WTF-Beta

@wtg That’s a great story. I’ve read in many places that dementia patients can sometimes sing, even when they can’t talk. The power of music lies so deeply in memory. My MIL is in memory care; they have music therapy/singalong on a regular basis. I don’t know if Mom sings or not, but she seems to enjoy it. I’m planning to go with a small group to sing at a congregation member’s memory care facility in a couple weeks. We’re practicing next week, going the following week. I restrung my guitar in anticipation of this and one other gig in July. (I’m a very rudimentary player; guitar is just meant to keep me singing in key!)

I also have Merlin. It's great! IDed a yellow warbler, a song I didn't recognize, while hiking along the river.

@AdagioM I’ve found that the IP isn’t great as a slow cooker. It heats from the bottom, there’s no ceramic crock to spread the heat up the sides, and it runs hot. I like the results from a Dutch oven better anyway.

They had Janet's favorite chardonnay for half the price here in Ohio. It was worth the trip just for that. Saved $500.

I love them in pots on the deck. So easy to step out and clip what I need.

Second. I ordered a hamburger from Wawa and got food poisoning a few weeks ago.

Me too.

I showed Mr SK, he concurs!

It's by and large an environmentally conscious industry to begin with.

Y’all are giving me Costco envy…

@Mik Did you see where the hemp is grown?

Yeah, he had prednisone face.

Made the bean soup tonight. Too bland, so I added more salt and pepper plus some liquid smoke. Tastes pretty good with an unfussy Bordeaux and sourdough toast.

Now I have a taste for Cheetos....

There's nothing wrong with usury laws. A strong network of state usury laws was one reason out of many for the high watermark of American middle and working class wealth in the mid-century.
