I’ve always heard the best way to keep the costs down was to keep switching insurance providers. Unfortunately my wife chose to buy insurance from her high school friend

Buddy of mine worked in health care, did urine testing. He’s got stories about people coming in way over the legal limit to drive but come across as sober

Barley was my dog’s name. We were searching for a name when he dove into my Guinness

Sarcastic humor aside, migratory agricultural work is a thing in the US. Some of my friends did it back in the 80’s. Live in a tent on site, earn by how much you pick, save money because no rent and no place to spend. No federal taxes. Blueberries here, apples there, travel to where the crops need picking. Clean fish in Alaska or work on the boats.

Don’t worry. Trump is making sure you can get a job picking crops. You’ll be living in a tent. No rent, not utilities. You’re welcome!

Top. Why would you abandon a mattress if it was all the way at the bottom?

I ask antivaxers I know if they ever turned down a medicine prescribed by their doctor other than the one the media told them to fear?

Yeah any decent sci-fi before Star Wars was heady with little action. Logans Run, Silent Running. Also in my mind I saw sequels in general change from shameless cash grab to better attempts

Bite your tongue. Like a lot of things from the past, they need to be viewed in context

A large magnet. I bought it on a whim ~20 years ago for $20 (still online for same price). I got it on a whim while buying gifts from an educational toy website. It comes in handy whenever I drop something small that ferrous or just need it to hold onto things.

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it’s cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared

$30 minimum wage and two parent households might be able to raise their child themselves

Huh I’ve never seen a wall of these and I’m old enough to remember the 70’s. Glass block was something you replaced your old basement windows with

I had a Radio Shack computer in the early 80’s. When I sent in the warranty card, my address ended up on nerd mailing lists. Compuserve was the only public ISP and access cost $7 and hour IIRC plus it was a long distance call around 50 cents a minute (ask your grandparents). I was able to access the internet for free at public libraries. Had no idea what I was doing but managed to see weather predictions and access Nexus which was a digitized database of periodicals (magazines).

I’m up to 9 so far this year

Keep in mind that even after checking yourself after being in the out doors they may still be on your clothes or in your hair. Check yourself again the next day. It takes them awhile to burrow in

In high school I had a very fine point tip pen for making cheat sheets. One day one of the stoners saw me making one and asked for a copy so I made him one. Later, two other stoners asked for copies so by the time I had to take the test, I had written everything four times and didn’t need the cheat sheet. This is how I learned writing things down is an effective memory tool.

I too use stock for making food for my dogs. I’ll also make jello treats, it’s cheap, they love it, it’s really good for them.

I’d say pour salt into each pot but I fear the plants are the propery of a local nursery and it’s not their fault the store is managed by idiots

I don’t believe anything from these people nor do I necessarily disbelieve. Bannon flat out on video stated their tactic was to flood the media as "they can only focus on one thing at a time ". The stated strategy was to distract the public with BS while they accomplished unpopular things. Bannon himself was an advisor to Trump early during his first term. They too had a public falling out, then by the 2020 election acted as if it never happened.

It’s too easy. Throw everything in the crock pot and in 8 hours you’re good to go. I like to break up the roast when it softens up to let the soup soak in better. My wife makes it. She might use golden mushroom soup instead of French onion. It’s a nice comfort food especially during the colder months
