BRING IT BACK Some might think I’m a Luddite. Nope. I’m logical and realistic. To prove it I will list several things which were far better or cheaper before modern tech. For instance, phones worked incredibly well before cell towers. Pick up the receiver and dial a number and it worked. No swiping a pattern, no facial recognition or thumbprint …

GUEST POST from Don – Intentional Errors
INTENTIONAL ERRORS 1. Nature has this headline: “Five years of COVID vaccines: how a breakthrough created a public-health crisis.” Unfortunately, they misidentified the issue on purpose. They say that the “messaging” about the COVID vaccine caused some people to move away from vaccines altogether. The article claims that those who had the most accurate data should have been …

GUEST POST from Don – When You Are An Adult
WHEN YOU ARE AN ADULT “WHEN DO YOU STOP BEING A GIRL, AND WHO GETS TO DECIDE?” – Headline from “The Face.” The article topic is really about film making. OK. But it raises a significant issue for America. When does a boy or girl become a man or woman? In one state you can’t be left alone at …

GUEST POST from Don – Pesticide Exposure
PESTICIDE EXPOSURE What is the OPPOSITE of pesticide exposure? Toxic insect exposure. More children died in the 1800s from insect infestations in foods than died in the 1900s from pesticide exposures from farm foods. Insect feces, eggs, crop disease from burrowing insect larvae, etc., created a food nightmare in the 1800s. No one ate an apple in the dark. No …

Saturday Social – Dec 6, 2025 Edition
I don’t do many Saturday Social posts, as not much changes, so there’s nothing new about which to write! I still use 2 main platforms: gab, and mastodon; I also scan a few others but don’t participate much – if at all. Today I want to talk about gab. Again. I probably use gab slightly …

GUEST POST from Don – Marble Jar
MARBLE JAR Have you seen the video? Well known and respected, Dr. Brené Brown talks about the time her daughter was stunned by the betrayal by a “friend.” Dr. Brown developed the “Marble Jar Theory” of trust. She says that trust “builds slowly, ‘a marble at a time.’ Every time a friend keeps a promise, remembers something important, or …

GUEST POST from Don – Child Bravery +
CHILD BRAVERY + Studies have shown that children as young as age 8 can display bravery. One girl, (not sure what country) protected her younger sister from a knife wielding thug. There were school children who held the door open for other children as a gun toting adult was shooting at others. We know that children can and …
