We tend to change out a lot of our decorations throughout the house for Christmas, and I was looking for some coffee mugs to replace what's usually on the mug sign in the kitchen since our kitchen is a coffee theme. We had gone...

Jim Bauer I have been to a few Dollar Tree's over the past week or so and they didn't have anything. But they would definitely have been cheaper if they did.

If I hadn't mentioned it, although I think I have, it's soup season, and so about once a week or so I pick a soup to make and make up a batch of it. So far, I have made a turkey noodle soup, a kielbasa and bean soup, chili mac, a...

Jim Bauer If I made soup that often I'd be inundated. But I make rather large batches worth several helpings. But yes, soup is delicious.

I guess it is official. I am old. It is past 7 PM and there is nothing I would rather do than go to bed. I don't want to hear rock 'n roll music. I don't want to hear socially conscious folk music. I want to sleep. Kitty may sleep...

Jim Bauer @TheHorse My YouTube channel itself makes no money. But the published songs do through royalties since the "publisher" technically owns the distribution rights. If you watch my "Journey" video, for example, I get nothing. But if you watch one of my published...

This is breaking news but according to scanner reports at least 28 people have been shot at the University of Nevada Las Vegas campus. 28 people. Yeah a musket isn't going to do that. Pretty sure a revolver can't do that. Anyone...

Jim Bauer @MarieCoyle The problem is lack of reasonable dialogue. That's why we don't have any real solutions. It's like so many other things. People are arguing with their hearts. Not their brains.

When I have to pay more for something, it just bothers me. Especially considering when it is something I try extremely hard not to do. But it does happen from time to time. Like paying 30 cents more for a loaf of bread than you...

Once, I was at a church. The pastor was giving a sermon. He said, "Every one of you has a secret life." I looked around at the other people and started imagining what their secret life could be. They were pillars of the church...

Jim Bauer @LindaOHio Yeah, at that age I do think there should be more privacy. At the same time I do subscribe to the old adage of "my house, my rules." It does depend on whether or not the kid is paying rent or not. It's tricky.

Jim Bauer @NJChicaa No. The gun is not the issue. Easy access to guns does not have a single thing to do with mass killings. Box trucks, bombs, even a knife or machete was used in one mass killing. An AR is just a rifle. Nothing more. It is also not an "assault rifle"...

Laurels, motives and ulterior motives are all great things. So are convictions and principles. But at the end of the day? When there is money involved? Sometimes you just suck it up and do what you got to do. I have always said...

Jim Bauer Agreed. Sometimes stores like this are quite a bit overrated. But I have found some REALLY good deals there. Only my 2nd visit as I just recently discovered it. But it will definitely be a regular trip. Maybe once every couple of months or so. Being about 40...

Jim Bauer I have been in some others. Ollie's certainly ranks higher than many I have been in. But I find all of these kinds of stores more a fun way to shop.
