SOMETHING WORKS! + Have you often wished your kids would do things to help around the house? Or, do you wish your spouse would notice when the kitchen trash is overflowing and take the bag out to the trash cart? Maybe you noticed that the dishes never get rinsed unless you make a big deal about it! I …

GUEST POST from Don – Fake Math
FAKE MATH We wish we didn’t have to Fact-Check the Media. Unfortunately, math is one of the most common ways that Media misreports. On one day I found more fake math media examples than I can report in a regulation-sized post… The following samples are for your amusement: One article said that the car owner’s fuel cost per …

GUEST Post from Don – The Cheese in the Mousetrap
THE CHEESE in the MOUSETRAP Some reading the following will see politics, but you won’t find it in my head. This is how I view logic. Find the causes and the results. “Tax the rich” is the bait. The person saying it ignores that the rich are already heavily taxed. Further, no matter how much of HIS money is …

GUEST POST from Don – Who Dun It?
WHO DUN IT? How many times have you read of a robbery and been given NO identifiable details about the “perp?” The person is being “sought” but you don’t even know whether it is a male or female, race, hair color, eye color, type of shoes, or shampoo preference … NOTHING. How are you supposed to be …

GUEST POST from Don – The Rest of The Story
THE REST OF THE STORY Not Paul Harvey’s version, unfortunately. Reuters posts: “Millions lose food stamps under Trump cuts. Arizona is hardest hit.“I read the story. I looked for something therein and did not find it. Here’s the issue … If I tell you that “Product A is 40% cheaper” you should know what it is …

GUEST POST from Don – Here’s A Tip +
HERE’s A TIP + I have been thinking about the stupidity of tipping. Many people complain (like about the weather) but no one does anything about it. WHY A CASH TIP? When going to a restaurant I now carry CASH in my wallet for the tip. I have a wad of small bills in an envelope at home. Every …

GUEST POST from Don – My Parents Were Right
MY PARENTS WERE RIGHT Don’t you hate it when you disagree with someone who’s right? First, WHY were they right? Good question. They were right because they had a 25 year head start. They had experienced failure, loss, icky diapers, sleepless nights, and the common cold. Thus, they knew stuff. They knew shortcuts AND when not to take them. Second, …

GUEST POST from Don – Clocks
CLOCKS It is time. The House just passed a bill to encourage states to choose DST. It doesn’t matter to me whether we use Daylight Saving Time (DST) or Standard Time. Just choose ONE. The jumping around makes me dizzy. Arizona doesn’t move to DST ever … and they do just fine! The purpose of the …

GUEST POST from Don – Life Is Hard?
LIFE IS HARD? Of course, if you have never researched the past, nor lived it … the current stream of events seems “hard” (by which you actually mean “uncomfortable.”) Some writers seem intent on telling us how “hard” things are. But I lived through Carter, Ford, and Obama. Things were much harder then. We were told under Obama …

GUEST POST from Don – The Price of Tech
The PRICE of TECH Of course, with a vengeance the media is covering the struggle some families are experiencing with grocery prices. This, in spite of the fact that 3-4% inflation is well within the normal range. Of course, with a vengeance the media is covering the decision to drop the special COVID-induced support for Obamacare. It …
