Minnesota nice
Minnesota nice is a cultural stereotype applied to the behavior of people from Minnesota, implying residents are unusually courteous, reserved, and mild-mannered compared to people from other states and more akin to their Canadian neighbors in Northern Ontario. Wikipedia

Per the website, Old Time Music.com
"Sus," short for
suspicious, is the most used slang term by teenagers in 2023, according to
parents in the survey. The term gained popularity thanks to the online murder
mystery game Among Us. About 62% of teenagers use the word "sus" to
call out questionable behavior or suggest one has a devious motive.

It’s rare that people remember to thank the person who was a reference for your job interview even though they were a very important part in the process. Perhaps it’s because we know them well and frankly, we take them for granted. Let’s not do that anymore.
Here is a quick way to express your thanks that doesn’t take
a ton of time and will be so appreciated.
I send a handwritten thank you card to their home address.
If you don’t know the address you can usually find it at sites like
truepeoplesearch.com. If you know their email address, do both; by email and a
duplicate by snail mail.
I first compose my thoughts using a Word document.
I then copy and paste into an email and/or transpose it by
hand by looking at it and writing it in a nice card. You can get cards cheaply
at a “Dollar” type store or if you are in the habit of sending thank you notes
(such as I do) you can buy them in bulk somewhere online.
Here’s an example:
Dear Annette,
I wanted to express my thanks in this way for your generous acceptance in
being my reference recently.
I’m glad to say that I did get the job which will be an overnight “sleep” position
(7 on and 7 off) at an adult assisted living home so I’ll still be free in the day time
for my other activities.
It means a lot to me that you did this.
Thanks again.
Terry
Was this a very big job or promotion that resulted from getting this reference? Maybe something additional to a thank you card would be appropriate. Ask to take them to lunch without mentioning them being a reference and at the appropriate time, thank them again while handing them your card. You may even include a gift card in the envelope. If you think they may not accept the gift card, mail the thank you card to time it so they will receive it shortly after your coffee, lunch or dinner visit.

My favorite place to find out is going to eBay and doing a search. Get an idea as to what people are asking but the best way would be to check the "sold completed" listings by scrolling down and seeing this on the left of the page. Look at the various varieties of conditions etc. and price yours accordingly.
At the time of this post, here are two eBay ads...
Rare and still care? Born in 1967; know someone who was? Having a sales contest for your company and your company was founded in 1967? You and your honey got married in 1967 and you want to show your love and appreciation? If so, then “A Penny for Your Thoughts”; but thinking really doesn’t make it so, ya gotta show. So show your rarity or the rarity of someone else with this unique design by Ter Scott.
You can find many sources on the Internet but I like to go directly to eBay because that will show the most recent sale of the item. (Always check off the "sold/completed" listings on the left side of the page).
Simply go to eBay and enter the item, in this case the 1977 penny, into the search bar and you'll get your answer.
Be sure to see if the penny has special marks that would make it more desirable to collectors, and base your value on that.
Rare as a 1977 Penny
Born in 1977; know
someone who was? Having a sales contest for your company and your company was

