Pharmacists have a high level of microbiology training. It is weird when one of them escapes that mindset. But then, there are plenty of M.D....

When you ask the question, to which are you referring or what is your definition. In a sentence, my parents were saints for putting up with me as a...

That's not what I've been taught, but I did look that up and it seems that there are quotes in the Bible that refer to all people in the early...

LOL I don't believe in saints.

There is rust and city added fluoride, which can worsen the skin rash I have from wearing a mask, in my water. I switched to a nonfluoride toothpaste.

I hate the taste of my tap water. What I do is put it in a glass jug in the fridge and let it get really cold. That totally improves the taste. I...

Dinner with the grandkids last night -- spaghetti with red sauce (Creamette spaghetti for them, edamame pasta for us) and sliced cucumbers and...

Last night I had a free BK chicken sandwich: free because DH was picking one up for me at the drive-thru and when he went to pay, the staff member at...

I think people who wear masks are saints. They place the safety of others over their own convenience and selfish desires.

In the Bible all believers are saints, but it is a term used nowadays to denote people whose lives demonstrate extraordinary moral vision.

Random thoughts about saints: One of the first books I was given by my grandmother when I was really young was Lives of the Saints. I think...

Define what you mean by a saint please. I see people who are working with challenging situations, others who hang in longterm under trying...

Tomorrow I am making a loaf of bread. Last spring I made bread so often and loved it so gained 'covid bulge'. I have been holding off making a loaf...

Thanks for posting... will have to try this out! Main meal is lunch at this house... today was mushroom stew and homemade bread....

Chicken-broccoli stir-fry, brown rice.

This is the crack slaw recipe we use: https://www.budgetbytes.com/beef-cabbage-stir-fry/ Tonight is a veggie bowl - farro, sweet potato and black...

More eggplant bruschetta over quinoa and a frozen peanut butter bar.

Red beans and rice with smoked kielbasa.

I have no desire to go shopping. I got a DSW coupon and didn't use it. I also got a TJ Maxx gift card for my birthday and have no desire to go there...

The first thing that popped into my head was crack cocaine.

Finally looked up what crack slaw actually is. I am making this with 6 shrimp that need to be eaten up. I could not believe how many have posted...

Baked haddock :)

If I were looking for a mattress pad, I would probably source it from The Company Store, or maybe Bed, Bath & Beyond.

DW has bought a few "Amazon Basics" items, like an iPhone charger and a multiple-port USB charging block, and they've been fine. They don't feel...

Based on the news I have seen from Milwaukee (Grafton being a suburb of MKE) Steven Brandenburg has been fired from his job, and his pharmacist...

my city’s public health department put out a very carefully worded statement about park playgrounds in summertime. They did not say playgrounds are...

Why don't you just filter your water? We use a Pur filter on the tap. There are a number of different kinds that filter whatever you need out of...

Ok... simple living frugal suggestion..... Why not just put hot water in a Stanley thermos. I used to take with me all the time when working and it...

A Milwaukee pharmacist was arrested and accused of "tampering with and causing the destruction" of more than 550 doses of the Moderna vaccine against...

Speaking of textile purchases through Amazon, I just ordered my second twin size comforter. I absolutely love the one I got a few weeks ago. I get...

Your local journalists will appreciate it. They love subscribers.

I have no problem buying books from Amazon; anything else I scrutinize a LOT, reading the reviews with a fine-tooth comb. I look for warnings like,...

I like Miss Read’s Fairacre series so much better. Have all of them in paperback. There’s about 20 of those. I’ll have to check out Barbara Pym....

I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon now, and have seldom been disappointed. I do read the reviews, try to find source info, and check return policies. ...

The Miss Read books are classic cosy village books, around for decades. I have not read one myself. I do like village/neighborhood books set in...

Sears, Amazon, Newegg, even Walmart and many others, allow third party vendors to sell on their sites. My old company used to sell across all of...

We used to get a free weekly paper. It was great for local/area news. I know it was still being published a few months back, but we never got...

That's not a bad brand name. I kind of like Roselinlin, but a quick perusal of Amazon came up with IWOLLENCE, Farktop, USDisc't, NEYOUQE, MordenMiss,...

DW buys much more from Amazon than I do. I tend to reserve Amazon for the items I can't readily find elsewhere, like ink cartridges for our old...

Got the NYT digital subscription yesterday and read through the app. Forgot how much I liked it. Worth the $8/month.

Reading the Thrush Green series by Miss Read. Set in a small English village after World War II. Very cozy. Comfort reads. The Hoopla app through my...

OWS Operation Warp Speed briefing 1/12/2021 said 38 million doses have been made available to states "without a hitch". I guess it was not worth...

I love reading the local newspaper in my hand. I do the puzzles, I could also read on line, but it doesn't feel the same! They are down to 6 days a...

yes, and thanks.

My favorite Chinese brand name is Apeman. It’s the brand for cheap, but adequate GoPro knockoff cameras. I got one for $70 off Amazon a few years ago...

Just a thought.

Hmm, this means another thing to sit on the counter of my tiny beverage center. Not sure about that.

I second this idea; I have a large thermal carafe that's worth its weight in gold.

Chinese company names are often nonsensical; witness my canvas bag from Hozee. :D There's a business opportunity for someone who can convince them...

Iris, you might be better off with a thermal urn/pitcher that would keep your water hot. I looked at the kettles on Amazon and I only found one that...

I think it is probably correct in saying most consumer goods are made in China. Of all the stuff I order from Amazon, I can only think of one small...

This morning I timed how fast my kettle brought a full pot to 200 degrees (the recommended temp for French press): 6.5 minutes. It's about 2 minutes...

That is amazing, Razz. Thanks for sharing!

We subscribe to our local town paper, which is only published weekly.

Back to The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett. Ebooks can't be renewed so I had to wait a couple months to borrow it again.

I didn't quite make it to two weeks between grocery trips because we ran out of drinking water but close and I spent the same amount as when I went...

Our paper is sadly down to 4 days a week but I still love it. I don't care to get my news online, at least it isn't my first choice. I also love all...

We have saved a ton. Not doing our volunteer work, visiting, going out, or getting groceries so we rarely need to buy gas. No salon visits. No gym...

I buy a lot from Amazon but I look where it's coming from and definitely the return policy. I have no problem sending things back. As far as reviews,...
