How many of you have experience with the cub scouts? When the kiddo turns 5 it will be an option. What kind of temperament and maturity level is needed? What do they do as a cub? Negatives/positives? Im scared to death of the what ifs. Anything you know will be saved for later.
P.s. Happy National Pie Day(oh yum…)

My NOLA weekender who has the property diagonally across from me has Scouts up camping quite a bit, up here last weekend as a matter of fact. All the Scouts are mannered and polite. My old Army CO is a longtime Scoutmaster.
Very few 5 year old’s set in his ways yet, Cub Scouts will socialize them…or not…going in and trying it’s how you find out if it’s for them. I had one who lasted a few years in Cubs then stopped, others showed zero interests.
Scouting teaches them a number of things, most importantly to me (I’m prejudiced) is how to work in and as a group. There are rolls for parents/grandparents too, it ain’t just a kid thing, you get to participate and work with them as they learn and grow. Another big plus for me is that Leftists and Progs hate Scouting, it builds citizens.

My son was in the Cub Scouts and he loved it. It became especially important because we started homeschooling at that time, too. The mothers were very involved and the activities were fun and had meaning. Back then, there were no girls and when they went camping, my husband went with him. He was six when he started and was pretty mature for his age.

cub scouts today, like the boy scout organization…is vastly different from how it was in the 1950s and 1960s when they were peak training for young American boys using mature adults to lead and teach values and behaviors and spiritual honesty and a belief in God.
boy scouts was about physical, moral, and skill teaching and mastery with older male leaders.
cub scouts were created as a precursor, but as a different venue for very young boys…but still relied on uniforms and pride and behavioral memes.
cub scouts was run by a den mother and maybe an assistant….a mother….and they used crafts and games to burn off energy and direct group behavior norms in prep for the boy scout world run my grown males. The den had a boy scout that came to meetings and provided a role model and discipline operation so that the den mother was not merely a substitute for the cub’s own parent…but showed how an older boy with principles and leadership skills could provide a goal and attainable future for the boys….and he took the boys outside for more physical games while the den mother got stuff ready for crafts or snacks. parents were very aware of the events, but did not attend meetings and hover over their kids, but the den mother might give the parents a heads up if a kid was having socialization issues….scouting provided rewards to achievements in the form of badges and patches to be worn on the uniform and to demonstrate personal achievement rather than team or group successes like the little soccer trophy deal today.
scouts have been taken over by liberalism and sadly much destroyed from the valuable mission they provided….it started mostly with the anti war late 60s and 70s and anyone in a uniform that marched and saluted a flag or took orders were held in contempt, so those hippy dippies turned into progressive “parents” and the civil rights courts stole the ability of adults to teach and train young people to grow up responsibly and to be of service to others and to respect God and Government.
I suggest the key is the den itself, the ideology and methods of the den mother, and whether or not a boy scout troop has any participation in the den .
I do not have a lot of confidence that today’s scouting will generate the value for which the program was so famous when brought to the USA from England.
I have done all aspects of scouting from being a cub, a boy scout, an explorer scout, taken jamboree trips and outdoor extended trecks…and been an adult leader as well, as was my own father.

Ty for the insight. I will be checking the different dens around here and see what they are like with it in mind.

I can guarantee you that the enforced top-end-loaded ‘correct and forward thinking’ is dependent upon the den’s location and guidance. The Scout group my weekender neighbor has and the LDS Church sponsored one my old Army Colonel’s involved with aren’t doing May Pole dances to honor Gaia and where they have a need to respect corporate dogma they all know which bathroom to use…OK, the ones across the street use a tree on the farm BUT…
Morals should be taught at home and church, the Scouts supplemented that at one time more than they do now but that’s such a small part of their entire package it’s easily dealt with. Overall it’s a good program.

