Welcome to my "Vacay Edition" of Weekly Roundup! While visiting my sister, we didn't get up to too many shenanigans but instead had a quiet and enjoyable visit. Here are a few hilites --
I got my ass whupped at cribbage. I only managed to win a measly couple of games.
A special treat was going for some yummy tiger tiger ice cream! This is a Canadian delicacy consisting of orange ice cream with a black licorice swirl. I've written previously about tiger tiger here.
I finally found and bought a replacement back scratcher for my old one which broke about 6 months ago! Victory is mine!
And I scored an awesome new Marvel t-shirt! (And before you ask -- no, I haven't seen the just-released Deadpool & Wolverine movie yet! I'm waiting until it streams on Disney+).

Can’t wait to see the movie. Love the shirt!
I used to play Cribbage back in the day and loved it. I don't know why I stopped ...
That looks like an industrial strength back-scratcher; should last a good long while.
...black licorice is an acquired taste that I never acquired!
Glad you had a good break! Oh yes, I need a back scratcher! Clothes hangers don't work perfectly. But no, no, no, to liquorice in ice cream.
Good to see you back. I used to play cribbage with my Dad as a kid. I don't think I ever won a game.
I'm glad you had a good visit with your sister. As for cribbage, I think I've played it twice in my life. I may be a little competitive and I might hate losing:)
Welcome back! Glad you had a good time with your sister. Oh, back scratchers ... what would we do without them? We just saw the new Deadpool movie a couple of days ago. The rest of the family knows more about the whole Marvel industry than I do, but I still thought it was funny. -Jenn
After I saw the Deadpool/Wolverine boy band opening on YouTube, I'm itching to see this movie as well.
You reminded me that I need a back scratcher! Thanks!
Glad you had fun with your sister.
I am not sure why you would need a backscratcher, given the long lineup of buxom butch lesbians eager to do the job for you? Nonetheless that is indeed a rawther victorious picture.
It's nice you were able to visit your sister in between the circuit parties.
Well, in line with most modern movies Deadpool and Wolverine DOES have a few commercial ti-ins. :-)
I don't know if I realized it was licorice, but I'm sure I've had ice cream that looks like that in the past. Anyway, welcome back. You've been missed.
I searched for Tiger Tiger ice cream in the US. No luck.
That is so kind of you to let your kid sister win at Cribbage. I NEED that tiger tiger ice cream. If we had that here, we both might be tempted to have it every day. My mouth is actually watering. We have telescoping back scratchers. SG couldn’t live without one. He’d love the big “hand size” of yours. I’m waiting for Deadpool & Wolverine, but will have to watch it by myself I think. And I’m sorry your vacay is over, but I’m so happy you’re back!
Holy moly, I've just discovered that the Blogger software has been upgraded to let me respond to individual comments! What a game changer! Thanks for liking my new tee, Marie!
I like big back-scratchers and I cannot lie.
I like the sweeter versions of black licorice but not the hardcore stuff.
Bears resort to scratching their backs against a tree. I was almost to the point of resorting to that when I found my new back-scratcher!
I learned how to play when I was a kid too. It's a big game on the Canadian prairies. The Maritimes too, I believe.
Cribbage CAN be a blood sport, it's true, if you take it too seriously.
It certainly helps to know all the preceding Marvel backstories, but all you really need to enjoy Deadpool is a dirty mind and a love of cartoon violence.
It will be EPIC!
You cannot survive in a dry climate without a good back-scratcher!
Do you know who I can contact about obtaining that lineup of buxom butch lesbians? Help a sister out!
Deadpool sex toys would be bestsellers! Disney, get on that right away!
Thanks, Kirk -- glad to be back!
After gun laws, socialized medicine, and no Trump, tiger tiger ice cream is the main advantage to being Canadian.
How did you know I LET her win? *wink*
glad you had a nice visit. in toronto, they called that ice cream tiger tail. i hate ice cream but i really liked that stuff you you can not find it anywhere in the states. but if trump gets elected (it's not going to happen!) and i have to move back to canada, i will eat that again!
Welcome back!
I'm glad that you had a nice visit with your sister, Debra! I had some great games of cribbage while I was in Nova Scotia. Oh would I love some tiger tiger ice cream.!
I knew an alternative name is "tiger tail" but I didn't know it was Toronto-centric! Thanks for that info, Joyce.
Merci beaucoup!
Maritimes crib players are LEGENDARY!
This is ultra fun and quirky!
Sounds like you had a great time!
Welcome back! I had to double check just to see when you were coming back ... Just in time for this coming full moon! I think it's already affecting my sleep! Ugh!! I hate when that happens!
Looking forward to the altar and Goddess!
Quirky is my middle name!
Yes, it was nice to get away for a bit of a break.
Yes, the Full Moon is on Monday, so see you then!
My sister is an avid cribbage player and taught my daughters and grandchildren to play. I never was interested.
Joanne, I bet your game was poker or something like that!
Yes Debra my blog has been upgraded to reply individually, it has only taken 16 years!!. Never played cribbage, 500 is my favourite game. That tiger tiger icecream looks scrumptious, most icecreams look good to me!
Big hugs
Peggy xxxx
This upgrade is like a miracle! I can't believe it!
Wow, no seniors' casino junkets or alcohol of any kind to be had, eh?
I am sure e would have some leads for you.
I'm just too darn wholesome for my own good.
It is so nice to have you back where you belong. We missed you. It sounds like you had a nice time with family and shopping.
Yes, I'm back and full of piss & vinegar!
I am hoping to see the new DEADPOOL. How is it our backscratchers come up missing so often.
They go missing because people steal them BEHIND OUR BACKS. . . . I'll show myself out now.
Sounds like a great visit, a time to regernrate.
have fun
the Ol'Buzzard
I do feel rejuvenated, yes!
The ice cream looks great,
it's the best to have a good time with your sister!
Yes, a back scraper is essential!
My parents played crib. If my dad won is because of skill, and if my mom won it was because of luck.
Yeah, sisters are the best, aren't they!
Luck or skill, I'll take a crib win any way I can get it, LOL!
Tiger ice cream! Hey, I learned something !
I always have a back scratcher with me, even when I travel. Joy to itch in a minute.
That is one extra superior back scratcher!
Back scratchers are truly indispensable.
Yes, it's a real Numero Uno!
Welcome back. I've not played crib in years. It was a favourite with my late father.
It's good to know that I am not alone with a sometimes itchy back in a spot that is impossible to reach - now I need a back scratcher too.
It's been around since the 1700s or something.
No worries when you've got a good back-scratcher!
I've never played cribbage or had Tiger Tiger ice cream! I also remember when I didn't need a back scratcher, you know, back when the shoulders could maneuver around better. 🤣 Time with your sister sounds like a lovely respite all the way around.
I am happy you could visit your sister dear Debra
The ice cream looks so yummy unfortunately 😍
It was nice to see my comment on your 2016 post :)
Oh my eldest son has watched the movie with his girlfriend and they liked it a lot
Come to Canada and I'll teach you cribbage while serving you tiger tiger ice cream!
You are a faithful reader and commenter!
Yes, everyone's raving about it!
