..and sharing comments with others. Sorry if the info has offended some.

I  don’t post much anymore, as interaction amongst folks any more seems limited to a fairly small group; I almost feel like an interloper trying to post.

Really enjoyed JPR once upon a time, but not so much now, when people don’t seem to want to interact outside of a core…[Read more]

Seems McMaster has a different definition of “inexpensive”  than I do.

I was 20 when it fell, which means I was just  kid during the Viet Nam years.  Still hit hard then;  hits harder now, given it is proof we either learned nothing from ‘Nam, or the PTB have forgotten.  Granted, I am not sure how much of nothing Biden is remembering these days.

Can’t even imagine what Viet Nam vets and those who served  in Afgh…[Read more]

The initial version of the bug appeared to affect the frail elderly and people with lots of comorbidities. People not in those groups had at worst a bad flu. At least that is how things played out here from March 2020 to May 2021. Given the realty on the ground, I ignored Fauci and all his fellow hand wringers. I was in no hurry to get the jab.…[Read more]

Folks who genuinely, truly believe the earth is only 6000 years old, everything they need to know is in the Bible, and they trust in god, not science? Some crazy preacher in a Nashville suburb has forbidden his flock to take the job.

Here locally, the health department was able to get a couple large Assembly of God churches to support…[Read more]

15 or so months ago it was like he’d hung the sun, moon and stars. Then info started coming about about elderly positive covid patients being released back into the nursing homes in New York. Right about when that started gaining traction, the sexual harassment charges began surfacing.

Been wondering who he  pissed off to get thrown under the bu…[Read more]

… as this is a time of year when a plant shut down inflicts a lot of hurt on Frito-Lay. Right now is when they resume/ramp up production on all the crappy school items that start shipping out in early August as the districts prepare to open for the school year.

Remember Michele Obama’s efforts for healthy school meals, a part of which was low…[Read more]

Really nice, big kitty condo, and enough Amazon boxes for everyone. 🙂

Ever thus; buy something for a cat and they prefer the box or packaging.

I finally got the J&J a few weeks back. The initial covid version  did not worry me in terms of catching it. The majority of deaths were very frail, elderly folks in nursing homes; and seriously ill who people had comorbidities. I don’t, so wasn’t too nervous about it.

By the time I could get the shot in April, local cases and hosp…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing it here.  🙂

The “protests” made me think the usual suspect was stirring up trouble, again. That being the good ole US of A.  I am hoping the majority of Cubans won’t fall for it. Tough to see how anyone could look at the current state of the US, and think, yeah, we need that here.

Religion, the more extreme fundie evangelical versions in particular. People who truly believe everything they need to know is in the Bible, and science based arguments are so much water off the duck’s  back with them. Jesus is their protector,  they say.

To their credit, the two largest Assembly of God churches stepped up (finally) and spo…[Read more]

..and drink comes out of the Pepsi Co brands. The only healthy item they produce that quickly comes to mind is plain Quaker Oats.

That they treat their employees poorly is just insult to injury.

The Republicans didn’t miss a beat continuing the corporate generosity.

Go too fast and the Kingdom comes for you?

Thought this had to be eastern TN, but it’s Cumberland KY.

Will reduce energy costs and improve comfort year round. In winter, the just might be life saving, or at least water pipe saving.

Basic improvements are not real expensive either, and give a lot of bang for the buck.

..much further south than, say Amarillo?
We’ve often joked where I live that Arkansas only has one snow plow. Slight exaggeration, but…..if ole Billy Bob hadn’t thrown every tax break possible at Walmart and Tyson, probably have lots more nice things for everyone else in the state, including more plows and salt trucks.

It is waaayyy past time.  Don’t they have some important business to attend to, like a stimulus package and getting some checks out to us working folks?

Apparently, halt, cease, defer, take a break, stop, are no longer acceptable. Too harsh sounding perhaps? So we pause, or press pause; we take the pause that refreshes…no wait, that’s an old Coke ad slogan.

🙁
