Put all your sandwich makers to work making sandwiches until the unordered product is utilized. Put a large sign out in front of your house inviting the entire neighborhood to a picnic. When your neighbors all drift on home, box up any uneaten sandwiches and take them to the food pantry. You'll be pretty popular in your neighborhood!!

It's not really about pimples (acne), it follows a doctor who deals with difficult or unusual growths that people are living with. I can see why some people would like this program because the doctor is kind and skilled. Her patients are usually relieved to be done with their physical deformities.The program originates on cable channel, TLC (The Learning Channel).

Who could resist a title like that? It's a short animated film by actor Tom Hanks and activist Jeffery Robinson, the executive director of The Who We Are Project.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBvodoftTjAThe film was interesting, but the uplifting part came from the discussion by Mr. Hanks and Mr. Robinson.

Even though my sister and her partner built their own house in Florida. I'm used to a four season year with few hurricanes. This brings back a memory of a story about retiring to Florida. This story is no reflection on Florida as a good place to retire, just a story about something that really happened.In her 80s, my mom moved to Florida with her boyfriend. They lived in an apartment complex. One of her fellow retirees who lived on her own in a neighboring unit, was attacked and beaten in her apartment, then her apartment was set on fire. After a stay in the hospital, she went to stay in the unit with her boyfriend. Unfortunately, her boyfriend was around ninety and died shortly after she was released from the hospital. The boyfriend lived in a unit with other family members who didn't want this lady there any more. Her family members finally came to bring this lady home with them to another state.Soon thereafter, the management hired people to refurbish the burne... less

They came from Hungary, France, Italy, England, Pakistan, and a co-worker from Haiti. There was my ballet teacher from Russia that barely spoke English at all, but she wasn't interested in chatting. She came with her mother, two sisters, and a niece. The sisters and the niece all spoke English well.

Although I haven't seen them since the 1980s, in one of the issues was an original poem by one of her fellow students that began:Profibus teachibus sweet girlorum,Girlibus hatibus, wanti no morum...Since I had been a Latin student, I really got a kick out of the poem. I can't remember the rest of it. It's been a long time.

I can still translate mottos and coins.Seriously though, in the 1960s, our local area had a large influx of Italian immigrants. Latin is the basis for Italian and English so it wasn't that difficult to pick up some of the language. I actually bought an Italian/English dictionary. I haven't kept up with it, so I'd need that dictionary to understand it now.I couldn't keep up with it because life happened. I went to live in the DC/MD area for about five years. When I returned to this area, I was married with children. less
People also use them to locate their car parked in a large busy parking lot. If you've ever watched "Parking Wars", people also use them to locate their car at a large impound lot.
Since I'm not a vegan or a vegetarian, I can't answer the question. I just wanted to comment that you can count on one hand the generations that have even had a choice in the matter.
"Without looking it up" is misleading. I looked it up. There is no factual answer. So, breaking the "rules" has no effect on an answer to this question. Satisfaction!!
On the positive side, local business wise, the place in town that makes the best burgers and onion rings and the place that makes the best Rueben have both opened back up.

(I'm tired of depressing topics on Answermug.)Recent flashback: I was six when the Korean War (conflict actually, there was no war declared) began. Whenever my sister, brother, or myself asked our parents why we couldn't have... or why we didn't do... My father had a pat answer, "There's a war on!" Somewhere during this period, I learned to read. One day I was looking at the newspaper and on the front page, the headline read something like "Armistice Signed", "the war is over", so I was surprised when my father answered with the usual "There's a war on!" I decided that I'd better update him with the information in the newspaper. He was speechless. I don't know whether he was more shocked by my "back talk" or amazed by my knowledge, but he could never use that line again. less

I just watched the owner (?) check/refill the stations. Most of the wildlife comes out at night (Poland time) but it's quite well lit at night. I consider the person who set up and maintains this as either rich or just generous based on the quality of the foods he leaves.12/20/22 at 18:57 (Poland time), a man came into frame carrying a bag, about the size of a full pillowcase, and dumped the contents into the two wooden boxes located behind the fountain. He then walked out of frame. At 19:02, a group of 6 or 7 wild pigs dove in. This illustrates just how generous this person is. Today it looks so nice with the fresh fallen snow.https://worldcams.tv/poland/zywiec-lake/bird-feederPS: The Decorah eagles will be laying their eggs soon. https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-north-nest/ less

I was reminded of this when Wendy's introduced their "new hot and crispy fries" (guaranteed hot and crispy) with incessant TV ads last year. I looked up the ingredient list for these new fries, it was a page long. Real french fries ingredient list is two ingredients only, potato and oil, period (salt, sauces, and condiments are an add on by preference). less
