one smallish dog and he leaves everything alone.

Probably because he can’t see what he might want to get into! J/k!

That’s an awfully cute doggie btw!

@Daniel a charcuterie board is a plate (board) with meats, cheeses, and olives laid out on it, like what you would see at a party.

@wtg oh my, that looks yummy! And so fancy!

Mr SK doesn’t like green olives, sadly. Which is too bad because I really do. He can kind of tolerate black olives (like in pasta salad), but that’s about it.

Speaking of charcuterie boards, I need to make some adjustments to the finger food I serve at parties, because it seems like it’s getting kind of repetitive.

I usually have: Cheese, crackers, olives, spinach artichoke dip, sometimes I’ll buy those pre-rolled salami+mozzarella or prosciutto+provolone …

Any suggestions for what else I could add or how I could switch it up so that it’s not too repetitive?

Great photos @adagiom !!

Japan is being impacted by this pretty severely (from what I can from this distance). Tons of sites have been taken offline to try to patch the flaws.

@mik those are adorable!

Very cute!!

I started turning ours on last week I think. If it’s below 66F it feels too cold to me. I also don't like it if it’s too hot. So it seems like I had the AC on a lot and then next day switched to heat

At night I’ve been setting the heater to 66, then turning it up when we get up to take the chill off.

@daniel I love Hung Up, that’s a great dance tune!

I used to love going out dancing when I was young, in my early 20s I lived in Minneapolis and would go dancing at First Avenue nightclub in downtown Mpls all the time (made famous by Prince). I continued dancing for exercise for a long time, so that’s one big thing I miss now with my foot problem.

That’s disconcerting

Well darn!

BTW I'm reminded of a friend from PW who used to have two grand pianos, as well as two uprights and at least one digital. And then one day he posted about not being able to turn down a free piano! (and he's not a piano tech btw)

I'll have to ask if he still has all those instruments.

@Mik there are tons of plastic ones but I like the wooden ones. Something like this:

@realplayer I’m so sorry to hear about your knee troubles!!

You can make the toe any width you like with a pair of inexpensive shoe stretching gadgets from Amazon.

I have a set. I used them on the shoes that I shared a photo of above. They do help, but there’s a limit to how much you can reshape a shoe, a better design would help even more.

I have a pair of shoes that has a toe box that is the perfect size and shape. But the heel is too low and they are mules (so can’t accommodate a heel insert). The shoes in the photo above have a great heel cup and sole, but need a wider toe box.

All I want is the toe box of the first pair of shoes with the heel and sole of the second, in one pair. Sigh.
