I'll be on the lookout for the next who-knows-how long. It will help take my mind off the other things that are bugging me.
Marg, I'm so sorry to hear this. I enjoyed her posts and knowing that she was related to you.
This is the latest first snow I can remember. Various years in the past we've had a week-long subzero cold snap the first week of November, and our river started freezing over. Others there was open water for fishing as late as Thanksgiving Day.
I started out that test thinking how hard it is for the rest of us to understand how that must be for someone who has it. But as I worked through the questions, there were several that apply to me - I have in so many words told people that if they change clothes and/or I see them in a different context, be sure to remind me I've met them before. And come to think of it, all of the 40-something builders working on my new cabin look alike, and I don't even try to tell them apart, I just talk to the first one I come to as if he's in charge. And then there's the movie thing: all those 30-something male actors look alike to me and I firmly believe that unless there is a plot reason such as a confusion in identity built into the movie, there needs to be a blond, a brunette, and maybe a redhead among the main characters so I can tell them apart. So, look at me - mere moments after I'm congratulating myself on not having prosopagnosia, I'm realizing I'm right there with you trying to spell it, much less pronounce it.
We'll make the adjustment in our heads.
I hope there's some good news. Still sending good thoughts.
I remember seeing a documentary about an artist making glass sculptures, and he didn't have the glass blowing skills so worked alongside the artisan wielding his own hammer and tongs to shape the glass into what he was artistically envisioning. I pictured cooking that way - telling someone how to do it without being able to actually stir the ingredients and sense how they were progressing through the cooking process.
Hah!
I agree. His electorate thought it wasn't business as usual, but even if he wasn't (supposedly) a politician, he is now, and everyone should know politicians'll say anything to get elected.
Sending best wishes, Bugg.
Sometimes I wonder how did we live our whole lives without salted desserts including the ones with bacon. They taste good, but who'd have thought?
You did a great job, Teal.
Polka dots.
I don't think there is any hope for tofu. I have nothing against it, but ...
