dear budgetarian grocery-buyers,.
i am an artist though hardly a starving artist.
some of my patrons kindly feed me and i do have my well-stocked freezer.
I don't really skimp on food. I try to by the best quality I can afford. But I do stay away from pre-packaged and convenience foods that cost more.
For example, my family loves hummus. I buy the dried chickpeas . I soak overnight, then boil them with a little baking soda. Two cups of chickpeas, some tahiti, garlic and lemon juice goes a long way for a little money.
I also make lots of stir fries that require little meat and lots of vegetables.
the royal commission has published 35 submissions received from a range of organisations and individuals in response to its consultation paper: best practice principles in responding to complaints of child sexual abuse in institutional contexts.
the commission received submissions from sector peak bodies, government agencies, survivor advocacy and support groups, religious institutions and other interested parties.
the consultation paper, which was released in march this year, sought input into which matters should be canvassed in a complaint handling policy and how those matters might be addressed, as well as the royal commission’s suggested best practice principles.
Nice info !!
i found this little jem this morning .
it's a little dated but describes the self-proclaimed jesus of nazareth by the name of a.j miller.
he was raised in the jw religion and was also an elder and pioneer.

this father contacted us a few months ago about his experience with the watchtower's blood policy, and how his daughter nearly died as a result of it.
hopefully, other jw parents can learn from this before the wt policy claims the life of their child.
the wts has very few meaningful interventions or "non blood alternatives" for anemia.
Thank you Lee, for sharing this article and thank you to this courageous father.

I hate this organization more and more each day.
these are of early '70s vintage, i recall.
my job was to sort through thousands of these and be sure they were not "off register.".

I remember those calendars. Shows my age a little
i would say the one that barks the most: Tony
