It's funny that the term "do-gooders" becomes an insult. When aren't we all interested in doing good?

Steve, what does "ratio'ed" mean?

That's wonderful, glad the reaction passed, and glad you got your shot!

Me, too! I throw in white sage and say a prayer, and I think that helps, too.

Happy, here's one I might try if I get ambitious: https://damndelicious.net/2016/07/13/best-cauliflower-pizza-crust/

Thanks Terry. I have done everything they've asked for a year now. I haven't been able to see my grandson in two years. And they just keep...

Well, I overcooked it because it was the first time we used the new oven and we couldn't figure out the timer. We couldn't tell the difference and...

No vaccinations here in Maine or in New Hampshire where we are for those who are 65-70, even those with complicating health conditions. I got a...

That sounds good, happystuff. We are trying our first frozen cauliflower pizza.

It's a door problem--it is not hitting right to turn off the light, and you can't use the self cleaning latch. Supposedly we can try adjusting the...

We bought a stove at Habitat to replace the horrible one that came with the house--ancient and filthy, although it worked. They told us the new one...

I doubt it, having looked at them carefully.

That is weird-- but kind of cool and encouraging!

Aaahh!!!!

Oh man, Jane, no way! We are down to the 500 piece, something identifiable on every piece ones. Between my eyesight and my arthritis, I need clear...

Grits from my favorite South Carolina farm.

Cauliflower with feta.

Happystuff, I just want to say my dad was at Parris Island in 1945. I'm sitting here looking at his Guadacanal patch. Some of us are eternally...

So pretty. We are getting ready to start a new puzzle but can't quite figure out the best place to put it. New house, new puzzle issues!

Yes, our retirement has been completely blindsided by family "obligations", unfortunately. I think this is a good thing to try to plan for-- perhaps...

Not silly at all. I like your positive approach to building community, and wish you were my neighbor. We could walk our dogs together! I spend a...

razz, keep us posted--I may do the same, as we just made a new load--we could try to keep track of how many loads we get out of it.

We use the Duggars liquid soap recipe. I just looked this up about quantity, and discovered that someone did the math: " The recipe makes a...

I'm sorry for your loss, BikingLady. You are so right about the caregiver syndrome.
