Bring a flashlight?
There's a lot of broken branches on the ground from last night's wind. Besides it's time to feed JamesBring a flashlight?

Very interesting! I'm wondering if this is a newer offering. I know I looked in 2019 and the only kind I found weren't Kosher for Passover. Also interesting that it's still not a replacement for seder matzo. I remember reading a rabbi's article about gluten free offerings and he got into how no gluten free matzo would ever be KfP and how there would never be gluten free challah suitable for Shabbat services or any other holiday function. At some point, I think they need to be more flexible because there are serious dietary issues involved. i.e. better to have a healthy person than one suffering. Thanks for this though. I will definitely be looking into it. I'm really hoping the matzo ball mix tastes enough like the regular stuff, because my last attempts with the gluten free stuff from other brands were awful. And I LOVE matzo ball soup! YUM!
It was the same way with communion until a few years ago and not every parish has the option but you still get "credit" for the sacrament even if you don't take it.

At this point, I have very little hope that it will be fixed. I don't want to get too emotionally invested in the idea of having to go car shopping, but I have a few things in mind in case it comes to this.
When the kids were younger and really up until last year, I was commuting to and from the office a lot. So that was several hours each day where I would get in a lot of time with my music. Quiet kind of spooks me, but I try for more meaningful noise.
I hate car shopping and from what I'm hearing this is not the time to be doing it due to production delays
Good luck

It's an interesting topic, and I've always been fascinated by the evolution of religion and the culture that goes with it.
It was at its worst when I was a kid. Everyone would be interested in what the other people are bringing for lunch, and I hated being that kid during Passover who was bringing an egg, matzo and some cheese. I have heard that medical centers brace for a surge in patients during Ramadan just because some people succumb to the heat and fasting that goes with it.

I wish I were like my friend. His most recent vehicle was purchased online and delivered to his driveway. He loves it, but I could never buy a vehicle and not sit in it and take it on a test drive. Assuming I have to go car shopping, I will be going in with attitude...kind of like when I was shopping after our 2013 accident. I wasn't planning to need a new car right now and after the crud I've been through, I have no qualms about walking out and moving on to a dealer whose sales staff isn't acting like a hungry bunch of vultures.

I think with me, it's that there's ALWAYS something making noise. The washing mashine, the dishwasher, the oven fan, a toilet flushing. And my daughter wouldn't sleep when she was a baby...it was sooooo hard to get her to nap. Then my son came along and he napped like a dream, but then woke up at 4am every day. And as he grew, he would cry at the drop of a hat about every tiny little thing. It got to the point where I just couldn't take noise. At all. So when the kids would go to school, I just wanted to sit in silence. I still have days where I'm REALLY sensitive, where even people's normal speaking voices are too loud for me and hurt my ears. But there's so much noise pollution that I just can't add to it with music. I do like to listen to music and sing along while I'm in the kitchen though. That's the exception.

Yeah, it's particularly bad where I work. Or at least at our old building. There was one summer that it was about 110 in the warehouse where we were walking, and it coincided with Ramadan. We had something like 14 people who collapsed in one day, and those weren't even Muslims, or at least not all of them. So if it was that bad for people who could eat and drink regularly, I can't imagine how it would feel not to be able to have even a swallow of water. It must be miserable. I know the sick aren't required to fast, but until they get to that point, they aren't considered sick. I'm not sure how they handle medical attention for that.

Hello-
Checking in with my AM workout and my walk. It was upper 50s/lower 60s today and sunny, so I wanted to get out.
I made vegetarian French dip sandwiches on ciabatta that I made today. It used sliced portobello mushrooms in place of the roast beef. It was really good. The ciabatta took a long time to make there was 5 hours of rising when all was said and done.
My husband has some Marriott points and we were going to use them in DC at the end of the month. We were hoping to catch the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin, but it looks like we will be off by a week. I might cancel because the museums are all closed anyway.
I think I am giving up on the collagen peptides I am taking. My stomach does not like it at all. I was hoping my body would adjust by now, but I am too uncomfortable to try to ride it out anymore.

When we went in September, the museums were open, but they were limiting admissions. I couldn't get any tickets though. We usually stay near the Capitol and the Mall, so we just walked around for two days. We walked around the Mall and to the different monuments. I could do that again. I'm getting stir crazy--and I am a total home body!
If the weather is going to be gross, I would just call it off. I have time to think about it.

Interesting...do you cook the mushrooms or do them raw? I don't like the texture of raw mushrooms, but I know some people eat them on salads and whatnot.
Can you use the Marriott points later, or do you have to use them now or lose them? I wouldn't think it would be worth it if everything is closed anyway. But maybe if you could go somewhere where there is a lot of nature, and you could hike, etc. it might be nice to get away for a little bit? I wish we could go somewhere, even for a night, but everything is still closed here. Amusement parks, restaurants, museums, movie theaters, zoos...and it needs to be closed. I just wish we could get our cases under control so we could do stuff again. Is it ridiculous that I miss just walking down a street with shops? Not even buying anything, but just being out in nice weather, getting some exercise, people watching, getting some fresh air and chatting with my daughter. It sounds stupid to miss something so trivial, but I do.

I really enjoy the National Museum of American History. My absolute favorite is the National Gallery, though. So much amazing artwork and it costs nothing to view it.

I sliced them thinly and sautéed them in olive oil. Then I added stuff like veggie broth, etc, so I had some jus to dip the sandwich in. I don't like raw mushrooms at all, but I love them cooked. I think they have a weird texture when they are raw, too.
I am not sure about the points. I don't know if we will go. But I always enjoy walking around the Mall and the monuments. But everything else is closed, so yeah. We have dinner reservations for two restaurants, but they are for outdoor seating. I am not sure what that would be like at the end of March! LOL I won't dine indoors yet.
I don't think it's ridiculous to miss the things you've mentioned at all. I think we're all feeling the same in one way or another. Even though some things here are opened at reduced capacity, I won't go into them. My husband and I used to go out for breakfast every other Friday and I miss that. I know we can always get it to go, it's not the same. My husband and I have been going to Longwood Gardens, but that's really like a botanical gardens, so we are able to keep our distance from others. We also don't go in their large conservatory, even though they limit the number of people who enter. I don't feel safe with ventilation and these variants that are supposed be more easily transmissible.

Good morning.
Just checking in with my workout. I might go out for a walk, but it depends on my stomach. Today is the first day I stopped taking the collagen peptides, so I am hoping my stomach responds quickly. So far, so good. It's too bad, because even though it is too early to notice any improvements in my joints, my skin looks a little better. Ah, well. It's not worth the stomach aches, though.
I ordered these Korean viscose wash cloths and I am saying good bye to my buf-puff. I think this is what they use in those Korean spas with the treatments where they scrub off the top 5 layers of your skin.
I didn't scrub hard at all, but my skin felt so smooth afterwards. I think this was the same price as a Buf-Puff, but I got eight of these cloths and I read you can wash them in the washing machine. Anyway, this is what passes for excitement in my life right now, so thanks for bearing with me.

At some point, I may hit you up for tips on places to stay. This February was supposed to be our DC trip with the kids, but since our July 2020 Disney trip got pushed and weren't ready to fly, we're probably going to push DC to Feb 2022. I've been several times, but the kids have never been. It's been ages for me and I always stayed with a close college friend who lived in Maryland, so I have no idea where to stay. Still, I loved the museums and just taking in all of the sights.
