@dolmansaxlil Thanks, I’ll investigate further. Do you have to have a premium AnyList account to do all that? Mr. AM has a premium account, but I don’t. We have a shared grocery list that he started, but I can’t start and share lists with him.

No one system is going to work for all kids. Doing it all one way or the other is going to leave someone behind.

Her method would have been great for me, and for my kids. We were all reading before kindergarten.

I remember moving and changing schools in 2nd grade. The new school had a heavy phonics program. It was all new to me, and it was boring. But I’m sure it was helpful to other kids.

@wtg I’ve been meaning to try this lighter version, less cheesy because I don’t want cheese sauce! Smitten Kitchen Broccoli Cheddar Soup

@Cindysphinx I don’t use most of the optional things, either. Sometimes I substitute things, if I I have something similar.

@dolmansaxlil I hadn’t thought about keeping them in Anylist!

I use a lot of their recipes, but I don’t use the app. Is it worth loading onto my iPad? Right now I have a browser tab group full of recipes that I use often.

And I always read the comments on the recipes!

Done!

I finally caved and opened an account there. It feels less like a cesspool than the place formerly known as Twitter.

In that case, how do I order an autographed copy from you?

@DeweyLOU I’m sorry; that’s terrible. What kind of factory was it?

@DeweyLOU Is Plausible Deception going to be available for e-readers? That’s my preferred way to read. If not, I’ll buy the bookity book.

Also, I’m basing this advice on assuming that you’re talking about RM? The behaviors you’ve previously described would be an absolute NO on my part if I were on the receiving end. A relationship is a two-way street, and it sounds like it hasn’t been that for a long time.

You can’t change people. You can only change your own actions, and how you react.

I’d bail. Self-protection first.

@ShiroKuro It feels like Twitter used to, pre-Elon. It has grown hugely since the election. I’m trying to figure out who to follow, and some that I’ve followed I’m muting because they repost too much or are too alarmist. But so far (one day), so good.

I am also relatively new on Threads, but I can’t figure out how to make the feed what I really want to see.

My main reason for joining Bluesky is that it’s not a Meta product, and it’s not an Elon product. And I want a news source that’s not as craven as my usual sources.

I just joined Bluesky Social.

Thanks for the travelogue! Detroit is now on my list of cities I’d like to visit.

Well, I’m not sure I want to go looking to see what that site is!

@DeweyLOU Thank you.

Our sanctuary was open on Election Day and the day after, for reflection and quiet.

I know most of our congregation is not happy with the outcome of the election, but I am trying not to assume that everyone feels the way I do. Our pastor is away right now, but she sent a message for us to be read in church.

We’ll keep caring for people, whether or not they agree with us. Onward.

I’m concentrating on making order singing in 2 choirs. It is very rewarding to get the harmonies right.

I can only control my little corner of the world, and what I can’t actually control…I control my reaction to it.

Sounds like it was a good experience over all. I’m glad! And I think listening to your recording after letting it go for a few days will also change your perspective on it. I know my recordings from Sonata piano camp were much better when my super-critical over-practiced brain wasn’t right on top of it.
