Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, -t! Your poor uncle.

Yeah. He was hanging out with people from his church when it happened, so I think he was probably having a pretty good time before, which is comforting.

-t, yikes! I hope he'll be okay.

Edit: Not you, Anne! That is not at all comforting!

That is comforting.
I tried and gave up on changing the bulb in my back porch light. Another time when it is not so drippy outside.
And then also ate a delicious sticky bun courtesy of the same neighbor who does all the snowblowing and gave us the bacon! Luckily, I'm going to bring them half a cheesecake later.

That's a good neighbor to have.

bonny, where did you find the toothpaste recipe, if I may ask?
Burrell, sorry for the delay. The toothpaste recipe is here.
I left out the Diatomaceous Earth and the xylitol. I had some calcium/magnesium tablets in-house, so used a coffee grinder to powder them, then mixed them with the coconut oil, baking soda and peppermint oil. I like the taste just fine and just love the way it makes my mouth feel when I'm done.
I've been using the same batch for a couple of weeks and have realized that it's dried a bit in the jar, so I'm planning on adding a bit more oil and giving it all a good turn.
At one point, I used my old toothpaste for one brushing and couldn't stand the chemically taste!

If it's paste toothpaste, not gel, save it for polishing silver jewelry (or silver) in a pinch. (I have silver polish, but when I'm upstairs and getting ready, and notice the jewelry is dingy, I use a little toothpaste on it.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I read through the alternatives to toothpaste - and I do have a friend that many years ago had a dental hygienist say use hydrogen peroxide - and it is easey good for minor buildup

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
NOLA fans, I am very glad your team won out yesterday. I am currently ensconced on the couch, twitching with every sack/hurry-up on Rodgers, and envying Cashmere her seats (if not the cold).
