Oldest wooden jail in North Alabama. Thousands of nails hammered into the walls to discourage people from sawing their way out. In the town of Houston in Winston county.

@Andrewnsnyder This is a much better way for Colbert to spend his time. For the sake of his soul and joy I hope he can ignore current events and immerse himself again in Middle Earth. I hope his efforts are worthwhile.

Stephen Colbert is writing a co-writing a script for a movie that covers Three is Company to Fog on the Barrow Downs, which were mostly skipped by Jackson.
I don’t know exactly how this will work, but, at the moment, I am much more interested in this than I am in Hunt for Gollum

@MillerDakotaJ I really love the histories. Favorites are Henry IV part 1 and 2 and Henry V. I also love the big ones: Hamlet, Macbeth, Merchant of Venice, Romeo and Juliet, etc

What is your favorite Shakespeare play and why?
Mine is by far Macbeth!

@mishapathy Carve out 1-4 hours a month and visit a nursing home. Elderly people will be happy to hold your hand and pat your arm while you ask them about their lives.

@Jason_Trice Sometime this last year on X I read what has become my favorite statement about death: “he has left the land of the dying and joined the land of the living.” May you and your family be blessed.

My heart is full.
Yesterday we celebrated my Dad.
He always said he wanted peace and contentment. I think he found it.
I’m sharing what I said at his service here.
I’m a lucky duck 🦆

@WonderWomaNinja My favorite song to belt out at maximum volume is Linda Ronstadt’s “Different Drum”. You’d do great with it.

I need ideas for songs. What’s a fave you think I could tackle? 🤔

I ordered the “flaming cheese shrimp fajitas” at our favorite Mexican place tonight. Was disappointed that it was not literally on fire. Still delicious though.

I have memories of my dad spending hours upon hours working on taxes. Pouring through depreciation schedules to figure out how to save money from old farm equipment. Our dining room table covered in piles of papers for weeks. It was a complicated mess.

@musings_blonde @Dirtdragonmom My wife’s mom and grandma loved ambrosia and made it every big holiday. They were from south Alabama.

@Dirtdragonmom I’ve never seen ambrosia salad in AL, only in the Midwest. Also, they spelled ambrosia wrong LOL

True Oregonians eat Tillamook Ice Cream. Salt and Straw is strictly for Portlanders.

I've had one of these, and it's very good. But I don't think you can call a portion "generous" if you're charging $30. At that price it's a little skimpy.

This is an infamous sandwich from Katz’s Delicatessen, lines out the door nearly every day, known for its generous portions and it sells for nearly $30.

@AppyOrtho If you are contrarian perhaps you could consider becoming Baptist? (joking, I’m a Baptist)

Funny, my Irish line from Donegal was part of the 4% of native Irish who converted to the Church of Ireland (1600s)
One of my Scottish lines was a teeny minority who refused to leave the Catholic church and become Presbyterians.
I think maybe my DNA is just contrarian 🤣

It's St. Patrick's Day, and that means time to look back at the Alabama Leprechaun. Said one wizened crone at the time, "It could be a crackhead got hold of the wrong stuff." Maybe so, but lo, brethren and sistren, we live in an enchanted world! 🤣🍀

@Strangeland_Elf I’m with you except for butter knives. Every one I’ve ever seen is right-handed. They oppress me and mock me and I won’t have them in my kitchen.

Do the anti-“unitasker” people not have cheese knives or bread knives or butter knives or cheese graters or can openers or tea pots or muffin tins or butter dishes or cookie cutters or pie weights or bread scorer or one of the various sorts of coffee making devices or a pizza cutter or
