcakes vary from country to country, depending on available ingredients and tradition.
In the 16th century, two achievements crystallized to make fruitcakes more affordable and accessible. First, sugar from the American Colonies became abundant. Second, it was discovered that high concentrations of sugar could preserve fruits. These two actions resulted in excess candied fruit. Consequently, fruitcake making grew.

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Enjoy your shopping try not to buy too much. 💕
Oz is 66 and cloudy just perfect for the animals. 😎I am sure hubby will be happy to see you today if you are up to it. Sorry you got a bit
under the weather.
Oodie take it easy today and try not to do everything. My family is driving from
Orlando, FL back to the Atlanta area. I love seeing them have fun in the sun. 💕🎈😎 -
Did not go shopping and stayed home. I have learned another hard lesson. Not to touch anything in the food line at the Rehab. I will either take something from home or will order out. This is not the way to spend the holiday. Hoping to see hubs today. Not sure.
Very humid with temps in the upper 70s today. Cooler temps will start Wednesday for a few days.
Your SIL and brother picked a great time to make a stop in Orlando. From where they were it’s about two or two and a half hours to our home on the West coast depending upon the Disney traffic. There will be rail service from Tampa if it hasn’t already started.Some new and interesting pieces in Heidi Daus. She is scheduled for next week. Hope she finds her cellphone.
-
Oodie, Thanks for thinking of us…. Our weather has been windy at night and some rain but its mostly over now. We didn’t get storms like many other areas.
Hope you are enjoying the season.
Wishing you and Mr. Oddie a very Happy New Year! ♥ -
Good day in S. California I have seen concerning images from around your area.
Just stay safe. 🎈💕
Safe Trails. 💕🎈😎
-
Sheba, Thank you for the concern. All is good where I live. We had wind and some rain in varying degrees but nothing too bad. I see some areas are hit pretty hard.
I mostly stay close to home at this time of year to avoid all the issues.By the way, HSN is freezing my screen with all the headers so my patience is being tested.
It actually freezes my computer too (for a minute to two). If I miss posting that might be part of it. You know, my computer hit the wall…. cause I threw it…. (no really) 🙂Hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!
🍾 ♥ -
I am having the same problem. Also I cannot go from one thing to another. For some reason HSN sends me to other areas. For example: If I am in Community, I could wind up in clearance.
-
Good Evening sorry this is happening I do get a little wonky too with the computer.

Happy New Year to you and yours and it’s coming fast. 😎💕
Glad you and the family are doing well. 🎈
-
Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈Oz is alright today as we are in the 60’s and that will
not last long.I will enjoy whatever the day brings. 💕 I am taking my sweet time on everything.
I am enjoying the season. 💕🎈
What are you doing New Year’s Eve? 💕❤️

Sending New Year’s Blessing to you, your family and Jake. 😘💕
No worries we shall have a toast later this evening. 😘❤️

Chilly day in the ‘burgh. Warm tomorrow and Monday then back to the 20s and 30s the rest of the week.🥶
Last dinner out for Christmas today. It was very nice and had an aperol spritz for something different instead of a martini. That sure hit the spot!🍹
Staying home for New Year’s Eve. We will have our shrimp cocktail and champagne in front of the TV.🎊🎉
I think this will be a toasting week ahead, LOL! Sending New Year hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖
-
Good Evening and I hope you are enjoying staying home and keeping warm. 🎈❤️

We can just start our toasting now here is to Life! ❤️🎈
Lady your Hockey Team is making a comeback. ❤️💕😎
Good Luck with tomorrow’s Game.

You can get started on the Shrimp Cocktail too. 😎

Snuck into the Grand Palais with Shane today and had the best time 😂✨ So many laughs, so much fun, and such a beautiful place to wander together.

NATIONAL CANDY CANE DAY
National Candy Cane Day on December 26th gives candy lovers a day to celebrate the red and white striped candies found abundantly during the holidays.
In 1844, a recipe for a straight peppermint candy stick, which was white with colored stripes, was published. However, some stories tell of all-white candy sticks in much earlier times. Folklore tells of the origin of the candy cane, yet no documented proof of its real beginning. Literature begins mentioning the candy cane in 1866, and it was first known to be mentioned in connection with Christmas in 1874. As early as 1882, candy canes have been hung on Christmas trees.
-

NATIONAL THANK-YOU NOTE DAY
National Thank-You Note Day on December 26th recognized the time-honored tradition of thanking people for their gifts, hospitality, and generosity. It is a day to get some note cards, paper, pen, envelopes, and stamps to write those special thank-yous.
-

