    That's the Way It Crumbles, Cookie-Wise

    I haven't heard of any problems with high levels of B12, but it probably isn't a good idea to run above the testable levels. Did you have to hold the gunnies under your tongue, or could you just chew and swallow? Intrinsic factor in your stomach is required to absorb B12. That is why it is...

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

    Maybe if you sold a large quantity to a dealer, but I think being dispensed as gifts or sales in small quantities over time would be impossible to track, especially if nothing went into a bank account of any kind.

    Do you like to garden ?

    43 F. and raining, so it is inside work today probably. We shredded a few heads of cabbage for sauerkraut and our "cooked" vinegar is started. I am starting vinegar from crabapples and trying it cooking the apple peels from the apple pie filling my wife made. I have never tried making vinegar...

    Hegseth and Trump reveal why the big meeting is being held

    I don't agree with everything that Trump is doing, but this administration is such a delightful change from the last that I cannot complain too much. The generals and admirals are all political animals. They have to be to get flag rank. The real fighters usually stop at the colonel/captain...

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

    If you bought out of state with cash, you might get away with it, but is you transferred money or used a card of any kind, you would owe tax. Washington so far does have an income tax, but it has taxes on everything else.

    Hegseth and Trump reveal why the big meeting is being held

    I agree that war is a terrible thing, but that does prevent it from occurring. The "Rape and Pillage" theory of human development depended on war, but usually on a smaller scale than what we have today. If you recall, some of the wars in the past lasted for decades or even a century.

    The Democrats have shut the government down

    Most green energy jobs, if not all, depend on government subsidies whether they are here or in China. They are, in effect , more government jobs. Even Tesla only became prominent because of subsidies and Gavin Newsom in California said he would destroy Elon Musk by removing California's...

    Medicare Open Enrollment Period in October

    @Yvonne Smith does @Bobby Cole use any of his VA benefits as far as healthcare goes?

    Fast food

    Never been a fan of fast food. I always wanted to sit at a table to eat and have someone take my order and serve me. We used drive-thrus when we had kids and we were on a road trip somewhere, but never as a routine thing. Pizza and what I called Spider Juice were a payday treat for the family...

    That might shelter you from some of the censorship others suffer.

    The Democrats have shut the government down

    I read that Trump and his team are closing all the "green" projects and laying off--probably firing all the staffs involved. New York City where Schumer and Jeffries are based has lost a good bit of funding at least during the shutdown, and it may not get restored...which probably won't happen...

    What is going on in the UK!

    I am surprised they didn't outlaw the vigil. I am glad the Brits have gotten the courage up to raise hell.

    Hegseth and Trump reveal why the big meeting is being held

    In the old days, all young males had to go to war, but as society matured and the weapons got more complicated, only the better were selected. The old way "selected out" the weaker, less intelligent but the new way does select out the best and brightest.

    What is going on in the UK!

    It is possible that Trump is trying to change the leadership there or expects it to change shortly as @galty has said. Things just seem to be getting worse over there.

    Here is a video by an established author talking about how products are approved by the FDA.

    The Democrats have shut the government down

    The original offer was made so that unnecessary Federal employees would have several months of paid leave in order to find new jobs. It actually was a pretty good deal, especially for many who had enough time in to retire. Those people went away on September 30. Unnecessary ( as deemed by...

    How are you feeling today?

    I have posted before that humans are omnivores based on how the digestive system is constructed. It is what has allowed us to become the most widely-spread warm-blooded creature on the planet. I think some of the things we have done to our food supply has compromised that in order to support...

    What is going on in the UK!

    I just saw that 4 times as many people are being arrested in the UK for spreading false information than are being arrested in Russia for the same crime. It is a very bad sign. The Britcard that is being talked about in the video below is being pushed as a way to control immigration, but it is...

    The Democrats have shut the government down

    The U.S. Federal government is now over 130,000 people smaller and larger RIFs and layoffs and furloughs will continue this weekend and next week. Trump posted on Truth Social (reportedly since I am not on that) that he is beginning to think that the Democrats have secretly come over to his...

    Marketplaces

    I haven't used any, but my youngest son is a wizard with Facebook Marketplace at least. He sells recreational equipment as well as trailers and heavy equipment on Marketplace. He is very successful at it and as far as I know, has never been ripped off...although it would be difficult to walk...
