Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Back, and Busy

     Where did all that casual living go to? I guess it stayed on the Baja Peninsula
We're back now, and taking care of several different commitments, all at the same time...but at least we're taking care of them. 

So far, all the balls are still in the air. Which is good. 




Ten sunken cities. And no, they're not Atlantis. (From Listverse)

You don't have to always be frugalI Pick Up Pennies makes a good case for her argument, too. (Although she could save a bit more on food costs...)

Learning more about Chinese textiles -- a free March 21 talk and gallery walk in Boston, MA, sponsored by Skinner Auctions.

Representative Omar protests that she never made disparaging comments about former president Obama -- but the interview clip she posts to 'prove' it only confirms what she said. ?!?! (She later deleted the tweet. Hey, that solved everything. Right.)

Interview with an art conservator.  (From Appraiser Workshops). But first you need to read the original interview in The Federalist, which is not only more detailed -- but shows you the painting they're working on. (Hmmm, watercolors and/or acrylics to restore an old oils painting...hmmm.)

A quarter-million in debt -- paid off in less than five years. How they did it...

An alert waitress catches a child abuser. Good for her.

Some Very Bad Puns from Donna Freedman's partner. We're big fans of bad puns, too. (Thanks, Surviving and Thriving)

Hate crimes by Trump supporters -- 23 of them. Only they weren't. Ironically, all were done by the 'victims' (who made it up), by people who should have known better because they complained of biogotry themselves (but hey, they're troubled, after all), or by those who were 'outraged' by the 'perpetrators.' Shades of Jussie Smollett...who, now that he's been indicted for 16 counts, is in big trouble. (I'll bet his lawyers work out some sort of plea agreement.) 

Have a good week.
