It's an odd coincidence that I also lost my dad in 1981. I was in my mid-twenties and still regret not knowing him better in my adulthood, as I moved away for school when I was 17 and stayed in that area until a few years after his death.

And I thought @Sue Thomas was our resident insect identifier! LOL

I'm horrible at extractions so I use Clipping Magic. It started as free, but now I pay $3.99/mo. for it. It's an online tool and it definitely lowers my stress level as this is all supposed to be fun. 😀

I'm sorry you're having tech problems, but I love the pic!

I seem to remember I had the same issue with one of the versions. Is PSP 2022 an upgrade for you? If so, look in your folders from your prior version. I think the gradients are kept in Corel_06 folders.

I went to college in upstate NY. One night my friends and I went to Lake Ontario (which I first thought was the ocean because I'd never seen a lake large enough to have waves; I was never good at geography lol). Anyway, the Northern Lights were active, and I thought I was having a flashback! 😁

B = Braxton-Hicks contractions

Are any of these what you're looking for? If you're looking for one about Judas, the first one might be it. Best Redbud Poems

I've never owned my own home, so I've been unable to have a garden. But if I did, I would fill it with native wildflowers. Not only are they beautiful, imho, but they are very beneficial to local wildlife. They're also low maintenance. This is what I would love to have.

I think Bonnie has fun EVERY day!😁

T = Talons 🤣

My daughter's daycare/nursery school also had a kindergarten. At the end of kindergarten, at which point they were leaving the school, there was a graduation ceremony. I remember they sang The Rainbow Connection from the Muppets. She sang it non-stop for weeks. 😁

Q = Quick Dry

I don't find this overly political. It was written in the 1960s and is simply an anti-war protest song. It applies to all wars, in my opinion.

One of my fav Sting songs, too.

O = Oval shape

L = Linen Wrap

My dentist has huge, finished puzzles hanging on the office walls. He does them on his ping pong table.

I love jigsaw puzzles. I also had a puzzle carrier; it was easy to roll it up to save for another day. Due to a lack of room when I moved, I started doing them online.

J = Jelly Sandwich (Thank you, Google.) A nail art in which glitter polish is sandwiched in between two layers of jelly polish.

G = Gel

E = Enamel

I checked out the link @Ann Seeber included in her comments. Then I googled. The NY Times and The Dodo are only two of the sites that wrote about it. I think "Creamsicle" is real.

I've got a package of their Extra dark chocolate truffles right now. Whatever's on sale!

I love all chocolate. White chocolate has always been a favorite, but I'll never say no to milk chocolate. Give me a chocolate truffle any time so I can savor that creamy ganache. Lately I've been leaning towards dark chocolate for its health benefits; sounds boring, but I'm not getting any younger.
