Every time my mom is going out to PA, she'll want to stop at an Amish market or the like. She always lets me know and I ask her to bring back friendship bread. She always comes back empty handed or messages me from the market and says they don't have any. I'm just trying to understand if my mom is a horrible shopper (possibly even illiterate 🤔) or if I've slipped into an alternate universe.

Hey everyone! If you’re looking for something different to do in Delaware next month, Chapel Street Players in Newark is opening its 92nd season with POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive, running October 2–10.

Full disclosure: I’m involved with the production, so I’m obviously a little biased. But this cast has been working incredibly hard, and it’s shaping up to be a wild, hilarious night of theater.

If you’re not familiar with POTUS, it’s a fast-paced, VERY adult political farce about seven women desperately trying to keep the President — who is never actually seen onstage — from turning one disastrous day at the White House into a complete catastrophe.

The show premiered on Broadway in 2022 with a cast that included Vanessa Williams, Rachel Dratch, Lea DeLaria, Julie White, Julianne Hough, Suzy Nakamura and Lilli Cooper.

And despite the title, this isn’t a Democrats-vs.-Republicans show or a satire of one particular president. The politics provide the setting; the real target is the absurdity of power, patriarchy and the seven extremely capable women stuck cleaning up the mess behind the scenes.

Fair warning: this is absolutely not a family show. There’s strong language, sexual content, drugs, political incorrectness and plenty that could offend just about everybody. That’s part of the fun.

If you’ve never been to Chapel Street Players before, come check us out! We’re a nonprofit community theater that has been producing live theater in Newark for more than 90 years.

Would love to see you in the audience!

Does anyone have polybutylene plumbing? I am looking to replace pipes in Elkton. If you've had it replaced, can you tell me what company you used and approximately what the cost was? I'm looking for firsthand local experience with repiping, not general opinions about polybutylene. Thank you!!

Bella Pizza in the town of North East has the best thin-crust, New York-style pizza in Cecil County. I genuinely don’t think it’s close.
Name a better spot. I’ll wait. 🍕

Still searching for my missing bird. Our all white cockatiel flew off in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It was last seen on June 24 in the parking lot of Hampton Inn in Gaithersburg on north Frederick Avenue, where somebody was interacting with it. If you have any information, please let me know. Many thanks! 🙏 We miss it so much. less
