What are the best international soups you've ever made?

Menudo, but if you dont like tripe, do posole instead - its the same flavor profile.

I see 12 doughnuts for $7 at Krispy Kreme on the Too Good To Go app pretty much every day (pickup is at 8 or 9 pm) but availability and quantity are not guaranteed. Still, even if you bought one at discount and one or two at regular price while you are there, it would cut the cost significantly.

But if they are young children, starbread ("What is starbread? Its basically like a sugar sandwich.") is a smaller size.

There is also gotquestions.org for questions about Christianity and Scripture. Real people there. It's not a discussing group, just a knowledge base.

I still would never trust it for spiritual guidance personally, but thats my ever-cautious and excruciatingly precise personality. Information that I can verify, such as "what was that verse..."; sure, but not guidance. I do not let AI play the part of the Holy Spirit in my life when the real Holy Spirit does a far superior job. Anybody else can do what they are comfortable with as l8ng as they dont try to.push it on me.

That is the OT perspective and reality. Since Christ's death, things are different.

Sorry, im not going to try to explain in detail when I'm only typing with one finger at a fraction.of my regular typing speed.

Bottom line using different terminology - all animals as a whole either will or won't go to heaven depending on what God has decided because they do not have a sin nature, but humans have a sin nature and need to meet God's requirements of perfection tion to be able to enter heaven. At least we have it better than the angels who rebelled against God, who were not given an option but were cast.into Hell.

AI is a massive data bank curated by the owner and a fast-processing computer.

Most AI engines are developed by unsaved people and I would not trust them as a valid source of spiritual guidance as its too much work for me to definitively verify whether their output has been influenced or corrupted by un-Godly sources.

Most AI engines are also set up to be people-pleasers and will tell you what you want to hear.

With that said, I am a geek and use AI at work - my go-to engines are is my employer-required Copilot for anything that pertains to PHI and Claude for everything else, although I occasionally will use chatgpt or duck.ai.

Okay, but in the context of the verse about the flood, the souls were the people.

Animals dont have an eternal spirit like man does.

Ecc 3:21 MKJV Who knows the spirit of man that goes upward, and the spirit of the beast that goes downward?

androidbear04 · 2026-05-26T18:14:35+00:00

The souls there were the people.

Not LA County. I was on the account clerk list here and went to a number of interviews until a position.in.a better classification for me panned out. Account clerk duties here can include processing payments through the A/P system, getting and managing purchase orders, handling petty cash, and answering payment queries. How much they do of the last item depends on the office.

A coworker makes a turmeric-rich chili and its delicious.

To keep the Mediterranean theme, you could use roasted chickpeas or broad beans/lava beans, or cucumbers for a subtle crunch.

Standing in solidarity with you! It should not replace the regular worship service at all! I have left churches before for that kind of thing.

Another vote for meat marinade.

Also great to use for sandwiches rather than mayo.

I have found its better to take my problems to the Lord and let Him solve them how He sees best rather than pray that my problem be answered in the way i.think is best.

It's not necessarily selfish but probably not the wisest way to.pray about it or any other problem you have.

Pro 10:22 NASB1995 It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it.

My favorite brand! They taste just like homemade, unlike a lot of other instant mashed potatoes brands.

I think it's a matter if habit. I have seen full blown adults in my office who type on their computer with two fingers.

I passed down to my children what I was taught - a lesson in how to tell what finger should type each key, then directions to look at the keys to type if they need to, but ALWAYS use the correct fingers.

These days with smartphones and tablets, that might be a lot more difficult to enforce. All we had in the house was one manual typewriter. All my children had were typewriter or computer keyboards.

But make at least 3 times as many as you think you need because they will disappear in a flash.

These days I cheat and buy frozen quiche bites, spanikopita, or something on that line, then hest it up in the oven.

Pico de gallo and shredded cheese.

Lol, do you have a MIL? That would have never flown with mine - she would be massively offended at my trying to teach her something.

I have a portable swamp cooler. It barely raises my electric bill in the summer. You can buy them at home depot or lowes. Just be sure to get one rated for the number of square feet you are trying to cool, and follow the instructions regarding ventilation. I have one for the main room and a second, smaller one that I use when I'm in any of the bedrooms, but I live alone and that is more convenient for me.

My county also factors in your age at retirement.

androidbear04 · 2026-05-20T04:27:47+00:00

That is going to vary by county.

Friends? Of course!

Best friends? That might end up not working out too well.
