I read that almost all of El Chapo's drug smuggling was done through legal ports of entry. Walls would not have stopped his drugs, thugs or runners.

My mom, the pharmacist, always told me to start with an internal medicine doc. So when I had an issue last summer, that is what I started with. He...

To see my new grand-twins 800 miles away, I can fly, drive, or take the Greyhound. I would much prefer to get on a slow train but there isn't one...

DH told me that squirrels chew on just about anything to keep their teeth sharp.

I miss my 30 year old gas Kenmore stove. This house has a smooth top electric and I DO NOT like it at all. One burner is definitely hotter than the...

We always called Waco...Wacko. There was another incident there of horrible violence where a man went into a cafeteria and slaughtered customers.

We have one black squirrel who frequents our yard. He seems to be a loner and fights a lot with other squirrels.

Great shot! DH wants to know what kind of camera you are using??

I am doing it now in my third year of retirement because even though I track larger categories like groceries, the small expenditures are unknown. It...

After watching the PBS special on Noriega and how the US looked the other way while he made millions off of drug trafficking, I have to wonder...

My brother says that the wall would help in some areas but that the real problem is years of ineffective policies. Too little too late and too many...

As a fairly new Colorado resident, I am impressed with Gov Polis so far. He is kind of kooky and has hit the ground running. It surprises me that all...

My brother was an Arizona border patrol agent for many years. He does not support the wall.

I have the same busy-ness disease. But it sounds like you might be feeling better anyway.

I hope that this is just a bad memory with the passage of time.

Verdict on returning "home" is still out but preparing just in case. In any case, this house with three floors is not a grow old kind of domicile....

Some great ideas here...I finally gave up and ordered one from Wayfair. Solid wood, clean lines etc. We will most likely be selling this house in the...
