not funny, sorry

yup. ugly

I agree with this

Due to the times, I was happy to hear that my grandchild has a passport secured at age 5

I came to suggest the library, too. You have given great suggestions here!

What they are is on the counter, with nothing under them, which is not where I keep boots.

I never tried the hash browns. They used to make fantastic pies, but I don't think that they are as good these days. It could be me, it seems that many things in many places just aren't the same lately.

I miss brown bread, remember that? My sister loved the stickies and yes... gone a while now

He

is

fine

The answer I was looking for.

A reread made that clear, sorry... doing 3 things at once isn't a good idea when one of them is trying to communicate. I usually avoid animal videos because they often tick me off.

You have more faith in humans than I do

odd that they had the camera ready in my opinion

Or that they were frightened by someone...or something

Well, mostly it was a monthly meeting where people told of any experiences they had that the police didn't share. It's good to know if cars are being broken into or things being stolen from porches. There were no cameras trained on people's homes other than their own. But everyone was encouraged to call the police if they saw something suspicious. That didn't seem intrusive to me, it is just what I do anyway. Neighbors should watch out for each other. Some of us do. One of the best additions to our neighborhood is a very young family and they are so nice, and the young man keeps an eye out.

For instance. I was coming home with my golden and we had just gotten out of the car. A very large, unknown to him the dog was coming right for us. I stuffed my dog back in the car... he actually saw it from his upstairs office and came out on his porch roof to try to distract the dog from me so I could get into the house. It turns out it was a neighbors dog that I had met.. fierce looking but not fierce. When I realized who it was, I called him by name and corralled him for the neighbor who owned him. .

So. He helped me when he thought I was in danger. I helped my neighbor who wasn't home by keeping track of her dog so he wouldn't get hurt. This is being neighborly. This is how it used to be. Now... people just don't look out for each other in a lot of cases. So.. Whatever. The young guy is so great and I appreciate him.

Forming a group didn't help, the good folks are still good and the bad guys benefit from the good guys watching out for them... life goes on

We tried to form a neighborhood watch in our little town in BC. People were outraged because they said it was just a reason to snoop into their lives. SMH. It was a short-lived endeavor. Maybe that accounts for the quotation marks? An attempt to reassure the neighborhood?

All news is broken. I have at times seen the same story reported on different networks or different sites and the details are rarely the same. Who knows what actually happened? You are absolutely correct about people not reading past the headline, too.

And while I'm venting, I am over speculative "news" and panel shows. I look at an article and it says "If so and so says/ does/is elected ..." and there are people who will just take this as gospel. No one knows what will happen until it does.

Many if not Most headlines are deceptive.

Great answer!!!

I am a huge fan of the books and have been since I stumbled on Outlander when it came out so many years ago. I have watched a fair number of episodes of the show, not nearly all, but stopped midway through S6 and don't plan to watch any future episodes. I will read book 10 and any other books related to the series. I am hoping that the Master Raymond book becomes a reality. I reread the series each time a new book comes out

edit/ clarify

I went out to lunch with my friend today. I stopped at the new little shop and bought some pirogi for tomorrow. I blame you. haha

To be fair, I first tried many many years ago...and I now have a better feel for the dough, but still. You still have my respect

​

edit, clarity

More butter is always okay, haha

Weirdly, I am way more conservative with butter on pirogi, I don't like them swimming, just... enough.

Respect. I tried pirogi making and failed spectacularly. Haluski is doable. We are losing our church ladies but there are a couple of local places where we can now buy a decent dozen. One in Monaca is really good.

This is the correct way to make it. Boiled potato cubes, cabbage and onion cooked in butter, dumplings ( I make egg dumplings) and butter, then add butter. Season to taste and add butter.

yay!! Pittsburgh certainly has some good people. This is the third post I have seen just today of people helping out strangers . . .
