Is there such a beverage as an orange creamsickle? Without alcohol in it? I'm looking for something similar to Starbucks Pink Drink, but is a creamy orange creation. It would taste like a liquid version of those Creamsickles I loved as a kid. I've been searching but everything has lemon-lime soda in it 🧐.

I just got the call that said “ Grandma, I’m in trouble .. I need money”. I’m in jail”. I said “Sorry to hear” then hung up. WTH?
Our son-in-law's mother fell for this horrid scam about 3 years ago. She never called her son's family (they live 3 hours away), just went to Walmart & sent cash. She got another call the next day and once again (no call to the family!) went back to Walmart to send more cash. The employees got suspicious & called the police. She was very embarrassed (and she didn't have dementia or anything like that). So, I really like this cool response to a lowlife. Good goin', @kristen111 🎉

You know this pains me, having to give any Yankee any love at all, but here we are...
Hmmm...Soto left the Nats (😩) and first went to San Diego. He is sorely missed. Love the cleats!!

Sadly, behind a paywall so can't read it. 😿
I need to figure this out because I already "gift" shared the link with my sister.
In the meantime, you might want to look up "My Beloved Monster" by Caleb Carr. It's about this author and the wildish cat he rescued from a shelter (it was a Siberian Forest Cat...one of the big "northern" cats like Maine Cooncats and Norwegian Forest Cats). They both had very rough early lives, but he said they healed each other.

I hope this link works. The review is excellent but the comments under the article are wonderful! All from cat lovers, sharing briefly their stories or memories of great cats. Don't know if I can read this book (just reading the review made my eyes get a bit watery).

I was searching for a good almond sorta- granola cereal but couldn't find it. I used to find it at Wegmans, but no longer. So I bought a box of Kashi (??) almond cereal. When I opened the box and popped a small handful in my mouth...🤮. It tasted like OTT stale cereal. I threw it out & recycled the box. Took forever to get that rancid, oil taste out of my mouth.

I made a French Yogurt Cake the other day. I made a gluten free variation that I found (on a website I can't find right now) substituting 2 containers of GF flour plus 1 container of almond meal for the 3 of AP flour. It came out quite good, very moist and flavorful. I flavored it with orange zest and made some orange glaze for the top. Definitely will make again. Next time I think I'll make the marble version.
Love this recipe! Thanks for sharing. And orange zest is definitely what I'll use 🍊

@Gramto6 They don't care. They sit back and let that DD&D, or whatever Fieri's show is called, haul in the advertising bucks. And their neverending competitions fill almost all the other hours. A few folks have true cooking shows. I've said too many times how much I miss the original, tranquil BC show. Ina covered everything: cooking instructions, tips on herbs, *simple* but elegant flower arrangements, and how to create a serene dining table setting (don't iron the napkin folds 🩷). OK...I feel better. I've vented 😁

Well, maybe I'll pop in next week to check it out. Weren't they doing leftovers? Or was that last week? I look at the listing in the guide and decide if it is even worth a peek. I can only take so much of that bunch at a time...
You & me both! It's safer to just check the website to see if the recipes are appealing. I watched the show last Sunday. Katie Lee made a no-bake dessert. When she listed the ingredients: graham crackers, frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), & instant French vanilla pudding (🤢), I went on alert. I couldn't wait to see if GZ would eat this awful concoction. The camera wasn't on him very much & he had his arm hiding his plate. I don't blame him for not wanting to eat it. But once again, he should've been supportive & been seen taking a bite. It's way past time to change the cooks/chefs on this show.

I haven't watched all of today's airing but it's listed in my DVR as the Gala, and in the first hour I saw no signs of the Gala. Way to go, NBC. (Any signs of Adam's LP? Yes, I am stupidly optimistic)
I love Jason Brown more than any other skater I've ever watched, but I too have had to mute his LP music all season. Groban's a big no for me, and I just can't hear Impossible Dream without thinking of the movie American Dreamz.
This was known as the Wrap (of Worlds). It had nothing to do with the gala. I put it on my calendar so I wouldn't miss it. And yes, at the start of showing the top skaters in the men's LP, they showed Adam's astounding leap from 19th in the SP standings, to 1st place in the LP...until Kagayama and then Ilia skated. Adam is competition for Ilia as he has the artistry on top of his 4 quads (he's probably right now working on adding two more quads!) I disliked Impossible Dream when it first came out, found it boring. Jason needs to have two interesting programs next season if he plans to continue competing (some of us are spoiled after Sinnerman & the Irish step dancing number 😁).

DSW thinks I must buy shoes every day, multiple times.
It's my favorite shoe store, but who the heck needs that many emails from them?!
Can you hit "spam"? That's what I do with emails from sources I've had nothing to do with (this is usually in my own subaccount, the one I use when registering at websites). I only use our joint email address to register with the NY Times & the Washington Post.

