I am 70 years old (2025), 25 pounds overweight, diabetic, and balding. I thought I should let people know, so they don't get any funny ideas. I am an artist, cat-lover, avid reader, baker, and I've been known to do hand crafts.

I'm currently baking a variant of crustless quiche which is a supper quiche.
6 eggs, 3 oz sausage, 4 oz cheddar, 4 oz mushroom, 2 oz olives, 1/2 c onion, 1&1/4 c evaporated milk. Chop as necessary, butter quiche pan, layer solids with cheese on top, pour liquid over, bake at 400 degrees 30 minutes.

Whipped butter and salad. French yogurt cake for dessert. See that theme there?

I'm experimenting with making French bread. I haven't made this style bread before, so I know I could screw it up. Especially since I'm using yeast with a best by date in March of this year. I want to have fresh bread for a dinner we're hosting on Saturday. Also, vegetarian quiche is on the menu.

She didn't want to be arrested for aborting her fetus.

Much of the political news that I've been reading makes me think that the U.S. would be very much better off if DJT were dead.
While I would not cheer if he were assassinated, I would be wonderfully relieved.

Here's my opinion and analogy of the Trump administration.
The President of the United States is supposed to do something like maintenance on a car with the running of the government.
Trump has shredded the tires, pulled out the upholstery and taken a tire iron to the windshield and headlights.

P.S. This whole thing smacks strongly of human trafficking and/or slavery.

I've been reading Connie Willis's posts on FB.
What keeps coming to mind about the "deportation" of folks without recourse to the judicial system is that this isn't so much deportation as "EX-portation." Especially the folks sent to prisons in foreign countries.

Thanks! That worked. I noticed a protest in Fargo, ND! North Dakota!!!

Thanks for the info. I tried the link you posted, but the web said I couldn't get in.

The link provided does not tell me where to find an event near me. It wants me to tell it who I am, Where I live, what my email address is, and then wants information on the event that I'd be hosting.
I didn't find any part of it that sent me to a simple list of already planned events.

I don't garden, but I've gotten the impression that Creeping Charlie was ground cover. I take it you're just keeping it from overwhelming the path.

I just ordered 'Diviner's Bow' from the Uncle, after getting reminders from Amazon that it was available. Uncle still had some signed copies, so I definitely got one of those! Looking forward reading it!

They were suspended for 24 hours? What!? The internal review concluded that the officers were not at fault, just doing their jobs? How blind do they think people are?

I could watch that for up to 10 minutes!

I've been having some of that problem, too. 2 siblings have died in sleep. Although my brother didn't die in his sleep, he was my younger brother which is especially scary, at least for me.

Hi, Margo! I couldn't figure out how to start a post to you, so I borrowed this one.

I had an Odie cat many years ago. She actually looked a lot like this cat.

I made one like that, even to the colors. So many years ago! I have no idea what happened to it.

Thanks, Larry! I tried that, but apparently I have no photos on the machine I'm using, so I don't find anything to use. I'm going to go look at my phone and see if I can pick something up there.

I only just got here, and I haven't figured out how to put up a user icon.
