Did Biden finally wean himself from the Chinese money or is this simply feel good blather?

Thought this was another braless thread

I found this on the web. Very plausible, given the transportation at the time. Cranberries were too delicate to transport long distances and were consumed mostly in New England. But in 1912, Marcus Urann, head of the United Cape Cod Cranberry Company, started packaging and selling canned cranberry sauce under the name Ocean Spray Preserving Company. Now cranberries could enjoy a longer shelf life and become fixtures on the Thanksgiving table far away from cranberry bogs. I didn’t guess this originally because they’re actually are quite sturdy. But that’s now, in a world with rubber tires on paved roads.

@LuFins-Dad Is that the new fireplace, wall, and doors I see? Sorry, I recall you talking about renovation a while ago and various options, french doors, etc. Did I miss a before/after pic? Oh, arrogantly, no I finished christmas wrapping/prep a few days early. I learned my lesson once of putting something together at 2am the night before...never again. My kids had a great Christmas and my tired back looks forward to picking up even more toys.

Excellent post, Jolly. Thank you!

Never wave a red flag in front of a bull. Or a mission field in front of a Baptist.

Even in the Jan 6 rep0rt, they called the FBI the "Federal Bureau of Intelligence" or something like that. :woman-shrugging:

I read something that Prince Charles is paying for the security for Andrew, so I guess that taxpayers are still paying it in a round way.

@Mik said in Knives Out: Glass Onion: Liked it better than the first. Really? I didn't find it as charming and humorous as the first. Norton was fun, but the other characters were boring and undeveloped. The governor? Why was it important to have that character be a governor. Added nothing to the plot and was a distraction.

I don’t care about any of that, but if you aren’t smart enough to understand the importance of supporting Ukraine you have no business in Congress.