I am not thoroughly familiar with the Boy Scouts today, and what is going on, but from what I actually know is going on with Girl Scouts, I intend to throw the mother of all bitch fits if my kids try to sign up the granddaughters. Probably won’t change their mind, but our parish is starting up a troop that is a member of one of the alternative groups that have popped up since the GS started to support abortiona and the trans agenda.
I do not want them exposed to the adults who support such ideas, either through passivity, or actual teachings. It is insidious.

I copied this from one of my old holiday recipe posts over on the Treehouse. It’s the recipe I use, although I lost the old cookbook once and had to hunt online. I made one with bourbon, and it was very good too. And yes, I know the real recipe is trademarked. I always get someone telling me I’m a lawbreaker. I figure if they let Hillary walk I ought to be safe.
Derby Pie
1 C sugar
1/2 C flour
1 TBS vanilla
1 stick butter melted
2 eggs beaten
1/2 package chocolate chips
1/2 cup pecans
9″ pie crust
put choc. chips in bottom of crust. Mix butter, flour, sugar, eggs, vanilla and stir well. Add nuts. Pour into crust and bake at 325 for 50 minutes.
This pie is not good served warm, and it takes a long time to cool. It is much better cooked a day ahead. I like to take mine out just a few minutes early. That way it has a crusty top and slightly gooey caramel like center over chocolate. If you cook it the full 50 minutes, it tastes like a giant chocolate chip cookie. Another thing to note on this recipe is that oven temp is very important. This recipe worked exactly perfect in my old oven, cooked the pies too done in my new one. You might want to do a trial run. If the pie is not done after cooling for an hour or two, it won’t hurt it to cook a little longer. It is worth figuring out the timing!
I love to serve it with real whipped cream. My guys like vanilla ice cream on it, and it’s really good just plain too. Excellent served with forest hot coffee.

I don’t have pictures of the tart I made, but here is the recipe. It looks kind of blah without something to dress it up, but it’s yummy:
Carrot Almond Tart
This carrot tart uses an almond cream (crème frangipane), and combines it with orange juice and grated carrots. It is subtle in taste. A weekend project, too, if the crust is homemade (recommended).
Ingredients
1 pie crust
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cups almond flour
1/4 cups flour
1/2 cups heavy cream
2 cups shredded carrots
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
zest and juice of 1 orange
powdered sugar for garnish
Directions
1. Spread your crust on a lightly floured work area; roll out into a circle butter the pie pan (10” tart pan or a deep-dish pie pan) and flour it and place the crust on it. Press lightly on crust in the middle and sides. Prick crust with fork cover with wrap and keep in fridge 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Make almond cream: In an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, almond flour, and flour; beat until smooth. Add the whipping cream, grated carrots, cinnamon, orange juice and zest, mix gently and pour into the crust. Smooth cream with a spoon.
4. Bake for 45 minutes; the crust should be deep golden and the almond cream puffed up. Cool, unmold and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Stella, your photo for today is lovely. Found out some things not known before when I googled it…in Czech, the city is called Praha, not Prague as we know it. And it’s not the Czech Republic anymore, but Czechia.
Here are some more photos of the city….
http://www.reisdit.no/05/praha/
“At the close of World War I, the Czechs and Slovaks of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire merged to form Czechoslovakia. During the interwar years, having rejected a federal system, the new country’s predominantly Czech leaders were frequently preoccupied with meeting the increasingly strident demands of other ethnic minorities within the republic, most notably the Slovaks, the Sudeten Germans, and the Ruthenians (Ukrainians). On the eve of World War II, Nazi Germany occupied the territory that today comprises Czechia, and Slovakia became an independent state allied with Germany. After the war, a reunited but truncated Czechoslovakia (less Ruthenia) fell within the Soviet sphere of influence. In 1968, an invasion by Warsaw Pact troops ended the efforts of the country’s leaders to liberalize communist rule and create “socialism with a human face,” ushering in a period of repression known as “normalization.” The peaceful “Velvet Revolution” swept the Communist Party from power at the end of 1989 and inaugurated a return to democratic rule and a market economy. On 1 January 1993, the country underwent a nonviolent “velvet divorce” into its two national components, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Czech Republic joined NATO in 1999 and the European Union in 2004. The country changed its short-form name to Czechia in 2016.”