NATIONAL WHINERS DAY
As the year starts to wind down, National Whiners Day on December 26th allows an opportunity to complain about just roughly anything. If you want, you are allowed to whine about being too tired, or overeating. Maybe you want to whine about having to go back to work or all the cleaning up you have to do. Are the lines long in the return aisle at the store? You can whine about that, too. The possibilities are endless.
However, two essential parts of the day to remember are:
No whining about what you did not get for Christmas or do not have
And remember what you do have
Many people are less fortunate than others. Some are struggling to put food on the table or a roof over their heads. Others have no family or friends. Families without a single gift under the tree may simply be thankful to have each other. Others may be fighting disease and illnesses, and some may have coped with all of these. You may want to whine about something (and today you are allowed) but remember to be thankful for each gift you did receive and all that you do have. (And help others when you can). -

Had a real bad day that started last night. Had a sulfite reaction to yesterday’s rehab lunch with hubs. Not sure what was in the gravy or if the veggies were not fresh. Dessert was an apple pie with cinnamon that was put into an ice cream dish. Thank goodness for the meds I carry, but it was not enough to offset the reaction from last night to this evening. I will be having some soup in a few minutes.
I checked on the chiefs last night and they were ahead through the third quarter. I felt so sad for Kelsie. I hope he decides not to retire. I think he should return and leave on a high note if that is possible. He did have a good run this season, but, I think his teammates would love to see him in 2026. I know Taylor would probably let this be his decision. I guess we will need to wait and see on this one.
I did not see hubs today. I have a feeling he knows why. Tomorrow is another day. Hoping to stop at the Farmer’s Market. They have a good sale going on and it is everything I need for the freezer and veggies for the frig. Dragon fruit is on sale, so I may pick honeydew and a few other things in the fruit aisle. Cannot believe that this is the last weekend for 2025. Where has the year gone????
Have a great evening. Bet Poppy really enjoyed the turkey and probably begged for more. He is adorable. Hope your children had a great Christmas. Wonder if any will surprise you soon???
-
Good Evening and I hope your day went well. I have been out of it so much to do.
I did have an extra pair of hands. 🎈💕😎

Good day in S. California and I hope the worse in the weather is over in your area.

I hope and pray that you three are OK. I did see tons of pictures on the Internet and it is surreal.
Please be careful if you are out and about. -
Good day in the ‘burgh. 😎🎈I feel for Travis and the Kingdom.

No bad weather today so had lunch with friends at the casino. I am not a big gambler, came home with $10 more than what I went in with so I was happy, LOL!🎰 Nice afternoon. One more dinner tomorrow.
Sis is doing fine, thanks for asking. She is much more laid back than I am. I think that happens when you are away most of your life from family. I tend to worry about everything because I was always the one called upon for help.😟
Hang in there friend. I think I’ll have an early toast to the New Year later.🍸 Sending big hugs to you and Poppy.🤗💖
-
Good Evening this does not feel like a Friday Night. 💕😎🎈

Enjoy this fun toast and we will welcome in the New Year next week. 🎈😎

If this was truly it, then thank you #TravisKelce for a lifetime of memories. Three Super Bowls. A culture transformed. A city that learned how to believe again. You helped us fight for our right, brought joy, swagger, and heart to Arrowhead, and left a legacy that can never be erased. This place will always be yours.

“Last Christmas” – Wham George Michael
Happy Christmas
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone specialLast Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone specialOnce bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me?
Well, it’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise meMerry Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you”
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me againLast Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone specialLast Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone specialOh, oh, baby
A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god, I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry onA face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover, but you tore me apart
Now I’ve found a real love. You’ll never fool me againLast Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone specialLast Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone specialA face on a lover with a fire in his heart
I gave you my heart
A man under cover, but you tore him apart
Maybe next year I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone specialSpecial
Someone
Someone
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone specialWho give me something in return
I’ll give it to someone—
Hold my heart and watch it burn
I’ll give it to someone—I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone specialI thought you were here to stay
How could you love me for a day
I thought you were someone specialGave you my heart
I’ll give it to someone—
I’ll give it to someone—Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
You gave it awayI’ll give it to someone—

A’PHABET DAY OR NO “L” DAY
A’Phabet Day or No “L” Day on December 25th brings a pun to Christmas Day. The play on words is a pun on the word Noël, which is especially notable during Christmas because it means “to be born.”
-

CHRISTMAS DAY
Every year on December 25th, over 2 billion people around the world celebrate Christmas Day. Traditionally, Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Nonreligious people and those of different faiths celebrate the day as a cultural event.
Also known as Christmas Day, this holiday is derived from the Old English Crīstesmæsse which means Christ’s Mass. Today, Christmas is a public holiday in most countries. Only about a dozen countries do not recognize Christmas as a public holiday. Christmas traditions vary around the world and have evolved over time. They borrow from other traditions and cultures, too. Over time, beliefs and customs blended as peoples migrated and attitudes changed.
-

