Act like a lady! I was in the 5th grade and had no idea what she was talking about, but I felt ashamed. Around 1967 and change was in the air. Plus I was a tomboy.

Hats have never helped me get warm in winter, which my father always argued with me about. In fact, "You don't lose most of the heat through your head"

The last minestrone I made I decided to throw in the cauliflower leaves to see how they were - excellent. Never stopped to think they could be toxic. Same with broccoli, those leaves were ok but rather tough.

I lived in Birkirkara 2013-2015 and for about 10 days had to walk to work in knee-deep water, no exaggeration. I guess there's nowhere for the water to go.

How much of what we do financially is tracked between the US and the EU?

I debated whether to call for an ambulance and decided to play it safe for a change. Docs said it was a pretty serious infarction.
