[Moderating] @Beckdawrek , you might not have intended it as such, but I’m having a hard time seeing “Jewboy” as anything other than incredibly derogatory. Please think about what you’re posting, and how it’s likely to come across, before you post it. ---

He called himself that. I was quoting. I certainly meant nothing by it. Post 25 ---

[Moderating] Ah, yes, and he just called my attention to that fact, also. Carry on, then. ---

So sorry. We have to be careful these days. I was insensitive to others, at least. I apologize to anyone it upset. ---

If anything, it is my fault, not Becks, and not Chronos, who just want us to be nice to each other. GROUP HUG!!! 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 And I fully took it as a compliment, as was pleased to be considered a good husband. I’ve had good practice, as we’ve been married over 22 years, and together for just about 30. I’m actually quite proud (more of her than myself) that we are officially the standard-bearer among our friends at still being together (happily for the most part) since college. Perhaps because we both love to cook and eat, if perhaps, too much for our waistlines! Bringing us back to our thread now that we’re all warm and fuzzy, here is a delicious option for dessert that you can make with all shelf/pantry stable ingredients; > **[15-Minute Date Balls Recipe](https://www.unicornsinthekitchen.com/date-balls-recipe/)** > > These date balls are ready in 15 minutes and use a handful of ingredients. They're naturally sweetened and so easy to make. Although I admit to using pecans, not walnuts, because I grew up in Las Cruces NM which has a substantial amount of pecans growing. ---

_“These date balls are ready in 15 minutes and use a handful…”_ This would have been accurate in my early days. Sadly, overly optimistic now. ---
