If the store's policy is you can return anything for any reason, then I don't see why you shouldn't return the powder.

We have lots of fun can coozies and I always pick out a special one for each person going out on the boat w/ us. (The cozie might have a favorite team logo or say "Captain" on it). Everyone needs a coozie to hold their favorite cold beverage on a hot day on the lake.
We also have lots of the dime store "noodles" that everyone likes to float on when we stop to swim on a hot day.

I really like that shirt!
I think ruffles can flatter any body type-it’s just a matter of the size and positioning of the ruffles. I think ruffles are really good for anyone w/ a rectangular shape. They create some shape and draw the attention up towards the face.
Every style is going to look better on a tall, young, thin person. I don’t think that means the rest of us have to walk around in sackcloth.

Kate does take great photos and her kids are beautiful.
I’ll bet that sweater Louis is wearing will be sold out soon.

Your link is behind a pay wall for me but I’d be interested to read it. There is tons of science and experts who say it is good for you plus it’s been in use for thousands of years in a variety of civilisations so I’m curious to see what overrides all that. According to the New York Times article, previous studies of intermittent fasting “were smaller, of shorter duration and without control groups.” This study was published by The New England Journal of Medicine, which lends it a lot of credence in my mind. I thought the most depressing thing about the article was that a large group of obese people ate low calorie diets for a year and only lost an average of 14-18 pounds. I would have guessed that anyone who was obese and cut their calories to 1200 a day for a year would have lost twice that much weight.

I remember reading about the Loch Ness monster for the first time in the Weekly Reader when I was in third grade, fifty plus years' ago. I was fascinated w/ the story. I dreamed of going to Scotland and sitting on the shore until the monster raised it's head out of the water. I'd snap a picture w/ the family's Kodak Instamatic camera and become famous the world over.

I'm glad that you were able to have such a lovely service for your daughter.

If I was happy w/ the massage, I would tip 20% regardless of where the massage took place. I would assume that if the massage therapist came to my home, the massage would cost more due to travel time and expenses. If there wasn't an extra charge built in for an in home massage, I would probably tip around 30%.

I think you would have to have a pretty high opinion of yourself to think that you could jet in for a quick visit w/ your 96 year old grandmother who is the Queen of England and make a judgment as to the advice she is getting from those who are around her on a day to day basis. I wonder what Prince Edward and Princess Anne and the other royals who are dedicated to Queen Elizabeth think when Harry drops by for a quick visit and announces to the world that he has confirmed that the Queen is in good hands.
I also wonder what the Queen herself thinks when she reads that Harry has announced to the world that he confirmed she was getting good advice. She probably wonders how England survived WWII without Harry's sage advice.

Thank you for updating us and sharing with the family how much Donna met to us.

I think it's humorous that a family who has multiple residences and multiple assistants to do things like "stock the car" and buy gifts for friends and family describes themselves as "down to earth."
They might very well be nice people who are good to their employees, but it's a stretch to describe anyone leading that type of lifestyle as being "down to earth."

I appreciate the "Sit here" sign over the toilet.
It's always good to have some guidance when you are in a strange bathroom.

If Elvis were on my plane, I’d be mad if he got up and sang.
It’s wrong to force people to listen to any performance. You can’t just get up and walk away on a plane.

I’m two episodes in and hooked on American Hostage starring Jon Hamm. It’s a dramatization of a true story which took place in 1977. A deranged man kidnaps his banker and threatens to kill him. The kidnapper demands to talk live on air to a local radio show host portrayed by Jon Hamm.

I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine how angry and hurt I would be in your situation. I would probably need therapy to get past my anger.

Have a good trip. I know others hate Spirit Airlines, but a few years' ago I flew on Spirit multiple times from Houston to Minneapolis and back and had no problems at all. They were always right on time.

I love the idea of a sunrise service, but in reality, I'd never get up in time for it.
Ever since I was a little girl, I've always imagined myself waking up on the first Easter morning and learning of Christ's resurrection. I'm 62 and I still wake up on Easter morning and imagine what it must have been like to hear that news.

I read two really good ones this week:
Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys is a mystery/love story set in Spain in the 60s during the dictatorship of General Franco. I had no idea just how awful life was in Spain under Franco. I thought the author did a great job of writing a really sweet underlying love story while educating the reader about life in Spain under General Franco. The mystery aspect to the story was pretty good too. I'm going to recommend this book to my book club.
I also read Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan. It's a novel based on the true occurrence of the wreck of a steamship off the coast of North Carolina in the 1830s. I thought it was an excellent book.

Since he retired, my husband has taken up cooking as a hobby. He loves to try and recreate dishes we've had at restaurants.
Probably my very favorite is his recreation of Torcy's Tacos guacamole salad. It's a pretty simple recipe, but it took him awhile to figure out the ratio of all the ingredients. Once he figured out the proper ingredients and ratios, he kept trying to add things to it to make it even tastier. I told him that the Torchy's version was perfection according to my taste buds. Now I beg him to make it for lunch or dinner every other week or so.

My mom helped us pay for the wedding and his parents paid for the rehearsal dinner. I'm pretty sure my mom and his mom gave me gifts at my wedding showers, but nothing elaborate.
My daughter is getting married next spring and we will pay for most of the wedding. We won't get them anything else, except maybe a shower gift, if they have one.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Tiger's past struggles, he'll always be recognized as one of the greatest golfers of all time. The fact that he can even walk the golf course, much less make the cut for the Master's after that horrific accident is truly astounding.
I hope he stays clean and sober this time and inspires others that it can be done.

I deleted five images.
It makes me a little sad to think that someday a pea is going to think “I wonder if auntkelly was working on a jigsaw puzzle in April 2020? Oh my gosh she was, but she deleted the picture of it! Now we will never know exactly how her Tower of Babel jigsaw puzzle turned out. What a loss!”
