    RIP Louis Gossett Jr.

    Wow, hadn't heard about that. He just had that something special about him, the it factor, kind of crackled across the screen.

    Where Can We Find Solar Eclipse Glasses (Not Online)?

    Maybe check at a planetarium if you have one nearby, or will be passing near one.

    slo’s THURSDAY 3/28 poll - Easter Lilies

    Don't care for them and always choose the tulip option at church instead.

    Question About Magic Bands

    Rechargeable is actually a better option, IMO. For some reason that didn't occur to me. We haven't been back to Disney since 2013, when MB were still being tested at a few resorts. The crowding and the incessant feeling of being herded deterred us from returning. We've kept abreast of many...

    Question About Magic Bands

    I thought Disney was pushing sustainable and environmentally friendly practices? Seems like magic bands with the ability to replace batteries would be a no brainer to reduce excess plastic. Curious they haven't done so more than ten years into their introduction.

    OMG, yes. Yet another horrific and tragic event that left so many families heartbroken and torn apart.

    Scary sounding terror attack in Moscow

    Hmm, I'm not remembering that at the moment. I immediately remembered Paris, was that six or seven years ago maybe? Whenever, wherever, chills the blood.

    Scary sounding terror attack in Moscow

    Horrific reports of gunmen entering a concert hall and firing upon crowd. Roof of auditorium on fire and threatening to collapse.

    Princess Kate Picture "Kill Notice "

    Makes perfect sense. Let's see, who can we get to deflect from what we don't want public speculation about? I know, let's pick the person who actually does have constitutional implications. For all of his flaws, I don't think there's any way Charles would ever agree to something like that...

    Princess Kate Picture "Kill Notice "

    For those who get something in return for spewing the nastiness they'll just keep it up. For those who spew just to spew, with zero regard for the humanity of anyone they degrade or mock, they'll probably keep it up as well. Still will never understand why -- I'm having an operation, I'll be...

    Princess Kate Picture "Kill Notice "

    Maybe it's preventative of spreading? In any event, hopefully her treatment will be quite successful. Maybe now she can be entitled of some measure of privacy and the ability to recuperate in peace? I'm sure all the prying and all the gossip has been super helpful for her and the children...

    Easter Traditions

    Our church has a big breakfast that we will attend before service. Have had to ditch all the other traditions of the day to accommodate the needs of our parents' failing health unfortunately. Been feeling a little blue about it actually.

    How many times during your working career did you think about slapping a co-worker across the face?

    There have been times over the years I'd like to tell someone what I'm really thinking, but slap, no, never.

    Princess Kate Picture "Kill Notice "

    A rumor from TASS, official Russian news agency no less. Thought that was so odd.

    Princess Kate Picture "Kill Notice "

    She's clearly balancing the books at long at last for all the attention her sister got at Kate's wedding. She's gotten a BBL and now realizes just how daunting a prospect it is to completely retool her wardrobe to accommodate her new figure, hence the need for extra time before resuming her...

    Chocolate Sculpted Easter Eggs at Disney’s Grand Floridian (pictures included)

    Those look quite interesting. I'm especially fascinated by the Alice in Wonderland one, looks so intricately constructed.

    What’s for Dinner Tonight?

    Usually turn the leftovers into soup with some barley and diced tomatoes, but had some folks pop in and join us last night so no leftovers this year. Tilapia tonight with some perfect asparagus I've been drooling for since I picked it up at the market Saturday. I'll probably round it out...

    Declining Dad

    The bold is absolutely the starting point. We've been going through this for just over a year with my mother and both in-laws, for three different issues. It's very challenging. The cause for the falls will be very important to determine which direction to take. Best of luck.

    homemade cornded beef without nitrate

    Interesting. I've never thought of cinnamon being included and just can't wrap my brain around it. I am curious since you say it is more about depth than being noticeable in the flavor profile.

    homemade cornded beef without nitrate

    Is cinnamon typically in the mix with corned beef seasoning? If it is I never even realized. If not, how much does it impact the flavor? Is it distinctly identifiable, or just bolsters the overall flavor?
