Special beads are kept. Everything else gets donated to ArcGNO for recycling and resale. Dropped off a large bag filled with beads, balls and footballs there last week.

My mother used to make Christmas ornaments from the “pearl” necklaces that were so prized at one time. Most were given as gifts, but I still have a few. They are really lovely.

Here is a link to the ArcGNO drop-off sites:

It sucks when brilliant people who contribute to the body of human knowledge get snuffed out by the dregs of society, due in large part to lax, liberal law enforcement.

Yup. Years ago, a researcher studying ways to control Formosan termites was gunned down in the FQ during a botched robbery. I wish vengeance upon the a-hole who killed him every year during swarm season.

They do a good job there. Plus, it’s well-organized, with the two drive-thru lines, the ability to order ahead, and the convenience of paying with either cash or card. The ladies offering a selection of desserts is a nice bonus, as well.
We do this every year. Looking forward to my combo plate from St. Christopher’s shortly. I enjoy trying plates from different parts of the city, depending on which neighborhood I’m in that day. (Thank you to the archdiocese for sorting the churches by parish this year, rather than just listing them alphabetically.) Some are definitely more seasoned than others, but all give the satisfaction of contributing to a charitable cause.

Some of the smaller organizations host their balls in other venues.
My mother is a huge fan of peanut butter cups. A couple of years back, I hooked her up with Trader Joe’s versions (milk, dark, and mini.) She switched over from Reese’s, and hasn’t looked back.
Munholland Methodist is distributing ashes at LaSalle Park until 1 pm. Here is a link with the suggested routes to drive in.

Seriously?
I’m going to out-trivia Errol. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a short story called “The May-Pole of Merry Mount,” in which Puritans stop the celebrations of a group of revelers described as a “crew of Comus.” I’ve wondered if the original krewe of Comus was influenced by that story when selecting their figurehead.
She just blew out a huge sigh. Definitely bored.

Underrated comment.

Ooops, there it is. Did you blink and miss it? One black man.

Am I wrong or were the girls a lot better looking than most recent years?

That appears to be the case. Perhaps the inbreeding is wearing off.
