My latest. Snowed-in therapy.

When I used to lose power in hurricane country, it was hot tea that I missed most. I experimented with tea lights and 3 tea lights for 10 minutes worked for me.

Compassionate. I'll take it!

Thanks for the info. I'll look up the movie and Tour de Force.

I learned how to make fudge from this cookbook. I'm tempted to make the cheese and clove cornucopias, but I think I would put them on an Impossible Quiche made by mixing Bisquick into the egg mixture. Yes, I'm a Boomer.

I feel your pain. After 5 years in my last house, I figured out that the cost of repairs averaged $400 a month. This for a house my inspector called "a great little house." I hope you find good repair people. I did find a good electrician--a mother of triplets.

Looking back, the receptionists needed triage training. After the optometrist saw me, they seemed miffed.
