When I worked, of course, there was often a considerable amount of time spent in breakrooms with coworkers shooting the breeze, and of course, there was the occasional argument to be had.
The conversations were the fodder of many...

Not that being a Navy veteran has anything to do with the 4th of July, but I have a couple of Navy hats I like to wear. One that I wear, usually on Veteran's Day, is my USS Enterprise (CVN-65) "official" ship's hat (similar to...

I wanted to use up some leftover pork steak I had. So, I decided to make an "alfredo" of sorts. Not a true one. But a play on the concept and idea of one.
Me follow a recipe? Are you kidding me?
I cut up some red...

The "Pastor Bob Joyce is Elvis" story is a fascinating one regardless of where one stands on whether the pastor could even possibly be Elvis in the ongoing theory of theories that Elvis never actually died in 1977 but faked his...

For several years now, almost ritualistically, I have had a routine of drinking coffee in the morning, water throughout the day, and beer in the evening. But recently, while having a conversation with my wife's cousin, Larry, he...

You see, the thing is, I have spent a lot of time on here talking to people about ways to save money. Right down to the penny. I do it because I know money can be saved, people can get ahead despite their circumstances, and I WANT...

Not that it's necessarily anything new, many washers and dryers are already made in the United States, mainly in Louisville, Kentucky. But GE has recently decided to move it's China production to Louisville under a $490 million...

Spaghetti is one of those dishes that hits our household menu at least once a month. It just never fails to satisfy, and I think it's relatively cheap to make as well and goes quite far providing for more than just one meal from a...

Did you know that a Walmart Supercenter, which are most Walmart stores anymore, keep roughly 2000 carts at each store?
That's a lot of carts.
So, it makes you wonder, when you go to your local Walmart, and the cart corrals are...

There are things that look or seem easy in concept. All sorts of things get sold that are supposed to make something easy harder. No, that was not a typo. I said that on purpose.
Of course, that's not how things are...

Several years ago, someone I went to high school with, who I was friends with on Facebook had passed away, and considering his lifestyle (he was gay), I always assumed he probably committed suicide.
He'd had a string of bad...

So, I've been on for a bit about whether or not the wifey's go ahead to try salmon again (for the record, she's never really liked it) would be a success or not, and last weekend I made some teriyaki salmon on cedar planks on the...

I like to play the bigger lotteries like our state lottery that has a current jackpot of $10,550,000 and the Powerball which has a current jackpot of $128,000,000, but the little twice a day daily draw that starts off at $100,000...
