Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
Your dinner sounds delicious, Golden. I am having baked ham and sides.
I'm roasting a turkey 🦃 for the first time in a long time and making apple,🍎raisin, and onion stuffing from the old Joy of Cooking cookbook recipe. It was a favourite for years. Veggies will include broccoli, 🥦 and butternut squash. Haven't figured out any dessert yet, not that we need it. 😊
I use one in my office, when we travel and to make bone broth outside. I use it during the summer if I am boiling water or other heat creating foods on the patio.
If you use a magnet on the bottom of a pan and it sticks, that pan will work on the induction cookers.
99% of my pans in my kitchen worked for my 1st induction cooker. I would have thrown most out if I didn't know the magnet trick, the sellers would like you to buy their expensive cookware, when it's not needed. (Or worth it in my experience.)
do you know if induction cooktops are better rated than smart burners ? Do people like those more ?
So great to see you posting!

Thanks for bumping up the quotes thread. It’s been fun to read everyone’s quotes.
Some of the guests are men who quilt. Another woman did all sorts of creative work while she was in college but became hooked on quilting after discovering textiles. She ended up getting her degree in textiles.
My mom and grandmother sewed beautifully and I have always loved beautiful fabrics. The best fabric stores that I have ever been to were in New York.
Oh my gosh! The fabric stores that we have in New Orleans are so podunk compared to the ones in New York! I was amazed at the selection of fabrics that were available.
I have noticed that more men are doing crochet and knitting.
I have to start recording this show on PBS. It’s called, Craft In America.
The show just ended so I suppose that I will try to go to sleep. If I can’t sleep I will listen to a podcast! I am always finding great podcasts to enjoy 😊.
I so wish that I had the quilts that my dad’s mother made. They were ruined in hurricane Katrina.
My dad said back in the day, a group of women from church got together to make quilts. They did quilting the old fashioned way. Nowadays, they are much easier to make due to modern sewing machines and sewing methods.
The show that I am watching on quilts is showing historical quilts and quilts sewn today by women who have art degrees. They are all beautiful!
One woman on the show has made 60 quilts to donate to soldiers. How sweet! The gift of a quilt is priceless.
My father lost his mom when he was a young man. She was dead before mom married my dad. His dad died when my oldest brother was 2 years old. I didn’t know my paternal grandparents.
My dad kept them alive for me by telling me stories. He cherished the quilts that his mom made.
I love researching my genealogy and I have found several documents about my dad’s family. It’s so interesting to see how our ancestors lived.
There is no need to set oneself on fire to warm someone else.

Best ‘Senior’ Quotes. Please share your favorite quote. It can be funny or serious. Humor can help to keep someone get through tough times!
We have had a threads like that before. They never seem to stick around.
Not sure how to say this, I think it’s sort of like the news. People seem to gravitate towards the negative side over the positive side of aging.
You could try to start a thread and see how it goes.
Just title it "Your favorite quotes" or some such.
Actually surprised we don't already have such a thread. Maybe we do.
Like Robert Louis Stevenson " make the most of the best and the least of the worst" is that a good idea?
Working hard on laundry,
considering an increase in car insurance,
putting off my taxes.
Eating what is called a Papusa. Yay, it has meat in it.
People see him as pesky, hate him, and want him dead. They try to shut him up, make him disappear, and constantly criticize his presence.
He was likely tripped up by all the criticism. Or maybe it was me who pushed him over.
Learning to accept his presence has been challenging. Talking about him all the time has made it more of an irritation for me. Because, I admit, I don't much like him either. He never really goes away, never changes his color, even though I have tried to eliminate him. But people should feel free to talk about how irritating he is.
(a discussion ensues about his gender, age, and religion, lol).
Send: What did he "trip" over?