I was in Western Europe during that summer, traveling by Europass with my brother. I’m sure my parents were concerned about their two teenagers in what appeared to be an unstable place, since they had lived through WWII. Their only contact with us was postcards we sent. Fortunately they had instilled a huge fear of getting into trouble into me during my early years, & it never occurred to me to go anywhere near that. I recall a young woman we met who was from there, talking about going back to help; seemed like she was recruiting other teenagers.

‘Willing suspension of disbelief’…they film where they get the best deal. New Orleans/Louisiana gives the industry mucho tax breaks it isn’t unusual for us to see places we recognize in NOLA portrayed as someplace else. Ditto when it’s easier to film someplace else in the state and say it’s NOLA. We had a theater just outside of NOLA in a bedroom community that served mixed drinks – made the willing suspension a lot easier.

Well, it looks like it’s, yet again, time to find another browser. It looks like Brave is broken.
I cannot go full-screen on YouTube videos AT YouTube, but I can on embedded videos at sites like this. The full-screen button at the bottom-right does absolutely nothing when I click it. I discovered this the other day.
This morning, right here, I discovered that right-clicking a link and selecting “Open link in new tab” does absolutely nothing now, too. This is a brand new development. Nope, no new tab for you. I can click the link, and it will take me there (and away from here), but not a new tab.
Why can’t we have things that work?
This browser was perfect for the last year or so — why did they have to send it to the Suck Department and have them make it suck?
Oh, because that’s the new paradigm in all companies, now. Even Brave. Sad!
“We have a perfect product! Hmm…, that’s bad. How can we make it suck somehow? Send it to the Suck Department and have them disable something, so we can keep people employed making the new version with those things fixed, and other Suck added in their place.”

Take Mr. Coffee. The only container in the last 6,000 years that dribbles down the side of the pot when you pour it, every single time. Best pour your cup over the sink. How and why is this possible? Are Mr. Coffee in cahoots with the paper towel industry? Who designed their coffee pot with that little lip that looks to any normal person like it’s designed for pouring? Why do they still have a job? Was that little lip designed by the Suck Department at Mr. Coffee so that they could then up-sell their more expensive version?
I don’t know. But, line up 25 random containers of coffee on a long table with a white linen tablecloth, and the biggest, and probably ONLY stain, will be under the Mr. Coffee pot. Not the milk jug, not the coffee can, not the glass or the beer bottle or the milk carton.

ROFL…. Mr. Coffee is also the only brand of coffee pot that I have ever owned that started itself on fire. I used to set the timer on my coffee pots so there was a delightfully hot, dribbling pot of coffee waiting for me at the end of my work day.
After the fact knowledge, one evening the timer malfunctioned. I came home to a whole lot of smoke, a coffee machine that had been “flash” melted and the paper towel that had been sitting next to Mr. Coffee, in anticipation of that night’s dribble, had gone up in flames.
I’m not a big fan of the brand myself. :0)

A pioneer in the industry, Dykstra maybe, said that a test programs and procedures are adequate to demonstrate the presence of bugs, but woefully inadequate to demonstrate their absence.

Mornin’ all! Pretty big earthquake here last night, 7.9. Happened about 12:30 am, centered in the Gulf of Alaska, 181 miles southeast of Kodiak, and 6 miles deep. I’m guessing that’s about 300 miles from me. I was sound asleep and it woke me up but didn’t seem particularly fearsome. Tsunami warning sirens went off in Homer and Seward, and people evacuated to higher ground. That’s not an issue so much for us on the west side of the Kenai Peninsula, as we’re on a 100-foot bluff above Cook Inlet. Tsunami warning was cancelled about 4 am. Have not heard yet of any damages.

Fast forward to my retail management career. I found out he was right, and I stand by my attitude.

Awards this year will finally be more representative of the historically overlooked members of the arts.
