Last week we watched the first part of season 5 of the series "Vikings". We'd been eagerly waiting for the latest episodes on Netflix and when they finally showed up, we dove right in. I enjoy the story but not the violence. When that's going on, I totally tune out. I turn away and sometimes I even block my ears. I cannot stand watching any type of violence or cruelty, especially when animals are involved! Does anyone else do this? Or are you glued to the scenes?
Anyhow, I've got a very busy day ahead, so let's get right to the funny stuff. I hope the images make you laugh and I wish you all a wonderful week ahead.
I love the last one! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, e! I hope it's a good one for you.
DeleteGood morning, Martha! Yes, I look away, or even hide behind my hair or a pillow. We just put up the tree last night (real one) and Murphy's eyes were as big as saucers. He was a kitten last Christmas but let's just say we put unbreakable ornaments near the bottom. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I know all about cats having eyes as big as saucers. It means trouble is brewing! Our cats are curious for a couple of days and then - thankfully - they lose interest in the tree.
DeleteOh, those poor terrorized ornaments, LOL! "Challenge accepted," indeed! We watched the first 2 or 3 seasons of "Vikings" but once Ragnar was gone from the series, we lost interest. And yes, it is terribly violent. But enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI must agree that the show is nowhere near as good as it was when Ragnar was in it. But we've invested so much time into it that I can't help but want to keep going!
DeleteNo Christmas is complete without Krampus! If there were a Krampus for cats, perhaps our Christmas trees would be safe.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if the three spirits would be enough to set the likes of Musk or Bezos straight. Perhaps three antitrust special prosecutors.
Dare I say that a show called Vikings seems like an odd choice if you don't like violence? It's sort of what they were known for back in the day.
I agree with you! I'm not sure three spirits would be quite enough to set them straight. And it is odd that I'd be watching this show. But it's not all violence. The story is quite good, so I just tune out the parts I don't like.
DeleteI dislike violent movies but not hubby. Thanks for the seasonal funnies
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Christine! I don't watch but my husband has no problem with it.
DeleteThe last one is on point.
ReplyDeleteI'm putting together a cat post. I borrowed the challenge one, and I borrowed two from Deb today. I may have a post yet.
Best strategy. I "borrow" all the time! How else can we put together decent posts?
DeleteYes, Christmas Carol is definitely an anti Bezos tract!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is! HAHA
DeleteThanks for providing the weekly laugh!
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure!
DeleteWe enjoyed a wonderful family weekend, which started on Friday and lasted 'til Sunday.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun seeing relations which included two of the grandchildren ... more happy memories made.
I do like your new header, it's perfect for the Season.
Many thanks for the seasonal funnies.
Enjoy your week.
All the best Jan
It sounds like a wonderful time, Jan! That indeed crates happy memories. I hope your week is going well!
DeleteThe year is almost over! Again, that was fast.
ReplyDeleteYes, it certainly was. WHOOSH...and it's almost over.
DeleteI do not like violence at all. I did not get very far reading Ten Little Indians.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I prefer more peaceful forms of entertainment.
DeleteThe Christmas tree with cats hit the mark. The trees are doomed.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Yes, they are doomed.
DeleteGlad you got to go to the city. I have watched many shows with my eyes closed like The Sopranos and The Blacklist. Great bunch of funnies. I still haven't put ornaments on the tree for fear of my newbies. XO
ReplyDeleteHAHA! You and me both. I can't tell you how many things I've watched with my eyes closed. I just don't want to view that. I hope the newbies behave! xo
DeleteOutlander is one of the few shows where its violence is a bit too much for me. It basically became torture porn
ReplyDeleteWe watched that one, too. That was very violent, as well. I kept my eyes closed through it all!
DeleteI don't watch violence either. I prefer something that makes me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Comedy is always my first choice.
DeleteHaha. I need a service bell for a hanukah wreath I have. Love that.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you're still here and doing well. Have a wonderful season.
Having native town around is blessing specially in this part of the age when old memories grow stronger.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chuckles. Last one made me laugh
