    THAT'S a good idea!! I just went on their website:

    We've reached our goal of sending no food waste to landfills. That amounted to 65 million pounds in 2020! Of that, more than 25 million pounds of nutritious and completely safe to eat food – like fruit and veggies, pasta and eggs – went to local hunger relief organizations. To achieve our goal, all Hannaford stores first focused on preventing food waste, then prioritized reuse and recycling methods.

    I wish we had some independent chains like that left around here.

    I used to go to Festival Foods that gave big discounts if you got a code on your phone. I would bring in my little flip phone with my pitiful old body and hint they could put it in for me. That worked for a while but I don't think it works anymore.
    They can't buy my love!!!!

    I think the word they're trying to pronounce is apt, definition #2, as in inclined, liable, or ready.

    apt
    [apt]
    ADJECTIVE
    1. appropriate or suitable in the circumstances:
    "an apt description of her nature"
    synonyms:
    suitable · fitting · appropriate · befitting · relevant · felicitous · [more]
    (apt to do something)
    2. having a tendency to do something:
    "she was apt to confuse the past with the present"
    synonyms:
    inclined · given · likely · liable · disposed · predisposed · prone · ready · tending · subject · of a mind · capable
    3. quick to learn:
    "he proved an apt scholar"
    synonyms:
    clever · quick · bright · sharp · quick to learn · smart · intelligent · able · gifted · talented · adept · proficient · competent · astute

    APP is not an Apple but an application. About that win 10 you can probably roll it back to the original system install it came with. Just search online for Win10 install Rollback to win 7

    I wasn't confused about "apt" but I am confused about "cog."

    cog
    [käɡ]
    NOUN
    1. a wheel or bar with a series of projections on its edge, which transfers motion by engaging with projections on another wheel or bar:
      "the cogs and springs of a watch"
      synonyms:
      prong · point · tine · ratchet · sprocket
      • each of the projections on a cog:
        "applewood was the favorite material for the cogs or teeth of a cogwheel"

    Cognition, I know, but cognition is one word while cog is another, both with different definitions.

    I don't add any apps to my smartphone, nor do I carry it every where I go. Google knows enough about me without my helping it along.

    I'll Never regret Living without a smartphone. My desktop keeps doing a nice job for me.

    On the election results and the states that are dragging behind with their results, do realize they are primarily BLUE states, FL results are in and in good order.

    Now we're hearing could be weeks before LA mayor is known. What a bunch of Crooks....

    A commentator said that India, with several times as many voters as the U.S., has results available the next day. The delay allows for graft to occur here.

    Remember when you'd watch the results come in and know who won before you went to bed?

    This is disgusting.

    John Brunner,

    HD and Lowe's are both 20 mins. from my home and 5 mins. apart from e/o. I prefer Lowe's for all the reasons I mentioned before.
