I wish I could’ve found those for Thanksgiving. Instead, I used sliced processed turkey in my one pan dish and it was not very good at all.

That old Victorian Italianate house is lovely, agreed! Beautiful staircase. That is pretty much my favorite style of Victoriana.

The real time and money that we the taxpayers have been saved comes in prosecuting all the forms of influence pedaling that Hunter Biden is probably...

If it is true that all of Hunter’s back taxes and fees were paid even though they were NOT paid by him, OK I accept that. That’s the important...

Alan, that is a sad image of that guy’s last hours.

She is good at skittering around!

I receive solicitation letters and emails from organizations I donate to anyway, so Indon’t mind their end of year solicitations.

that Facebook page does not sound like a good thing at all. There are so many decor sides out there, hope you find a good one if you’re looking for...

I’m sorry you missed out seeing family. I overcooked our “one pan” dinner so it was not very good.��

Yes, Viking cruisers are senior citizens. but I do explore Viking routes sometimes.

That is a nice donation. There is a lot of poverty around there.

My decorating guru, Laurel Berne, said she dislikes having the backs of sofas face you as you enter a room. I was temporarily disheartened by her...

We get the Viking Cruise catalogs and flyers. I confess to looking at those but more often using Viking’s website.

Your dinner will be better than ours! —-Iris, not an exceptional cook

I plan to give $100 to our pet sitter. I plan to leave $100 tip plus whatever regular percentage on my restaurant tab when my garden club meets...

Yes! The charred innards of a fire damaged house.

There is never a completely level playing field. Why would you think that? I don’t think that. Some sports are dominated by the same person for...

Sure, you should be allowed to sign up in men’s sports as a man since that’s the category of sports you belong in. If when signing up you exceed the...

Catherine, your discomfort is legitimate and should be respected. This is the problem with “trans Women are women.” It means biological men who...

If by trans moms you mean biological males, of course, parenting support is universally needed but as you say, there are better venues. Le Leche...

You do not identify as trans. You do not say you are a woman. That’s the complete story. If you chose to breast feed your child as a form of...

Go Hawks! (As if I care)

yikes, that is a bleak outlook. But I won’t say that could never happen because unfortunately sometimes the bad people do prevail.

Awww, they must be super cute at this stage!

Most news sources are influenced by, and deliver their product with, opinion.

There are several recipes for assembling “1 pan Thanksgiving dinners” and I think that is a brilliant idea for small households.Here is one: ...

yes, you are right. Mea culpa. This is the number you are citing most likely. ...

One Googled source I read said that. I’ll go back and see if I can find it.
