A proud moment, with diligence I almost made it through today's posts.

Sorry, missed a majority of the weekend. Ooops.

Yup and yup. First of all, here's a new story from today--pedestrian killed in Arizona from self-driving car. Woman was crossing the street, outside of the crosswalk. I work in a large city and I see stupid stuff all the time--people constantly jaywalking, or just staring down at their phones, oblivious to the fact that they just stepped out into a street full of moving traffic! Just maybe someone in a regular car might have seen that woman, and slammed on the brakes in time. Too late now.

As for the "fun" of driving a vehicle (car, bus, motorcycle), it's not for me; but most men I know love to drive. Hubs hates the thought of anyone but him driving, and he basically doesn't trust (many) other drivers, let alone a machine driver.

And I also have a personal issue with GPS being the only way to find places anymore, when in your car. Hubs likes GPS, but I like paper maps. It's like a little treasure hunt to me to find routes to places. Also, sometimes GPS may not work in certain mountainous areas, like what happened to us a year ago, out in the Berkshires in western MA. Well it was a darn good thing I brought along my dinosaur paper map to refer to, once we got out of GPS range!

Same here. Last trip we looked up one place where we were going and went duh that right by something else we've been to

Watching the Princess Bride. My mom is just starting to figure out that I've seen this movie a few too many times...

Just??????????????????? Does she not live with you?

Thanks, Minnie.
Just so messed up and so unusual for this city.
Apparently, the freak is now on to trip wires as triggering devices. The two 20-something victims from this morning survived and are expected to make full recoveries.
This person seems to be going clockwise around the city location-wise, so far...1, 3, 5, and now 7 o'clock with this most recent bombing. 9 and 11 could be next. And we're pretty much at 11, and live at the end of a very dark dead-end street.
We have two big very aware noisy dogs and motion activated lights, but, still pretty scary stuff.
Prayers to all affected, and hope they find this sicko before anyone else gets injured, or worse.
This crap shouldn't be happening anywhere.

Stay safe my friend

Not going to pretend @MinnieM123 to have kept up here but did you add to your list that Claires also filed for bankruptcy?

Now where will the teens go to poke a 3rd hole in their nose on Spring Break?

Piercing Pagoda. The one thing Claire's did well at least the ones by me was check ID for piercings

Best news I've seen all day!!! Love it!!!

My Gran had me learning to cook at a very early age from scratch. She obviously knew her daughter in law (Yep My Mom) didn't have the skills to teach me.

My first lesson was from an aunt who said grab any cookbook and plan a meal. we went shopping and she talked me through making dinner. I was too young to know steak with a wine reduction and dutchess poatatoes shouldn't have been the first cooking attempt It must have turned out well because I got to cook the next holiday dinner all by myself.

Really? I didn't even know that Cosmic had a falafel burger. Guess it's a moot point now if it's gone?!

For all of us with bad weather I'm sharing

Yes, I did add Claires to my list. Never bought much in there, but one thing I did like was that they seemed to have items that are hard to find--case in point--they had these little rubber inserts that you could put on a ring. It would secure the ring, if the ring was too large for your finger. Haven't a clue where to buy those anymore if Claires will be gone.
