snowy @GardenGerty I might put out a few for them if I see them scrounging for seeds and the like. I had one on the porch the other day looking for nibbles. if it is a cold winter like some are predicting. I may put out dryer fluff for them to insulate their nests.

I went to visit some friends and I met an 82-year-old woman who was struggling to walk - even with her walker. She told me how she often lacks sleep because she couldn't climb back to bed after going to the john, so she just leans...

DE @GardenGerty Exactly! A mattress on the floor is comfortable enough. I wonder if she could get up off of it to make it to the bathroom during the night, though?

And no, not just since yesterday's Minneapolis shooting. I didn't realize it was even going on, but evidently in many churches now, it is. As I have said before, I lived for a time in a small town in southern IL. My best friend...

Marie Coyle @GardenGerty Yes, our churches seem to get hit by panhandlers as well. I will say they seem to handle it well to try to steer the person(s) to get some assistance if they need it.

DE @GardenGerty I won't bake bacon, either. I tell Pretty the only bacon we can buy is already cooked bacon. I baked bacon once and had a big mess in the oven that I had to clean up. I'm surprised it didn't catch on fire. We don't Pizza Ranch here. Or, if we...

Jim Bauer @GardenGerty Worst case scenario anything I couldn't have used in a hurry could have been frozen and "used in a hurry" later. I am using the last of the pints of rice as we speak for a casserole and that should be the end of the Chinese food for now on this...
