Grandfather Clock! That was a memorable segment on Captain Kangaroo in the late 1950s.
The clock was a part of the show's set and would often be featured in various skits and segments.
Captain Kangaroo, hosted by Bob Keeshan, was a beloved children's show that aired from 1955 to 1984.
It had a gentle, educational tone and introduced a whole generation to various characters like Mr. Green Jeans and Bunny Rabbit.

My daughter have a friend that comes from a very wealthy family. She always has huge toys, the kind that every kid wants... Every time that my baby comes back home she tells me about the toys and how much fun they had playing "house". She never asks for anything because she knows we can't really afford new stuff at the moment, and it breaks my heart even more. Yesterday, I was chatting with some crafters I met on the tedooo app in one of the groups there and happened to mention this story. One of the ladies there sent me this pic and told me she used to make all of her kids toys by herself. I'm so excited to create this for my daughter and wanted to share this here in case anyone else could use the idea. It's about the time we put in for them and with them, not about the money spent over toys.

This is John Eisenman. He lost his daughter to sexual trafficking. She was sold for $1,000 in Seattle Washington. He did what a father should do and researched, investigated and found out about her abduction. He RESCUED her HIMSELF. He found out the person who sold her into trafficking was her 19 year old boyfriend. He met up with him, abductd him, bludgeond and stabbed him to death in Nov, 2020. The authorities found him [dead AF boyfriend] in Oct 2021 in the trunk of the car he abandoned. John Eisenman sits in jail knowing his daughter is safe and growing up after he has already lived 60 years of his life. I bet you, he rests easy. Live your life to the fullst. Do your absolute best to make sure your children have the opportunty to do the same no matter what the sacrifice. I will be sending John some commissary money. I hope he gets to see freedom with his daughter one day. He deserves a medal 🏅

Who else does this when making meatloaf ?
It's a Mason jar. You put it in the middle of your pan then mold the meat loaf around it . Once the meatloaf is done you let it sit on the stove and the jar bubbles and sucks up literally all the grease like a science project... your finished you can just pour the jar of grease out and store your left overs without all the grease
if I have left overs I scoop out around it put leftovers in a bowl then turn it upside down and dump the jar
Easier to clean than you think .. just good Hot soapy water and rinse

I walked through a home, during a realtor open house, and thought the way these stairs were built didn't look quite right. These are basement stairs, and I thought they would be a little light weight if two people had to move a new water heater or furnace into the basement.

This is not the first home in the area where I have seen stairs constructed this way. The stringers are 1" wide x 10" high. There are outside stringers, with no center stringer and the support is what you see in the pic.

Opinions?
