It is a legit emergency here. We just don’t have resources for this!Bob cruise director wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 9:10 pmI just got a notice that Red River Paper in Dallas is closed tomorrow - you guys in that area stay safe
However, the way people hoard milk and bread...We have wine!
Today is my birthday. Long story but we and then my son and fiancée had power issues over the last week. My greatest gift today is that we are all warm and sheltered!

The one above Duke’s? That means you’re just down the beach from my happy place (MaiTai bar at RH).

That is the one. They have a surf and turf special for Valentine's Day.
Had Lunch at the Mai Tai yesterday. It's in the rotation, along with the other Mai Tai's in the mall, where we went today.

Have eaten many times at Hula Grill, which is a solid backup to good-luck-getting-a-table Duke’s.

No need to say more. Except, perhaps, about the history of you and your husband's relationship/rom-com BEFORE you got married.Susan Goldberg wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 10:25 pm And so, as my husband and I sat down for our Valentine’s evening and went to pick a movie...well...need I say more?
My fiancée and I watched this last year at a slightly different time of year, for reasons I can't explain until after the midnight deadline for puzzle answers.

Ashore. Oops, should have posted earlier to make sure I am part of the record breaking shore crowd.

I saw that it was movie-related and didn't see it right away so decided not to give it a second glance. Then at about 10 pm on Sunday decided to look through the posts and saw that almost everyone felt it was so simple. Well, miracle of miracles, something popped out at me...and, believe it or not, I have actually heard of this movie (although I did double check with Mr. G to make sure I had the title correct), so the answer was obvious and confirmed with the confirmation in the the puzzle.

*Where* Harry met Sally, in the grid, satisfies 39A. I didn't view 39A as an Indicator Entry - since finding this occurrence of "FIRE" in the grid was nearly impossible - but as a verification of the meta answer.

Anybody else bothered by RABBIT RUN / CHARACTER? Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom is a fifth Harry without a Sally. I solved the meta in 2 minutes and looked for Sally 5 for many hours.

Make sure your suet does not contain millet. Starlings love it! I've seen them descend on suet and drill it into oblivion in moments. And the suggestion of safflower is spot on. Squirrels generally don't eat, starlings and blackbirds aren't fans. If you can find it, get the golden safflower/Nutrasaff. It was developed to not have the hard outer shell (skip the mess!) l and higher oil and fat content.Joe Ross wrote: ↑Sun Feb 14, 2021 11:49 am
European starlings are the nuisance on my suet. Only the flickers, red-bellies, & hairies can stand up to the gangs, but even they give up after a short while. Starlings chase away the aggressive cardinals & blue jays, not to mention the downies, tufted titmice, chickadees, & other smaller birds.
