As to "doing the Lord's work" I'm really grateful that some people are examining their conscience and doing what they feel is right.

I think this is a good post. I tend to be surgery-averse for absolutely everyone; I can't even get myself to get my knees replaced, and they don't...

I did see the dishwasher magnets that frugal mentioned and they are really cool--they come in so many varieties, and I was going to get one for this...

for husband's birthday bought him a Sangean radio on Bae's recommendation. He absolutely loves it, a great gift. We are particularly enjoying the...

Yes, the open shelves would get very dusty here as we use wood stove and it seems to encourage dust. But I think the kitchen is really pretty.

White like this one:

Early morning, you are right about keeping it up--I had wood countertops in SC and always had a cutting board on top if I did anything on them. I...

I learned that my husband's great grandparents were born in what is now Ukraine and Moldava. He could get Ukranian citizenship, not that he wants...

My husband's dad also told him the vacuum one, so it wasn't just my parents.

I don't know, the more I think about it, the less I would want this job. Like if they wanted my kids' addresses, and their neighbors--no way would I...

I don't understand why you go from someone saying they feel non-binary to the surgery thing, or the minor children thing. That's not what the two...

I don't understand why anyone feels the need to mock someone for describing their feelings about their own identity. I also don't get why saying you...

that sounds like a very good way to handle it, and I agree it's odd and it wouldn't make me want to work there.

Exactly!

I think I would ask for clarification on the process itself, say that this is something you have not been asked before in background checks, and see...

If you vacuum one spot on the rug too long, the vacuum cleaner will ignite.

I'm really uncomfortable with the idea that women have to fit into a fixed definition and do "female things." That's why my mother was the only...

And "stewardship".

Definitely, the grieving is for the children and the siblings, and the problems are because the inheritance ends up affecting more than the children...

I heard about gum thing but not the German POWs toothpaste story. There was a German POW camp in SC near Savannah and my dad told me that during the...

I like a healthy expression of different viewpoints about our own identities; I think it's a good thing, culturally speaking.

I am watching a Canadian show, Family Law, and really enjoying it. Lots of creative plots with interesting family dynamics.

If they do end up selling the family farm, be prepared for a lot of grief and loss. We sold my granddad's commercial property before my cousin died...

This conversation reminds me of a movie I really liked, the movie about the Klimt painting, Woman in Gold, about Maria Altmann fighting the Austrian...

Rachel, I like your idea of giving houses very much! I have just given my fourth stove to the Navajo reservation foundation that I give to; they...

I'm going to exit this particular thread and wish everyone peace.

I can think of one quick way to improve it.

I wasn't factoring in the generics and tier questions properly. What a weird way to define a deductible, huh?

My view of the situation is more in line with that of Judge Biery.

Have you looked on Etsy? I've had a lot of luck with rare seeds there.

I am so grateful to God that Liam has been returned home. Apparently there are two other students from his elementary school who are detained there.

Here where we live parents are taking other people's children to school. Parents are forming protective rings around the school at drop off....

As I recall he stated he was not going to post anymore, maybe around 2017 or so? (just guessing) I sent him some collard seeds from Michigan.

All you knitters out there, get the Melt the Ice pattern on ravelry--it's five dollars. If you don't knit, buy the pattern for someone who does!

When I did the plan checking in October, I don't think I understood this. Oh well. Maybe I'll get it right next year. Water under the bridge, I...

I checked it out on microsoft copilot and apparently on my plan, deductible does not apply to generics and lower tier drugs: "✔ Most generics...

Yes, the tactics are the message.

And how many bystanders will be terrorized, like the family trying to drive their kid home from a basketball game where they gassed the car and the...

New Frontline out about what is happening, preview looks informative

I am thinking I don't understand the deductible concept anymore. I used to pay for the drugs first and met the deductible before they dropped in...

Frugal, let's hope ICE doesn't act in Ohio and St. Louis like they have acted in Minneapolis and in Maine. If they do, then citizens will be have...

What's he got against poor Ohio? I went to high school in Ohio, such a beautiful place, with wonderful people.

I think they are occupying Minneapolis, are starting to occupy Portland, and I have heard they are moving next to Boston, with that last being a...

That's good to hear. I read a theory last night that they were occupying Minnesota so as to stage invasion of Canada. Maine would fit into that...

I take some reassurance from that, Rosa, here goes: ICE agents shatter window, leave 1-month-old baby, mother in car after Portland arrest I am...

anyone else feel it is dangerous to speak freely now?

Yes, Watkins is MLM, but you can buy some of their spices at Walmarts and Menards, in my experience.

Not really familiar with them--we buy as many spices as we can from Watkins, which is from Minnesota. Their black pepper and their vanilla are...

They are gassing residential neighborhoods in Minneapolis with chemical agents.

That is really good news, Catherine!
