As a little girl my Dad used to bring home the most amazing peanut butter cookies from someone on his mail route. She gave the recipe to my Dad and I have been making them ever since. I never understand why some people don't like to share recipes. Would you share your recipe for these? I’d like to make them this week. There are several variations online, but I’d rather use a tried & true recipe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got them, and I started putting together a book of photos from our October Odyssey sailing. I have done a couple photo books from mixbook on our prior sailings, and they do a nice job. We got the email too. I think I will do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised the pharmacy was handing out n95 masks yesterday for everyone getting a booster. They even had a bunch of different stickers and coloring pages for the kids. That surprises me since I thought N95 was scarce and only for first responders/health care professionals. Glad you're feeling better. Now onward to cookie baking!

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted December 18, 2021 #41045 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Last night the whole family was together opening Christmas gifts! The biggest gift for me and Sharon was the fact we were all together…….. Until are youngest daughter handed us a big box to open….. As Sharon opened it I saw a huge look of happiness glowing on her face. She was tearing up. All I am seeing is a big empty book. The daughters jump up, look in the box and start screaming with happiness. Then they start hugging on our youngest daughter. I am still not getting it. I am thinking they are happy she thought to give us such a great gift. Must of been something they been planning to give us but couldn’t find it. At the bottom of the box was a picture but I couldn’t figure out what it is. Must be a pic of the gift that will later arrive. When I glanced at pic again I thought it might be a picture of a makeup kit. Didn’t understand all the excitement. Then Sharon had me look closer. I am sure the ladies here will understand why the girls didn’t have to look as close at the picture to understand the beautiful gift on the way! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bobmacliberty Posted December 18, 2021 #41046 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I don't remember who here was talking about YouTube TV but if you have not yet signed up, I'd wait. YouTube is negotiating with Disney for their channels. As of the end of yesterday, YouTubeTV no longer offers any Disney owned content. As compensation, they are reducing the monthly rate from $65 to $50 while this continues to happen. I was not originally concerned about this because we separately have the Disney+ service. The $15 monthly price reduction actually looked like a savings to me since I was paying for duplicate content. I did not realize though that Disney also owns ABC, ESPN, and a few other networks that we sometimes watch. These other networks are not in the Disney+ service so as of yesterday, I don't have access to these networks. YouTube TV even removed any recorded content from these networks on their cloud DVR service. I hope my daughter is all caught up with the Bachelorette! More info on this YouTube TV web page. I've been through this a few times with various providers (including once before with YouTube TV on Roku) and it is usually resolved quickly. Still, I'm not happy about missing ESPN and ABC so I contacted YouTube TV and said that I would be switching services if this isn't resolved by year end. I know that's a lot like coming here and blasting Royal Caribbean with a threat to switch cruise lines. YouTube TV doesn't know (and in the big picture may not care) that I exist. Switching to a competitor service like Hulu + Live TV or DirecTV Streaming is very easy to do though, especially with the ability to pause a YouTube TV subscription and get a trial version of other services. So if you're thinking of signing up for YouTube TV, I'd hold until this gets resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted December 18, 2021 #41047 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Just got back from downtown Dallas, saw Leann Rimes Christmas show and stayed at a brand new Hilton again. We had to go thru metal detector for the show, never needed to do that in past, bit stupid state of Texas now allows anyone to carry a gun so theater stops you from entering with the gun. My wife followed the tv show Real housewives of Dallas for several years and one of them was at the hotel then same concert. Couple of other shows were canceled due to Covid, my wife’s cousin is still in icu , don’t understand people not getting the Covid shots and booster. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
