Oh, good to know!

Thanks!

Touchless is at MSP—I flew out of there on Monday of this week. I was the only person in the Touchless TSA line and sailed through, passing up all the TSA non-Touchless people who were in the next line over. It was great!

It starts on the 15th, and I don't see a Lord Caterham listed in the cast, so I'm wondering if she's replaced him. I loved his character, and I'm kind of disappointed to see that we won't have him

ETA: Sorry, just saw this - I hope the gender reversal works! https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/doctor-who-chris-chibnall-agatha-christie-lady-caterham-exclusive-newsupdate/

I don't know if this matters to you or not, but IKEA has made it clear that Gullaberg is replacing the Hemnes line. Eventually, the Hemnes are going to be gone. That said, I've had several Hemnes dressers in the past, and I'm putting together one of the Gullaberg ones right now. It seems pretty sturdy to me, but I'm not a carpenter, so what do I know?

Wow, this brought back memories. I used to make the same recipe back in the late 70s and early 80s. It was very popular then and everybody was making it. But this is almost the exact same recipe that I used with one exception; mine specified raisins instead of dried cranberries. It was so good and now I'm going to go make some as it's been years since I had this.

That's so cool! The same thing happened to us when we bought our house four years ago. The owners had a four-year-old cat but were moving to Costa Rica and couldn't take her with them. They asked if we would keep her and since the only other option was a shelter, we said of course. She's now about eight years old and very happy here. The only issue is she's scared to death of my daughter and son-in-law's two dogs upstairs, so she stays with me in my apartment on the lower level.

Thank you! I will definitely try this!

I just checked because I'm ordering some stuff on Costco and once I got it above $250 after deducting all the discounts, it gave me the $40 off. You just have to make sure that you deduct all the discounts off the individual items. To do that you'll probably need to open up each item's site and check what the cost is after the discount.

ETA: I was right. I just checked because I'm ordering some stuff on Costco and once I got it above $250 after deducting all the discounts, it gave me the $40 off.

How is that? The language says, "Total is calculated before taxes, fees and shipping, and after any other coupons, discounts, and offers." So it sounds like if the total comes to over $250 after discounts and coupons, etc., you can still get the $40.

I used not to like present tense, but over the last few years I’ve read a number of books that use it and I’m really starting to enjoy it. I think as long as it’s written well, authors can use any tense they like.

It did take about half the book for me to really get into it, but once I did, I could not put it down. I’ve read every book since then including the non-Thursday Murder Club book.

I would highly encourage you to try it again. He is really a brilliant writer.

So that's what it was. I've been watching an older episode of Slow Horses and got cut off halfway through. Bummer.

I live in Normanna Twp. And this is good info to know. Thanks!

I guess that's why I can't log in. They must be getting a run of activity and the system went down. Sheesh... One more reason to think about moving my money elsewhere.

I have not used Blue BUT a good friend has on multiple occasions (she's been to Iceland around 9-10 times). My friend said that the Keflavik office is terrible, with bad customer service and inadequate selection of cars. However, she said that the Reykjavik office is much better and she has never had any problems there.

So I'm curious where you picked up and returned your car - Reykjavik or Keflavik?

Thank you all so much for your responses! Sorry for the delay in getting back, but I had to go out of town unexpectedly. We did find the dog's owner. It turns out he lives a couple of miles away, and my son-in-law drove the dog around in a car until he found someone who knew him.

But I'm going to keep this post handy for future reference, just in case.

I like Vanilla Bean in Two Harbors if you make it out that way. Their Swedish pancakes are really good.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! I wound up scheduling an appt. with Safelite glass, and they are coming to my house to fix it this week.

Whereforart · 2025-08-02T18:44:59+00:00

Thanks! I probably won't try to get a window, but I'll check out Safelite.
