    New Rolling Eyes instead of Wow emoji

    Is it possible to switch the wow to a rolling eyes? It would be a great emoji for all of the multitude of puns and sarcasm here on the UU. The WOW seems to be underused, maybe because it isn't adding to the Reaction Total that shows up next to your avatar. There are plenty of posts that deserve...

    Name That Tune

    I've had this tune in my head for years and don't know what it is or where it came from. I think it's a march from some old war movie from the '70s or so. I hope someone recognizes it so I can find the original and make my own arrangement. This is all I think that I remember. In place of the uke...

    Happy Old New Year!

    On the Julian Calendar, today is December 31st. Orthodox countries celebrated New Year's Eve on this day until the 1920s or so when they switched to the Gregorian calendar for secular purposes. Still today they will wish you a happy Old New Year and happily lift a glass with you. Cheers!

    Happy Yule Everyone!

    I hope everyone enjoys the solstice and shortest day of the year (in the top half of the planet). I always thought Yule and Yuletide were Christian concepts...apparently they are pagan. So have a happy yuletide to you all and may the goddess Sol and the god Frey bless you all.

    Daylight Savings Time vs Standard Time

    It may surprise some people that the recent time change didn't bring us into Daylight Savings Time, but did, in fact, bring us back to Standard Time. There are people trying to get rid of Standard Time in the US altogether, but some like it the way it is. Now that we all know we're currently in...

The system works great I have three logs in the freezer now that are fantastic. One is the classic Nestle Toll House cookies, Soft and Chewy Almond cookies, and Peant...
