AWW, what a nice mommy! Mamma would no more have condoned those "artificial potatoes" (yes, really) than she would have allowed Hungry Guy Potato Flakes (nor any other brand, tbf) in her house. ~SIGH~My parents were all-organic, all the time. Booooorring! (ETA: We WERE allowed pancake mix sometimes. And Jello., OY. IDK WTF it was about Mennonite housewives and Jello -- but they LOVED that stuff! )

My mother always fed us healthy meals, but she worked full time as a nurse on the night shift and slept while we were at school, so any product we loved that saved a bit of time or effort was welcome. She did a lot of cooking in a pressure cooker., which saves hours of time.

Jello was HUGE in the 60's when I was a kid. There was also a product called Jello 1-2-3 which separated into 3 layers, and we LOVED that.

Lol Oh yeah, I loved the Jello-i-2-3 myself. My mother was a committed raiser of enormous gardens and berry patches and a biggish orchard , plus a Concord grape arbor that stretched for most of an acre. She was a great appreciater of pressure-cookers as well -- we canned and froze enough food to feed an infantry division -- way more than we needed, but "It's a sin to waste food!!", doncha know. :)

They literally have not had a platform since 2015.

I remember being told I had to clean my plate because "Think of all the starving children in East Asia!" One day my brother pushed his plate of liver and onions away and said "Then you can send them this." He never did that again! That was one dish my mother did not cook well, but she cooked it the way my father liked it, which is to say fried to the texture of shoe leather.

I refused to eat it, and I got away with that, because I was the Baby and also my will was stronger than my mother's. Then 15 years later when I was living in Spain I discovered that you can actually cook liver in ways that are very tasty. What a shock!

Kos, I know, but:

Two days after posting it, CBS News deleted a tweet promoting its now-discredited documentary, Arming Ukraine, The Aug. 5 post claimed that “much of the billions of dollars of military aid that the U.S. is sending to Ukraine doesn’t make it to the front lines.”The CBS Reports documentary did not interview a single U.S. or Ukrainian official, and those who were interviewed did not have first-hand knowledge about weapons shipments, nor did any of them cite an actual case of corruption or black market sales of weapons.

You'd think the network that once employed Bernard Goldberg and Lara Logan would experience a learning curve. Evidently, they do, just not in the right direction: they now employ Catherine Herridge, and run anti-Ukraine propaganda without fact-checking first.

As far as I know, law enforcement is under no obligation to contact your lawyer prior to serving a warrant.
