In the past, fixes or repairs were done by me simply out of principle. I don’t know if it’s out of ego or just not wanting to pay someone else to do something I can figure out myself or a little bit of both but I did and do prefer to do as much as I can. There has always been DIY projects that...

It’s not necessarily a ha-ha funny but funny nonetheless that no matter how “smart” AI is, it cannot fathom what the creator, humans, truly are. AI has no relative concept that will lead it to understand how it actually came to be much more so the humans that created it but I do have to give...

The only real answer I can give is, “dunno”. Every place we’ve rented over the years was improved and if any maintenance was needed, I did it which cost the landlords virtually nothing. To me, if something gets fixed or upgraded it’s a wash: Our lives become more comfortable and the landlords...

All the interior doors and half the jams have to be replaced. Two bedrooms have large holes in the walls and all the walls in the entire house have been used to enhance a couple of childrens’ creativity and imaginations via crayons and magic markers. Both bathroom floors have to be completely...

Why me? As I wrote in my last post, stuff just keeps happening so when will I get the chance to play plank maker? Just when I thought, well, now I can get out there and do my thing, a tenant “accidentally” started a fire in his garage and bang, now I have a whole house to renovate…..again...

Perhaps I too am getting a little grumpy when it comes to being ordered to see this doctor or take that test or gulp down this or that prescription. I have written before about my recent (last 5-6 years or so) experiences with so called medical practitioners which could be the basic script for...

Just my take on the 5K. In order for it to be truly called a “bribe” is if the money was only for Republicans who got out and voted. Or…for Democrats who switched parties and voted red. One more item to acknowledge. No Dem was outraged and called it a bribe when Joe Biden was...

Yup with a caveat. The beet juices I have seen at the store are loaded with preservatives and sweeteners so the best bet, other than ordering powdered bulk beet root from Amazon, is to juice your own beets. I do recommend ordering the raw powdered beet root. I buy a pound at a time for...

I am officially off of the regimen of taking prescribed blood pressure meds. First it was Lisinopril for around 14 years. The doc started me out at 10 mg of Lisinopril then another doc threw me onto 20mg with a kicker of 12.5mg of hydrocholorthiazide complete with a hacking dry cough that...

She was undoubtedly repeatedly reprimanded (as I was) by one or both parents for leaving the door open by using that phrase, “YOU WEREN’T BORN IN A BARN,,,CLOSE THE DOOR !!! And alas, you expose her to her greatest fear: A Open Barn Door.

Dunno April. I’ve had it since around 1970 or so and the VA tells me that it’s not an ear problem but rather, a brain problem with no real cure. Since @Don Alaska was a lab rat for some time, maybe he knows a little more about what penicillin can and can’t do. So far as my own experience...

Plus….the folks who do not need the handicapped riding carts but race around the store on them for fun. And…the folks who do need the handicapped riding carts deciding that the middle of the aisle is a good place to park the derned thing whilst talking on their cell phone. Oh, and let’s not...

There have been a few futuristic type of movies put out that display humans as close to being robots without being robots. Everyone wears the same thing, lives in exactly the same type of house or apartment as everyone else does and are pretty much wiped of any characteristics that would...

In every sense of the word, she was a lady. As far back as I can remember, I have never heard anything negative about her in the news. She had a private life and a stage life and didn’t confuse the two at any time that I know of. One of the last things I saw her do (YouTube) was to tell...

Uh-Huh. Kinda like driving a car whilst looking through the little rear-view mirror 90% of the time and the Big window up front where our future is laid out 10% of the time.(or some such). As a side, the philosophical premise attached to our actions almost demand that at some point, we’re...
