I got busy cooking yesterday.
Had made beans & ham in the instant pot, day before.
Hubby wanted some of them made into calico beans.

Was happy that they turned out to be tasty.
Finally got the batch of cookies made .

Did get outside & do some flower garden work.
Planted one of the pots of tulips I bought for Easter.

Another rainy day in NW PA.

Google owns Youtube so now they probably want to consolidate the two platforms.

I'm not sure why Google or YouTube came up in this thread, but wanted to clarify that YouTube was launched in 2005 and bought by Google in 2006.

Google itself is the #1 visited site on the web, YouTube is #2. The two sites probably as integrated as they're going to get - since it ain't broke, Google would be unlikely to fix it.
 
Actually only done some light chores today... It's a grim windy overcast day, the kind of day that makes you feel tho' you should take a nap even tho' you've not done anything to be tired...

As for Youtube and Google...I've had to use one password for both since about 2 years ago or perhaps even more... to get into my youtube account I have to use my Google or Gmail password...
 
Big excitement here early yesterday evening. A neighbor rang our doorbell to let us know that the house on our other side was on fire. Eek! The roof was pouring smoke from the kitchen area. Two big firetrucks, paramedics and police pulled up shortly after we went outside to see what was happening.

It seems the mom left a candle burning on a wooden kitchen table, forgot about it, and went out with her teenage daughter. When they arrived home, they opened the door and were hit with a wall of smoke. She got two of their three dogs out and was in hysterics over the third. As soon as he heard there was another dog inside, a firefighter went in and rescued him.

The firefighters were so impressive. Knocked down the fire itself within 30 minutes and were wonderfully professional, helpful, sympathetic and kind with our neighbors. Exactly the type of response one would hope for.

I'm not sure how much the fire itself ruined, but there is undoubtedly a ton of smoke damage.

My husband has always been uneasy when I've burned candles, whether the scented kind in jars or tapers on a dinner table. Guessing this will move his needle even further in the anti-candle direction.

Yikes!
I'm not a fan of 'older' people having candles burning .... and I've told my daughters never to buy me any of those big beautiful/scented candles again.
They used to think that was a nice gift - NOT! ...lol ... I had to explain the 'forgetfulness' factor.

This neighbor is in her early 40s. I agree with you though, it's very easy to forget about candles. The older we get, the more apt we are to have things like that slip our minds.
 
checkin in...still alive...lots of hurting bits and trying to reconcile to the fact that the thumb has completely gone though I am already feeling phantom pain and want to hold it....weird feeling, nothing to hold but I guess I will get used to it.....stitches out in a few days so will have bit more mobility with bulky dressing off.

Good to hear from you @Mizmo. I hope it heals well, and you will adapt okay without the thumb.

Take care 🤗

well it's not going to look pleasant that's for sure, and I'm sure you'll shed a few tears for it, and who could blame you.. today push the thumb of your other hand under your palm for a minute , and it'll perhaps lessen the shock of the sight of the poorly hand when you get the bandages removed..

Four inches of fresh snow this morning, it was all gone and dry yesterday, and I was taking pics of some of the tiny wild flowers popping up. Glad I got all the grading work done. Should be a lot less muddy as it melts off. Little bit spent her first night in the dog crate with no drama. Had her bed, and bone in there, and she seemed right at home, and no little surprises for me in the morning, though she was getting pretty good about that on her own lately. Just another day in the shop today. Disassembled the motor on my radial arm saw, and have to order new bearings for it. It's only 40 years old and has had thousands upon thousand of feet of lumber run through it. I guess they just don't make things the way they used to. :) Painting the backsides of first five inside garage door sections. I would attach a paint brush to Li'l Bits tail so she could help, but she seems to be lacking in that department.

I'm bored. I should go out but there's nowhere I want to go. If it were consistently sunny I'd be more inclined to go out. That's an excuse I guess.

I feel the same...kinda bored with the same old same old... but it's overcast and windy , and it's now racing towards 7pm.. even tho' it's still daylight, but there's really nowhere to go at this time of day on my own..other than shops and I don't need anything

I know it is too soon for us to hear from her, with something as major as this, but I am hoping things are going alright for her. I felt a need to share my feeling on that, with friends here.
