It would be great if it included beans. Possibly in a slow cooker?

Right now I’m reading Carry Me, by Diane McWhorter, about Birmingham AL in the civil rights era, and it got me to wondering what is known about the KKK and its history in general. AI suggested Hooded Americanism. I’m looking for additional suggestions, including personal histories or memoirs.

A lot of years ago I bought Birkis sandals and these days they are still my go-to and the only shoes I can stand. They have a back strap. I have multiple autoimmune issues that cause pain. But I live in the northeast and I can’t wear sandals in January. I have neuropathy and my feet are cold even in summer. I also need something that is not a mule or a clog because I’m already a fall risk. So I’m wondering what I should look for. Any ideas?

My sister and I (71f) were expected to do the after dinner clean up. (It should go without saying that we ate dinner as a family.) It involved sweeping the floor, doing the dishes and putting them away. We complained but we really didn’t mind. Sometimes it was fun, even when we argued. No dishwasher, of course. I still kind of like doing the dishes by hand. I was wondering if anyone still dries the dishes. We don’t, except for my good knives. Everything goes in the dishwasher these days.

My nails have been splitting vertically and I’ve been using a glue and sand product I got on amazon. Someone mentioned to me in passing that nail salons have a way of dealing with this that’s not so unsightly. What is it called? I’ve never had a manicure and I don’t know what to ask for. The person who mentioned this had nice looking nails.

I have plenty of ingredients to work with, like corn, beans, cheese, rice, broth, and a host of Asian pantry staples. We prefer simple food, nothing fancy.

I attended a couple of concerts there maybe 10 years ago, and the acoustics were terrible. It was hard to enjoy the concerts at all. But I seem to remember reading or hearing that they made some improvements. Does anyone know if that’s accurate?

I have a separate Amazon wish list for all the things I would like to have. Some things are little gadgets for only a few dollars and some are many hundreds. It’s my “when I win the lottery” list. Anyone else?

Currently I have several of those metal, wheeled, open carts, with my stuff haphazardly throw in. I have paints, clay, mosaic tiles, some fabric, needlework supplies, and empty jars that I paint. I can’t stand the disorganization, and they tend to tip over at the slightest wrong move. I’ve been eyeing those metal carts with 10 plastic drawers, but I’m afraid they’re not all that sturdy or would also be a tipping hazard. I don’t need the wheels and I get that I can remove them. The jars and tiles are heavy. My goal is to have things separated into drawers. I don’t want the carts with metal mesh drawers, because things would inevitably fall through. But I would like it to be possible to get an idea what’s there without having to open drawers. Of course I don’t want to spend a lot.

I have no wall space for storage. I have no closet space either. So this would be sitting in the open in my craft room/office.

Any ideas?

Looking for recommendations, preferably in Northampton county.

Just curious.

Daytime show?

I was taking 6.5 mg and it really was okay, but some influencer I followed recommended the split dose. So I went to 4 mg/3mg, Saturday and Wednesday. It’s not working as well as the full dose, once/week. I wonder if others have noticed this. Now I’m not sure what to do. My concern is whether returning to the full 6.5 mg on Saturday will set me back as far as increased side effects. I am a dumbass! I should have stuck with the program. I’m not asking for medical advice, but whether this has happened to others and how it worked out.

I also don’t want to pay a lot. Any drugstore recommendations? SPF 50 or more is highly desirable.

Does something like that exist? I realized recently that I know nothing about geography. I got a small map of the world and started studying it, and I find it fascinating. I know very little about the world outside of my local area. I do have some old “gas station maps”. Do people collect them? I’m not interested in displaying them. Is there a hobby similar to stamp collecting that involves maps?

I’m just looking for more of a sense of direction.

If not, how else can I use it with other normal pantry items (not having to buy extra ingredients that I don’t keep in the house)?

A place that’s not shady and has a good selection. I’m looking for a split king.
