If you're headed in the wrong direction, u-turns are allowed

For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness.

Kindness: a language the deaf can hear, the blind can see, and the mute can speak.

When you see someone without a smile, give him one of yours.

I do not think happiness is too hard to find -- it is how you treat it once you get hold of it that counts.

What holds you together is far greater than what can tear you apart.

I noticed an old recipe here for making Applebutter. However, it did not say how long to cook it. Can anyone offer me some ideas as to how I can tell when it is finished. Does it get thicker after it cools off, etc.

Thanks

Infant Succumbs

By Linda Clark

Back in the good old days of my youth, freezers were a new thing and very few people could afford them, so we used Hot Water Bath Canning instead. So this month, I will tell you how Hot Water Bath Canning was and is still done.

It is the oldest way to can food in jars to preserve it. Not just vegetables and fruit were done but meat was also done the same way.

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs," therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression: "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg."

One interesting side note that I have read in the past is that when radio first came on the scene people did not just take up immediately with the idea of radio listening each evening.

What is the WWII "Lame Duck Award"?

Is that something to do with the Honorable Discharge Award?

Marion,

The honorable discharge is a "ruptured" duck if I'm not mistaken.
