There's no kelly green in my nail lacquer collection. I've got a ghastly green for Halloween season, a sage green, seafoam green, and fitness trainer green. I see a little nail shop opened in part of what was the local luthier's shop. No hurry to get out and about today. Spent a stupid amount of energy and time returning the defective monitor.
The computer joint authorized my refund even before they received the shipment. Was cleared as soon as it was in the system. It will need to be opened and inspected before it's binned. Or resold. But the refund is authorized, cool. Now waiting on the spiffy new monitor and "it's the pictures that got smaller".

There are some nice green car touchup paints (MG green, Ferrari red) but they are expensive. Mixing yellow, blue, and black gets messy.
I’ve found that nail poilsh and luthier work go hand in hand. I have nitrocellulose based nail polishes for finish touchup work. It’s getting hard to find. Recently bought what they call peel off polish. I needed a thin layer of a soft material in a light color for a pickup mount that goes against the finished wood of an acoustic instrument. Tried cork and it was too thick. The peel off seemed to work but time will tell.

There are more varieties of British Racing Green than there are British auto makers. In Italy, Rosso Corsa is not always Rosso Corsa. Alfa Red from Milano is different from Alfa Red from Alfasud. Guards Red is not Rosso Corsa. It used to be important to calibrate my monitor to see proper CMYK values. Coca Cola Red is very specific. Calibrate early and often.

My appointment with my gyno is in five weeks. She's not interested in my nail lacquer. And I'm glad of that.
I could watch that for hours
...nothin’ left to do but
Smile, Smile, Smile...
Smile, Smile, Smile...
Oh boy, the nut delivery truck just pulled up!
Please no offense intended but after 25 years of marriage, 2 daughters, 2 granddaughter's and a goddaughter, that is way too much information than I wanted to know.

I’d be squeamish about treating family.

In fact listening to exactly that right this moment.
Friday the 13th, Ides of March in sight, St. Patrick's in sight (lots of green rivers), and looks like this here this day
To my mild displeasure it appears that every single task on my big list of Things That Must Be Done is complete. If you don't count laundry, but that's going now. Will sleep well tonight.
I’ve been spending time with the Band Beyond Description Live/Love at the feet of the Sphinx!
Grateful Dead Radio...why oh Why didn’t I think of that first?!!
Grateful Dead Radio...why oh Why didn’t I think of that first?!!
Let's see.
In order:
Friday the 13th
Ides of March (the 15th)
My Birthday (the 16th)
St. Paddy's day (the 17th)
Nope no sleep for this GOF.
If this list is not something to Grump about then Nothing is.
Grump grump grump.

But city chicken doesn't taste like chicken
I don't think there's a restaurant in the UK or the USA that could legally list city chicken on it's menu. Therefore all city chicken would be "homemade" by default.
S.E. Asian countries are obviously exempted from the above.
Of course, all stated in the belief that "city chicken" means the same to you as it does to me!
I presume we would all be in agreement that the tails make convenient carry handles, but beyond that, they allow for pan frying without need of a spatula!
Bonus win!!!

The manky bits are premium menu items in some Chinese restaurants where I've been seen to dine. That does not leave other regional cuisines off the hook.

Nope, no dog. To my recollection it translates something "entrails in hot sauce". Think: Chinese menudo. No snake, no "bush meat" for this one. Horse is marked clearly on European menus, as there's an upcharge. Never had horse. Not interested, horses are friends.
