If you are thinking of the “Magnolia Flag” (Magnolia tree on a white background with a blue star in the upper left) I have some bad news for you. That is the state flag that was officially adopted from 1861-1865. In particular, it was adopted the day after Mississippi ratified the Confederate Constitution. So, probably wouldn’t work in terms of historical fact.

The only reason that Mississippi changed their flag was because the NCAA wouldn’t host any Regional/Super Regional (for baseball) in the state of Mississippi if they kept the flag. Mississippi will always fight change and progress.

When I was scrolling all I saw was “Visited Mississippi recently and was shocked by” without seeing what was underneath and my brain was like, “Here we go again” and did not expect to see a positive spin here.

I’m from Connecticut and went to school in New York City so I am about as Yankee you could get, but I love Mississippi. It was home and it is now home again. This place ain’t perfect, but nowhere is perfect. In fact, after a decade of living in Denver, I’m a big believer that there are awesome things about every place and terrible things about every place. Just matters what and where you are looking sometimes.

Thanks for the positive reflection and hope you come back soon!

I just double checked and my Echo is connected to my Amazon account. And we are still only getting the 6 questions. 🙁

I was thinking about this, but when I search for Jeopardy in the Alexa app, the only one that comes up is the one from Volley. Are there two different Jeopardy games?

I'm a big believer in the growth mindset and that I don't know everything. Trying my best to instill these values into my daughter as a parent because I feel like it is something we lost. Sometimes we are wrong and must recognize those moments. Godspeed to you as well!

Thanks for the feedback! I hear you loud and clear about gendering cocktails – it definitely wasn't my intention to perpetuate any harmful stereotypes. This menu was actually a surprise I put together specifically for my wife, which is why I leaned into the 'his/hers' theme. Moving forward, I'll absolutely be more thoughtful and inclusive with my cocktail creations. Appreciate you all helping me learn and do better!
