@SummrWrites I'm sure it happens that pursuit of marriage itself becomes an idol, but think it's more that there's a related sin danger zone for the perpetually-single-but-would-rather-be-married e.g., to be unthankful, become angry for unanswered prayer, and to excuse inaction as "waiting."

@CrimeWatchMpls Police had block taped off just after 9am.

Lady on the sidewalk on my walk back from the office compliments my Kate Spade leather laptop bag. I thank her. And, keeping with the Midwest custom, I tell her I got it used with a great deal on Poshmark. :)

Making the apple pie was on-purpose. Having it turn out so picturesque was a happy accident.

Yes, it was delicious (and mostly eaten by my church young adults group!)

@jakozloski Political views today are a often either directly, or proxies for, moral values. I won't consider a guy who doesn't share my (Christian, conservative) values. I'm surprised the numbers aren't higher.

@SakakiIsCute @allie__voss I don't think so. Why do you ask?

@allie__voss My reaction too! But, she honestly had never seen it done (her mom had always just taken care of it) and did not know how!

@braves2430 Hash with either diced sweet or russet potatoes and onions, or beef & broccoli.

That said, I am glad that a $7 homemade lunch isn't too much of a strain for me right now- a few years ago, my food budget was $25/week. That's much tougher today than in 2019.

[Elizabeth Nielsen @eannielsen]

Price estimates here are not as exacting, but for about $7 or less (half the price of one bowl at Chipotle), I've got a highly nutritious, high-protein lunch
-340g (12oz 88% ground beef),
-1 cup black beans (cooked from dry),
-Sour cream
-Salsa,
-Spices
-Time

@Gebo___ My favorite is when it rains hard enough that they roll out trash cans to catch the drips.

It's still pretty pleasant on a sunny day.

@doody_gram It's a modern tragedy!

[Elizabeth Nielsen @eannielsen]

It's so sad to me to see a home with original and unique features from the early 1900s go off the market, only to see it pop back up a few months later asking 150k more, but uglified with grey paint and grey lvp flooring, & no practical updates to kitchen layouts, or adding a/c.

@CrenshawPhD Setting people up is much appreciated in my view- of course it might not work out-but it's especially welcome when both singles can walk away complimented that you'd try to set them up with someone great.
