I was just messaging with my niece - she’s been on bedrest for a week due to high BP. Her due date is in a week anna half, but they’re going to induce tomorrow. She said she’ll either have a Star Wars baby or a Cinco de Mayo baby! 😃 I’m hoping for a little Yoda to go with our little Kermette - then we’ll have 2 greenies! 😃 ---

Morning all. Up at a more usual hour (6:30am) today, so life seems normal. Thinking about going to see the Avengers movie this afternoon now that the first blitz is over and there may be seats available. Pictures of my new cee-mint patio are up on my facebook page, pm me if you want the address (many of you are friends there). 68F heading for the mid-80’s. May have to open up the windows and let some air into the room… All y’all take care. ---

They rarely made their own; they contracted with an assortment of others and added their brand sometimes and rebranded other times. But like the “PGH STORE FIX & EQUIP CO” they turned out/sold some top-shelf stuff. Pittsburgh was actually pretty central for superior cutting instruments from the 1860s through the 1950s due to the availability of specialty steel.

I have procured comestibles and have shrimpies all ready for tonight’s feast. Like **Butters** said, shrimp 'n grits is good stuff! Also easy to make. The fresh broccoli looked good so it shall be tonight’s vegetative matter. I also bought some farfalle and was _appalled_ at a recipe on the back of the box. It called for farfalle, pasta sauce and :eek: fart blossoms! :eek: Why would anyone do that to perfectly good and innocent farfalle and pasta sauce! ---

It is a rare condition and she is legally blind due to not being able to open her eyes. Must be horrible. Post pics of new house or just tell us about it. back from the Pubic store. Set up with grub for about a week. tahred and sleepy. ---
