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. …

Social Saturday – March 2, 2024 Edition – Gab
Gab was rocked by changes in policy this week and many people are still reeling. The range of emotions goes from “It’s about time!” to “I’m leaving, goodBYE!” and everything in between. But many people are hurting, believing that they have been betrayed, and it is for these people that my heart hurts. This big …

GUEST POST from Don – Fear This, Not That – part II
FEAR THIS, NOT THAT (2) There is so much to fear in this world, and many things SHOULD be feared, but reality is that some things are far more dangerous than others. For instance, if you fear penguins, but don’t live in Antarctica … maybe you should put your efforts into more significant issues. I …

GUEST POST by Don: Who’s A Good Boy!!!
“WHO’S A GOOD BOY!!!” When I was very young, prior to school age, we lived on a 2 lane country Lane 3 miles from town. There we owned a weimaraner. We were poor, so I am sure it was not pure-bred. However, its nature was very accurate for the breed. Good around kids. Protective. Enjoyed shared activities. Didn’t drool. Let’s just say, …

GUEST POST from Don – Conspiracy Theories
WHY DO PEOPLE FALL FOR CONSPIRACY THEORIES? Wrong question! Right question …”Why do conspiracy theories make sense?”Right answer … “If there wasn’t some truth to them, and lack of truth elsewhere, no one would believe them.” First, Conspiracy Theories exist because the truth has been withheld. When there is utter openness and honesty and verifiable-ness…a Conspiracy …

GUEST POST from Don: Songs I Like
SONGS I LIKE Who knows music more than I? … Almost everyone! Who has a better playlist than I? … Everyone (including your 6 year old). So, don’t listen to anything I have to say about music or musicians. I don’t know a thing…except what I like. I have an oddly eclectic list … Let me start off by …

GUEST POST from Don – Gratitude Expressed
GRATITUDE EXPRESSED 2023 ended. 2024 has begun. Looking back I realize there are things for which I am thankful. I am grateful that I survived. It was also the year of my second retirement. I appreciated the opportunity at 65 to outproduce technicians half (and some 1/3rd) my age. I wasn’t even trying most of the time. I would be remiss …

Social Saturday – Jan 27, 2024 Edition
I haven’t written too many Social Saturday posts of late, things have just been humming along as I use and enjoy my Mastodon accounts (one of which is where I do all that moderating I keep talking about, the other I simply enjoy) and my Gab account, mainly. I love all 3 places, and would …

GUEST POST from Don – A Village
A VILLAGE? Seriously! Who thought up that odd clump of horse do-do? It really is an insane thought brought to us by likely insane people. “It takes a village to raise a child…” Actually, it is an old African proverb that applied before electricity and the automobile. You needed those others in your village for protection from wild animals and …

Wednesday Whatnots and Wherefores
Last week Pete and I went to a couple of thrift stores, and a some things caught my eye. First was a hose holder at one store…then a metal container at another…and that container had great colors that will go really well with the medallion I’d bought at an antique store in Indiana in 2022, …
