Crazy Mary's Cafe Finlayson Mn. My Review

  Crazy Mary's made it through covid and stayed up and running against the odds in a very small town. Even through a severe staffing shortage that has hit every small business in Pine County. They do their best to keep regular hours and a full menu with breakfast being one of their busiest times from my observation. (My driving by each morning and several times per day for work.)

Mary's has come through with large and sometimes out of the ordinary requests pretty last minute for family get togethers many time in the past few years and prices remain steady and competitive for the area. She is fast on togo orders for the lunch rush and everything is always clean and well maintained any time you come in. Daily specials and a good variety on the menu. The broasted chicken is one of my family's favorites. My personal is pancakes and eggs and I promise if you order over easy eggs  that is what you get. Hot and cooked correctly. I also recommend the Patty Melt. and the hot beef sandwich. Yes I like to eat.

Staff is always friendly and go out of their way to get the job done in a timely manner.

Mary and Christine treat you like family and that is pretty rare nowadays and much appreciated.

Cosmic Curator of Chaos -December 15th 2024

  

Pisces- You run late on the regular mostly because, well too bad so sad,you got other shit to do. Why change now? Seriously don't change, no one will notice anyway. Stop and get the coffee and some donuts and maybe an extra lunch in case you work over time.LOL your not gonna work over time the extra lunch is for 2nd break after coffee break. Just relax! Enjoy.

 Aquarius- WOW! Can you ever drink you been knockin back a case of beer a night on the regular and does it ever show! Try putting tea bags on your eyes when you go to bed at night....oops....I mean at 3 am when you pass out before work every night. Maybe just grow your bangs out wear a hat and sunglasses and pretending you are in mourning......because you will be.....for your liver.

  Capricorn- Your feet stink, seriously see someone about that you're going nowhere fast if you don't fix that. Don't worry about any holiday date specifically New Years Eve because really? THose Feet!

Sagittarius- You are the picture of a stuffed shirt only with pizza sauce slopped all over the front but you haven't had pizza in a week. So basically you look like a slob and you're boring. Step it up Sag, get some new clothes and stop boring everyone with your dry work stories, no one cares.

Scorpio- Things will go better in your relationships if you would just stop insisting on sex on the floor in front of the TV. That in itself isn't so bad it's the fact that you yell out whenever your team scores. The best thing you can do put a paper bag over your partner's head at least that way they can't be sure that your not paying attention to them. Make it fun draw your team logo on the bag!

Leo- As the year comes to an end try and get it through your head that YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS. Not only are you not the boss of everything, you are not the boss of anything! You can't run the show for Pete's sake you can't even run your own life. Go buy some new shoes.

Virgo- Stop thinking everyone wants to have sex with you and cut back on the mashed potatoes and gravy for awhile. Wok extra hours through the holiday season even if your workplace is closed you should volunteer to come in anyway. Start drinking scotch on the rocks at home alone things will look up.

Libra- quit your job, learn Mandarin and go ice fishing. Also clean your house first, hoarding is not an activity. Better yet find someone with OCD to get your house in order because Mandarin is way above your skill level and you will need all the time and silence you can get. Give it full two weeks before you give up and move on to pig latin. 

  

 Cancer- Stay home for three months and really think about what you have done, and don't sugarcoat it. Update your wardrobe frumpy butt other people have to see you. Don't be so selfish, get a python to keep you company.

   Gemini- This week is not looking good, you will have screaming diarrhea but won't be able to call in sick. Suck it up and eat some cheese but stay away from pepper jack. When all is said and done by the time Christmas is here you will be dehydrated and want to eat everything in sight and sleep for days. Fear not this will all clear up by New Years and then, well don't worry to much not everyone can be a winner.

Taurus- Go volunteer at a homeless shelter You have enough so share the wealth and give back. Where else will you find people to talk to anyway because you have been mean and selfish all year and no one wants to listen to you anymore if you're not offering food. Get rid of those purple paisley leggings your not Prince.

 Aries-You've got it made in the shade this week Aries, everything is going great with the exception of that nagging crazy itch you got going on in the nether regions. You will most likely need to get your barnacles scraped off but hey shit happens.

Spirit or Power Creatures by Cosmic Creator of Chaos

     The following are Power or Spirit creatures for each sign. according to The cosmic Creator of Chaos. These are the darker side of each personality some depicting danger, chaos, selfishness, laziness and manipulation and sometimes just downright mean verging on and crossing into evil.The CCOC or Doomsayer wants you to know that you have control over all these things and when,if and how you use them. So fear not these traits usually only present themselves in harmless but annoying ways.

