Absolutely riveting watching the sinking of the #SSUnitedStates. The music is captivating. This should be a screensaver.

@campervanwoman “Knowing what I know about Wordle “ this is a BS word to use. I cannot stand it when I use an uncommon word as an answer & I get a response like I started this with response with.

Celebrity Jeopardy just had a clue that was about Israel and felt the need to add a disclaimer that the game was filmed before the terrorist attack.

Someone really felt like they were solving a major problem there. Probably bragged about the crisis they averted for a week

I love this tweet. #feedtheneed #donatefood

[Fara Kaufman @justfara]

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

We couldn't be prouder of the @USArmyOldGuard Soldiers who watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Winds reached 60-85 mph in the DC region. This sentinel leans into it and continues marching.

Honor.

So WRONG!!! @washingtonpost for giving breaking news alert of results of @Jeopardy before game over on East Coast & not aired in other time zones. I am cancelling my alerts.
