Libraries still exist and you can even download digital for a few weeks.... They even take them back automatically. If you like older books they are often out of copyright and are download-able for free. Google is your friend!

Chicken soup with rice
Start brown rice cooking(takes about 55 minutes at my altitude.)
Add onion and seasonings, chop celery(one or two stalks) then add
Leftover chicken or chop raw chicken to bite size or simmer chicken pieces and de-bone.
After every thing is simmering I take 1/2 cup portions of frozen peas and nuke one minute to defrost, then add to each bowl. I hate how peas get soft especially in leftovers so that is my solution.

Knorr on 1914: "I don't know." - Mouthy Alert!
by compound complex indear mouthy and other denounced ones,.
you may find this double standard $%^@#@*&!
"in 1975, knorr made a remarkable and candid statement to the governing body, which confirmed his growing disillusionment until his death two years later: ["]'"there are some things i know --- i know that jehovah is god, that christ jesus is his son, that he gave his life as a ransom for us, that there is a resurrection.

SLEEP
by compound complex insleep shall come, perhaps not today,but soon, an eternal, blessed slumber.
that bids farewell to suffering that eventrue love, in no measure, can assuage.. why such anguish, borne upon once broadshoulders that now do sag, no longer able.
to withstand the weight of both our worlds?come, o sleep, on velvet wings of night..

I remember, thought that it could well happen. I was 22, and knew I was not going to survive... So went a little wild. I wasn't baptized and decided to find out what worldly meant. I was already "out". Living away from family and traveled (not to assemblies) to Europe. I loved freedom. Never looked back. What a surprise when nobody died in 1975.

Queued for Processing ....
by cofty inif a new topic hangs for ages with spinning icon at "queued for processing " should you give up and post a new copy of the thread or will the eventually result in two threads?.
if it has cleared the first tick "uploading post" can you safely click away from the page?.
servers seem a bit slow recently?.

I think we used to be able to see our limits for the day. Do we still have that option or did it go away when the changeover went into effect? If so how do we find it?
