I keep seeing the trailers on TV and thinking they in no way match what I remember of the book, which was quite good. Plus I am really done with watching Woody Harrelson do his creepy schtick. I saw War for the Planet of the Apes, that was enough Woody for the year.

Virginia does it. In my area it's 6% (state and local.) I don't know if it makes a real difference to cash-strapped parents or not.

I used to have that one. I believe it had a great recipe for Chocolate No-Bakes.

Amazon used to sell refurbished ones, I don't know if they still do that. I got mine that way about ten years or so (combined with a kitchen appliances promotion discount) and it was reasonable-ish. And it will last me forever, I have no doubt.

Do you have the Mennonite Girls Can Cook books? I haven't quite warmed up to them, but they have nice pictures.

That's my mom's cookbook, she got married in 1969. I pored over that thing as a child and found my own copy in a used bookstore about 20 years ago.

Good grief, there are a lot of Mennonites here. I guess when food is mentioned, we crawl on out. I recommend Simply in Season, lots of good recipes for each season's produce. There's also a new edition of More-With-Less with pictures! Just selected recipes, not all of the old version.

That's probably the cookbook I would grab, the tattered cookbook my home (Mennonite) church put out in the mid-70s. Mom cooked a lot of things out of that book, like Texas Sheet Cake and Whole-Wheat Rolls

"I'm Finding It Hard to Believe…We're in Kevin."

In Pickle's Quiverfull home-schooled household of fourteen kids, they only use pen and paper. E-mail is the work of the Antichrist, along with vaccinations and fluoridated water.

I think they were hair pins, but either way, adorable.

They're upper Midwestern…they have Jello spoons, not hatchets.

I think it's a legitimate point, but not a legitimate critique since that was/is not the point of Alda's work. And is everything in life supposed to be Trump-colored now? Are we going to be viewing the world through orange glasses from here on out? Because that sounds depressing as fuck to me, and really a concession…

That sounds like PCC. I believe they also had male/female elevators and stairways. Reading PCC survivor stories is astonishing.

Northern Exposure, too. Plus the fact that Rob Morrow is a dick.

I know the hatred for Big Bang Theory is strong here, but I do have to give them credit for bringing in outside love interests that stuck and stayed. I just wish they had hung onto Sara Rue after her arc in Season Two (?) because she would have been a huge asset to the show and a much better partner for Leonard.

I gave a little gasp when he ran into the sign. It reinforced how small he is and vulnerable, and not really aware of the dangers around him.

You can't imagine him reading a book, singing along with music, being moved by a movie or a play, hugging a pet. playing with a child..,it's impossible to picture him enjoying virtually any of the simple human pleasures. Even sex, for him, could not possibly be about mutual human connection. (Sorry, I'll fetch the…

And now I'm sad because Gene and Roger are dead.

Truer than ever.
