Many of the plants in my garden are nostalgia plants and the snapdragons fall into that category so of course I play with them 🙂

Oh, he said many manly words while learning that the reset button wasn’t on the bottom, but on the side.

You know they all will be paying a lot of attention to you today!

Panhandlers in town accept plastic and have their Venmo account numbers on their “Will work for food” signs, so I guess it’s a fairly reasonable expectation. OTOH, we always bring ones and fives when we go to craft shows because it is just so much easier.

I’m sorry you didn’t sell more of your amazing creations. Draco is holding up very well to being thrown off the bed a dozen times a day so I know you make durable stuff.

There was another nut with a gun. [Active Shooter incident in Lewiston, Maine 10/25/2023 (found dead, presumed suicide) - #161 by TeroSunbear](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/active-shooter-incident-in-lewiston-maine-10-25-2023-found-dead-presumed-suicide/992109/161)

I have words.
