Awesome! I have always thought St. Jude was a very worthy project.

I had reason to Google Danny Thomas recently, and was blown away by how very wrong I was in my assumptions about him.
An extraordinary man, to be sure.

Danny Thomas
  • Founder
More than 70 years ago, Danny Thomas, then a struggling young entertainer with a baby on the way, visited a Detroit church and was so moved during the Mass, he placed his last $7 in the collection box. When he realized what he’d done, Danny prayed for a way to pay the looming hospital bills. The next day, he was offered a small part that would pay 10 times the amount he’d given to the church. Danny had experienced the power of prayer.

Me too, until the time that I donated an amount that I could afford to them, only to have a follow up letter Thanking me for my donation, however, it, according to them was not enough, to help them do the work that they are trying to do. Please send more ASAP. I try to get past that and think of the kids, but, that approach turned me off completely. So I started to spend time and money supporting the Make a Wish Foundation. They seemed to appreciate whatever I could do. Now that I am retired and have no huge steady income, I have to be very selective in what I donate, but, I do what I can do.

Sounds like they need to replace someone in marketing. Even I know that making a donator feel cheap is not the way to go.

Ewwww! Mash potatoes with skins sounds so, so wrong. Sure it makes good roughage, but, think of the texture upset because "chunks" are still there. It's like having fried chicken with the feathers still attached.

No it's not, you're just being silly.
Skins are meant to be eaten - whether or not you like them is a matter of preference.
Feathers are not meant to be eaten. Period.

Besides, these are Ontario new potatoes. The skins are paper thin, very tasty, and oh-so-good for you.
Ya know, maybe you're so cranky sometimes because your diet is lacking in roughage. Hmmmm? ;)

Silly me. I forgot to eat supper, and now I'm more than a wee bit hungry.
My two choices are to go make some toast, which means I won't be able to take one of my nighttime tablets, or just suck it up and let my tummy grumble for a bit until I fall asleep.

I've had this cold and wicked cough now for a full two weeks. Time for it to go away. I've quite had enough. Anybody want it?
