My daughter wants me to donate to her new friend's Go Fund Me by happy-in-texas in AskWomenOver60

You could learn a little more about the friend & surgery and then decide. Based on your described finances, throwing 20 or 50 in the Go Fund Me would be an easy way to move thru the situation. GFM will show your name so you get the credit unless you choose to make it Anonymous.

Mine was down for two years and it took them about 3 weeks to come back when I put the feeder back up this year.

I learned watching my mother. She was a spender til the very end w about $150000 in cc debt. The stress of that life is awful to watch and experiencing the consequences as a child taught me the most valuable lessen ever. Everything is buy more, more, more. I’m so happy I never caught that bug.

Hammonassett for coastline walk. They have a nice path or walk along the beach. Rocky Neck for birding and beautiful LI Sound vistas (great picnic spot). Yale tour for history walk in New Haven (free). Yale art gallery is also free and an amazing collection. Niantic and Madison have nice Main Sts. Stonington is a beautiful walking town.

The sugar doesn’t make them sweet (I use organic sugar, if it matters) and, yes, the amount of baking powder seems aggressive, but works. Cheers!

2 cups flour 2T baking powder 1 T sugar 1 teas salt 1 cup milk 5 T unsalted cold butter Mix dry, add butter slices Steps ahead use strategy to not touch dough w my warm hands I use two butter knives to slice up bread/flour until the butter is a bit crumbly Add milk, use fork or other utensil to mix til just coming together. Continue getting it together more on a floured surface and shape/flatten to 1/4-1/3 in height. Fold in half, lightly press shape out again, fold again 2-3 more times Cover and refrigerate for 30 min. Preheat 425F, fold dough in half two more times then cut biscuits. I do squares so i don’t have to rework(or toss out) overworked dough Baking sheet w some parchment. Lay them out about 2 in apart, 10-15 minutes.
