An apple a day keeps the doctor away. But not if it tastes like coffee grinds in a leather glove. And it was not too long ago that Cosmic Crisps were unaffordable. Oh how the mighty (supposedly) have fallen.

Other rankings aside, if I need a green apple for baking, I'm going with a Granny Smith. And nothing bad about candy coating a McIntosh.

Happy Friday Miss C!

High up microwaves make me nervous, I prefer spilling hot stuff at least below the chin.
But I don’t understand the people wailing about the TV too high. It depends largely on the seating. Highback couch, a recliner, or anything with head support it’s better high than low. Oh, and in the bedroom the higher the better... the TV gutter-mind.
