    Are People That Annoying or Is It Just Me?

    Now I’m a little jealous. My procrastinator’s club card only allows me x number of procrastinations until I HAVE to get the job done. You must have the high priced card that allows you unlimited procrastination days until you CAN’T get the job done!

    Are People That Annoying or Is It Just Me?

    To greatly embellish on Sen. John Kennedy’s statement about following Jesus: When I get up in the morning I tell myself to follow Jesus and every thing will be alright but when I get out into the public, I still want to follow Jesus but at some point I also want to slap the hell out of somebody.

    Hot Water Heater

    He’ll probably learn more crap in college than he’d face as a plumber. To be sure though, there’s a lot more to plumbing than dealing with the anatomical grindings of the human body. I’m not sure about all states but in some, to be a certified plumber one has to be a pipe fitter to boot and...

    Healing as we grow older

    On the note of “immobilization”, adhesive K-tape has been a huge help on that front. I normally get it from Amazon in rolls of 10” strips and use the stuff religiously on areas that I injure more than I intended and depending on the exercise, on areas that “might” get injured without it...

    State of the Union message, 2026

    I saw a couple of excerpts if that counts. Just the small bits and pieces that I saw were of those who were highly infected with DTS and in need of a mental health professional.

    Hot Water Heater

    OUCH !! A few months ago I replaced an old (gas) heater at our local convenience store. The 50 gallon unit itself cost $600 at HDepot and I only charged them 300 beans for labor. Not bad for an hour and a half’s work. Note: I get 10% off for my vets discount which only means that whatever...

    Hot Water Heater

    As @Yvonne Smith wrote, we now use an electric tankless system which also means that we never run out of hot water. We were lucky in a way because the electric panel sits in a closet on the other side of the wall of where the hot water tank was so hooking it up was just a matter of connecting...

    Replacing Shed/Outbuilding

    A couple of months ago, I was looking at some sheds on line and found one that I might still get from Home Depot. It was something on the line of a 10’ x 14’ ya gotta put it together shed for under $200. Seems to me if a person needed something even bigger than one of them, getting two of them...

    State of the Union message, 2026

    It wouldn’t be so bad if Liberals actually practiced Liberalism instead of being so heavily intermixed with ideologies akin to Marxism, Socialism and Communism. Today’s liberal can rarely be compared to the actual definition of the word as ensampled by what they actively portrayed during last...

    State of the Union message, 2026

    I’ve been watching excerpts and reading comments in regard to the SOTU address and the one major theme I have taken away from it thus far are the number of “traps” Trump set for the Dems. When the President presented the Angel Mom’s, the Dems stayed seated even though the rest of the floor...

    Inadvertent Naps and Other Signs of Geezerhood

    It’s kinda like finally receiving Social Security after paying into it by having x amount of money taken out of my paychecks for so many years. Throughout my entire working life, whether it be an 8 hour day or 12 or 16 or on a few occasions, 24 or more, time earmarked for naps has been taken...

    Personal recipes or recipe enhancements

    When we opened the Cajun Kitchen in Moyie Springs, Idaho, I introduced my own hot sauce to our guests and it turned out to be accepted extremely well. So well in fact that one guest wanted to present a sample to the buyer at Food Service America, who incidentally was a friend of his. To make...

    Anyone Watching the Olympics?

    Sorry to go a little off topic folks but I’m just curious. Thorpe’ s medals were eventually restored in 2022 so are they being displayed in one of the boroughs or held by the son?

    Anyone Watching the Olympics?

    Just another weird thought: I wonder how many sons and daughters butts got ruined when mom found her missing new broom being used to sweep the ice in a kids curling match.

    Anyone Watching the Olympics?

    One of the Greatest olympians that ever lived, Jim Thorpe, had all of his medals stripped for doing much less. All he did was play minor league baseball for something like $50 hence being classified as a professional even though his Olympic expertise wasn’t even remotely associated with baseball.

    Healing as we grow older

    As I mentioned before, “get a better cushion to sit on” was the only advice I got from my doctor when I complained of a self diagnosed sciatic nerve problem. Yes, I got a better cushion but being the slightly belligerent person that I can be, I saw my chiropractor and after 2-3 sessions, I...

    Healing as we grow older

    I think the worse “mess up” and the hardest thing to repair is being dishonest with ourselves. Simple example comes with two words: I can’t. If there’s a REAL reason for “I can’t”, it is one thing but those two words have caused more mental and physical health dangers than anything else...

    Healing as we grow older

    No, not completely. Sports Med did MRI’s though just to make sure I didn’t need to go under the knife. Not to seem too much like a soy boy, I still carry a TENS pen when I go to the gym just to allay any overage of pain when I do hammer curls. Pronated curls are generally fine but the...

    Woolworths Luncheon Counter

    Alas, my first broken heart can be attributed to a beautiful young lady who worked as a waitress at Woolworths. Yes, it was around 1964 when I got a P/T job stocking and washing dishes is when we first met. Ah………my first kiss with my first real girlfriend WHO ALSO SENT ME MY FIRST AND ONLY...