NATIONAL PUMPKIN PIE DAY
On December 25th, National Pumpkin Pie Day dishes up the slice many Americans are looking for around the dinner table. As they enjoy time with family or friends, they also take the opportunity to honor the ever-humble and often favored pumpkin pie.
-

-

This season isn’t only made of joy. It’s also shaped by who isn’t here.
The empty chairs. The voices we still listen for. The people we carry quietly, even as the world keeps celebrating.
If you’re moving through the holidays with tenderness, memory, or loss close to the surface, you’re not doing it wrong. Love doesn’t disappear just because someone does.
Today, this wreath is a remembering. For those gone.
For what was shared. For what still lives in us.
You’re allowed to hold both gratitude and grief, light and longing in the same breath.💕😘I miss my family. 💕
-

-

For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6)
This season and always, I want to thank you for making my heart happy! For appreciating my designs, and for allowing my pieces to become part of your life’s special moments. Words can’t express how much you mean to me and I am so grateful for you! I treasure this friendship we all share❤️
At Christmas, we’re reminded of what truly matters – faith, family, and gratitude.
May your home be filled with peace, your days with joy, and the year ahead with blessings beyond measure. Thank you for your trust, your friendship , and for sharing my passion for beautiful jewelry with me. Exciting things are happening in 2026.
Wishing you and those you love a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.Merry Christmas HSN Connie Craig Carroll. 💕🎈

Merry Christmas from our hearts to yours. I know today is a difficult one. Missing family during any holiday is not easy. However some of the instances that made us laugh seems to linger on during this season. Hope you find time to watch the game.
I have been at the Rehab since 11:30. Hubs and I had Christmas lunch together. The food wasn’t great, but being with him was just beautiful. He grinned ear to ear when he saw me.This will be a long day, but it’s worth it. Makes both of us smile.
I have a couple of cookie tins to hand out. It’s the third shift that I need to do. Guess that will happen Monday when most return. I hope you had a great day . I am super happy that your SIL is enjoying a vacation in Fl.. They picked a sunny week to take in the sights and sounds. What a great way to celebrate after all she has been through. I am still praying for her good health and then some. It also includes you. By the way, I would put an apron on Poppy and let him clean up. Merry Christmas.

Sheba, Hope you had a great day and enjoyed your Christmas!
Glad your Niece is having a great trip in Ireland. We really keep meaning to get there but there is so much to see all over even here at home.
The rain wasn’t too bad here, but we had a lot of wind last night. I found a few branches from a tree which was unusual. Today I hiked and lots of people were out too. I loved that! People with their dogs in Christmas headbands and fun things. -
Good day in the ‘burgh. 💕🎈Merry Christmas to you and your whole family.
Enjoy the laughter and the food and most of all the drinks. LOL! 🎈💕

Merry Christmas to you and the family.🎄🎅 Spent the day relaxing at home with hubs and having leftovers from yesterday’s dinner out. We are supposed to have lunch with some friends tomorrow but may have to cancel because of the weather. The day is supposed to start out with freezing rain/ice in the morning🌧️and then rain in the afternoon. One of those wait and see days.
Hope Santa granted all your wishes. Enjoy your time together, sending blessings, love and hugs.🤗💖

The True Meaning of Christmas (recited by Linus)
Linus’ speech about the true meaning of Christmas is the highlight of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Retrieved from The Bible, King James Version, Book 42 Luke, Chapter 2, verses 8 to 14.
Retrieved from A Charlie Brown Christmas:

“I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn’t have picked this
little tree,” said Charlie Brown. “Everything I do turns into
a disaster. I guess I don’t really know what Christmas is
all about. Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas
is all about?”“Sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you what Christmas is all about,”
said Linus. [Linus walks to center stage.]“Lights, please.”
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.–Book 42, Luke (002:08-14)
The Bible, King James Version[Linus picks up his blanket and shuffles off-stage.]

Silent Night
Song by Mariah CareySilent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Son of God (oh), love’s pure light
Radiant beams from thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus (Jesus) Lord (Jesus Lord at thy) at thy birth (thy birth)
Oh, Jesus Lord at thy birth
Sleep
Sleep (sleep)
Sleep in (heavenly, heavenly) heavenly peace
Sleep (sleep)
(Sleep) sleep
Sleep in heavenly, heavenly, heavenly peace
Peace
Peace
Sleep (heavenly peace)
Oh, sleep in heavenly peace -
