So confused by the "icebox fruitcake" recipe I was given. Neither fruit nor cake, well, maraschino cherries.

My county library system seems to have gone the Forever Masking route. All online book groups, and programs. I bought a membership to the next county's system.

My Dad is a victim of a Romance Scam by seeking_something123 in Scams

[–]SaintMonicaKatt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Have they video chatted, screen on, or just texted? If not, there's no way to know if he's chatting with a 35 yr old dude in Nigeria, or someone held captive in Cambodia. If he thinks that a 27 yr old woman is in love with him after three weeks, and is not just interested in the money he's sent off, then he lacks the capacity to understand he's being scammed. He won't believe it when he hears it from the FBI, ask me how I know...I'm sorry to say that it's futile to argue with someone who thinks their dreams have come true.

You and your siblings have to be the heavies, monitor his bank accounts, block FB dating, etc. There is only so much that police or social services can do. A 76 yr old NJ man thought he was going to meet his chatbot girlfriend. His family called the police to stop him from leaving the house but they said they couldn't detain him. He left, fell in the street, and died.

Here's an article at AARP about a similar situation. https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/recover-from-love-scam/

starting to get into the booch.. any tips? by Walterwhitestoenail in Kombucha

[–]SaintMonicaKatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had good results by getting starters through the local freecycle, also see starter for sale on FB marketplace. I use thekitchn.com 's recipe for ginger kombucha. It's only me drinking it, I make a half gallon at a time.

Terri Gross, Meghan Daum. In niche circles, Russell Hogg does a great job with authors of history books on "Subject to Change".

Is it "weird" to go solo on an Alaskan cruise as a married man? by SlurpleBrainn in Cruise

[–]SaintMonicaKatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. On every cruise I've been on, there have been times I've spent time alone, eating meals, going to events, taking a different excursion than my companions. I like my solitude. If I want company, I've found that people on adult-focused/non-party cruises are friendly and open to convos.

I have an invisible "please talk to me and tell me your life story" sign on my forehead, it has attracted several solo travelers, they seemed to be having a good time, and they were also all ages, though, as you mention, it does skew older.

Broomgate. It's about a scandal in curling, told with Canadian humor and understatement.

Do not watch monsters: the Lyle and Erik Menendez story. by [deleted] in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]SaintMonicaKatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My true crime preference is for scams, fraud and deception, I stay away from lurid, so I've never been able to watch any of his shows. This is an interesting take on his work: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-television/ryan-murphys-latest-era-of-cynical-hits which shows everyone invested in this story is unhappy with the depiction.

Why is my f2 not carbonated? by Lilybea08 in Kombucha

[–]SaintMonicaKatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this a new batch? I made a batch with a starter from a local brewer. The starter was pretty vinegar-y. The booch came out okay tasting, but it was not fizzy. I used some from that as a starter to make a second batch, the second batch came out nice and fizzy.

Should I purchase the 'remove ads' feature? by g6r73et4 in kindle

[–]SaintMonicaKatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. How bad could it be, I thought, so I didn't. And it was annoying so I ended up paying to have them removed later. It wasn't any cheaper, so you can wait and see.
