That's a great suggestion but it wasn't I who gave it to you.   My idea of breaking down boxes is to fold one end, jump on that folded end and do the "monster mash"  ... or smashing the grapes!

That's what I do! 😂

@Greeneyedlady21 I will look for vitamin E. 

@lolakimono 

I thought of you this week- hope it was better for you! 🌷

I watched some of the Isaac presentations yesterday. I didn't purchase anything but I enjoy watching him. Earlier this week, I received one of his dresses in the mail. It's a ditsy print dress with pockets. I now have all three colors! ☺️ I told my husband that I am going to wear my pretty clothes even if no one sees them. Life is too short to not enjoy your nice things. 

@Tennesseegal 

I have a couple of his ditsy print cardigans with matching scarves ... got them on lunchtime specials last summer.   Haven't yet worn them, either.

@jackthebear   Sale at Q is a laugh when most sites are more than 50% off for months.

Boy I forgot how long the Q presents a TSV.  The TSV music played and I went outside, grabbed the bird/squirrel water bowls/dishes and brought them in the house to wash them and fill them with warm water.  Fed the outside birds and squirrels.  TSV still on.  Went upstairs, greeted my own flock, refreshed their water dishes.  TSV still on.  Took laundry in the basement, started a load of wash, made some coffee.  TSV still on.

@LTT1   Have to cut off news by 5 or can't fall asleep...too worrisome.

To answer your question, SSDD.

I asked BF to estimate how many hours I have spent with/on my intern this week and he said "about 30,000."

He listens to these conversations and out of the side of my eye I see the face palm.  If he actually hit his face every time he hears what I have to say/repeat, he would need total reconstructive surgery by now.

@Bird mama I think you could read War And Peace and TSV would still be on ☺

I just read that a wealthy Chinese businessman just bought out Clarks shoes entirely.

Here's an excerpt from the South China Post in regards to Clarks

Li Ning, the gymnast-entrepreneur who lit the Olympic flame during China’s 2008 Games, has bought control of one of Britain’s oldest shoe producers, extending the global shopping spree by Chinese companies for famous international brands.

Viva China Holdings, the sports talent agency founded by Li, has agreed to pay £51 million (US$69.7 million) for 51 per cent of LionRock Capital Partners QiLe Limited, the private equity firm which will own the Clarks brand, according to a filing  to the Hong Kong stock exchange. The investment would give Viva China control of Clarks when LionRock completes its £100 million investment to recapitalise Clarks. Li is the non-executive chairman of LionRock.

Based in the same village in south-western England’s Somerset county for nearly two centuries since its establishment in 1825, Clarks’ business has struggled along with the global retailing industry, as the raging coronavirus pandemic kept staff from workshops and sapped the appetite for consumption. The retailer, operating 320 stores in the UK alone, had to cut 900 jobs last May out of a global workforce of 13,000, after reporting a 2019 loss of £83 million. The company warned of deteriorating performance in 2020.

“The challenges to our business brought on by Covid-19 have meant that we need more resources and investment to fully deliver [Clarks’] strategy and safeguard the future of our business,” said the shoemaker’s chief executive Giorgio Presca in November. “The new partnership with LionRock will provide this as well as the expertise to grow the Clarks brand in China, which remains a primary opportunity.”
