Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
What I noticed is that the ads for covid vaccines no longer say "safe and effective", nstead they say the vaccines provide the "best" protection. Well, "best" is very subjective. with little legal implication. Who's going to tell me that I don't make the best carrot cake?
Burnt: Delicious sounding!
PB: Thank you so much!
Chantilly cake is a white cake with a whipped cream icing and fruit, different berries. It’s very good.
I love tiramisu!
My sister use to make a strawberry cake that looked the same, there was never any leftovers. Unfortunately, I never got her recipe and I couldn't find anything that made me go, ah that looks like it, until now.
Love, love, love a good tiramisu and a tres leche cake. Oh, and Texas sheet cake and hummingbird cake and, wait, I just like cake:-)
I wish you had gotten her recipe!
I find that it is a lighter cake. The icing isn’t super sweet which I don’t like.
I saw the recipe for Texas sheet cake on a few of the food blogs that I read. They look delicious.
And my phone is blowing up from the various weather notifications that I get. I should get chili out of the freezer or some Hoppin John.
Tiramisu is wonderful!
glad - we just has a decent snowfall but other than that we are doing well. Stay warm!!!!
That comment would be enough to leave me speechless! Wow, killing his mom.
The only justified reason for killing somebody is self defense.
My friend who is single owns a gun. She continually does target practice. We live in a high crime city.
Every time we turn around in New Orleans there is another murder and carjackings are rampant here.
I told my friend that I was afraid of guns. She told me never to get one then, because a criminal would take the gun away from me and kill me with my own weapon.
She says that she was taught that if you can’t pull the trigger and know how to properly use a gun to protect yourself, then you shouldn’t own one.
I guess that I am a wuss! I don’t know if I could ever kill someone.
Your story reminds me of two elderly women who did volunteer work with the homeless in New York. They lived in a very expensive area.
They were taking advantage of the homeless by pretending to care. They took them into their homes and then took out insurance policies on them and killed them for the money. One of the old women ran over a person with her car. That’s insane!
Can you imagine two old ladies killing off people for the insurance money? Geeeeeez.
Wasn’t there a woman who killed her husband (rolled over him) with her Mercedes Benz for having an affair? I remember hearing about that case too. She made sure that he was dead too!
Last message about cake was for ITRR, Not Llama.
That chantilly cake sounds great.
In my tiramisu, my recipe opted out of using mascarpone cheese and used an alternative. I also made it for a coworker and fortunately the kahlua wasn't noticed for some reason.
All take care.
It stopped snowing for awhile then started again. Got about six inches with round one. Now it appears it may snow until about 9 and add another couple of inches. So, the storm is not done yet. It looked the be heading out, then turned around and came back. Now the winds are starting.
This snow a record breaking January storm. Usually January is very dry. All this snow is great for our drought conditions! We really need the moisture!
Chaos ends in compliance. Okay then.
Thank you!
Send, can't see where you talked about not feeling well. Hope you are feeling better.
or to anyone who just needs a hug.

keep your head up, even when things are very tough.
There is still a semi, broken in half on I-70 trying to get it out. Saw a picture of a horse stuck in a snow drift being dug out by heavy equipment!
So glad I am not working 100 miles south! Sorry, to be repetitive but every time there is a storm coming in I am reminded!

Within a month of his death a local realtor approached her to say he thought he had someone interested in buying her house. Predatory, if you ask me. Well, evidently she did get a contract that fell. Now a video has been posted for marketing purposes and she posted that the house would be put on the market yesterday. It isn't yet.
She is experiencing grief over the loss of her husband like I have never seen from anyone, ever, in my life. Kinda makes me wonder if she is bipolar. But the depth of her grief is profound. I have not contacted her to tell her how predatory I think this realtor is, I am not a good friend and I'm sure her good friends have told her anything I possibly could. Once she sells the house, it is done, another final loss that cannot be undone.
With the depth of her grief, then to sell the home and mourn the loss of that too, I just cannot imagine how painful it would be for her.
I pray that she isn't getting hosed in the deal. My mom was approached by one of these sobs and they royally took advantage, like 100k+ advantage. She didn't consult anyone until it was a done deal.
I would encourage you to share my mom's experience, she may not be telling her friends and is telling you because you are a neighbor.
