As a point of reference, here's what he says he will do on day 1 according to a recent NBC news. I'm sure there are more, as he's made any promises....

Pardon the Jan. 6 characters. Close the border & start drilling.

A plurality of the voters didn’t seem to think so. I think that was Maher’s and Carville’s point.

I'm with ya up until the part about learning to discount such language, lol luxury beliefs? boutique policies? That's some funny stuff, lol.

I don’t think Maher and Carville could be fairly characterized as overly sensitive conservatives. I think they are concerned about a party elite and...

I seem to remember a time not so long ago when the *ahem* conservative element derided liberals of being such lily-livered pansies that they could be...

Thanks a bunch. We're working on some tech things on the site (isn't conquering new tech bunches of fun??)... so as soon as conquer that, we'll post...

That's great. You're a testimonial to eating the good life!

James Carville has talked about the need to “rub off the stench” of “NPR language”, and I think he has a point. I heard a joke that every time...

That’s like leasing a house. Might as well rent.

I watched Pam Bondi being grilled by Durban and Chuck Shumer. Both pressed her on the 2020 election out come and election interference. She would...

That should be the new bumper sticker for the Republican Party: Loathsome, Unqualified, Republican!

I do not want to see Hegseth confirmed, not so much because he seems like a loathsome human being, but because he seems to be totally unqualified for...

okay---I was wondering if maybe waiting until winter, when there was snow cover, and summiting the high point of Ohio on cross-country skis might be...

okay----Here is a photo taken of the view of Campbell Hill, the highest point in Ohio. (see photo). The parkin' lot in the background can serve as...

Brooke has been watching Bill Maher then, because that’s what Maher said weeks ago. This time around in this Trump presidency he’s not gonna get all...

Whole food plant based. No dairy, no oils. No alcohol, no sugar, no processed food. Vegetables of all kinds. Berries and small amounts of other...

I am so sorry, frugal-one. What a position to be put in, but you did the right thing.

Family situations like this can be so traumatic unnecessarily. I am sorry for your pain. You did what your brother wanted.

I’m not an expert but off the top of my head it seems like there are two scenarios where one would want to do the Roth 401k. First, young people...

Today, David Brooks in "We Deserve Pete Hegseth": "The lesson for Democrats over the next four years is clear: Don’t fly into moral outrage every...

okay---here's another one. An olllllld 58L-J8. Yup.(see photo) But yeah----take a good, long look; you will prolly never see another one in your...

Got a new phone and Otterbox case that came with an accessory so you can carry your phone on your belt. Will never use that so it's going.

Yeah. Biden’s running all over the place with “cement his legacy” speeches, interviews and op-eds, but it almost feels like Trump’s already been...

When we were shopping for the house we both agreed that we wanted to be able to afford it on one of our salaries. Thankfully we both earned enough...

I agree. God knows I'm not a fan, but I've seen all kinds of stuff on social media from people angry that Obama was smiling at something Trump said....

I hope your are right. For me as the casual observer it doesn't take much to realize Trump is significantly unhinged and Biden has some age issues. ...

That will be a fun trip. London is a great old city.

Frugal-one, thank you for doing this difficult task and doing what your brother would have wanted you to do.

People too often invoke Occam’s Razor to justify oversimplifying a problem. I think that is one way Trump’s enemies play into his hands. If one...

Frugal one, sorry to hear of your problems. I've had a similar dilemma as power of attorney and the objections of others for my choices. It still...

Yes! I started about a year ago. I'm writing a book and serializing the drafts. The working title is Exit 9: The Off-Ramp to the Good Life and it's...

Mine went up 21%, with about half of that being an inheritance.

Great spend rate jp, at 42% of take home. We used ro strive to spend one salary only and save the other, but since we didn't really budget I...

Frugal-one, I'm so sorry you went through that and so glad you thought to call the hospital--you did what he would have wanted, and it is so hard.

Last week eggs were over $3 a dozen at Aldi's. Not sure what to expect this week.

Condolences, frugal-one. I'm sorry for what you have been/are going through.

Oh, frugal-one, I am so sorry you're having to deal with all of that! It's clear that your brother trusted your judgement above all others, and you...

London area hopefully

okay----some stats here for you kids. But yeah----crime runs rampant, here (see photo). Yup.

Where all are you going?

Work is incredibly stressful lately. The Indian half of the owners is the major problem. It’s so nice when he’s out of the country or at the other...

Frugal, I’m so sorry to hear that. Thoughts your way.

It has been a very tough week! My brother went into the hospital yesterday. He is 1700 miles away. I talked to him yesterday but could not get a...

I recently did my year end financial review as well. 2024 was a great year. My net worth, ignoring the house, increased by 27%. For 2025 I'm...

Haven't been many eggs around here. We found some this morning at Costco - the organic pasture-raised 24 pack. Not what we usually buy but $7.50 for...

no but thanks for the suggestion. After much back-and-forth for most of the day, it seems to be clear that these photos cannot be turned into what...

Prices are so location dependent. 12 eggs are around 3.00 or so here in Indy. We got a coupon for 2.49 and another coupon for a free dozen. Kroger...

Eggs have gotten really expensive. But that’s bird flu for you! About $6 for 18 at Walmart b

Have you tried any of the free photo web sites such as Pixabay? Some are free (with a desired donation to the photographer, but not required) and...

Oh absolutely! We crave stick-to-your-ribs foods during the colder months. Just like the bears before they hibernate--maybe we need to put on an...

They ended up coming on Saturday. Found out the first Friday they missed was because the driver has a "favorite" truck and it was broken down and he...

Some things can boil down to Occum's razor as having a simple easy explanation. As Steve Martin once said, "May I mombo dogface to the banana...

The other night we made Sheperd's Pie with lamb broth and lamb mixed with veg and topped with mashed potatos. I slept like a baby. Something about...

It’s an expert opinion if it’s informed. It’s just another hack spouting off when it’s based on sound bites and cocktail chatter.

No, I don't think he would use a nuclear weapon, although he might talk about it or coerce others. But that's rather the extreme. I don't have...

The "President has his finger on the triggers of thousands of thermonuclear weapons" narrative does not conform with how the weapons are actually...
