Great job, Greg. How many sheds at your parents’ home?

okay---TYVM, kids, for sharing the name & locale of the high point of your home states. I will read up on them. Yup.

Yes, but the details are not perfectly clear to me as well as the NYT article. It doesn't sound as simple as an executive order to say the least, but...

Better get women signed up for the draft on their 18th birthday's starting as of the date Biden said it's the law then.

Last year had a LOT of expenses in the business. Years of not updating equipment, owners embezzling, gambling, etc. Major equipment replaced, had a...

Split pea soup with corn bread muffins and salad.

My spouse's penchant for over-using things like aluminum foil drives me crazy. All of this was used to reheat 1/2 a breakfast burrito. I...

Not a correction, but more of an addition. The bill apparently had a provision that the President can extend the deadline by 90 days if there's a...

I use the Amish noodles sold in the big bag and Better than Boullion also in my chicken noodle soup. Plus lots of carrot and mushroom pieces. ...

I could be corrected, but my understanding is that Biden signed the bill into law in April, however it was not scheduled to take effect until Jan....

I made chicken noodle soup and used Kluski noodles. I like them as a side with parmesean and butter, but never thought of putting them in the soup...

It’s a very odd situation. Biden signed the bill into law last April, but said his administration wouldn’t enforce it. I’m not clear what power Trump...

I see where Don says he will open up Tik Tok by executive order on day one. That should be an interesting feat since the bill has already been...

They do have the information that the government put when they took people to other states, so there are government records, it's a start. Doesn't...

I blame James Taylor! He seems to start it, but not finish the song in CA very often. I've seen Fire and I've seen Rain....>8)

I agree there will be lots of noise and cameras trained on this deportation effort. Actual people will have to leave our country. But the numbers?...

Figured I should revisit this for frugal inspiration, which I am in dire need of. We're embarking on some home repairs with an actual repair person,...

All sorts of different animals are now dying from bird flu. A bunch of dolphins in FL. A otter at a Chicago zoo. I’m reading more that this...

Expecting a lot of snow today, so putting chicken stew in the cp. Will be nice having something ready after all the anticipated shoveling.

Three pairs of sneakers that are starting to hurt my feet into the donation box.

It looks like the deportations are about number one for Trump's first day. My guess is that he will somehow make a big show of it to serve as an...

I see where the department of HHS has dedicated 500 million to Moderna to research a bird flu vaccine. The little news I could figure said that RFK,...

One of our farmer friends has done extensive research on the current state of the avian flu, and she agrees that this is a rising problem and a...

We can see Vermont's highest peak, Mt. Mansfield, from Lake Champlain. Here's a pic taken from our boat last year. My son and daughter have hiked up...

The highest point in MA is Mt Greylock, which I like because we can access it by car, lol.

He's looking mighty fine to me!

okay---there's a song i don't like, that has become an anthem on grocery store intercoms, everywhere. so, anyway---it's called "Take My Breath...

okay---now i get it----Since Ukrainia is you kidses fav-O-rite country, they are now attempting to invade this forum. Has hAl sign a pact with Great...

It’s to the point now that Covid deniers are attacking anyone who expresses concern about the bird flu.

okay---Nice View! Mt Elbert is the highest, tho. But, I think Mt E is one that does not require technical climbing--but it is a very strenous hike....

I agree that Trump is more “power hungry” (this really is not a good term and I am sorry I used it) than Joe Biden but I can’t think of any term...

Ah, but when he was elected, he was NOT of diminished capacity, or at minimum, LESS SO than his opponent. In 2024, we (well, not ME!) elected...

to the bold: Yes, exactly. Electing old feeble Joe, pretending he was up to it for 4 more years, would be delusional. People (well, me anyway)...

So one last act of “constitutional vandalism” on the way out?

Welcome back, NewGig! There's a woman at the pottery studio who has a donation box for unloved pieces . Apparently she brings them to a charity...

I usually owe the feds and get back roughly the same amount from the state. Not sure why that is or how I can fix it but I've learned to live with...

okay---I know summa you kids liketa travel, using the very latest technology(which I call touch-screen addiction), but here is a photo of...

Got my W2 today and filed taxes on my phone at lunch. It’s simple. I only owe the federal $220 this year. It was at least $1500 last year. 401K for...

It seems to me to be more of a "let's throw this mess at the incoming administration" tactic.

What???!!!! In the name of Phyllis Schlafly and over her grave in Alton, IL, I say “ Get back thee, oh Satan/Biden.” Now I will have to go...

If you think about it, even the "Latin" bit is problematic. https://sixthsunridaz.com/not-hispanic-not-latinx-not-mestizo/

I have done a lot of multicultural market research and I've learned that the Latin community does not prefer Latinx, but when we were creating the...

Okay, gathering my courage to post the link to my blog...she says, nervously, but here goes: pattytakes.com Notes from the First Baby Boomer ...

Mailed this week: books, puzzles, and family photos. The books are more store stock, yes, I'm still purging that, although almost done now... But the...

Reference to the person making the joke … republican … too big a deal out of “labels”.
