OK... In 8th grade we had a Home-Ec class which consisted of sewing 1/2 the year and cooking the other 1/2. We were to make a recipe using jello. Each team of 4 was given a different recipe and then told to go to different stations to gather up the ingredients needed. I did the gathering for my team and gathered up some of everything at each station. We put it all into our mix and let it chill. It was truly beautiful to look at. One of the ingredients was Dreamwhip (fake whipped cream) It had 5 or 6 different layers from ruby red on the bottom to a pale pink & white top layer. (This 'layering') was before jello came out with a recipe how to do it this way, I believe.) Anyway the teacher had a fit for us failing to follow the recipe and we got a failing grade. Between being unable to sew a zipper into a dress and making the wrong jello recipe I nearly failed the class. There, I told you it was a long story. Just on general principle I refuse to have jello in my house. I'd ban zippers, too if I didn't need them.
Oh, how I miss Mister Rogers. He was such a kind soul, like Bob Ross, IMO. They both had a tranquility about them. A 'stillness' in them that made one want to be near them because one instinctually knew one would feel sooo much better after hanging around with them for a while. I miss the old times when our world wasn't so angry...
Miss C - when I helped my husband finish his PHD in chemical engineering I had hundreds of pages to read. What made it all come together was to read aloud each and every page. Reading each page out loud will catch EVERY typo/error the brain will easily overlook. It works!
'Putin Britain'? A grammar error, perhaps? I have found that the best way to avoid grammar errors is to read aloud what's been written before hitting 'send'.
Yep. He truly loves his feline forever friend! He seems to be an extremely patient man who cares deeply about his cat. I just love happy stories about people and animals. The world is much too full of unhappy animals stories, IMO. Good for you, Didga!
I believe that if the USA would give lottery winners the full amount of their winnings - tax-free - that there would be a tremendous amount of people playing the lottery. Good for us and good for the country, IMO. The lottery could 'declare' the amount to be won (after the gov't's take) so we would just be concerned with the share being given. Should the gov't want 50% of the take then fine, don't tell us that, just tell us what we will win IF we win! IF I don't have to pay tax on my winnings I would be very happy with whatever I won. Wouldn't you?
“Novel-reading strengthens the passions, weakens the virtues, and diminishes the power of self-control." Ha, Ha!!! I have always been an eager reader of 'novels' and I have NEVER had a problem with my self control! Now, if you will excuse me, I have an orgy to attend to...
I am an artist and a writer. I do not believe in writing or painting when it doesn't feel right. When 'the muse' has awakened then anything is possible. But trying to push the creative process when it's not ready only produces 'junk', IMO.
'Young Frankenstein', IMO, is one of the funniest movies I have ever scene. I rank it right up there along with 'The Princess Bride' for having the most quotable lines. Mr Wilder showed what he truly was when Gilda got sick and died her hard death. It takes a strong person - mentally, physically, ethically and spiritually to stay with someone while they are fighting to survive a terrible illness. Some people just can't do it. But to the ones who stay with their partner/friend to the bitter end I believe they have surely won their wings in heaven. Mr Wilder has my deepest respect and I am saddened at his passing. Thank you, sir for the many belly laughs you gave the world. Your golden ticket is waiting for you...
