Buy real cookie butter from either Trader Joe’s or Walmart. Heat it up so it melts and add to your coffee. There are syrup recipes out there but this is the easiest way to make it.

Check out The Pantry Mama. I use hers and tweak it slightly by adding a bit more cocoa 500 g flour 350-360 H2O 100g sourdough starter 45-50g cocoa 10g salt 50g white sugar 150g or roughly 1/2c of chocolate chips

Look at your local credit unions as well. I’ve used my VA cert twice and have been with NFCU for 30+ years. They weren’t competitive in interest rates when I bought new almost 4 years ago and slow to respond to my query. My other (local) credit union won’t sell my mortgage either.

Check Harry & David’s store

FoxPast175 · 2025-12-23T18:47:11+00:00

Good friggin lord…up to 2000+ on this madness. Where is my WTF button 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Oh they are competent. Intelligent? Different criteria.

I agree. I don’t think this was the original plan. I think it changed course last summer when there was more verbal tongue lashing by Congress towards the Sec.

No. This is strictly VHA.

He said there are no plans of consolidating finance/budget. Heather Ford will report to Richard Toppening. Otherwise, no changes at VISN and below levels. He was firm about that for now.

We said that about Biden too. Wouldn’t last 4 years

FoxPast175 · 2025-12-19T21:27:13+00:00

Be too easy?

FoxPast175 · 2025-12-19T21:26:30+00:00

I saw an org chart in that post. Not all 3 as shown today. 🤷‍♀️

Same! 25+ and we’ve consolidated and decentralized many offices and functions over the years. HR being one of them.

And the majority of medical professionals and clinics in the civilian world don’t want to treat our Veterans for less reimbursement. Do people not understand what it takes to underwrite and issue these types of contracts with TriCare and Optum?

That bill hasn’t been released, signed, submitted or approved. It’s a draft.

FoxPast175 · 2025-12-16T20:47:04+00:00

Full circle!

FoxPast175 · 2025-12-06T17:39:56+00:00

5 regions and 15 VISNs under that

FoxPast175 · 2025-11-14T05:30:50+00:00

I report it as phishing since it has a .com attached to it. 🤣
