To Kill a Mockingbird is my all time favorite book. It's just about everyone's favorite book. I'm going to get "How to be a Woman." It sounds very interesting.

Interesting how associations work. I saw title with a word Mississippi and at the very moment thought about Mark Twain. And you mentioned Mark Twain as a man who's stories are greatly connected with the river... I also remember a trick question from old show. How many letters S are in the longest river in the world?
I hope I'll have a chance to see Mississippi one day...
Cheers!

Here in Memphis, you can walk on a model of the Mississippi River at Mud Island. There is also a museum devoted to the river. The muddy Mississip (as we call it here) evokes thoughts of "home" to me!

This Yonanas device looks like a great way to make sweet cold treats! I like bananas, and have made banana-strawberry-berry smoothies before, so I think I'd like the taste of the ice cream like treat.

Thanks. I agree, Rapunzel, with all her history is real treasure...

My female cat, Molly, bit me a week and a half ago. I had to go in the hosp for 2 days for antibiotic I.V.s Then it stayed swelled up and the area became hard. I know it has to be drained, but I don't have anyone to drain it. That hosp is 11 miles away, adn I don't know the doctors there. My doctor is out of the country for 3 weeks.

A very interesting article. It's one of my favorite fairy tales.

I was only talking about the Mississippi River last night! Someone was asking me about the death penalty (I'm your Go-To-Person for all kinds of unsavory facts and figures unfortunately...). A doctor on a boat there witnessed a man killed outright by staggering drunk into an electrical generator. The doctor then got the idea for the electric chair, as a 'humane' way of execution.

On a slightly less gruesome note, the Mississippi turned up in a skipping song when I was a kid. We used to sing:

'Mrs M, Mrs I, Mrs SSI, Mrs P, Mrs P, Mrs I'

I have no idea why. For a start, it doesn't actually spell it correctly; and secondly, this was a BRITISH school!

I haven't thought on that in years. "Ol' Man River, he must know something..."

Sounds like a great idea. Thanks Earl!

Castor oil can help immensely in getting rid of corns. Before sleeping try dipping the tips of a cotton bud in castor oil and apply it o the surface of the of the corn or callus and bandage it with adhesive tape. If you don't want to stain your sheets, wear socks.

If I'm honest, it's surprised me too, especially how people talk about hanging?

I'm surprised at the outcome of the vote. Gruesome article but necessary and well written , thanks

Thank you both for the comments! Tart warmers are great for the home. I read an article once about how much safer it is not breathing in the smoke from real candles. It helps that tarts last a long time and small nice, too. :-)

You should really find some time to visit Sarajevo. It is quite close to you. I do travel to Ljubljana often, and I love it!

I love 3D printers. As child I got one little toy car as present, that was printed with 3D printer. I still have it with me.
Great article on subject. And that America print looks awesome!
