A little extra something for the guys....get some baby shampoo, lather it up on a clean washcloth, and use it to clean your eyelids. This removes dust, dirt, and dead skin cells from your eyelids, and it feels great. I learned this from an ophthalmologist, as I have blepharitis....yes, a real condition with a goofy…

Let’s also remember...lots of literary and film characters went on for years and years without aging appreciably. Tarzan. Miss Marple. Hercule Poirot. Charlie Brown. Matt Helm. Mike Hammer. Nancy Drew. The Hardy Boys. There’s no end of fictional characters who never age. Heck, Rex Stout refused to have Nero Wolfe age,…
OK, let’s say they make “James Bond” a code name. Then in future films we always have to deal with him introducing himself as “Bond, James Bond,” when suddenly an old friend comes up and yells, ‘HEY, LOOK, IT’S HAROLD NORTH! HAVEN’T SEEN YOU IN AGES, BUDDY! YOU STILL WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT?” and totally blows…
Plus...if “James Bond” is a code name, people would soon figure out that anyone using the name “James Bond” is trouble, and anyone using that name becomes an automatic target. It’s a horrendously stupid thing to do.
Vincent Price wrote lovingly of Karloff and his wife in one of his cookbooks, and includes recipes he got from them. Apparently the Karloffs and the Prices frequently were guests in each others’ houses. Can you imagine the dinner conversation?
My go-to soup is some of my homemade stock (normally chicken-based, but recently I threw in some leftover juices from a pork roast that gave it interesting depth and color) with some noodles and some chicken meat and mushrooms.
I’ve done asparagus-stuffed chicken bazoomba before, which is heavenly. I want to try something mushroom-based as well.
One of my favorite bands is now-defunct Saffire: The Uppity Blues Women, an all-woman multicultural blues band from Virginia. They used “Uppity” as a term of empowerment, and openly talked about the power of changing definitions, and even sang of that in their song “Bitch with a Bad Attitude” in which they sang of the…
A friend started seeing someone new, and the new person’s car was broken into, he was in an accident, he had trouble at work, his plumbing burst, etc., and then he turned to my friend and said, “I’m breaking up with you. You’re bad luck.”
Not to mention a current Facebook meme that maintains she was banned from the Olympics.
I remember watching her performance at the famous world championships where she yanked off her silver medal. My friends and I all watched the competition, and while we were impressed with Bonaly’s technique, we agreed her skate choreography was clunky and her artistic presentation was lacking.
Two stories:
I’ve bought used CDs from Amazon with great luck; everything’s been in near-pristine condition. Let the buyer beware, though...
Yup, the streaming services are OK but after a while they get to be expensive and annoying. I browse thrift shops and used book stores for used CDs, borrow from the library, etc., and have a great collection for far less than what I would spend on streaming stuff.
O say can you see
Even if you’re a true believer in supplements, you’re not guaranteed the actual ingredient. Some herbal supplements have been tested and found to contain none of the posted herb, or very little, and instead consist mostly of pulverized brown rice and in one case sawdust.
Oh, and a sprinkling of Old Bay. I’m in Maryland, after all.
Try plain yogurt! That’s what my recipe uses.
The recipe I use, which I got from the Washington Post back in the 90s, calls for some yogurt instead of mayo, includes the peas, onion, and celery, and calls for crushed Ritz crackers for the topping, which is quite good. Now I’m tempted to make it again.
