Mmfffph.. chocolate chip cookie…
A recent post from Cheryl S…Happy Easter
You’re just a cat feeder, Chris.
Chaos, I think I have your twin from another mother. He is always worried about his next meal, even while he’s eating the current one.
A recent post from Jennifer..Travel knitting
LOl, liked the GOT stuff
A recent post from blodeuedd..Review: The Summer He Came Home – Juliana Stone
Thanks again for so many great links and glad to see you include the Doctor Puppet. I LOVE the Doctor Puppet after discovering him back around Christmas. So much creativity!
Have a wonderful weekend Chris!
A recent post from Joder..Book Tour for Take Me Home, Cowboy by Krista Ames (Review & GIVEAWAY)
It is really unfortunate that I am getting hungry when looking at the cookity section. I’ll have to be strong and wait for dinner!
A recent post from Seanna Lea..[10 Tuesday] Bad jokes edition
So much to comment on today. I’m overwhelmed with the linky. 🙂 I loved the slo-mo humming bird. I put out several feeders for the humming birds year around. They are so fun to watch.
A recent post from Sophia (FV)..Amazon Buys GoodReads. What Will You Do?
Chaos-When will humans learn that cats don’t care what time it is- just keep the food coming.
A recent post from lorraine..No Ten On Tuesday
I have tried the scrambled egg thing but never succeeded. My newphew and i spent quite a lot of time on it – maybe I’ll have to try again the next time he visits.
A recent post from marylou..March Went Out Like A Lion
The day that Chaos learns to operate the can opener…
Those are some darn cute mice!
I really like LibraryThing, personally. I’m just waitin for them to put out an iPhone app. Bought a lifetime membership way back when.
What is up with your “T”?
And I totally spend crumpled money faster. GET THE ICKY USED MONEY OUT OF MY WALLET! I keep the pretty ones. 🙂
A recent post from Nicole..Friday Reads: familiar Friday 56
I find your keyboard rather scary, rearranging the letters? Eeep
Thank you so much for the linkity!
I can’t believe Amazon bought GoodReads…I think I need one of those gluten-free brownie cupcakes to recover from the shock…
Chaos – it’s not…one should always know where one’s next meal is coming from 🙂
A recent post from orannia..The Earth Isn’t Flat
Thanks for the mention, Chris!
Are you in a reading dip?
Kris n Good Books is locked down. Or maybe I just not logged in. *sigh* surfing from my phone sucks.
I love that video on the Science of Cats 🙂
Twix cake – how awesome 🙂 Beer flavoured bacon is awesome – our local butchers used to do it.
