Hi people, I'm on here because they're trying to close down pretty much all of the local auto stores, the very first one is advanced auto which about 300 stores have closed already, they're also closing clothing stores in the area because of online shopping, so what I'm coming to say is let's support our local businesses because when these things go down on the internet who are we going to have to go to then? Online orders takes time to come and yes they're cheap right now because we still have local businesses but once the local businesses go out then online orders will become just as expensive as the local businesses once were, but once we start to support our local businesses then maybe the prices may go down once they learn that we are coming back to them, well that's all I have to say and I pray that we do the right thing. Plus we have to think about the people that are working these businesses for our good, these people will be out of a job which is not good.

Anna M. Mangin invented the pastry fork in 1891.The utensil was used to mix dough for pie crusts, cookies, butter and flour pastries without needing to mix the ingredients by hand. The fork was also used to beat eggs, mash potatoes, and prepare salad dressings. Mangin was awarded a patent on March 1, 1892, for the pastry fork for mixing pastry doughPATENT PASTRY-FORK.SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 470,005, dated March 1, 1892.Application filed July '7, 1891. Serial No. 398,705. (No model.)
With this invention, Mangin paved the way for future cooking gadgets to shorten cooking durations and alleviate the physical strain of kneading, mixing, and mashing by hand.
In 1893, Mangin's Pastry Fork displayed the ingenuity of African American inventors and the tenacity of African American women at the World's Columbian Exposition. Held in Chicago, Illinois, people of color and women were initially denied opportunities to participate in exhibits.
After repeated demands for inclusion a limited number of non-white exhibits including
Mangin's Pastry Fork were allowed. Although her invention occupied only a small corner on the second floor, a writer on female inventions noticed the kitchen wonder and called it "the only thing of its kind at the patent's office."
