Kathy Bates


Okay - what to talk about today?
Thank you Sandra aka Madsnapper for this 'moving mouth'.
I loved them because I am chatty and I do seem to talk a little bit about nothing - lol.


                                                   

THEY SAY EVERYONE HAS A TWIN. . .

I am asked at least two to three times a year if I am Kathy Bates or do I know I look like Kathy Bates.

Well, I happen to think she is much prettier than I am, but I suppose we do look a little similar, especially when I wear make-up.



Same haircut.
Same hair color.
Same round face - (I hear she has lost a lot of weight these days and probably doesn't look like this.)
Same double, triple chin.
So yes, I guess in a way we look alike.


Do you look like anybody famous?

OTHER INTERESTING NEWS . . . 

Thanks to my friend Darla, I made my own pickles.
They were okay, I think I had too much brine in it so I doctored it up a bit.
I will try again.
You should see her pickles!  YUMMY.



DISCO'S CORNER - Another way he sleeps during Covid or anytime really . . .







A COUPLE JOKES TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY . . .





SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT . . . 



THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Oh thanks so much for the doggy joke--it made me laugh...

I was once told that I looked like a pharmacist in our Town--so, of course, I went in to check it out, told her and we both agreed --NOPE we looked nothing like each other--had a good laugh though about it...
Funny how people see likenesses--sometimes I feel it's an expression that does it...
Hugs from afar julierose Stay safe...

I can see some resemblance between you and Kathy Bates.

I think your little Disco is as cute as can be. I can't imagine how my neck and head would feel if I slept in that position for any length of time.

I enjoyed your jokes and got a good chuckle from them, especially about being like dogs now. I hope I don't suddenly start using my Fuzzy Pom's wee wee pad.

Martha said...

Love the little jokes and the photos of Disco are so cute! I can definitely see a strong resemblance between you and Kathy Bates, you could easily be sisters at least. Have a great day :)

MadSnapper said...

dogs just slay me with all the different ways they love to sleep. this is hilarious to me and also heart warming, seeing disco so happy. i do see the resemblance since you mentioned it but not before. in the 90's when i was selling RE over and over i was asked if i was Janet Reno. I do see a little lookalike but i am better looking than her. LOL...my mother made the best of these pickles ever...

Theresa said...

Chatty Kathy, haha at the mouth moving:) I see the resemblance and why people ask you if you are Kathy Bates! I don't really look like anyone famous but my husband has been ask many times if he is Joe Namath:) He really does look like him. Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!

Bijoux said...

People often say I look familiar, but not like a famous person. There used to be some internet thing where you uploaded your photo to find your Doppelgänger and mine was a 20 something Asian MALE! How bizarre is that?

I'm mostly known as 'MA' said...

There are some similarities for sure. How nice to look like someone famous. Not me, I only look like myself and nothing famous about me. So true a about us turning into dogs here. I roam looking for food and eat too much. Yes and definitely keep away from strangers.. Thanks for the smiles to start my Monsy off with!

Knitty said...

Once upon a time I was told I looked like Stockard Channing or Ali McGraw but I don't think I look like them at all now (if ever) and I don't see a resemblance to anyone famous. Maybe to Disco if I slept on my back. Lol!

betty said...

I think you do look a lot like Kathy Bates Sandy, but don't sell yourself short. I think you are a beautiful woman! How can dogs sleep in positions like Disco does and look comfortable doing so? Loved the "book" by Dr. Fauci!

Stay safe and sane!

betty

Abby said...

I see the resemblance!
Disco is so funny. I had to work to see him in that first pic.

barbara woods said...

thats what I am a Dog

Sandee said...

You do look like her or she looks like you. Not sure who's older. Way cool.

Love the dog joke. I'm a dog. Who knew?

Have a fabulous day and week. Big hug. ♥

Terri D said...

Every once in a while someone will tell me I look like someone they know, but it is never anyone famous or that I know. I always enjoy your funnies at the end of your posts! Disco is a mess... so spoiled! LOL Have a good week, Sandie!

Mevely317 said...

My Macie Ann sleeps the same way! I'm all the time pulling her back off the edge ... to no avail.
I'd not noticed the resemblance until you posted these photos; but yep, I think the two of you could be sisters. Fun!

Ginny Hartzler said...

I love these two cartoons, they gave me such a laugh! I am going to steal them and post them on Facebook! Disco looks so uncomfortabe this way! You'd think all the blood would rush to his head! You DO look like Kathy Bates! When I was in my teens and twenties, people said I looked like Sally Field. That is NOT true now,for sure!

Debby@Just Breathe said...

