Good morning everyone

Yesterday I asked: With regards to the 4-H,do you know what the 4 "H's" stand for ?
In 1908 the clover emblem was designed, at first it was a three-leaf clover and the H's stood for Heart,Hands & Head. In 1911 it was suggested there should be a fourth H and it should be Hustle later they changed "hustle" for Health
4-He'rs pledge the following to make their communities and world a better place
"I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service(volunteering) and my Health to better living.
Pretty cool

Great American Grump Out Day I've been known to...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Story
Mrs Tek bought some chipolte for chili and included the usual amount.
You need to understand that we looooove hot food!
We could not eat this chili. Apparently she got some kind of super chipolte and didn't realize it.
So she saved some of the chili and included a small amount in the next batch for seasoning. We still couldn't eat it. She kept adding smaller and smaller amounts of the saved chili until she finally gave up and threw it away.
I have never tasted anything as hot as that, ever.
Good morning everyone
Happy Thursday
Happy Cinco de Mayo !!

Today's Question:
When was the last time you used or wanted to use the phrase