Among the most attractive of all canine varieties, the Afghan Dog is an honorable blue-blood of magnificent excellence. Notwithstanding his superb appearance, the Afghan can display a charming dash of senselessness and a significant reliability.
Since antiquated times, Afghan Dogs have been renowned
for their rich excellence in looks. The thick, satiny, streaming coat that is
the variety's delegated greatness isn't only to look good it also is security
from the cruel environment in hilly locales where Afghans initially acquired
their keep. Underneath the Afghan's spectacular outside is a strong, spry dog sometimes
as high as 27 inches tall at their shoulder. Their colossal paw-cushions safeguarded
them from the harsh grounds where they lived. This is a dog that is an extraordinary variety
for unique owners. As with any pet we recommend that you learn as much about
the animal as what it takes to be a good owner.
The Afghan has a magnificent
appearance having a long, satiny coat. It’s solid, curved neck, conspicuous
hips, enormous paws, an apparent bend at the knees with a donut type twist in
its tail. Its head is long, and refined,
the ears are long and covered with considerably longer hair just as the body is
covered with long, fine, smooth hair. The coat on the face is short and
polished.
The Afghan dog can have a great many
shades and colors; creams and reds, and have black coverings and black, black-and-tan,
red, cream, blue, spot, domino or white.
When young, the Afghan doesn’t yet
look like its long-haired grown-up version. It has fluffy hair on cheeks (monkey whiskers)
and over their backs. Its puppy coat starts to drop out at around one year evolving
into the polished, glossy grown-up coat.
Are you a good fit for the Afghan dog which is solid willed and
autonomous, standoffish and fearless? This dog can be furiously courageous yet
in addition tentative, calm and “lazy”. Likewise with any canine, socializing
the Afghan is in every case is essential.
The Afghan dog can be "high upkeep" for various
reasons. They are profoundly sensitive to scolding, which frequently inspires a
refusal to comply. They answer best to delicate direction and firm discipline. Routine
keeping up with the Afghan's jacket is advised. Afghans require bathing every
week and brushing away the dead hair that could cause tangling and matting to
which they are inclined. Grown-up Afghans shed in the spring and fall, after
sicknesses; and females not spayed shed after each season.
Afghans can make fine condo and couch canines
but do require a lot of activity to avert fatigue and wanting to chew on things.
A mile or two of day to day walking is recommended and having a closed in yard
for running is best. The sad fact is that this breed doesn’t like to come when
called. With their instinct to hunt, they can be a threat to other animals in
the neighborhood.
Having such a thick coat, they are
actually small dogs and don’t eat as much as one may think by only looking at
their outward appearance. Having long ears, some owners use ear stockings to
keep them clean when they eat.
The Afghan dog was first bred long ago by the roaming
peoples of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India. As a very gifted hunter, this dog could bring
down both huge and little game like antelope and some even say leopards. British
Soldiers brought the Afghan back to England from the Middle East sometime in
the nineteenth century. Today they make fine pets for the discriminating owner.
Bacon Ring Burger, we saw the Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings on Facebook and had to have a closer look. The original recipe was by John Thomas of Grilling 24×7, . My first thought was “What a great burger topper”! So, here is our take on these and a great burger. You’ll see that I made some changes to fit in with what I had in mind. So, we made these for our Date Night and filled them with sautéed garlicky mushrooms. We call them Bacon Rings, what a treat.
Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker, but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a little wine, or strawberry margaritas using frozen strawberries for ice, good food, music and sometimes a dance or two…
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Servings: 5
Ingredients
2 ½ lbs hamburger 80/20
1 ½ tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. GMG Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Rub
Provolone Cheese
Condiments of choice
Ingredients: Mushrooms
¾ lbs baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 Tbsp. butter
1 Tbsp. minced fresh garlic
3 Tbsp. shallots or green onions, sliced
Ingredients: Bacon Rings
5 large sweet onion slices
1 lb. bacon
½ cup Country Bob’s Apple Chipotle Sauce
GMG Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Rub
toothpicks
Directions
Mix your seasonings together with the hamburger and make your patties. We made 5 out of 2 ½ pounds. Then, place them in the refrigerator. (Burgers hold together better if they go on the grill cold) Sauté the mushrooms and shallots in the butter and set them aside. Put them on the grill when the burgers go on to heat up.Coat the onion rings with the Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce and season with the Roasted Garlic and Chipotle Rub. Wrap each onion ring with 3 strips of bacon and secure with your toothpicks. Yes, 3 strips of bacon. I smoked these for an hour at 225 degrees (107c). Pull them off the grill and turn it up to 350 degrees (174c) for the burgers. We put the burgers on for 6 minutes a side with a quarter turn at 3 minutes. Top with cheese and bacon ring. Then, fill the bacon ring with the mushrooms.I like to smoke everything for at least 30 minutes with an hour being even better. After all the Green Mountain wood pellet grill is a awesome smoker so use it for all the wood smoke flavor it will add to your food.
So after the grill comes up to temp and burns clean turn it back down to 225 degrees (107c). Place the bacon wrapped onion rings directly onto the grill and just let it hang out in the smoke and get happy for an hour or so. This is referred to as “Smoking” or “Hot Smoking”, the temperature is 225 degrees (107c).
After an hour, turn the (Temperature Control) up to 350 degrees (174c) and pull the Bacon wrapped onion rings off the grill. When the grill comes up to temperature put your meat back onto the grill. I did this for 3 minutes per side. The burgers I did for 6 minutes aside with a quarter turn at 3 minutes. Top with cheese and bacon ring. Then fill the bacon ring with the mushrooms. Perfect.
U.S.D.A. recommends an internal temp of 165 degrees (74c). We use a Maverick ProTemp Instant Read Thermometer for checking meat temps.

Bored of the same ole’ Mexican food? Turn your next dinner party into a Fiesta with Boom Boom Beef Enchiladas !
Prep time: 15 minutes - Cook time: 30 minutes - Servings: 10
Boom Boom Sauce
4 tomatillos, peeled, washed and quartered
3 jalapeno peppers, halved and seeded if desired
2 Serrano peppers, halved and seeded if desired
3 garlic cloves
1 bunch cilantro, washed and chopped
2 cans (4 oz each) diced fire roasted green chiles
4 green onions, chopped
Juice from 1 lime
¾ cup vegetable broth
1¼ pound yellow American cheese, (I had the deli cut it in
thin slices)
Salt and pepper to taste
Enchiladas
1 pound hamburger
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
10 corn tortillas
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded, for topping
Directions
Turn on the broiler, and place the tomatillos, jalapeno
peppers and Serrano peppers on a baking sheet and broil for 3-4 minutes per
side. Please watch them carefully so they don’t burn. Place in a food processor
or blender.
Add garlic, cilantro, canned green chiles, green onions and
lime juice to the blender and blend until fully mixed together.
Pour the mixture into a saucepan over medium heat. Add in
the vegetable broth and stir well. Stir frequently until heated through. Lower
the heat to low and add in the American cheese slices and stir until it is
completely melted in and mixed all together well. Salt and pepper to taste.
Stir occasionally while you cook the rest of the dish.
In a medium skillet, brown the hamburger with the onion and
spices until fully cooked.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
To assemble enchiladas, take the corn tortillas and place on
a plate with wet paper towels covering them. Microwave for 45 seconds (this
will make the tortilla pliable so it doesn’t crack). In a baking pan, fill each
of the 10 corn tortillas with equal portions (several tablespoons) of
hamburger, and roll them up. Top with shredded cheese. Heat in the oven for
20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted. Top with the Boom Boom sauce and
serve immediately.
