    Trump latest: President says he will raise new global tariff rate to 15%

    Here is an excellent video from Glan Beck, and he explains exactly how tariff work, how they can help a country, and why countries have used them. He went from an anti-tariff viewpoint, to a pro-tariff viewpoint, once he researched and understood what tariffs can do for our country. By having...

    Mexico is under attack by the cartels !

    One of the top people in the Mexican cartels was taken out today, and the cartels are attacking several cities in Mexico, and especially the airports. People are being told to evacuate if possible, and shelter in place if they can’t get out, and live near one of the cities that is being...

    Man, 20, stabbed to death at Northampton skate park named UK

    That is what I was thinking as well, @Don Alaska . At least here, now ICE is getting these criminals deported as fast as they can catch them, but out is going to be a long hard job to get them all.

    Trump 2.0 - What are your thoughts?

    Apparently , someone tried to attack Mar-a-Lago t=last night. They had a shotgun and gas can and were shooting at the building, and apparently also at the Secret Service and Deputies, who ended up having to shoot the attacker. Not much is known about why he did it at this time. President Trump...

    Blood pressure

    The watches do not track blood pressure yet, at least not the Apple Watch. However, I think that is what they were working towards with this study. For a month, they had me wear two watches, one on each wrist, and after two weeks, swap wrists with each watch. So the watches tracked whatever they...

    Man, 20, stabbed to death at Northampton skate park named UK

    The link won’t let me read the story. Does it say whether these stabbing were done by the illegal immigrants or by native British citizens ? Maybe they are not illegals there, like here, but what I meant was by people who came as refugees or whatever into England, and not native born ones...

    Do you like to garden ?

    Our Dollar General has the Fordhook heirloom seeds, and they are much cheaper there than at other stores or online. What brand does your dollar store have, @Mary Stetler ? Walmart also usually has lots of seeds at good prices, although not a whole lot of variety like an actual farm store has...

    Congratulations on all the posts and threads here, @Smithy ! You do a wonderful job of taking care of this forum, and also of listening to what people would like to have on the forum. One suggestion that has helped us on our senior forum is making interesting titles, and always having the...

    Name one famous thing in your city/town

    I have never heard of this, @Nancy Hart , what was the purpose of the chains in between the cannon balls ? Did they think it would do more damage if two were connected together maybe ? If they only used it once, apparently it either didn’t work like they thought , or it was too difficult to...

    Last thing you drank

    San Pellegrino sparkling mineral water. This is pretty much my go-to drink now. I know that any kind of soda is not healthy, whether it has sugar or artificial sweetener, and I had changed over to sparkling water several years ago. Then, I discovered the sparkling mineral water, which is even...

    What's your Weather like today

    We are still in the little warm spell, but then going to be cold again for the next few days, and by mid-week, it should be warming back up again. Trees are starting to bud out here, and we have a daffodil in bloom, so that is always a good sign.

    Trump latest: President says he will raise new global tariff rate to 15%

    It is ridiculous what the Supreme Court is doing, because they can’t tell the president how to run the country. Their decision didn’t help them any, and in fact it will probably set up an investigation on who (and what countries) are pressuring the court justices to make decisions like this...

    Blood pressure

    I just finished doing a study about fitness tracker watches, and part of that study was to take my blood pressure, twice in the morning, and twice at night, 1 minute apart. They sent me an Omron blood pressure cuff to use for the study. The study requirement for taking blood pressure properly...

    Mr & Mrs Robin

    That is awesome ! Hopefully they will make a nest and you will get to watch slime robins grow up. Once they start nesting there, they might keep coming back each year. This reminds me that it might be time to start checking the osprey cam that is at my home town in Idaho. They have a nest and...

    Last thing you ate

    I had ramen noodles with lots of stirfry veggies for brunch today. it is cooler, so something warm seemed better than granola and fruit with yogurt this morning.

    Do you like to garden ?

    YES ! YES ! YES ! So, after saying last fall that I “for sure” was not going to garden this year, some how that Gardening Bug bit me anyway, and it bit me hard. I have been buying seeds for several different kinds of tomatoes, and herbs (basil, oregano, thyme) several varieties, and then found...

    Name one famous thing in your city/town

    I now live in Alabama (USA), but I grew up in a small town in northern Idaho. There was a long wooden bridge that went across the Pend Oreille river, right where it cam out of the lake, and at that time, it had the distinction of being the longest wooden bridge in the world ! Later, they built...

    Trump 2.0 - What are your thoughts?

    The other countries have been putting tariffs on things we purchase from them, which has made high prices here in the US, and now we are putting tariffs on things we sell to other countries, so they also have to either lower their tariffs, or pay the higher prices for US imports. What is also...

    Andrew latest: Government to consider legislation to remove Mountbatten-Windsor from line of succession

    What would happen if the investigation into Epstein and human trafficking implicates more of the royalty there, @Smithy ? A lot of what Prince Andrew is being looked at for happened quite a few years ago, and it is possible that both brothers might have been involved, but it is only showing...

    Name one famous thing in your city/town

    Huntsville is where the Space and Rocket Center is at. Even though most of the flights have been launched in Florida for the Space Shuttle, this is where the headquarters for NASA and the Marshall Space Flight Center are at. Now we will also have the headquarters for Space Force, the newest part...