Yes I agree with Sandra! I'm surprised I never caught that. Way to go on making pickles and that's too cute with Disco.

jack69 said...

Yep you two do look alike! BUT I thought Darth VAder was sitting on the other end of the table behind your pickles!!!
i did crack up at Disco!
Sherry, jack & JJ On the Road Again, next stop Idaho or Oregon.

Sending LOVE your way

Jo-Anne's Ramblings said...

A bloody great fun filled post that I liked

Hena Tayeb said...

Oh Disco.. so cute!
That's a wonderful compliment to get.. I don't think I look like anyone famous. Though when I was a teen my uncle used to compare me to an Indian actress.

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

Yes, there is a resemblance, two lovely women.

No one ever mixed me up with Raquel Welsh but I was often told that I looked like Carol Burnett which I always took as a compliment. Carol, Vicki Lawrence, and I could have made a good team.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Hi My Friend, I don't have a twin that I know of --but you and Kathy Bates do looik alike. Of course, you are prettier!!!!!

We love pickles --but don't make our own.. My Mom used to make delicious Bread and Butter pickles... YUM....

Disco is RULER of your HOME... He has to get lots of rest so that he can PROTECT the family... ha ha

Cute jokes...

Have an awesome week.
Hugs,
Betsy

Some people used to say...way back in the Dark Ages..that I used to look like Lee Remick...I never thought so.
Maybe you were Kathy's look alike or stand in double in her movies..(:0)

Red Rose Alley said...

Oh my, you DO resemble Kathy Bates. And I'm glad I got to see YOU! That's a nice picture of you, Sandie. That talking mouth is too funny. That's great that you made your own pickles. They look good! I love all the positions that Disco has when he sleeps hahaha. "Rise above it" picture is wonderful, I like that.
Oh, to answer your question, when I was younger, I was told that I looked a bit like Julia Roberts. Had the same long, brown, curly hair, brown eyes, and a big smile. : )

Lee said...

I'll try not to upset you, Sandie/Cathy...for fear you will make my life misery! :)

I have o idea if I look like anyone else...other than me.

Dear Disco...the star of of the dance floor...oops...chair! :)

Keep taking good care, Sandie...best wishes to you and your loved ones.

Hilary Melton-Butcher said...

Hi Sandie - yes you do look alike ... and Disco - special animal ... while Andy and his girlfriend look really happy ... stay safe - Hilary

Jim said...

Nice post again this week, Sandie. Better at home than Hoot'n Hollow? It's nice to know the person who is your lookalike. Only one person actually said first that it is the lawyer who represented the Texas lady who killed her husband by running over him with her Mercedes. I do look a lot like him but his white beard is rough and bushy, mine is soft and scraggly. Disco sure knows how to hunker down. The 11-year-old still likes to play hide and seek with us at our house. She also still plays on Face Time it with her friend, a school boy chum, who still lives in London. We have limited number of places downstairs when the garage and my "office" are off limits.
Thanks for peeking in on me. I wrote it up while taking a rest.
Stay Safe!!!

To answer your question on my blog..yes, the fires are going from one end of the State to the other..
It truly is a disaster.

Hootin Anni said...

They say we all have a twin. Mine isn't a celebrity, but my cousin & I are so much alike in looks even my KIDS were speechless when they met her

I always enjoy Disco photos!

Unknown said...

I don't think I see the resemblance!!!! But I don't always see things normally...lol! Loved the jokes,,,we gotta find more to laugh about these days:)

The Liberty Belle said...

Glad to see Disco keeping busy. LOL. The thought of homemade pickles right now sounds good. Have a wonderful week.

Buttercup said...

No celebrity double for me. I can see your resemblance to Kathy. Thanks for photos of one of my favorite doggies, my buddy Disco. Take care!

Starry Dawn said...

Oh! Your resemblance to Kathy is clearly visible. But, you are more beautiful.
I like the talking mouth. It looks interesting.
Disco sleeps in a strange way with his head down. Why?...
I don't recall to find a similar look like a famous person, yet I got a special and unique looks. I'm thrilled to admit I'm unique, nobody looks like me. It'll be hard to find someone who might play my role in a movie or video.
Not only my physical look, but also my personallity is completely unique.
We love you, my dear friend. I'm not Online much, due to My Diabetes and other health issues that make me feel so unwell. God bless you, family, loved ones.

Starry Love. said...

Hi Sandie, I'll send you a bunch of old photos with my resemblance to deceased
actresses. Of course, I was not their double, but a little bit similar...
I definetely do not resemblance to Gina. We were very different in appearance and temperament. I like this post! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
