I think $4000 a year for taxes for your small house is a lot. But I’m glad you came from New Jersey where taxes are untenable, so Vermont seems to...

From the White House “…Asked about the president's intentions to pardon Hunter Biden on Nov. 7, shortly after the election results came through in...

Alan, that is a sad image of that guy’s last hours.

She is good at skittering around!

I receive solicitation letters and emails from organizations I donate to anyway, so Indon’t mind their end of year solicitations.

that Facebook page does not sound like a good thing at all. There are so many decor sides out there, hope you find a good one if you’re looking for...

I’m sorry you missed out seeing family. I overcooked our “one pan” dinner so it was not very good.��

Yes, Viking cruisers are senior citizens. but I do explore Viking routes sometimes.

That is a nice donation. There is a lot of poverty around there.

My decorating guru, Laurel Berne, said she dislikes having the backs of sofas face you as you enter a room. I was temporarily disheartened by her...

We get the Viking Cruise catalogs and flyers. I confess to looking at those but more often using Viking’s website.

Your dinner will be better than ours! —-Iris, not an exceptional cook

Yes! The charred innards of a fire damaged house.

a few years ago, I spent time calling to get off catalog mailing list and that has worked pretty well then of course we moved so that helped. But...

I know! These houses typically have pretty oak hardwood floors in decent condition, unpainted fireplace surrounds, sometimes crown molding and...

I read up on your library’s embezzler.. That is a lot of money for what appears to be a small library. They have a collection of 70,000 volumes which...

Rosa I tried alcohol free wine and it was horrible. I don’t remember the brand. It was not cheap.

Our magic sidewalk was our alley. The pickers came by regularly. If you set out any metal appliances, they were gone within three hours. We never did...

I want to circle back to this statistic and thank you for it because that puts legal immigration into perspective. I mean, I think we’re talking...

I want Rachel Maddow to cry again over deportation. I wonder if that kind of performative nonverbal commentary is written into her contract. She...

There is never a completely level playing field. Why would you think that? I don’t think that. Some sports are dominated by the same person for...

Sure, you should be allowed to sign up in men’s sports as a man since that’s the category of sports you belong in. If when signing up you exceed the...

Catherine, your discomfort is legitimate and should be respected. This is the problem with “trans Women are women.” It means biological men who...

If by trans moms you mean biological males, of course, parenting support is universally needed but as you say, there are better venues. Le Leche...

You do not identify as trans. You do not say you are a woman. That’s the complete story. If you chose to breast feed your child as a form of...

I saw more than one library employee fired for mishandling of money. I was always grateful that my department wasn’t a public facing one where I had...

Go Hawks! (As if I care)

yikes, that is a bleak outlook. But I won’t say that could never happen because unfortunately sometimes the bad people do prevail.

Awww, they must be super cute at this stage!

I am VERY happy with the medical services of our tiny rural town. I Have a direct care physician—easy to access. Our little hospital is 5...

Most news sources are influenced by, and deliver their product with, opinion.

There are several recipes for assembling “1 pan Thanksgiving dinners” and I think that is a brilliant idea for small households.Here is one: ...

Right. I have nothing against documenting on a temporary and controllable basis people who pick my strawberries. This assumes of course that it WILL...

yes, you are right. Mea culpa. This is the number you are citing most likely. ...

One Googled source I read said that. I’ll go back and see if I can find it.

DH brought in a clump of red beets, the last of the season. I foolishly cooked them and made a salad of them and we ate them. I said “foolish...

See, the problem with your argument and that of many here is that ya’ll constantly ascribe opinions and actions to me. I don’t even know what my...

Absolutely! Let’s go back to that time of immigrant entry! There were 40 million immigrants into this country between 1900 and 1930. Thirty years. ...

I read about her. Pretty crazy. There’s another one about a cancer hoax coming out in 2025 about Amanda, a churchgoing lady who grifted hundreds...

You all are giving Trump too much credit for strategy.

I suppose we will cook a turkey. We are buying one anyway, may or may not cook it on The Day.

Of course it is “ opinion” which is why I used that word.

I won’t urge you to read Judith Butler because I won’t read any more of what she says, but she is important in crafting idealogy for the far left. ...

So, should we sell our share of our family farm in the heart of Big Ag country?

President Biden gave Harris responsibility for issues affecting our Southern Border. “Border Czar” is slang term for that responsibility. Do you deny...

I don’t remember where I saw this. Probably if you Google it you’ll see that opinion expressed multiple places. Both sides were lobbing the...

There is a whole long clip of liberal news media folks talking about how she was never the “border czar” but was in charge of ?some? policy...

The title of this thread is “Endorsements” so here I guess we can talk about celebrity endorsements. That guy on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough, is...
