GUEST POST from Don: Handicap-Friendly Home
HANDICAP-FRIENDLY HOME Life ain’t fair. At some point you will probably be on crutches or unable to climb stairs due to injury, surgery, or age-related issues. It may be temporary. One source declared that more than 1 in 4 people in the U.S. has a disability. Of those, about 7 million people use mobility assistance devices. Still, how long can …

GUEST POST from Don – WEED
WEED I know some are very protective of this habit. In fact, several family and friends are defensive about their personal uses. They see it as a marvelous alternative to both alcohol and tobacco. Having read some of what they and others have written the reader could get the impression that it is a victimless and harmless activity. However, …

Tuesday Truth – March 19, 2024 Edition
I haven’t done these in a while, but my “truths” folder is getting enormous, so I figured I’d better do a few…these aren’t on any particular topic, or in any particular order, and since I’m not giving a warning, this batch isn’t political. (If I do share any that may be controversial to some, I …

GUEST POST from Don – For 40 Years?
FOR 40 YEARS? Recently I wrote about conspiracy theories (SEE HERE) and WHY they are believable. Interestingly, today I had my medical check-up (people at my age get those things) and my doctor and I had a brief discussion about the new “vaccine” for RSV.

GUEST POST from Don – Always Hungry
ALWAYS HUNGRY I am NOT a nutritionist. I know NOTHING about diets. I figure I am snack-dab in the middle. Here’s what I do know: South-Beach Diet is … (thinking of a nicer term than was in my mind) … “interesting.” I was never so hungry continually until I wasted 3 months trying to live up to that god. …

For instance, if you fear penguins, but don’t live in Antarctica … maybe you should put your efforts into more significant issues. I …
