This is different than the merge with Idaho movement.

Glad I live in Pennsylvania, where the geography is easy: Philadelphia in the east, Pittsburgh in the west and Alabama in between.

Eastern Oregon belongs in Idaho, IMO! JK, but serious in the sense itā€™s a whole different world! On a recent road trip through Eastern Oregon, I couldnā€™t find any cannabis shops, even exiting at college towns, driving the strip, etc. also looking on line. I was also looking forward to buying some mushrooms at one of these hypothetical shops that either didnā€™t exist or was carefully off the beaten track. Frustrating, but realized we were in extremely conservative towns. :scream_cat:

I know!! I wasnā€™t being serious John, and I hope you arenā€™t offended! Iā€™m fortunate to have traveled and lived in California. Iā€™ve seen A Lot of the state, even remote areas, and what a big, gorgeoues, state it truly is.

Iā€™m back to waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Sunshineā€™s old car had a check engine light come on, I quick scan showed a misfire code. After some head scratching and swapping of parts, I determined one of the new spark plugs I had put in last year, failed. It was a cheap and easy fix (once I figured it out).
Then my modem/router failed without warning. Not a big deal if it had happened during normal business hours, but it happened in the eveningā€¦ so no ā€œROKUā€ for our evening entertainment. We re-watched a movie on DVD.
Luckily, I keep a spare modem/router in stock and just had to have my ISP record the ā€œMACā€ identification number. A few wires, a little configuring of the wifi password & we were back to normal.
Iā€™m still convinced these things happen in ā€œthreesā€, so bring on the next challenge.

On my recent trip to 2 SE Asian countries, I saw a package of a pre-sweetened instant coffee with non-dairy creamer in it as well. It also had a big ā€œno sugarā€ announcement on it as well. It piqued my interest as I use artificial sweetener in my morning coffee, so I looked at the ingredients to find out that one of the first ingredients listed was ā€œglucose syrupā€.

Youā€™d think that after living in Asia on and off for about 20 years that such misleading statements on labels would cease to surprise me, but it hasnā€™t. The same thing goes on here in Japan where various types of vegetable-based cooking oils are labeled ā€œno cholesterolā€ and laws state that if a processed food has grains or other ingredients like wheat or corn and those ingredients are 5% or less the label can say ā€œnon-GMOā€.

Consumer education in various parts of the world is severely lacking and that worries me. So I pay pretty good attention to whatā€™s listed and how itā€™s listed on labeling.

A friend of ours has two tickets for the 2024 Super Bowlā€‹:football: in Las Vegas, 50 yard line box seats. He paid $9,500 each, but he didnā€™t realize last year when he bought them, it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place. Itā€™s at St. Theresaā€™s Church at 3 p.m.:wedding:The brideā€™s name is Jenny. Sheā€™s 5ā€™5", about 115 lbs, good cook too. Sheā€™ll be the one in the white dress!:woman_with_veil:t2:

You are welcome. I looked at your profile page yesterday so maybe Iā€™m the one that got you to the 1200. I canā€™t remember why. I think I was looking for a post of some sort. Is that you in the linked video? Iā€™m impressed!

I had to check which video youā€™re referring to :slight_smile: - thank you, yes it is :pray:

I honestly wish my web admin would add something more recent :grimacing:: unfortunately heā€™s all but given up on the site (plus most folks just use Book of Faces to keep up with our show schedule).

Hereā€™s a more recent recording if you are interested.

Thank you for this. Iā€™m currently enjoying it. It is a rainy day, we just finished brunch. Iā€™m tempted to pour myself a glass of Brandy. Ha! Bob Dylan. One of my husbandā€™s favorites. He is singing along.
