    What's bothering you right now?

    Have you tried any sort of meditation?

    How's your day been today

    You could parallel test the two glucose systems to make sure the new one reads like the old one @Jacob Petersheim. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. The OTC stuff is not held to the same standards as the hospital-based stuff is.

    What's your Weather like today

    -24 F./-31 C. this morning. A bit chilly, but I am sure the sun will come out and things will be bright. Wind is predicted for later, so that will warm it up a bit.

    Daycare Scams are everywhere now !

    I heard about stopping daycare funding to Minnesota, but I haven't heard of other stoppages. There is a reason that Ilhan Omar arrived as a dirt poor refugee and now is worth a reported $30 million. A similar story to AOC except she wasn't an immigrant. She was a college grad who couldn't...

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    We get them at thrift stores. The ones with HDMI ports cost about $10 or a little more. The ones without are $5 or $6.

    Thieves drill into German bank vault to steal valuables worth tens of millions of euros

    Sounds like a movie script.

    Has anyone here been affected by tariffs?

    International crypto already exists. It is not mandatory however. You can see what has happened to Western postal services from Nancy's experience though. This is the first I have heard of things leaving the U.S. to come back to the U.S. Stuff within the country and entering the country are...

    What's your Weather like today

    -15 F./-26 C. and the wind has died down. No new snow and much of what was on the ground has blown into drifts. I had to plow the driveway in front of the garage door to allow the car to exit. The power steering on the truck failed, so now we are down to one vehicle until I decide what to do...

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    Lots of holes in his theory. He is saying Apple will still exist but essentially will be valued in existing currency, so it will be worth nothing, and the millionaires will have nothing. They simply won't allow that to happen. Those people own the financial system and the politicians, so the...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    Maybe. It looks like the U.S. is taking over the Western Hemisphere and China is taking the Western pacific and Eastern Asia. Europe will be left to fight Russia.

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    China's tightening around Taiwan is now in full force. Japan is sending coast guard (i.e., naval) forces to islands near Taiwan, and the U.S. has reportedly conducted airstrikes on a port facility and drug manufacturing site in Venezuela. Riots have begun in Iran reportedly, and President...

    Some new research explained by John Campbell

    That is true. In the U.S. they were immune from civil lawsuit due the the immunity law passed in the 1980s and the reclassification of a "medical device" which wouldn't be immune to a "vaccine" which was covered by the immunity. Other nations are not as litigious, so they weren't sued there...

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    I know you don't believe me @Jacob Petersheim but it appears that China is actively attacking the Western banking system, mostly using silver and gold and it is causing great instability. Reportedly China is overpricing silver and that is causing a draw on both London and New York.

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    China has now decided to use U.S. techniques and are duplicating our Venezuelan actions in Taiwan. China has closed the airspace around Taiwan and even over northern Taiwan. They are also blockading Taiwanese ports as part of an "exercise" that is open-ended. It begins today with full force...

    What's your Weather like today

    The snow we got is now blown around in drifts. 50+ mph winds and more snow possible this afternoon. As long as the wind is blowing, the actual air temperature stays above 0 F., but when the wind dies, the temps drop. My wife received a picture of her thermometer outside her house in Delta...

    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    We could do that as far as the eating goes, but the food prep and cooking would make it tough. In the canning and freezing season, it might be impossible. I do that with the stuff I don't want to go in the dishwasher, like carbon steel knives and cast iron pans.

    Airstrikes, shootings, hypothermia: The harsh reality of life in Gaza under US-backed ceasefire

    That situation is so sad!

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    I think the drug thing is part of it, but mainly a cover for other issues. Marco Rubio has long had trouble with the Venezuelan government, and, as Secretary of State, he now has power to take some action. He cannot, of course, do anything military, but as the architect of foreign policy, he...

    What is going on in the UK!

    He is probably the stupidest person on TV in the U.S. Ironically, Colbert is a smart person but they both hold the same idiotic positions on many things.
