My comfort food of a lifetime is a bit unusual
Potato chips and French onion dip still float my boat Three years ago I wrote a story on Vocal about my "love affair" with French Onion Dip and now this will serve me in discussing my all-time favorite go-to comfort food. Ruffles potato chips and French onion dip are not a healthy food combo but strangely they work for me and actually relax me and lower my blood pressure which seems illogical.

Vocal Facebook groups discriminate just like the others
Vocal groups may not publish your article This morning I was going to post and noticed that I had 2 posts pending on one of the Vocal media Facebook groups I joined. I admit I do not socialize and read as many articles by others as I would like to. I don't know if that has something to do with it or not but group creators holding people hostage is not something I agree with.

A look at some of the most haunted locations in America
People differ on how to handle the supernatural I grew up in a home and community where everyone went to the same Baptist Church. We were taught the power in the Name of Jesus and to tell evil spirits to go in His Name and not tolerate them. Others have differnt views on the supernatural and some embrace it and even search for it. I had a pastor once who said that he would not co-exist in a house with evil and would tell it to leave.

Vegan potato salad is an ideal comfort food
The distress of a lonely widow Last November 2022, I attended the local annual Grandin Road Children's Parade in Roanoke, Virginia, and had never felt so alone. The love of my life for 45 years and my spouse of 40 passed away on March 7, 2021, and I felt naked without him. Driving alone, parking the car, and walking to the parade by myself was depressing. In addition to missing him, I was receiving indifference instead of condolence from other women.