I missed the first 45 minutes today. In pairs, I really like the German team. For me, the best program in this wrap was G/P's Wuthering Heights FD. Those screeching violins brought back scary memories of the original Psycho. That music and the dramatic presentation + their lifts kept me glued to their every move. I hit the mute for Jason's LP. Ilia's championship performance was again so much fun to watch. It's also great to see his coach/dad's excited reaction to that LP.

I recently went on. Since then, I’m getting lots of pictures of people I don’t even know. Plus, I know very little how to navigate on Facebook, as I don’t want to engage, just talk about movies and shows I have in common. Is “lite” for me?
I had this problem 2 hours ago. Lots of posts from people I never heard of. Also from some blogs. What I do when this occasionally happens: Click on 3 dots above post. When it opens, click on "show less". The picture returns and I click on the 3 dots again, then click on "block..." the source. That gets rid of the uninvited posted picture. If anyone has a better system, please share. I had to do this on about 10 pictures. I don't know why...my Facebook is private, only seen by "friends".

I'm submitting my application to the Anybody But Yogesh Club. James was never a favorite of mine, but I'll be cheering him on (& all the others), hoping somebody will provide an early exit to Mr. Charm.

Is this the end of discussing Fixer Upper? I still watch the reruns because I enjoy seeing the transformations that Joanne creates. My favorite house renovation was the one for the Morrisons (big house & big budget may be the episode title). That house was so elegant.

Grocery prices are out of control. The ShopRite here raised its prices recently and now there are fewer people in the store all the time. I heard a piece on the local TV news that here in CT a gov't panel is going to look into getting the supermarkets to lower their prices because of a recent study that showed that our supermarket chains netted a spike in profits in 2023 of about 7%, way above any profit increases in previous years. That even factors in inflation so it's not that. They're just getting greedy now. Many of the things I buy are twice the price they were in 2020. I keep some of my receipts so I remember what things used to cost.
Good. I'm glad to hear that officials somewhere are looking into what I consider price gouging (by the manufacturers). I refuse to purchase items that I believe are overpriced. Shrinkage? Yogurt containers are the most obvious for me. But I know it's going on in a lot of products. I wait for sales on a number of products. I guess it's time to contact my Congressman. I worked for a Congressman back in the 70's so when you've got a big complaint? Let them hear from you. They'll attach your letter to a "bucking" slip and send it to the appropriate federal agency. It will get attention!

Terry is such a nice guy. Figure skating is so lucky to have him. During the NCAA's maybe 1.5 weeks ago, there was some delay or cancellation because I came across a documentary re: Jim Valvano. Terry was shown talking about being a player on that 1983 championship team. I lived in Raleigh back then and fondly remember Terry on TV, as a spokesman for the local animal shelter. I don't know how he can stand being around Tara & Johnny. And now he'll have to contend with Fallon? Sheesh 🙄.

I just read that Johnny and Tara, along with Terry, will be hosting the closing ceremonies at the Olympics in August, with Mike Tirico and Jimmy Fallon. The article also mentioned that there will be other hosts. This was at Google News, from a Delaware news source.

I just couldn't understand all the hoopla. Was 2017 at night? I seem to recall that we sat on the deck, staring up at the moon one night. I don't remember a lot of buzz over that. This past Monday afternoon was nice as we met new neighbors and had a chance to catch up with others. I know some folks who drove up to Niagara Falls for this. But I liked seeing the photos on TV (something I couldn't do with my phone camera).

@PRgal I'm certainly no expert, but I use Facebook Lite (all I want is to post & see family/friends photos). This may not be what you're needing, but it cut down a lot of stuff Facebook was "offering".

I just saw Boston pork butt advertised for 99 cents per pound. I’m going to get one and make pulled pork. The leftovers help make a good filling for egg rolls.
I miss pulled pork, & pig pickin's in eastern NC. Until I moved to Raleigh, barbecue was a verb, meaning cooking outside on a grill. It was a bit confusing at first. One of these days I'll work up the courage 😁 to make pulled pork in my Crockpot. Or, go to a BBQ restaurant up here that does eastern NC style.

We're getting a kick out of the CFP ads. A woman is on the examining table and the doctor asks, "So, which one of these legs are we operating on?" The patients says it's her rotator cuff & asks him if he's an orthopedist. He said, "I'm a Sagittarius". 😁

My father, his 2 brothers and their father all worked for Con Ed. I still remember my father reminding us to turn off lights and saying, I work for them, I don’t own the company! 🤣
Whenever my sister and I left lights on, my dad would yell, "Turn off the lights. I don't have stock in Central Hudson!" Many years later, my sister & BIL bought one stock in CH and gave it to him for his 65th birthday. That was so funny for us and we loved his sweet smile when he opened this nutty gift ❤️.

For sarcasm, just put a /s at the end of your last sentence. That's what they do in the comments section of the Washington Post.
