Yeah, shin bones used to be really cheap and you cooked them for a long in a sauce. The bone marrow made the dish. I cannot find them in the supermarket anymore. In the fancy place they call them an osso bucco ingredient and charge an arm and a a leg. Of course, I challenge any of you to find decent liver (not…

These companies aren’t ‘particularly profitable’? Drop by Hartford, Connecticut one day and see what you think. Thank heaven or even LBJ that I have Medicare at my age. I paid into these rip-off plans for decades.

I should have written sweeping the floor. That is exactly what I meant to convey - floss first then brush. Rinse. I guess it’s all good. Dental hygiene is important not only for looks. We need it for health. I have said before that human teeth don’t seem to be designed for the job without maintenance.

And there this ought to be. If you can’t drive a car without passing tests, you should absolutely know how to use a firearm safely and responsibly before you can purchase even one of any type.

No, floss (it’s like brushing a floor before you mop)

If you take it to a shooting range and qualify, yes. If you imagine in any world that the shooter (that could be you) should use such a weapon in society, then no. I am an old white women who doesn’t want dumb people wielding weapons. They already do and harm people when they go hunting. God, lots of people cannot and…

May I comment? The ‘Venus of Willendorf’ is not obscene. It is a depiction of a female human which is a statuette from thousands of years ago

Let’s talk U S Grant. We have had corrupt administration. How about a history lesson? I lived through Nixon leaving this office - why can’t the Donald do that

This person is writing about MLK Jr. Not the monk who caused the Lutheran church to exist. Please, give that joke a rest.

We call that little boy an egg pan and use it often (perfect to cook 1 or 2 eggs at a time). It’s a 6 inch cast iron pan. Mine was purchased somewhere after the Summer of Love and before Nixon resigned. Still going strong - no moving parts!

Isn’t it always enough to drive a person crazy? Is that the game here - they stand there with straight faces spouting this stuff.

Perhaps these children with all their privilege do see what has happened before. Perhaps this as well as their horrible experience changes their viewpoints. Perhaps that is what they are making noise about. And if it’s because they are richer or whiter why care? Certainly, these kids didn’t live our lives, but they…

Yes, we are

My question - why can’t a ‘real man’ who can hold a decently paid job send his shirts out to be laundered and properly ironed?

never do I have any idea of what is being written. Who is the person? What happened?

That is what Lent is about. The “giving up chocolate” part is a personal Lenten practice of a form of austerity which reminds one of a person’s responsibility towards others.

Well, you know

If ‘diet’ could be off the table forever, I’d be happy. I do understand that some folks need to drop a few pounds after the holidays and artificially restrict their their normal eating temporarily. I do understand that in certain situations people find themselves unable to maintain health without medical intervention,…

That’s the way we did it in the olden days, unless you happened to be ‘socialites’ or something. We took those savings and used them for something else that wasn’t a wedding. I bought a new dress to be married in, my best friend brought a beautiful homemade cake, we offered Spanish sparkling wine for the toast. That…

I was almost afraid to write that my 6 inch cast iron pan is an egg pan. Decades of seasoning. I couldn’t speak about the price today. How do you take 1970 dollars into today’s money?
