It IS Lyle Waggoner (known from The Carol Burnett Show)! In the opening credits, he was listed as "Waggner." #Monsterdon #JourneyToTheCenterOfTime

Bronze Age Greece had a robust trading economy. Sea routes were (obviously) favored over land routes. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/115/trade-in-ancient-greece/ Interesting stuff, this. We seldom think about ancient economies, rather viewing things through our modern lens. Often, we're mistaken. #Odyssey #HomericGreece #BronzeAgeTrade

Question for sari-wearers: How do you clean them? I have three, all polyester, two very sheer like chiffon, one heavier like silk. All have metallic thread embroidery, and one is beaded. None have care information (no surprise there). They've been in storage for a few years, along with some stretch velvet cholis. I haven't worn them in . . . I don't know, maybe twelve years? I was in the SCA at the time, and they were super comfortable for scorching summertime events. I'm cons...

Did yard work this morning: mowed, trimmed, clipped, and hauled away. Went back out a bit ago to gather up branches spouse trimmed along the road and driveway and haul them out too. Picked another handful of black raspberries to add to what I already had, in order to make a sugar-free raspberry sorbet. Almost time for that to go into the ice cream maker. A simple five-spice salmon for dinner, a vegetable side (likely green beans), and sorbet for after. Perhaps a bit of mulberry liqueur while...

Just saying. Going to the grocery store and Farm & Fleet. Betcha folks stay outta my way. Except the ones who agree. They usually give me a smile, a nod, or a thumbs up. #Resist #GodAintPettyButIAm

One for the &quot;careful writers&quot; (to steal from Theodore Bernstein): COMPOSE and COMPRISE are not interchangeable in the formal register. Some writers maintain the distinction regardless of the formality they&#39;re using. I tend to let it go when I see one used incorrectly in dialogue; when I see it in narrative, I leave a comment. It&#39;s up to the client whether to change the word. &quot;Compose&quot; means &quot;to make up, to be an ingredient/portion i...

@kimlockhartga@beige.party @TheEddieShow@beige.party I highly recommend Max Velocity on YT. He and his team are ahead of any of our local meteorologists when it comes to timely information. I've seen several comments on his channel thanking him for saving lives. Y'all be safe in those storms.

UPDATE: Partial siding on west wall! It&#39;s proven a bit more tricky than anticipated, I think, but better them than us. The main dude will be back tomorrow morning bright and early to keep on truckin&#39;. We agree that he should tackle the south wall next, as it&#39;s more difficult than the north (that one has no openings to deal with as we&#39;re just &quot;boarding it up&quot; as it were) what with the window and door. So glad to be getting this done! #HomeImpr...

Mmmmmm Chicken fajitas for dinner. Season chicken. Cook in skillet. Remove. Do NOT wipe skillet. Add sliced peppers and onion. Sauté, adding seasoning as needed (probably not a lot). Put chicken back in, stir. Cook a few more minutes so there&#39;s no pink left. FEAST #HomeCooking

All these &quot;quick polls&quot; from news apps feel like info gathering to me, and not for good reasons. Fuck off. I&#39;m not telling you whether I&#39;ve participated in any protests of any kind whatsoever. I&#39;m already on lists somewhere, I&#39;m sure. #DoNotComplyEVER

https://s.samsungfood.com/Rs4DZ This is in the oven for dinner: a high-protein &quot;sloppy joe&quot; casserole. I made half the recipe, so we will have leftovers for two lunches. I would love to provide an outside link, but the creator apparently has no separate site. Sorry, folks. #HomeCooking #HighProteinLowCarb
