    Street people asking for money

    A few years back before I finally convinced my wife that buying bottled water is a scam we had been collecting the empties and storing them in large yard bags. It seemed that it was my obligation to take them to a recycling spot. Most grocery stores have an exterior area you can recycle them...

    Coping with Covid

    Not much of a joiner, also I only like to talk about myself. Very opinionated and I only talk about things that interest me. Just joking but I get a little nervous in crowds of 3 or more.

    Coping with Covid

    A group of men have been meeting in the empty Shopko parking lot near where I live. They bring their sack lunch (fast food), drink and their lawn chair. Sit in a circle spaced at least 6 feet apart and enjoy the camaraderie of their otherwise isolated friends.

    Are you a "hoarder"?

    Parents came through the big one in '29 so growing up with a hoarding mother and me having OCD issues it became a battle. I ended up with one hoarding sister and 2 children whom took after their grandma. I get rid of anything I can't use immediately. Don't collect any memorabilia other than...

    Coffee......your favorite brand an how you like it

    My daughter sent a box of coffee samples, I used the Kenyan AA first as I remember from the grinding days it was the most robust & flavorful. I wasn't disappointed. Found a site that had fresh ground AA (all my grinders left via yard sales) for just over $10 a lb. That was a 5 lb bag, would...

    Tell me again why we're all wearing masks?

    Me and my 'Ostrich' neighbor were discussing this report yesterday. She pointed out to me that the WHO is usually wrong in many cases. I then retorted with, and do you think the FDA gets it right? To which I pointed out the damage that we humans have suffered at some of their recommendations...

    Do you think the pandemic is winding down?

    Just read the latest from WHO, now I'm not too sure. They are saying that the virus isn't spread as rapidly as first reported. Asymptomatic and presymptomatic contamination is very rare. Common sense is your best defense. Stay out of crowds, wash your hands, try to eat properly for health...
