I just finished that shelving unit you asked about. I used pine because it's easy to work with and stained it a dark walnut. The brackets need to be anchored into studs for anything heavy. I'd suggest adding a back panel if you want it to feel sturdier. Let me know if you want me to come over and help with the installation this weekend.

We are writing to let you know about changes to your plan options and a special program for residents in your area.

As part of your 2026 coverage, you have several options to review. Alongside these updates, BlueCross BlueShield is providing a Medicare Kit to households in your area. The kit contains useful medical supplies and is covered by the program — you will not be billed for it. One kit per household, while supplies last. A total of 800 kits are allocated for this program, and the offer ends tomorrow.

What Is Inside the Kit

• Disposable gloves (latex‑free, box of 50) • Digital thermometer
• Adhesive bandages (assorted sizes, 100 ct) • Instant cold pack (4″x6″)
• Blood pressure cuff (manual, with stethoscope) • Sterile gauze pads (4″x4″, pack of 25)
• Medical tape (1″ x 10 yds) • Elastic bandage (3″ x 4.5 yds)

That pasta recipe you wanted: start with a good olive oil, sweat garlic and shallots, add cherry tomatoes halved, cook until soft. Toss in al dente penne, a splash of pasta water, and fresh basil. For protein, grilled chicken or shrimp works. Finish with parmesan and a squeeze of lemon. It's simple but tastes great. Let me know if you want the exact amounts.
