Just to let you know what hip and up on things sort of guy I am, when it became more frequent to hear, "Happy Holidays" I thought it was just modern short speak for Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. That was around the time when everything was "awesome", I only know I wasn't awed by...

Once I hit 50 I started having real difficulty sleeping through the night. The real problem is that if I want to go back to sleep the rest of the world won't let me...starting at 5:10 AM with the neighbor with the loud motorcycle and continuing with one thing or another for the rest of the day...

At the time there was a lot of flack about tornado safety, do's and don'ts. The truth is that tornado had already passed and it was moving away from the subject. As I recall it was taken by the mother who had her daughter stand out there so she could get the pic. It wouldn't have been my...

This photo was the winner in an amateur photo contest. It appeared as the cover on a supplement to the Sunday Omaha World-Herald which was called The Magazine Of The Midlands. Where I found this copy of the pic said it was April of 1989.

The postal board of governors are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate. If I remember correctly there are 9 members and maximum limit on 5 that can belong to the same party. The post master general is appointed by that board. The congress is the one that passed laws...

It's not pain, it's pressure and it's not much at that. It fits more snuggly than a standard choke collar, jerking it wasn't necessary. I wasn't making that up about trying it on my own neck. No way I'd have ever used pain to work with my dog. I was just sharing my experience. I hope you find...

On a dog with short fur a pinch collar works extremely well. As soon as the dog pulled pressure was applied and he stopped, never had a case of him straining or jerking against the collar. We had Labs. Before you go thinking I'm some sort of sadistic animal abuser, I can tell you they don't...

I am the wrong person to answer this question. My girlfriend in college was raped after an evening class. She also escaped without much more than a little bruising. In her case she was (haven't seen her a long time) a strong person so for the most part she was emotionally dented, but not...

What drugs were the subject of this "infomercial" ?

The cartoon I was thinking of was one I saw one time. I didn't know any of the characters in it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was also in the Roadrunner series.

I remember watching a cartoon as a kid where the premise was one of the characters had a portable hole that could be peeled up and relocated.

Would have loved to visit that store. I like the grenades.

Ya know, you're making me hungry.

I know my wife and myself are very fortunate to be able to eat and enjoy most things. A person can only do what they can do and do the best with that. Pea soup? Today we're having Weapons Grade Pea Soup. I do make it in a pressure cooker and make about 6 qts at a time. Freshly made it's...

Looks good to me, but then again, I do eat a vegan diet. I'd probably swap the salt for miso, and add some more greens, but that's to my personal taste. Which is the real joy in being a home cook. If you enjoy your food, that's most of the battle. Best to you!
