    Where do you keep your eggs?

    Since I don't eat eggs often, when I do buy them, I always keep them in the fridge. Even then, I often have to throw some away because I'm afraid to eat them when they're way past the date on the package. I've experienced food poisoning a few times & I didn't like it one bit. Even after I read...

    How have your political views changed over time, or have they?

    In my youth, I didn't know much about politics or how voting worked. And it bored me anyway. But when they lowered the voting age to 18, I thought it was a big deal; I just turned 18 around that time - sorta like turning 21 & walking into a liquor store & buying beer, even though I hate beer...

    What Can We Do or Not Do to Better Our Odds in Old Age?

    One thing we should do is acknowledge that we're older & need to modify our activities & hobbies so they are age appropriate. This applies mainly to guys. On my daily walk, a guy asked me how old I was. I said, "73." He said, I've seen you circle the park briskly twice, don't your knees bother...

    How many different medications are you taking?

    The only thing I take is Insulin - diabetic 16 years. At my diagnosis, I was prescribed all sorts of drugs - blood thinners, statins, blood pressure drugs, etc. I asked the doctor why, he replied "You're diabetic." I didn't find that two-word answer very informative. I'm a research type of...

    Little Known Facts That Might Interest You

    Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backwards. The brain only runs on glucose (sugar). That's why low blood sugar is so dangerous - you can't function, you can become unconscious & it's eventually fatal. In fact, Insulin was put on prescription because it has been used as a murder...

    Just More of Ken's Nonsense

    Well, I just learned a new word. Never heard of "Whinge." Here, we call it "Whine." "Would you like some cheese with your whine?" And a few years ago, I learned another one - "Whilst."

    You have to be very careful when dealing with pests. Just look what this Cockroach did when I tried to spray him with Raid:

    Little Known Facts That Might Interest You

    Yes, and the key is the amount. Much like Black Widow venom, which is 15 times more toxic than a Rattlesnake's.

    Little Known Facts That Might Interest You

    Opossums are immune to Rabies. Scientists believe it is due to their lower body temperature that doesn't allow the virus to replicate. They are also the only living thing that is immune to snake venom; unknown why. Giraffes have the highest normal blood pressure of any mammal - as high as...

    Shopping--What did you buy?

    Yes, I shot up some of it. All were OK. But I get concerned when ammo in a house/defensive gun is that old & I replace it for peace of mind. I'm also a handloader - been at it for 48 years.

    Problem with mice!

    Bucket traps work on most rats & mice. But some are smarter than others. I got one rat with this bucket trap, but when I reset it, I was astonished to find this. A rat actually walked around the edge of the lid, avoiding the part that drops him into the bucket & chewed through the plastic in...

    That's What She Said

    I'm very sensitive to cold & I hate cold water, cold food, cold hands & she better not have cold feet in bed. Before my shower, I turn on a space heater, close the door & wait until the bathroom is at least 80˚
