The Rascally Raccoon

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (123677) • Gainesville, Florida 3 Apr

In my last discussion I wrote about a snake that visited us during the night when my son and I were camping. We had another visitor as well, a raccoon. Although raccoons are very common in Florida, and seem to be in high numbers...

Trump now is going to put huge tariffs on pharmaceuticals

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (122364) • United States 11 Apr

Oh here we go again. The Very Stable Genius is so freaking stupid that he still doesn't understand that Americans pay the tariffs in increased prices and apparently his advisors are just as stupid or are ineffective and cannot...

Jim Bauer @NJChicaa Trump never endorsed, agreed with, or was involved with Project 2025. You KNOW this, but you simply can't let go of the lie. Musk has also been clear that their efforts are designed to SAVE Social Security and ensure funds go where they are supposed...

Brutal spider v. bee battle in my window this morning.

The Horse @TheHorse (225421) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Apr

I got lazy and did not clear away the spider web that had "occurred" in my window. It is right next to my desk. This morning, as I was chatting with my friend on the phone, a brutal battle occurred between a spider and much...

Jim Bauer @TheHorse Reminds me of that old joke, "What's the last thing that goes through a bug's mind when he hits your windshield?" His ass.

It has been a while since the last time the wife and I ordered a pizza, but the time was right to do it last night, and boy was that good. We ordered from our favorite pizza joint in the area called Pizza World, which I think...

Tariffs of 17% on Israel!!

Rachael Alice @lifecoachjerusalem (1322) • Israel 8 Apr

If you every thought that the POTUS was pro Israel, well you are wrong. Israel got hit with a 17% tariff. This will cost the economy of Israel many jobs and exports. So all your computers that have in INTEL chip are going to...

Do you like A1 sauce on your French fries?

The Horse @TheHorse (225421) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Apr

I actually prefer A1 to ketchup on my French fries. It is tart, tangy, and tasty to me. Most restaurants are "chill' when I ask for A1 with my burger and/or fries, and I am thankful for that. Do you believe that the current...

More Laptop Issues, Ugh!

Jim Bauer @porwest (98982) • United States 10 Apr

Well, that was it. My laptop's keyboard went totally kaput on me. It started with the enter key on the number pad not working, followed by the period, then the 6, then finally on the main keyboard one of the alt keys stopped...

Let's Just Say It Was a Friday That Felt Like a Monday

Jim Bauer @porwest (98982) • United States 25 Jan

I checked on the news feeds to see if there was an invasion of Gremlins yesterday, but it seems there was nothing out of the ordinary that happened. But I am certain I did indeed encounter Gremlins. My Internet was acting up. Not...

One Last Pull

Jim Bauer @porwest (98982) • United States 17 Nov

Well, we got the camper in a couple of weekends ago to get the toilet valve replaced, add some bolts to a loose stabilizer, air up the tires, and have it winterized. And now it's time to pick it up and bring it home. Well, at...

The quote from the second roofer, who we have used before, was slightly less; and he will make sure all bathroom exhaust fans are vented to the outside instead of the attic. I have decided to go with him. The other company uses...

Another attempt at impeachment?

Bensen32 @Bensen32 (28272) • United States 10 Apr

I have been reading about some in congress I guess who is trying to impeach Trump again. I have always said I don’t know a lot about politics, but I really don’t understand the point of impeachment. He stayed in the office last...

The Tariffs Aren't What You Think They Are

Jim Bauer @porwest (98982) • United States 4 Apr

The panic over tariffs and trade wars is really unfounded when you think about it, and I don't really think people are actually taking the time to really think things through here. Trump's plan has multiple working parts to it....

Jim Bauer @porwest (98982) • United States 24 Feb

Consider this staggering number for a moment if you will. $7 trillion. Yes, that's with a T. That's how much money the government typically spends in a year. $7 trillion. $5 trillion of that is collected in tax revenues. The other...

Jim Bauer @moffittjc That's an interesting observation. Speaks to me on my theory that the majority of people who actually stormed the Capitol were NOT necessarily Trump supporters. Again, I realize I wear a tin hat when I say that. But when something smells rotten,...

Four Years Ago, Today

Jim Bauer @porwest (98982) • United States 17 Nov

It's hard to think it has only been four years since this little guy came into our lives. But sure enough, it's been four years. We picked him up on the farm where we got him and brought him home, and POOF! He ran and hid,...

Jim Bauer @moffittjc If you grew up around a lot of it, I can see where that would affect your "taste" for it. I know my grandfather wasn't a huge fan of fruit much either. Maybe it's hereditary?

I Finally Gave Up

Jim Bauer @porwest (98982) • United States 30 Mar

Rachael Alice @lifecoachjerusalem (1322) • Israel 6 Apr
