After I read his mother's obituary, I went on a sleuth through the Internet to see if I could find a used copy of his mother's cookbook.

I was relieved to confirm that my copy survived our big book purge of 2023.

A man left his fortune to the San Andreas Wildlife Preserve.


Some say that he was generous to a fault.

One thing i discovered in Japan is I don’t have the stomach for going up on tall observatories and such either. We went up to Shibuya Sky. Great view of Tokyo, but I was getting waves of vertigo. Had to just sit down while the fam looked out the glass.

And the vertigo lasted another couple days afterwards. No more towers for me.

Oh, my goodness! :o

A few tempers flared up today. Thankfully mine were under control.

Oh no!  I'm glad you kept your temper under control.

I can, maybe, look out but never down.

This just scares me.  I have told the story of searching for the missing cat and finding him inside the refrigerator.  He happily jumped out when I opened the door.

DR JANE I think I have told this story on HHW before.  My cousin and her husband and daughter went away for a weekend.....

When they got back, she couldn't find their cat.  She finally asked her four year old daughter who said she was afraid the cat would run away, so she put him in the record player....

My cousin went to the record player and listened a moment, then raised the lid.....the cat yowled, jumped up, bounced off the four walls of the living room and ran out the front door never to be seen again.

Pizza tartar? Supposedly there's an area in Ohio where they put on the toppings after cooking.
