    I don't know if you remember that recipe I posted the other day from Facebook. It was called LBCEEE I think... It was a custard forward recipe. I gave it a early sample... it's pretty horrible right now. I hope no one else mixed it. lol It's one of those that are so bad when you try it that you have a hard time believing it will get better. We'll see...

    Good luck. I desperately need to go through screenshots and decide which ones I’m actually going to mix to try. I take a lot then don’t go back and mix half of them.

    Sometimes I'm glad my tastes are more limited. I have my best luck writing my own recipes. I stepped out of my box on some I just mixed so not sure how'll they'll turn out.

    I should do more of what I know I like instead of always being on the hunt for the next great recipe.

    Your MF grapefruit has been mixed, @FranC. Now it sits for a month.

    Sadly, when I was getting out the grapefruit, I saw that River Supply messed up my order: the packing slip was correct, but, instead of the raspberry, orange, and blueberry I had requested, I got black cherry, Morello cherry, and plum (which I seem to remember were flavors you had ordered, @NolaMel). I am downcast.

    I have written to them. I hope they agree to send me what I ordered--if they even still have it. If not, they had better refund me $36 plus tax.

    I would never have ordered those cherries.

    I can't... it's like so foreign to me.

    All Walmarts are different. The Douglas one was just FULL of Mexicana. There are a few sort of "Sarah Lee" type Mexican items I quite miss. They do a better job, mostly. Except for: BIRTHDAY CAKE (white sprinkle cake to you Zazie.) I got a big box of cookies for my team it is about the time you need to feed them with a "Thank you so much for Welcoming me and being awesome" note. I don't include the psychologists but I bet they eat a LOT of them. All that being a baby and smearing poop on the walls, yep yep. LOL.

    I quite like the famliarity of Walmart now. I miss Food City which is an ENTIERLY Mexican chain and they had the best produce (watch out for Salmonella, and one time memorably, tarantulas crawling out of the bananas but I did not see it so I can't speak to its TRUTH.

    All of you whose wives are loving on football players: You need to turn them on to Susan Anderson. She is a romance writer who is actually hilarious, good at plotting and sweet and a very good writer. If you skipped the sex scenes well, you could do a lot worse. But they are ALL about football in some way (most of them, I believe she branched out) and they.... well, if you gotta love a football player LOVE a football player so I guess the same goes for you dudes.

    I know Football was coming perioluosly cose to its end. I am not attached but I know ALL the rules because my mom watched when I was a teen (she admired football player butts and still pledges aliegance to Tom Brady my sis too, I don't know what is WRONG with them he's practically at the head injury Alizheimer's stage.) In any case, so yea it was one FUN thing to do with my mom without conflict and I would do it and it was pleasant.

    I cannot watch now due to politcal reasos. We did watch like Super Bowl and it was a huge party and the kid got all jacked up.

    Miss those days, and well, I want to call the kid but I don't want to talk about nothing for 1/2 hour. IDK Maybe later. Yoga will not be doubled today, l will say THAT. Heh.

    That’s too bad but house comes before 2nd car I guess.

    It's been okay. It's not like the husband needs it that much. I mean, a few times a week. So apart from that terrifying time when he was like 45 minutes late and forgot his phone and I was like well, I am just gonna walk down the side of the highway to the gas station and deal with it there. It was frustrating though because my housekeys were on the same keychain so I was like, "Getting home is pointless anyway."

    It was like a brief moment of homelessness. I am afraid like, it made me even LESS empathetic toward the homeless because if I were in that situation for even like, a day or two, I would be like "F this" and head for the nearest Goodwill. Church talk is fine for a hot cot and 3 meals. The homeless complain too much. They want to vape inside and like do drugs. Do they not understand that does not work with Goodwill.

    Then, I would get an apartment, a cat and a job.. Like, as a cashier. I decided this as I walked down the highway.;

    Read the MF notes on ELR (pretty sure Letitia linked them in this thread). Haven’t tried the cherries, but the plum is really good. To be fair, out of around a dozen MF flavors I bought, it’s the only one I’ve tried lol. I want to get the non-sale flavors, I guess one at a time, they’re so $$$$

    Also I hope the Subaru dealership declares that thing DEAD. It is such an old car they don't make it anymore and you have to get parts from like, junkyards. It is a money pit and I was prepared to valiantly DRIVE it (4 wheel drive and winter) but PRAYER To GOD I don't have to. I am a very good car rehabilitator who drives cars like they desire, like with my Mazda bat out of hell, that thing, it takes 20 minutes to go from 0--65.

    It has sucked up WAY too much money but the husband loves it. He needs a truck really. Another type of car I hate.

    A few days ago I found 2 mixes in my divider. A Mango Yogurt and Black Currant Chezzy biscuit. I couldn’t find the recipes for either. Today I found both recipes by my scale and they both had a note to add rhubarb. Then I remembered they were both good but too sweet for me. So now I have to try those again.I refuse to fire up any more pv’s so it can wait.

    Since you are the money maker you should look into a 4wd for yourself and your husband can drive the Mazda. Rome wasen’t built in a day and you need to get to work.

    I like cats. I have this recurring nightmare (ALL mentally ill people have this nightmare actually) that their family and friends will abandon them, and they will wind up muttering psychotically to themselves about like, stuff. They will be unkempt maybe with MAGGOTS eating into their head from their hair (yep. Saw that in a good old urban ER an almost puked patient said their "head hurt." Thank goodness someone took THAT seriously) and pushing a shopping cart full of cats and trash.

    Whenever I mention this fear to my mom she says no one in the family would let that happen.; IDK. It's not that they might not care but they ARE busy people they might find out Too Late.

    But since I am currently sane GOOWILL it would be. I would take a cat over a dog because even though I'm allergic I prefer cats to dogs. I mean, I LOVE dogs but I also can't help but feel a certain....distain for an animal who is going to love you more than it loves itself. I mean a) that's a lot of responsibility right there and b) I do think it's a bit codependent and while i have raised many dogs now the only one I genuinely adore rather than just love AT ALL is my son's newest dog and I would take her in a heartbeat. But she was raised by homeless people loves cigarettes and will eat until puking, etc and she is NUTTTTYS. She adores me too, I did some looking after her and she was the only dog I found intelligent enough to bother talking to. There was a lot of talk about taking care of my kiddo and also not getting mad if he ever gets a GF.

    LOL she will come to the phone when I am on speaker and lick it. Every time I see her, she LEAPS upon me. knocks me to the ground, and licks me all over my face. I don't mind.

    I could find a similar dog I guess I could, but I would actually start with a houseplant. If it lived, then the cat.

    I LOVE cats. Once I had to have outside cats, strays would show up, ,but that didn't happen much where I lived as they are coyote food. I would like love a familiar stray outdoor cat I could slowly get to know and semi domesticate at the new house.

    BUT EVERYONE knows, lf anything happens to the boy, the dog is leaving with me from the funeral. It takes a darn smart dog to recognize you over speaker phone and lick you. Love THAT DOG.

    I don't mind having the plum. Maybe the cherries will be a revelation, but, since the only cherries I like are fresh ones--and even those I don't think have much flavor--I kind of doubt it.
