GETTING BACK WITH AN EX The first question on everyone’s mind is the first question you need to answer: “What has changed?” Understand that fewer than 44% of couples actually TRY to do so, but should you? I once was on a decision-making committee. One member failed to live up to his obligations and was fired. Less than a …

GUEST POST from Don – Plumbing Wednesday +
PLUMBING WEDNESDAY + As I was skimming the headlines this morning and found ~50 headlines about bad water heaters and sink drains. Is this a slow news day? I know, the editor just went on vacation. The assistant editor has a stack of articles ready to go. Tomorrow is Catsup Thursday? 35 articles on the best catsup brand (“four experts …

GUEST POST from Don – National Debt
NATIONAL DEBT Every time a committee gets to spend other people’s money it wastes incredible amounts of it. Worse, almost every time voters get to vote on increasing a local school tax they pass it. The worst is how easily a family slides into overwhelming credit card debt. We want things and we won’t be denied …

GUEST POST from Don – Penicillin, et al. +
PENICILLIN, et al. + We all should know the history of antibiotics, like penicillin. Briefly, a special group of molds were found to kill certain bacterias. Wonderful! We can now have safer surgeries and recover faster from bacterial infections. Be careful with antibiotics, though. Read and follow ALL instructions. If you don’t you could make the sickening bacteria immune to the cure. Don’t …

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 …

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 …
