    Crisis actors

    it seems like whenever we have something tragic in the news, there are always several ideas about what really happened, how it happened, and why it happened. The latest one is the shooting in Minneapolis of one of the paid rioters who had a combat handgun and several magazines, which would have...

    Bad storms predicted for the Souteastern states this weekend.

    We have been getting storm warnings for the last few days, always with the possibility that they might be better or worse than they are telling us. As we have gotten closer, the forecast seems to be showing that we have a snow storm or an ice storm, or some mixture of both happening here by this...

    How did you get your start posting in forums ?

    For me, it was an online website called “Postloop”. Postloop was a way for new forums to get members and content when they first started up a forum, and for writers to get paid for content writing. Forums needed writers to attract other writers, and about the only way to get that was to pay...

    Daycare Scams are everywhere now !

    This is just starting to break in the news, and so far most of the information is from the Somali daycare scams in Minnesota, but other people are checking their own state and finding the same kind of information. Basically, what happens is that they start a licensed daycare which is funded by...

    Catastrophic flooding in Western Washington State.

    They called it an “atmospheric river”, which is apparently really wet clouds, and the jet stream put it right into the Seattle area, and then just stopped , so the rain keeps coming down over the same areas, and flooding all of the rivers, as well as snow on the mountains. Many of the main...

    Huge waves happening on all of the Great Lakes !

    I was just reading this on X, and it seems to be another anomaly, because they do not normally have the gigantic waves like this. Has anyone heard anything more about what caused this ? @Jacob Petersheim , maybe ?

    Fruitcake….. yes or no ?

    I love fruitcake and look forward to having some each year during the holiday season. I just noticed that Walmart had the little fruitcakes on their website now, and I ordered one for us, since Bobby likes fruitcake also. This is something that my mom used to get every Christmas season, and...

    Knitting Season is upon us….

    Cold weather has returned to most of the United States, and definitely to here in northern Alabama, and when that happens, it is time to end Gardening Season and get ready for Knitting Season. (This also includes crocheting, of course) Right now, I am making another little throw rug from the...

    The Doggie Condo………. A Dog’s tale.

    Rusty is Bobby’s outside guard dog, and he has a crate inside where he sleeps at night or stays inside in bad weather; but he prefers being outside and has never been an inside type of dog. That is the province of my little lap dog, Marco Poodle, who was a rescue from a puppy mill; but I think...

    Making homemade syrup from your own trees .

    I was just watching a video about this, and there are quite a few trees that can be used for syrup making, not just maple syrup, which is the most common one produced commercially. However, this video names several other trees which have sap that can be used for syrup, and even one where you...

    Fitness Trackers

    Bobby and I both have Apple Watches, and wear them pretty much all the time, although Bobby does not wear his it bed for sleep tracking, and I usually do wear mine overnight. I really love my Apple Watch, and I think that everyone (especially we seniors) should have one, in case of emergencies...

    Learning about food combining.

    I found an old book, Food Combining Made Easy, written back around 1940, by Herbert Shelton, that talks about food combining and why it is important. I am still reading the book, just started actually, so I am just barely getting a grasp on the concept of food combining and why it is...

    Circulating pet water bowls

    I was reading that sometimes cats and dogs do not drink their water if it does not smell fresh, and when it just sits in a bowl, it can stagnate. This would be similar to the water in a pond stagnating as opposed to the running water in a stream. I am looking at the circulating water...

    Probiotic Foods and Drinks

    This thread is to discuss the importance of probiotic foods, such as sauerkraut or kimchi, and probiotic drinks, such as kombucha or water kefir, and other fermented probiotic drinks. I made kombucha for a while, and it is pretty simple to make, but does take up a lot of counter space. I had a...

They had a handicapped young man working for them in the store, and he was taking some of the deli food that was being thrown out, and having that for his meals at work. Instead of talking with the employee and working things out, the...
