    Marigolds

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendula Have you ever used Marigolds? "Culinary use" Calendula species have been used in cooking for centuries. The flowers were a common ingredient in German soups and stews, which explains the nickname "pot marigold". The lovely golden petals were also used to add color to butter and cheese. The flowers are traditional ingredients in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. Calendula tea provides health benefits, as well as being delicious."
  3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldorf_salad This was in the recent episode of the new ABC sitcom "The Kids Are Alright". It doesn't look appetizing to me!
  4. How many different SOX are there? There's Red Sox and White Sox? Are there any other sox?
  5. Good point. Even better are soccer players. Problem with football players you can't actually see them; they can only be identified by name and number on the jerseys. Basketball players move too fast.
  6. I had a dear female friend who in her 70s still had beautiful cursive writing.
  7. I've joked that my penmanship is so bad I could have been a doctor. :p:p:p I remember learning cursive in grade school. We had to make a perfect alphabet to hang on the wall for our parents to come and see. It took alot of work!
  8. I think that they guessed my pin number. After that I had to get a new debit card and create a new password.
  9. "The Divine Comedy" is my favorite poem. In Limbo Dante places two Muslims Saladin and Averroes. Dante makes Cato the Younger the Guardian of Purgatory. Cato was both a pagan and a suicide. And in Paradisio he places the Trojan prince Ripheus. So because of that it has caused me to be more tolerant.
  10. For months now I usually only write one check per month and that to my landlord for my rent. The bank is very concerned about fraud. Several years ago someone was using my account in another state. The bank called me immediately. It was a Saturday.
  11. Nothing back then but several years ago when they opened a new branch I happened to stop by and they were having a fair and I spun the wheel and got a free plastic cup with a lid. I've never even gotten a calendar.
  12. I didn't know who she was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juliette_Lewis
  13. My ancestors didn't stay in the Midlands but came to America.
  14. I opened the bank account over 30 years ago.

    PRAGUE

    I don't remember now where I found this out but Helmut visited Israel without Jerome. Don't know if he was on holiday or it was a work trip.
  16. I had forgotten that it applies to bicycle riders too.
  17. I don't remember now if it were the World Series or not but in an episode of "M*A*S*H" there was some ballgame and I think there were bettings but it was time delayed and someone already knew the outcome.
  18. I remember when the World Series was played during the daytime. When I was in high school they put a tv set in the gym and during P.E. instead of doing some activity we could watch the game.
  19. Fascinating!
  20. I guess mine has. I just got a call from the bank. The guy I wrote a check to yesterday went to cash it. And the signature did not match the one on file the bank said. Just another example of my decline.
  21. I remember porn model Chad Knight saying that although he enjoyed sex with other males that he could only have an emotional relationship with women.
  22. Sweet story!
  23. Ha! :p:p:p Good one!!!
  24. I live on the ground floor. There are two cats that hang out around the building. I don't think it belongs to him but one neighbor puts out food for them. He even put up a ball on a string for them to play with. Sometimes there would be little cat paw prints on the cars.
