I’ve read all that’s currently in the Comments section and thank you for all the work folks have done to get things where they are now.

Good Night All, and see what changes appear tomorrow.

OK I give up but I sure did have a purdy picture of a Pear Salad a couple of times but I’ll not waste the space.

It’s the tiny star on the lower right,it shows up when you pass the mouse over it,..I think, I have used it twice.

Dr phil Good, I used the paper clip and highlighted “Pear Salad” and pasted the URL into the box. Just like I used to but the picture showed up in the middle of the page. Maybe Squawk is still working out the bugs?

How about that? I found the “Edit Button” and got rid of the Pear Salad picture.

Uh oh! My attempt to link a picture caused it to show up on the page, at least on my computer.And I don’t see an edit button.Sorry about that.

FWIW; The Chicken, sausage, shrimp, scallops Gumbo with okra and celery was a big hit with wife and sister. Served over rice with Texas Toast. Sister brought over old fashioned Pear Salad with cheddar cheese and it was a nice “take you back” treat.

Think of the last comment first as the inverse of what we had before when the comment block was at the bottom. I cannot move the post comment block

I just put these things together, I do not try to guess the whys or wherefores one should or should not direct reply to anyone.

Does the vote up or down feature mean I can diss Squawk everyday ?

I notice that the comments now have the date and time, but from newest to oldest. I can live with that, but it seems unnatural.

New comments will be at the top. You will thank me for this when there are several comments. The comment box will always be at the top. I cannot change that.

TEDTAM you can now do Coffee and covid and no should be upset. Long comments will now be “READ MORE” after 40 words.

Hey TedTam, I don’t know if you’ve ever run across this lady’s blog or not – but she has some interesting stuff – recipes and how to’s – kind of a younger version of RoseRed… It’s called “Acre Homestead” on you-tube or the blog is https://www.scratchpantry.com/

EVERYONE please read please………. This commenting system has a lot of good stuff in it. I will let y’all discover and learn together. I am working to provide threaded comments. That way if I wanna argue with Texpat I will be able to answer directly to his comment. This will lend itself to immediacy, not requiring numbers or time stamp… Read more »

Hello again, Hamsters. We came back from a late breakfast / early lunch at a restaurant that has a delightful menu on Sundays convenient for folks on the way home from church services. I brought part of it home–as usual–since the portions are not skimpy. And who should happen be outside the restaurant’s front door but another Girl Scout group… Read more »

My stupid dog, Sarah, decided to dig up the new fiberoptic cable in my backyard. No internet, no TV till tomorrow.
Any cable buried in a yard with dogs really needs to be 6″ deep, not 2″ or less. Buried means the hole is closed, not an open slit.

Edited: I don’t know how to do punctuation via talk to text.
