    Gaza flotilla live: Ship, activists being taken to Israel

    The fact that Greta Thunberg is part of this tells me all I need to know. Conditions would not be so horrible in Gaza if Hamas didn‘t first commit heinous crimes. Hamas is Evil. Greta Thunberg is a school dropout who believes her own press. She needs a spanking.

    The fickle nature of weather

    I live in Texas and the weather is notoriously fickle at certain times of the year. But starting in May, it’s just HOT. And it stays hot until October. Unrelenting, blazing, hell’s front porch heat.

    U.S. Inflation Relief Kicking In

    H‑E‑B is selling large eggs for $3.82. Aldi is probably even cheaper. Here’s the thing. Many prices may never go down, but at least they’ve quit going up like a skyrocket. Media denied inflation for years, but now all of a sudden they’re noticing prices. SMH.

    What was the worst wedding you went to?

    We went to a wedding in St. Louis in April. It was a work friend of my husband. Weather at that time of year is iffy at best. It was an outdoor affair in a large park. Day before the wedding was warm, sunny, and perfect. The day of the wedding was cold, rainy, and utterly miserable. All the...

    Medical Aid in Dying (MAID)

    Such a mild term for what used to be called assisted suicide. I’ve got mixed emotions about it. Doctors and families would be walking quite a fine line.

    Be careful if you order from Walmart

    That’s just not how tariffs work. Walmart will not quote you a price then make you pay extra. Folks are using this tariff news to scare and scam people. Relax. It’ll be fine.

    America, the price of your OTC meds are about to rise...significantly

    I no longer believe most of the main stream media and their doomsday predictions, especially when it comes to our president. Theyre the same chuckleheads who denied that Joe Biden had dementia, only now they’re writing books about it.

    Is homelessness a visible problem where you are?

    There are many reasons for homelessness. But I think the most common one is a long series of bad decisions until it’s too late to change. Does everyone deserve a roof over their head. Sure, in theory. But who’s going to pay for it? The government in Austin throws all kinds of money at...

    Gene Hackman and wife found dead

    I am amazed that no one checked up on Mr. And Mrs. Hackman. So was his wife the sole caretaker? No Visiting Angels? His kids didn’t call? Her friends didn’t notice that she didn’t return their calls? Assuming they had close friends, of course. Because if I don’t show up for bridge or Mah jongg...

    Asylum seeker Crashes into crowd in Munich Germany

    JD Vance addressed this, among other things, in a speech in Munich recently. I shall say no more lest I get political, but I agreed with him.

    America, the price of your OTC meds are about to rise...significantly

    Lots of dire, end-of-the-world warnings out there. Not sure I believe them. We shall see.

    Which card games are easy to learn for a group meetup

    Uno is easy. Mah Jongg isn’t cards. It’s tiles. I play American Mah Jongg and it can be tricky to learn. Canasta is also easy.
