I have a bad habit, and so I dole out advice to others that I need to better follow myself--namely to look my bills over closely, even though it may feel painful to do so. First, I need to pay them on time; therefore, to take note of the due date. Second, on credit card bills it is important to look... Sign in to see full entry.

Recently, I had made Eggplant Napoleon of Bread, with vinaigrette for a potluck. I had leftover vinaigrette afterwards, so I had to determine what to do with it. I felt too lazy to prepare another Eggplant Napoleon, so I simply bought some eggplant parmesan from a freezer section at the grocery... Sign in to see full entry.

I cannot agree with Al Gore about his global warming hype nor his proposals to hyper-control women's choices to have babies. Al Gore is just too much of a control freak, and his far out alarmism based on junk science are just excuses to have big government come in and control every aspect of our...

Certain Southern states, notably South Carolina, proudly display the Confederate flag. Some people think this is racist and a symbol of hate. I don't see it that way.

A few days ago I heard from the regional news that an ex-convict was apprehended for further criminal activity.

One needs to keep an eye out, because children will be children--especially at an apartment complex. There is a reason the parking lots often have signs reading "5 MPH" or "3 MPH" (though it is hard to see the car speedometer register that low). Children may jump out in front of the car at any time.... Sign in to see full entry.

Recent research shows that whining is the most distracting sound, more distracting than the table saw. I speculate that it relates to the human connection and instinct. When we hear the whine, part of us subconsciously wants to respond to it to relieve it. But this is most distracting and stressful... Sign in to see full entry.

It was pleasant to sleep later this morning (an off-workday). For much of my life, I have not often been able to sleep in, and I attribute this largely to my acid reflux condition. I think now I have finally found the right natural food/supplement regimen to address this condition. Several years... Sign in to see full entry.

Quite a number of times I have read or heard that if this country ever figures out that it can simply vote itself wealth, it is then doomed. Frankly, we are teetering toward that reality, with over 40 percent of people dependent on the government. If That rises to a majority, the public could simply... Sign in to see full entry.

Today at the work site, we enjoyed a potluck. So much good food, and such a variety. Hamburgers and bratwursts were the centerpiece items. Other dishes were a variety of salads, beans, dessert, bread, etc. I brought Norwegian flat bread, Eggplant Napoleon on Bread, and my half can of beans. Of the... Sign in to see full entry.
