Now, a lot of people have no idea or interest in the Cat Fancy, which is worldwide. Most people if they appear interested at all, assume it is like the AKC dog shows shown on tv. Yes and no.

The Biden administration wants to ban menthol cigarettes because menthol cigarettes, long most popular among communities of color, have been targeted by advocacy groups that believe menthol cigarettes are a "gateway" product in the mistaken belief that menthol cigarettes aren't as "harsh" as regular cigarettes.

I'm a closet foodie, something I admit with a somewhat guilty conscience given all of the hunger and food insecurity in the world. Nevertheless, as a closet foodie, my secret passion is Ethiopian cuisine. The fact that a country that has long been associated with recollections of famines has one of the most unique and flavorful cuisines is one of life's strange ironies.

Got a call from Frank, my old handyman back east. He phones periodically, but always towards the end of the year to remind me about Dr. Who – I send him a CD of the previous year's episodes every Xmas. He doesn't have TV and used to come to my place to watch. Not welcome in everyone's house

We hate shopping at Wal-Mart but since the prices at the Wal-Mart Supermarkets are up to 20% less for the same items at Publix, and we are on a very limited income, we would be fools not to shop there. Today, however, we were quite shocked by one of the changes they have made to the store. There are no more cashiers. None.

Everything about this man is interesting. It is difficult to know where to begin to describe him. His story is just so interesting. I guess the best way is to just relate how I came to know him. V arrived at my door to do demolition to my old bathroom with his 16 year old son.

The cello is up in her genius workshop, along with some antiques, and some rolled up Oriental rugs that we are not using. The last couple of years, I have listened to her cello playing from a distance. It seems to improve in sudden steps. It was her first stringed instrument, so if you were not watching, you could not tell if she was playing a drum, a kazoo, or livestock.

You will notice that the sizes of the images on the left hand column of the home page have been increased.
This was made necessary by a formatting problem on the mobile version of the website. At the former size of the featured images, the headlines were wrapping around the featured image, which trashed the home page design on mobile platforms. That has now been corrected by increasing the size of the featured image.
We will be increasing the number of items in the sidebar to compensate.
If you cannot find the excerpt box, you can turn it on by going to the Screen Options tab at the top right hand corner of the screen, right under your screen name.
