Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Whoa...

      It is hard to believe, but our puppies are no more.

     Instead, we've got half-grown dogs with puppy hearts. Fortunately, they're not peeing in the house as often, but they're still chewing and getting into trouble. (I lost a pillowcase last week, thanks to Tiger. He wanted a snack.) 

     Here Bo and Tiger are as pups, along with their 'niece' Freya. March 2025.


     And here they are now. This photo was just taken a few days ago. Oh my!


Meanwhile:

Farmer's Almanac predictions for the 2025-26 winter. Maybe... maybe not.

An HR expert gives four mistakes people often make during interviews.

A Dutch painting looted by a top Nazi official shows up in an Argentina real estate listing! (The home's owner just happens to the Nazi's daughter. Surprise, surprise. Another looted painting was glimpsed in a social media posting from her sister.)

Intense budgeting -- see where it got this girl. I'm not sure I'd go this hogwild, but it is interesting.

Fifty wonderful neighbors.

Two jets nearly collide at 30,000 feet...oops!  (They were actually 1,000 feet apart, but still...)


Kash Patel's girlfriend sues a podcaster who announces she's an Israeli spy. Lesson learned: be careful what you accuse people of, if you can't prove it. ("I'm not even Jewish!" she says.)

Two weeks of groceries for $45?  One of The Frugal Girl's readers says she does it.  (I've done similarly in short-term situations. It's not easy, but can be done.)

    And from Reddit -- your absolute cheapest (tasty) receipes. Including an intriguing one for Lebanese mujadara.

A new sign:



And finally -- the Boogie Woogie Stomp by Johnny Callahan. Get down, and enjoy


Have a great week.
