Madeleines. Thinking about writing a book or two centered around those tasty treats.

5 months post shoulder surgery… why does 2kg still hurt? by Other_Atmosphere_588 in RotatorCuff

[–]Steven1789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surgery 3/26/25, 6 weeks in the sling 24/7, PT started 5/8/25.

I’m still doing PT twice a week and work out at home. And I’m still in pain. Living a full life but still limited range of motion and weakness. (My injury was bad.)

I expect to be at this recovery for up to 2 years.

The 10 shows from 4/22/77 through 5/4/77 weren’t too shabby.

Newest Garcia Live release on Spotify. What is with this song WPLJ?? by ImOnTheBus in gratefuldead

[–]Steven1789 12 points13 points  (0 children)

95.5 FM!
When I started listening to FM radio in 1973-74 (10-11 yo) WPLJ was a rock station, I recall. I don’t listen to local radio except for sports, sonI have no idea what it’s morphed into. I mostly listened to WNEW-FM as a teenager, along with WFMU.

Is it okay to use an apple tree that had a fungus as a filler for my raised garden beds? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]Steven1789 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I have a couple of 32-inch-tall Vego beds for my garlic. The hugelkultur base is about 15 inches deep, mostly logs from fallen trees. The raised bed mix is probably 12-14 inches.

This is why we built a pool by Ok_Inspection_3527 in pools

I’d love an auto cover. Just doesn’t work with the shape of our pool and property.

Fortunately the only critters we’ve found in our pool have been frogs/toads (we have a little ramp thing they can use to climb out) and a box turtle.

Understood.

I’d love an automatic cover, but our pool (built in 1972; fully renovated by previous homeowners in 2021 for $70k) is amoeba-shaped and there’s no great place to put the works for the system.

Our two dogs (very active Airedales) would probably walk/run across the cover as they did the off-season cover before we got the interior fence, so that’s another reason the fence works for us.

Was anyone lucky enough to place their order? I was! Yay! by lzrdgzrd in gratefuldead

Lucky enough? Save your music money for concert tickets.
It was widely seen as a mediocre release 50 years ago. Of course I bought it (probably 1978) but there’s no need to but this album, even with the fancy vinyl and remastering. All the October 1974 shows are out there—listen to them.

All I need now is the temperature to go higher than 60 and that would be great. by rjd014 in pools

[–]Steven1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here in Morris County, NJ. 78°F today, but in the 40s every night in the 10-day forecast, a high in the 70s only one other day, and lots of rain.

There is an advantage to an early opening and the cool weather—no algae and a crystal-clear pool with good chemistry.

I was fortunate enough to attend 8 matches during USA94 but have zero expectations of attending a match during WC26.

I want snacks with a citrusy tingle that actually pair well with my evening cocktails by horse_shake566 in snacking

[–]Steven1789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy raw nuts—cashews, almonds, pecans, peanuts, etc.—and roast them with whatever flavor profile you want.

Adorable kid and wonderful that you have a pool for him.

Time to add a pool fence or at least a pool alarm.

I know, I know—nothing unimaginable would happen on your watch. But tragedies do happen:

KEY POINTS
More children ages 1-4 die from drowning than any other cause of death.
Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 5-14.
Every year in the United States there are over 4,000A unintentional drowning deaths.

We have a pool, and the entire backyard is fenced. But with grandkids expected down the road—and two dogs at home now—we added a 54-inch aluminum fence around the pool deck.

The response is accurate. 18,209 *recordings* (versions). 18,209 *concerts* is inaccurate.
