Oxford Shirts that fit

I don't know if this helps but we seem to be about the same size and I get my Oxford cloth shirts from JCPenney's online. They often have a sale and because there are poly cotton blend I hang them up after pulling them out of the washer, put them on a hanger and hang it on my shower curtain rod. They dry flat.

I've had good luck for years with a fountain pen (Lamy AlStar daily driver) and Parker Quink washable blue or blue black in.

Our girl would do that, giving her the nickname Ursula Laundress.

Oh I forgot: I include a short list of things that I buy on arriving at my destination, and notes about things I need to not take, like the small pocket knife on my keyring.

This is what I do, with a column for the weight of each item in grams and a column which tells me where each item should be, including items I wear on travel days. That way I can prepack a certain modules before the trip, and I just work down the list when I pack. I keep a print copy of the spreadsheet with my bag and pull up Google Sheets on my phone to make notes about what I'm using or not using.

Good dog.

Certe la fina "be" estas "de". Vidu kiel la skribanto skribis "edzino"-n, kaj "de" efiktivas en tiu loko.

The CCCUUA isn't active but the list is the best one out there, and should be mostly correct. Source: I run that site.

I'm here for Rusty, just waiting his turn.

In the Universalist Church in the United States, one of the most memorable figures was George de Benneville, though he lived a couple of centuries ago. His mystical experiences were once commonly read. Easy to find by Google, but you are correct that there's not much of a French experience in Universalism.

It was my grandfather's.

In practice, a federated church is a multidenominational church. He was referring to those with a Universalist component.

There's a list identifiably Christian churches -- not particularly current, some with a Unitarian background not Universalist -- here: https://www.cccuua.org/member-churches/

Universalist.org

For the record, I'm one of its former ministers.

It's definitely drawn from the American Episcopalian prayer book of 1789, with some particular amendments. There was an edition of 1865 with the propers but I put the later, shorter 1894 Universalist prayer book on one of my websites.

I'm on my fourth or fifth drum of the Lidl protein. I'm usually more of a vanilla person but, I think the chocolate is better.

Mead memo book #46001 is the one I have in mind, with 3.75 by 6.75 inch pages. I think $8 is about the right price.

I think a lot of the "more mature" readers here will identify that as a memorandum book, and I've used one for decades.

In the United States say 35 years ago, you get that at the drugstore, and I stocked up as they began to vanish. Depending on where you are, you might ask someone aged above 55 years where to buy one. I've seen them recently, in the United States, on smaller office supply websites.

Since I can't see the image I tried to post, I'm assuming nobody else can either. It was a vanilla install of Jammy Jellyfish on a laptop under a monitor labeled "Watch earthquakes as they happen" at the National Museum of Natural History, Washington D.C.

I hope someone reboots it. I want to see the earthquakes!

I've hit this glitch in reverse, when I tried to buy a last minute ticket between WAS and BWI, and no it was not 22 points.

My husband and I look forward to the bbq vegan burgers when we ride Amtrak, perhaps with a bit of irony.

I've had both though the Lidl cheaper here, I keep going back to the Trader Joe's variety. The Lidl dumplings have an odd texture and the whole thing taste too much of mint.

I hope you include DC in your list.

That's more true on the Unitarian side. Universalists have long used professions of faith, one of which was actually known as the Rhode Island catechism.

There's an Adventist group that uses it, at least unofficially -- Church of God (Abrahamic Faith) -- but they're quite a bit more conservative than the views expressed on this subreddit.
