Youth, and being boneheaded go hand-in-hand. Glad your pink finger got better. Yes, sometimes we have to work through the pain, while other times, it's best to be still, and let things heal. The key is knowing when to do which.

I'm glad you are getting that lift too. You do need it.

Your item was delivered at the front door or porch at 1:17 pm on August 22, 2020 in MINERAL BLUFF, GA 30559.

No, it was not. I was on my front porch most all day, was pouring concrete at that exact time. No one came down the driveway. This is why mail-in ballots are a very bad idea. If you can stand in line at Walmart and protest in the streets, you can stand in line to vote. They've lost money for 13 years for a reason.

The post office warns not to send cash through the mail, because it's not safe. If money isn't safe, my vote isn't either.

No kidding. My father sent me money one year, cash. Never arrived. Wow, wonder who spent that? Some P.O. employee, I'm sure.

I managed to find a bushel of canning tomatoes from one of the venders at our local farmers market, and got them put up today. That was a lot of peeling and chopping!

Good for you, Mary! I hope the rest of ours don't split with all this rain. Tom is canning stew meat right this minute while we watch the season finale of Yellowstone.

When my grandmother would peel tomatoes to can them, she would make a sink full of hot water, then put some in the hot water. A couple minutes later, remove one, poke the skin with the tip of a knife, make a tear where you poked it, and slide the skin off. Move on to the next one. The hot water makes it so the whole skin just slides off real easy. It's fast to do it like that.

BTW, You were right @speckledhen. Pepper started squatting, Salt just joined in.

That's the way I peel mine, too.

Great!
