Monday (okay, Friday) Stuff on the Way to Other Stuff: Taking A Little Time Off

      Yep, that's right. 

      We have some commitments coming up -- and I won't always be able to post. So I'll be incommunicado for at least a week, plus a day or two.

      Be good while I'm gone. Mama don't allow no rowdiness playing 'round here.




Meanwhile (just a few this time):

Want to save on milk? Dilute it, the Mavis way(Thanks for listening, One Hundred Dollars A Month!)

The ten best scammer conversations from 2025:



Frugal tips from TikTokers.  Some good -- some just plain weird. But inspiring, nonetheless.


An easy quilt pattern that uses up a LOT of scraps -- a classic from yours truly. 




Do you have this Pokemon card??



If so, it just sold for more than $16 MILLION DOLLARS.

Robert Duvall died - age 95. An amazing actor who did his work subtly -- and very, very effectively.


Chernobyl workers' children are showing some odd DNA mutations. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be disease-causing. But still, it makes you wonder. 

An easy way to make meatballs! 


And finally -- a song inspired by getting caught in Colorado (actually, the Boulder area) during a blizzard. Ridin' The Storm Out  by REO Speedwagon. (The Brick knew this song -- I did not.)


Take care -- talk to you soon.
