Good morning!!!!

Soup creeps.
I always have the intent of making a small pot but end up with an industrial size vat.
Sometimes I get tired of it but when it's done I miss it.
Soup does get better as it ages and the flavors meld.

Starting in this next couple weeks will be the pot of “Eternal Soup”, which will sit on the stove until sometime in March… every time some gets served, it gets brought back to a rolling boil for five minutes as more water and veggies are added, then turned off until next serving, where it is brought to a rolling boil for 5 minutes… lather/rinse/repeat. Primarily cabbage, onions, and mushrooms. Sometimes carrots and celery get added too. Garlic every time. Good winter peasant fare.

Kilroy the word are or is needs to be inserted so the plural or singular form is determined. Not a 's.

Y'all is used with 's because it denotes possession not plural form of y'all. you would say "You are all crazy". (Y'all are are crazy)
Or "You all are crazy for listening to him". (Y'all are crazy for listening to him).

But you could say "y'all's boat is ugly"

Y'alls is not a word because Y'all is singular and plural. The only time it is used with an "s" is when it is possessive and then only with an apostrophe "s" - Y'all's = possession.

In my contractions, that is an “is” - not a possessive. Typed as it sounds.

Did you know that there are over 150 different dialects in the English language spoken throughout the world? In the United States, there are about 30 major English dialects, and with it, countless ways to pronounce words for the same meaning.
I thought ya'll all might want to know that

(Y’all know I am just stirrin‘ the pot with some good-natured $#1+posting… )

maybe by y’all it is plural…

but if I walk into my barber shop and say to the crazy dude “Y’all‘s CRAZY!!!”, everybody else knows I am talking about that one individual.

It's a delicate balance and like some other languages a lot depends on tone, inflection, context and who you are talking to.

Drew, did you forget the bay leaf?

yes
but threw in a bunch of other spices
time to tupperware the extras, been letting it all cool off, that takes a while

finished unloading rv, did three loads of laundry, put that all away, and I'm done.
put out one set of solar xmas lights, need to go check on them. The rest all are lit and Santa is lit.
But I will get more lights tomorrow. I really like the solar ones you can put out in fun places

I have never winterized the pump in my camper... Maybe I'll have to pull the manual and see what it says, don't recall that being on the list the dealer gave me.

just pumped the pink stuff through
makes sense there's some water sitting in it, one of those chambers

Don't like bay leaf. I swear it was a smart way for some guy in the past to clear his lawn and make a couple bucks doing it. Bay Leaf

I admit I usually wind up biting down into the hard leaf when someone failed to get it out of there, including myself.
I have a lot of other spice blends I use

On the one hand, it will liberate a lot of equity, and we will be able to pay off any and all mortgages that we have and have a good whack of cash left over to maybe invest. But on the other hand, 23 acres!

You can always buy land, you cannot always get a sale price you want.

Take the money.

Mostly the heated vest is from Ororo and love it. Have two batteries and a battery usually last a full day

There are a lot of options out there it looks like for heated clothing. Even when we had the "snowmagaddon" a few years ago I never wished I had a heated jacket though.

Gloves and socks are a different story. My fingers and toes would probably appreciate it.

Of course! I'm trying to toss you some good straight lines.
