We got the Gorgonzola pistachio sesame today, tempted to tear into it in the car, but wife made me wait until we got home. Seemingly unrelated components come together to form a delightfully tasty loaf.

For all the years I spend breadmaking and teaching it, Matt has mastered the art. When my doc said my A1C was getting high, I had to stop, at least now I have a source of real bread.

Must be the class of women you hang out. Sounds like a bunch of low braw shite

Actually, my wife is not superstitious, but I know many who are and the marketing is aimed at women.

My daughter married an Alabama redneck who has zero social skills, he doesn't like us at all, no reason given, we have always treated him with respect. After they were married 12 years, he hounded her until she went no contact.

We never have criticized either one of them, we gave them a lot of financial support when they got married, never asked for a penny back. Now my daughter has done very well in her career, she is the CEO of a very successful company, hubby stays home and plays video games in the basement.

We never got to see our daughter or grandchildren, they don't answer calls, texts or emails. We gave our daughter everything she ever needed, paid for her college education, bought her cars, paid for her grandchildren's childcare when she couldn't.

Now we are 75+, healthcare issues, we might never see any of them again. It hurts tremendously, it's the first thing that I think about in the morning and the last thing at night. It's as if she got to a point and figured she didn't need our financial support any longer.

I had one in the house we liver in 15 years ago, we loved it for a purpose. We would throw all the recyclable cans, soda bottles, junk mail in it. We only had to bring the bin out once a month.

Take a book along to doctor appointments. I despise cell phones and the way they are an extension of people's hands nowadays.

The good news is I download books to my phone and my Kindl, so if I'm in a waiting room, my book is right there.

I don't understand this at all, the basic beliefs of these religions are directly attacked by the Dems, they publicly denounce both groups. Catholics, and actually all Christians are targeted especially for being opposed to abortion, the Dems are at the forefront of anti-sematic violence.

My wife and I are mid 70's, she has a 2015 Outlook, I drive a 2020 Forester, great cars, zero issue, safety features are incredible, likely be the last 2 vehicles we buy. The traction is unreal on wet roads.

Why would I care if lesbians drive them? Better than a Ford150 that needs a mechanic on staff.

I did it at 52, I was making a nice salary, I opened a company in a completely different field, but one I was very knowledgeable in. I didn't take a salary for a year, never made half as much as I did before, until I sold the company and made a killing.

But it wasn't about the money, I was doing work that went from boring and routine to dangerous and physically taxing. I was on call 24/7/365, I was just getting burned out. Owning my own business was the best decision I ever made, I enjoyed the work, I hired a great staff and we all liked working with each other, I was more of a team leader than a boss, I let them do their work without interference, we're all still friends years later.

Important: Are you are financially ready, my kids were out of college, my house and cars were paid for, my wife was still working, so I was very risk tolerant. The best advice I got came from my financial advisor, he told me that guys my age are smart, we don't go buy some expensive toy at the first great month, we are cash conscious, he said he sees very few failures.

I planned and prepared for about a year, got rid of debt, took classes, went to SCORE and got advisors, designed logo, found a great location for retail in an area where my potential customers lived and worked, I decided, with the help of a PR company, what kind of marketing I was going to use.

The more thought and planning you put in, the luckier you will be. Good luck, go for it.

Type 2 here, so real syrup is a rare treat, but Steen's was always my favorite. We have a friend with a maple syrup company in Vermont, we get a quart of dark amber as a gift occasionally, that is the only syrup I've ever had that is intense as Steen's, different flavor, but intense.

The reason I quit going to Chimes East. Not enough people who tip.
