Not really. I don’t really eat sandwiches very often. I do like a good hearty white for the BLTs I eat in Aug/Sept during local tomato and corn season.
The rest of my family loves white bread - the Canadian white style. I buy a ton of it, but I’m not a fan.

I tip on takeout at the couple local restaurants we go to. I know the people who work there and I’m super glad they’ve made it so far. I don’t tip on fast food or chains, but we don’t eat at those very often.

I wear loose fitting workout clothes, not tights. My underwear stay put and don’t make me hot or more sweaty. I don’t wear underwear with a swimsuit.

No rugs. I use table cloths on my kitchen table and dining room table. I have a bunch of them from a French linen shop in New Orleans. They protect the table and look pretty. Every time we go back to the French Quarter, I end up buying another one or some more napkins or placemats.

I got dip this week with OPI Sugar Crush It. Can’t seem to link my photo from my phone, though.

A garden club or birdwatching club? That's what my mom is interested in.

I love my library just the way it is. I was on the building/renovation committee when it was completely redone about 10 years ago. It was originally built in the late 1800s and hadn't been touched since. We kept the old part of the building for a computer area and the historic books section and added on a beautiful new addition. It has plenty of comfy seating, plenty of tables to work at, lots of books, meeting rooms and program rooms, quiet work rooms, and a large children's room that is separate with a door and also has a children's craft/activity area and story time area. It's a really awesome place.

I've never had biscuits and gravy but this thread makes me want to try it Me neither. I love biscuits on their own or with some honey. My husband loves sausage. I bet he'd really like that.

A short squoval works best for me. Too square, and they break. Too long, and I can't type. My nails grow super fast -- I have to cut them all the way down to the quick and by two weeks they're way too long.

I wouldn’t do a built in tile bench. It’s cold to sit on and collects soapy water. Get a teak bench, and you can replace it if and when it gets grungy. I’m removing a built in bench when we do our second phase of Renovations next year. Love my roll in shower. DH was in a wheelchair and walker for a while and it made all the difference.

I have very short haired Cornish Rex cats, but I tried bathing the female because she had oily skin. The bath itself went fine, but her brother spent the next day attacking her until she smelled back to normal. It was absolutely horrible.

I went to MIT in the early 80s and was the odd man out who didn't play. DH and his friends used to play a ton. They had so much fun.

My kids started online accounts when they were in high school and are still with the same bank 10 years later. They can do anything they need through the app. USAA refunds ATM charges, and they can use any of the networks of ATMs. I’m not sure either has actual checks at all.

I’ve had a calf muscle pull with a pop like that. I was worried about it being an Achilles tear, but it wasn’t. I’d probably start with my primary care. Don’t they reserve appointments for sick visits?

We know three families who avoided covid for the past two years who tested positive in just this last week. We’ve managed to miss it (that we know of) so far. It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve heard it be anything other than mild symptoms for anyone and nothing that lingers like the long covid of the original variants. I hope you feel better soon! Vaccines seem to be the key to mild symptoms.

It's legal here. I occasionally get a whiff when I'm out and about, but I don't find it any more irritating than cigarette smoke. It is distinctive though. I've never smelled it inside a building. I was in NYC last weekend, and it was pretty prevalent in Times Square and Washington Square Park. Which I easily avoided and didn't smell it anywhere else.
I was very much in favor of legalizing it. And sure enough, it just isn't a big deal here and there's the bonus of people not having to go to jail for something so minor.

I think the best flavor comes from adding oil/vinegar or Italian dressing to the drained potatoes while they are still hot. It gets all absorbed and makes it delicious. Cool them completely before dressing and adding anything else.

I like a mix of soy sauce, orange juice, and garlic.

Great job!!! I'm proud of myself for sucking it up and asking for help yesterday on some work stuff I was stuck on. I actually showed my very very rough draft in our weekly meeting. Not only did the group untangle my problem in less than half an hour, but they were very kind and complimented me on what I'd done so far. By the end of the day, I had the whole thing under control. I love the team I'm working for.

Hang in there. My mom has had polyps regularly removed since she was 30 years old. She's 82 now, and never had any progress to cancer.

Two gifts that I got (back in the dark ages) were some wonderful scented body lotion and a gift pack of fancy coffee. I loved both of those.

Toss them. I graduated in the 80s and have never ever ever missed tossing mine.

I don't think it's a given, although it certainly is common. IMO the bride and groom get to choose the people they want. We had our siblings in the wedding party because we were (38 years ago) and still are very close with them and consider them some of the most important people in our lives.

The National WWII Museum is great - very well done. Ride the trolly thru the garden district. Audubon Zoo
You just can’t go wrong with food there. The bar is set very high and bad restaurants just don’t last.

It's so on point that you don't even need to read the article. The Boston Globe attached this headline to an article by the Washington Post:
"Senator Ron Johnson, under fire over fake-electors disclosure at hearing, pretends to be on phone to avoid answering questions"
There's also a video tweet showing that his phone screen was not on while he was holding the fake conversation. Dumbass. Apparently he thinks everyone else is as stupid and craven as he is.
