Here’s is Francis Bean. He ruled the house for 15 years. He’s been gone for a few years now but we still miss him. It’s Friday Pet Thread! Share a pic of your pet.

Leo is looking forward to the weekend.

Drop those pets (and names) below.

We need more Dogs of Mantel.

I get that all the time. I’m not a fan of my birthday or Christmas. I’m still forced to celebrate them. I find that people don’t want to give me anything I’ll actually like. They think what I want is silly or childish and I shouldn’t ask for what I want. In reality I’m so easy to shop for. Cards, sports apparel, anything R2-D2, gift cards work great for books and video games. These things are a core part of who I am. Why shouldn’t I enjoy the things that make Yom, Tom? Anyways my wife bought me a box of cards. I beat the odds with 2 hits. Now that’s a birthday! (Olive celebrated her birthday today too!)

Do we all have that one friend that only “PCs” the best of the best? Whomever the new FOTM is they’re suddenly a super collector? I know I have a few. Especially this little girl. When she started collecting it was only Mike Trout. I remember her selling all her Zions to purchase LaMelo Ball. She’ll always chase. I don’t blame her.

Happy Birthday Olive! I love you!
