What creeps me out about bats? Well, you can't get away from them. Mice or something, you can jump up on the couch or something & be out of their path but bats are all over the place. Plus they're super quiet so you don't see them coming (unlike birds, for example tho I know some people are petrified of birds). Plus they carry who knows what kinds of horrible diseases. Plus they'll get in my hair. Plus they're icky!

I didn't know they were quiet etc. and we actually have seen them in the past around our place.
Wonder what makes them go after people?
Like, what do they want? They do carry disease, or so I understand

I love it... nekkid bread! That's what I'm gonna call it from now on! And now that I think of it, I eat my toast in a certain "pattern" (you expected anything other from me? LOL!) & don't eat the crust. I give it to my DH. I told DH that's why I chose him out of all the guys in the world... he'd eat my crust for me so I didn't feel guilty about "wasting" it.
I more than make up for no butter on my toast. DH & I are originally from the South so trust me... we get plenty of fat in our diet (hey, who said lard wasn't a food group? And gravy? My body just flat out quits working without a certain blood level of gravy).

Dh was like that before he became a type 2 diabetic.
I can make some good gravy, but I don't bc we gave up fried foods, except once or twice a month in a restaurant as a treat.
(me...I could eat butter with a spoon! of course I try not to...just hate to see my saltines going nekkid

Her baby sister is a fan of Winnie the Pooh, so it should be a hit

If it was earlier in the day or the restaurant was less expensive, there would be a dish of assorted crackers (wrapped packets) and a dish of butter pats. That was back in the day, when restaurants served real butter, not the scary fake stuff.
I remember the pats of butter, too... with the little square of wax paper stuff on top of them. I also remember little tiny "crocks" with cream in them. Does that ring any bells?
You're from the Big EZ? My DH's kin is from there, too... small world! Who dat?!?
