A while back, I bought some cashews in a plastic jar with removable lid. when the cashews were gone, I decided to clean and reuse the container. Sometimes, it's for storage of workshop parts, screws, bolts, washers, etc. This time, I decided to use the empty to hold Ginger Snaps. The brand I buy (from the dollar store) come in a bag so I figured it would be easier than clipping the bag each time I wanted a cookie.

The cookies have sugar so I only have 1 or 2 a week and noticed after a month, they aren't as crunchy as when the bag was first opened or when clipped every time I opened. Obviously, it's the air in the container making them stale where I'm unable to close tight like the bag.

As kids, my grandmother baked so well, that neighbors would come to watch her, taking notes as she kept all her secret recipes in her head!
My brother told me she used to work in a bakery and that's where she honed her cooking skills.

As far as her cookies go, when we visited, she would wrap her freshly baked cookies (chocolate chip were her best) in wax paper and aluminum foil for us to bring home.
We weren't concerned about sugar then, so the cookies weren't around long enough to become stale.

Something to note... her secret for soft chocolate chip cookies was substituting orange juice for milk in the recipe.

I'll scroll through some old emails or check photos in my phone and come across someone who passed on. While I'm not close to any CS members, I do remember those bloggers who were an active part of the CS community and are no longer with us.

Nearly a year ago, Willy passed away.
A few years now that wenever left us.
Bearwoman is gone too...

Thinkin' of ya!

The profile reads she's looking for an honest man, no lies. Her photo shows a woman medium height and a guesstimated weight of 145 to 150 pounds. Slim/Slender is her body type selection.
The thought through my head is she's lying or her perception is skewed.





A friend once told me he met a girl who was a "10" I was afraid to ask on which scale he graded her!

When building a new business. Why not use OPM/ other people's money as additional capital. I attended via zoom. 1pm last September 21, 2023. Buyer's valuation seminar for my housing loan application for my residential office. Reiki spa, salon, food delivery & cleaning service. Equipments & furnitures from my savings. I already hired 1 licensed massage therapist, 2 gay beauticians & 1 I.V. nurse. Target month for interior finishing of my residential office is October. Buenavista homes in Olongapo , Zambales. I thank God inspite of the pandemic & inflation rate the property I acquired last 1/22/20 at P808,241 is now at P2M. Peace & prosperity to us.

But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”

Over the years, we've all heard phrases like "if it's written for us to be together..." or "if it's written up there that the two of them should be together..." However, what many people probably don't know is that this matter is more complicated than that. And I say this because there are at least three situations in which God wants or "has written" for two people to be together (at least three situations that I know of, but there's the possibility and probability of more). Let's take and explain them one by one.

It might be written for two people to be together for 1 week, 2, 3... 1 month... 2, 3... 1 year... 2... 5 or as long as God wishes... during which time the two are meant to experience something... to learn something about themselves (what they like and don't like in a partner... what they want or don't want from a potential partner... etc.) or to feel for the first time what it's like to be in love or to go through a particular situation together... because God needed both of them to go through that situation... and it was best if they did it together as a couple, not separately as two strangers... or I don't know what other experiences that limited-term relationship might have brought them.

God might bring two people together to conceive a child... but not because they are soulmates, but because God needs that child to be born... and only from the union of those two... that child could come into existence.

God might bring two people together because they are meant to be together forever; they are soulmates and they need to meet and unite because they were created for each other.

So, when you say, "if it is written to be/together," consider all the possibilities... not just the last one (No. 3... soulmates), because things are not as simple as we sometimes wish... Thank you for your attention.

There was a time when politician and lawyer Rudy Giuliani was 'on top of the world' even if it was a small world. He was respected by many and (for the most part) made a contribution on controlling crime in New York. Somehow, he flipped from the good side of the law to the bad side. He's 79 years old now and eyeballs deep in legal troubles.

Things probably started going downhill when he started supporting Donald Trump in the 2016 election and was Trump's attorney during that time. Since Trump is known for not paying his attorneys, my guess is it started a financial difficulty for Rudy that only snowballed.

2023 isn't a good year for Rudy. He was indicted in Georgia for his part to overturn the results of the 2020 election and his role in January 6 insurrection. He lost the defamation case with the election workers and later admitted he lied about them. He's got to pay those two women.

Trump had a $100,000 a plate dinner to raise funds for Rudy's legal fees. Unknown what that netted (less Trump's fee) but that's not enough.

News today, Rudy's ex-lawyer has filed a lawsuit seeking nearly $1.4 million in unpaid bills.

He's been barred from practicing law and the bills are stacking up.

It's reported his Upper East Side apartment is on the market for $6.5 million.

That should keep the wolves off his doorstep. Oh, wait... he won't have a doorstep if the apartment sells.
Rudy... of your own doing, you're in deep shit.

I came across a profile this morning where the photo linked to a Canadian woman who posts YouTube videos. From there I found her before and after photos of her plastic surgery that involved moving the fat from her backside to her frontside.
The process is known as a Brazilian Butt Lift.
I first heard the term more than 12 years ago when one of the stylists at the hair salon I went to had the procedure done. Carla (not her real name) was an attractive woman of Latin/Spanish descent and maybe a little too friendly with me at times. She was difficult with English language and had huge buttocks. One day I was there to see my regular stylist and noticed this woman had gone through an amazing transformation. The shape and size of her belly and butt were smaller and her boobs were noticeably bigger. Her jeans were so tight, they looked like they were spray-painted on!
Woah... what happened to Carla? I asked my stylist and was told she had a Brazilian Butt Lift. Carla was friendlier now then in the past. Part of me said 'go for it' and the logical part of me said 'this could be trouble' so I never reacted to her friendly advances.
Less than a year later when I went to my regular stylist, I didn't see Carla and asked. I was told she had an offer to work at another salon and relocated.
So, this morning reading about a Brazilian Butt Lift, the cost, the pain and the woman/women who have the procedure done brought a smile to my face!

I guess I've got to be the first to bring today's top story about Hunter Biden being indictment on federal gun charges... more news at 11pm.
