If you’re searching for a wonderful pecan pie - or anything with pecans - head over to Potter’s Country Store in Store in Schulenburg Texas. It’s the perfect hostess gift (we’ll, assuming that you’re not bringing it into a household of folks allergic to nuts) and they ship right to your door.
@h8cloz @EileenKCarpenter Actually, corporations that participate in global supply chains will still have to meet international standards for environmental and safety programs and sustainability commitments.
@cassandra17lina When the safety professionals start bailing out, things will be fine, for a while, but after some time without anyone watching, things will start to go wrong. People will die, and it will take a long, long time to get things under control again, if we can.
This artwork is called “Stepping On Fresh Snow”. It was created 2021 by Japanese embroidery artist Narumi Takada
The snow is rendered so well you can practically feel its texture. It was created using a punch needle and cut loops. The footprints have been precisely rendered in straight stitch and satin stitch.
For me it is very personal:
The Other Time a Vaccine Saved America.
I was five. When my mom heard the news of a polio vaccine. She was crying, tears of joy and relief. People literally danced in the streets. For 6 years she had cared for my older sister who came down with polio the year before I was born. My sister was very sick, for a very long time, in and out of public health hospitals. She required a huge amount of physical therapy, and that burden fell hard on mom.
My heart goes out to all the folks in government who really did their jobs with honor and integrity. Having to hand their position over to incompetent sycophants dedicated to wrecking everything must be unbearable. #Politics

Do you know why you won't find a 'DO NOT SELL MY INFORMATION' option anywhere here on COSO?
Because that's our default state. And you can't opt out of it.
@Victor I lived in the Houston area for six years and a city council candidate actually ran on a platform of “better drainage.”
@Maude What does Jack Smith want? That’s where I’d begin the discussion.
As you consider your #MentalHealth please don’t overlook the impact of your falling serotonin levels due to the shorter daylight of autumn. November is when it really starts to deplete me, when the smallest concerns loom large and the slightest melancholy seems insurmountable. This annual biochemical mischief creeps up on us, often forgotten as a contributor to our feelings of apprehension in an already very scary world. Get out in the sun if you can, and redouble your #SelfCare efforts.
