I agree... And you are right, Tybee, MD Anderson is one of the best cancer centers in the world. Plus, treatment is of the essence--delays in...

TMS, that sounds horrid. Sending you lots of love, and to your mom, too.

It is certainly wrong by any of my ethical standards. Not to mention the religious golden rule principals of the supposed Christian right, which any...

Yes, with the story I mentioned, I checked again and here is what it said from NBC. I am guessing the child was being treated at MD Anderson, which...

In these days of disinformation it pays to check up on news sources. Last night the obnoxious ad from Homeland Security came on during my evening...

that sucks, TmS. Hope you are able to eat something today. ((( )))

I hope you find something. Hugs to you.

Trying to find the most bland things possible, such as crackers and toast. Only kept down two meals this week, I couldn't even keep down a half a...

last night - - spaghetti squash casserole. Simple and cheap. And yummy. Grilled cheese has been requested for tonight. Another simple, as long as...

This is inspiring me to take a look at my bathroom stuff. I know I have "tossables." We don't have a pharmacy on the islands so I do tend to keep...

I cleared out Mom's liquor cabinet this week and dropped the contents off to a new home yesterday. Someone picked up a couple of gardening books...

I hope that they can do so, and yes, there was nothing about how she could have stayed with a temporary guardian. I think it's terrible that they...

I find that context should be applied to stories such as this to help us better understand what has actually happened. I'm not sure if your source...

That's how I read it, early morning. Those of you who are so gung hung for deportations will be pleased to know that last week they deported a 10...

Homemade mac 'n cheese casserole w/peas and sausage.

Thanks. Writing this down to use if this new stuff doesn't work!

A combo of blue Dawn, white vinegar, and a bit of water in a spray bottle does wonders for soap scum and the like. Huge squirts of Dawn in the...

Bummer - we're not going to see it here (Ohio). We had total lunar eclipse, a blood moon - in the early hours of the 14th (March) It was lovely,...

Oh, sorry, there was much ado about Wagner being a favorite composer of Hitler. The Sound of Music is anti-Hitler. Anything anti-Hitler and all...

The reference above was rescinding child labor laws in the US. Don’t understand your reference? Wagner?

Cleaned out a few things n the garage we have been talking about getting rid of. My neighbors are down to the end and found someone finally to take...

no but fleeing/fighting the Nazis COULD be the sound of music. literally or figuratively. Unless you like Wagner.

Child labor laws being rescinded is hardly “the sound of music”!

Thought I would just reuse this thread. There is a partial solar eclipse this coming Saturday morning. Again, a google search should bring up the...

I'm not sure what this falls under, but I hope it ends up being frugal! LOL. Was looking for something to clean the shower with - lots of soap...

TMS, so sorry to hear about your mom b

Okay----I "forgot" to tell you kids about another classic chevy C-30 that I purchased last fall. It's another "fixer upper" that I started working...

Yesterday Budweiser pulled $150,000 sponsorship from our local Pride event. They have been a sponsor for decades. Interesting.

OMG! We are reverting to the 1930’s…. damn them!

okay---as i said elsewhere on this board, i recently acquired a '79 k10 pickup from a local rancher/farmer, who'd had it sitting with a broken motor...

that’s definitely true in the plant circles I travel in. The only ornamentals younger people seem to like are natives. And that’s fine, let them...

With everything going on, I couldn't find my dremel tool when I needed it. At a damaged frieght store I found the tool with bits for less then the...

Getting rid of two spatulas that I bought recently. Thought I needed more than one spatula. It hit me yesterday when I was moving the two new...

TMS, read to fast and didn't realize your mom also had cancer. Sending even more prayers and positive energies to you both.

TMS: I'm so sorry for your mother's diagnosis.

I met a retired family practice doctor today. He volunteers for hospice. He goes into facilities and homes and visits people weekly. Sometimes...

Yep, making from scratch requires a number of fresh herbs I'd have to buy..later in the summer I might have fresh growing. The very best one we ever...

Jackie, how wonderful!

Mom is glad we get along. Have met her husband and 2 sons as well, nice people. Kimberly has been getting to know Jackie a lot as a sister too. Her...

Ham and spinach quiche with homemade biscuits.

So nice that your family has been expanding in such a positive way!

It is a grain bowl night - black beans, farro, sweet potato with cabbage and cilantro and an avocado crema sauce.

I belong to a couple of "horticulture" groups and all have very good online presence. It is funny though that most members are older I guess because...

oh you have no idea of the general incompetence, or ennui, or both, of the organizations I deal with in their digital lives. They make me crazy! ...

Such happy news!

I hate logging onto a site I'm interested in and finding the events page stopped in 2022. Or earlier. It's maddening, and very off-putting. I've...

Sounds absolutely wonderful and heartwarming, Jackie. I'm thrilled for you.

Good luck with the bluebells. I have something labeled wood hyacinths. They spread well here in Maryland.

Oh, no! Well, if she's like me, she's prayed to God to take the cancer off her child and give it to her. Seemingly, God has yet to honor the other...

Trust me, I did to the medical supply house. Yesterday I sent a letter to his social worker where they asked me to do a welfare check, asking why...

A friend made them a long time ago. I enjoyed them, but have never made them myself.

I love falalfels! I have made them from a mix as well.

Thanks, IL. You've been very supportive with this and I appreciate it!

We made falafels last night...really like them...used a mix but just found a recipe that I'll try making next time. Anyone else enjoy falafels??

Last night was tilapia with steamed broccoli and wheat berries. Not sure about tonight. LOL - interesting that I'm not that well-planned for...
