So sorry we seemed to be picking on you, Fred. There are some kinder, gentler threads to drop in around Mudcat when looking to see what people are doing. The BS: stay out of trouble thread (stay afloat) thread is an excellent example (this is a second iteration since thread length is a thing we have to be careful about now, or they vanish from sight). The knives are sometimes pretty sharp over here in the UK politics thread (though probably better than the guns in some of the US political discussions). Over on the stay out of trouble thread you're liable to find commiseration, helpful suggestions, and occasional recipes. Give it a read (and there is a link to the much older longer thread in the first post).