                             Aries-Taurus=Gemini-Virgo-Sphinx

The sphinx has had a long history of secrecy and intrigue, being viewed by many cultures as guardians of knowledge and as speaking in riddles. The sphinx varies in physical features, but is almost always a composite of two or more animals, and some versions are part-human part-animal. Whatever the form, the sphinx embodies paradox, beautiful and alluring, she is also dangerous even deadly; encountering a sphinx is described as confusing and destructive and requires great caution when approaching. For Instance The Sphinx lures you in with charm and beauty before manipulating you into doing what they want all the while you think it was your own idea. For example: you are paying the majority of bills and entertainment costs while the Sphinx whiles away their day lolling around doing as they please napping,watching tv reading trashy magazines and making up fantasies in their head for you to carry out  and pay for. All with a smile on your face and a nagging something in the back of your head. Putting two Sphinxes together and it becomes a never ending power struggle until  no one knows which way the toilet paper roll goes on and it ends up on the floor next to the toilet, all the while each of you to refuse to do anything productive anymore and it's a marathon of eating oreo's from a box under the couch and everyone is wearing adult diapers because  you are both trying to win and eventually you are so disgusted with yourself  that you mutually agree to break your bond, go your separate ways and privately plot your next move and victim.

 

  

                                                  Scorpio-Libra-Cancer-Pisces-Dragon

Typically depicted as a large and powerful Serpent or other reptile it has magical or spiritual qualities, the most famous being the ability to breathe fire from their mouths. More often than not dragons were considered malevolent, associated with evil supernatural forces and the natural enemy of humanity. These people naturally have had it with humanity and have taken all they can. One wrong move or flinch and they will torch you and everyone around you just for the fun of it. These types should be given a wide berth and approached very carefully if at all. Never think that you have fooled them because they have long memories and relish a good blast of revenge with a fiery breath you will never see coming. To top it off they will feel very justified in doing it. That last piece of pizza or cake ? Don't even think about it  or your fingers will be burnt off with one blast and while you sit in tears over the loss they will eat that pizza and  cake right in front of you and smack their lips the whole time and then call for take out - put it on your credit card  then and only then will call 911  for your scorched nubs at the end of your hand.

                                      Capricorn-Sagittarius-Aquarius-Leo-Mermaid

(mer is the French word meaning "sea.") A mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and torso of human female and a fish-like tail. The male version of a mermaid is known as a "merman," and the gender-neutral plural is merfolk or merpeople. Merfolk appear in a plethora of cultures worldwide—legends often tell of mermaids singing to sailors, enchanting them, and luring them to their death. These are the sneakiest types to deal with but are easily eliminated from your life by either the Sphinx (because DUH!!  cat beats fish anyday.) or the Dragon which is by rights equal to the Sphinx but in different ways , it all comes down to distracting one or the other with snacks and or a comfy napping area. The problems comes in with the mermaid is that they are ever playing the victim but once you are lured in they can't make up their mind  and leave you hanging by your feet ,flapping in the breeze or the river until you just beg for mercy,which they never give and you must escape with your own wits.  Once you manage this NEVER look back let some other poor fool get caught in the net of the Mermaid who is very enticing but never satisfied until they have sucked the life out of and you are worthless to anyone else,an empty shell of a person walking around looking like Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont high but without all the pot .All empty and dumb with no happy ar munchies just endless wandering through dark damp streets and even the strays want nothing to do with you.

Cosmic Curator of Chaos

 Evilyn- Cosmic Curator of Chaos brings you her version of horoscopes from the ether. December 2024

Pieces: 🌚 You obviously have no intention of cutting your binge eating so at least try and mix it up with  alcohol to bring some balance to your life. Dilly Dilly! 

Aquarius: 🌕Try not to trip over your ego this holiday season,it's a big ask but for your own benefit. There is a lot of pork in your near Future,save some bacon for the rest of us. Salty.

Scorpio: 😳Confused all the time and looking like a lost puppy,just stay quiet and go with the flow. Don't walk in a pig crossing zone and for the love of all that is holy wash your armpits.

Leo: 🦇💩You buy all your gifts from a sleazy convenience store in a bad part of town and it shows in every area of your life. Lay low after any holiday parties and have a slick exit strategy, people are sick of your shit, but you know they just need to lower their expectations......A lot.

Virgo: 🙈🙉🙊should be your motto but you just can't help yourself. Queens and Kings of sarcasm and  misunderstood is what you are. Watch out for Henny Penny.

Cancer:🥰😍🤩🙂🥲🥹😑🤔😱😡🤢🐶Yes this is your love life on repeat you fall in love at the drop of a hat and you whine constantly,save yourself the heart ache and get a puppy. Just don't neglect the puppy the way you do people,puppies won't put up with your shit. Better luck next year.

Gemini: 💯🛀 just relax,you can't fix it. Eat some pie. 🥧 

Taurus:🌪️⚡☔🌀🌬️ you're just not gonna keep up don't even try,cover you head and wait for Spring.

Tourism Centers North and East Minnesota

Thompson Hill in Duluth is my favorite,but I am biased.  worked here in 2010 and the view,the building,and the staff are fantastic and very knowledgeable. The park like setting outside is perfect for picnics and pictures while you stretch your legs and plan your trip route.

I have yet to check the MooseLake center out but the little building is very cute and welcoming. I just have to remember to go there first before the grocery store.

Hinckley is another nice Little building to visit with very helpful staff. It's also across the parking lot from Tobies bakery, gotta get those caramel rolls and custard bismarks. ❤️🍪
