Granny's gone and done it again

Oh no! I didn't realize that! On one hand that makes sense, but on the other hand...this isn't your average situation. I feel like if you're a US citizen you should get something. 2020 has been harsh enough, no need to kick someone that's already down, assuming that's why they already owe the IRS (especially if people that aren't even citizens get money, you know???).

Illegal aliens will get the money also.

howdy Cluck, Did the Trump refuse to sign the stimulus package ? I read a little about it last night.

I hope so. 10 M for gender studies in Pakistan? Do I live in some alternate universe?

Yeah, those were my words exactly...

I'm kind of afraid to talk about it now...
My opinion is that $600 is a slap in the face if it involves sending billions of dollars to other countries. I would rather not get the $600 and have that money go toward helping my neighbors and my country. I'm not against helping everywhere but not when I see the people around me hurting. I hope that makes sense...

I agree. And billion to museums that are not even open to the public? I am sorry. We need to help small business owners and our neighbors who don’t have enough to eat.

Great @CapricornFarm . Hope it goes well.

Jan. 4th is not long afterwards. That is when I see ENT on my ears. Boy has 2 months gone fast.

Good luck, I hope he can help you.

??? This is a reward??? Remind me not to pith you off!

Actually, they must like him. He was crowing today!

YES!!! I was thinking about asking if anyone can recommend a good body wash that doesn't dry your skin, for sensitive skin. If I had my druthers, I'd use something fragrance- and dye-free. Is there such an animule?

Yeah, make your own glycerin soap.

Oh here we go "Grandma Lock's (originally LocH b/4 Ellis Island)

3/4 cup of Crisco (nothing else seems to work)
1 cup sugar,
Cream together

Add 1/4 cup light molasses (I use only Brier Rabbit)
1 egg -beaten

2 cups AP flour
1/4 Teaspoon salt
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon each of ground ginger and ground cloves

MIX with the "wet' stuff ,mixture will be stiff

chill in fridge until good and firm then roll into balls (I use a cookie scoop) and then roll white sugar until entire ball is coated.

place on UNgreased cookie sheet. DO NOT FLATTEN
bake at 350* for 8 to 10 minutes.

yield about 4 dozen depend on the size of your balls.

Should you forget the soda bake the little hockey pucks and use as dog treats.

The 6 quart kitchen aid mixer can handle a triple batch

So, um... can I ask how big your balls usually are?

I boiled an egg yolk for the babies. Thats the best I can do w/o brine shrimp eggs. It fouls the water so hopefully I can keep it clean w/o sucking the babies up. I didnt want to do this.

I took Meg&dawns babies tonight. They were getting sucked up in the filter. I sure didnt want to.

Why not turn the filter off and use an airstone?
