Just checking in to see how everyone is doing?  Everyone staying healthy?  Family doing OK?   So far so good in my household.  I am working from home.  Husband on 3 10 hr days, daughter staying safe, son online schooling.  I head out to the store one or two times a week - as early as possible.  My freezer is full, my cupboards are full- we are good to go.   Hope everyone is well!!!!!

Oddly, in the heart of bourbon country, teeming with distilleries both large and small... there doesn’t seem to be any distilled water. Time to break out the old ‘still. Hope the revenooers don’t find out.  The stores might have distilled water, but it is not available for curbside pickup. I am not going into any stores. Distilling water in the kitchen is rather time consuming so I decided...

Yes ...I have managed to pull off some bone-headed mistakes over the years, yet somehow managed to come out smelling like a rose. Pure dumb luck? I will NOT elaborate on any of the more memorable misadventures. I got a call yesterday ...from a former co-worker. He mistakenly believed I had been some kind of stock guru and he wanted some investment advice. I was unable and unwilling to...

Grocery Shortages Toilet paper shortage... caused by bosses without employees to wipe their butts and like everything else in life... there is a lot of waste during the "training" period. (yes, I have a sick mind). On a more serious note, yes there has been hoarding of many items found in the grocery store. But(t), not sure all the onslaught is strictly hoarding. A lot of people have been...

Country Music has always Meant ..... "fun Times".... And a STORY taBoot !

In the mist of what is happening, I thought I would share with you a video.  This is Anthony Hopkins playing the piano with his kitty.

The local factory, which produces 500,000 vehicles each year has announced they are shutting down for 2 weeks. In the grand scheme of things, this would amount to 20,000 vehicles not being produced. Of course, the press release says that all employees will be paid during this period. Sounds good, but... Not all people working at the plant are "employees" of the company, which is about...

Learning to be a hoarder is not that easy The old freezer died, so after panic rearrangement, stuffing the refrigerator freezer and cooking, grilling etc., some stuff was thrown away. Meat, poultry, frozen vegetables, etc.  Of course, I could have bought a new freezer real quick and saved a lot, but no... apparently people are hoarding freezers, as everyone is "out of stock". They...

For some reason that quote popped into my head. It may have a more correct attribution, but I remember it from that guy and for the record is wasn't poop. The word you are thinking, was much less used in those days, especially from him. I use virus software on my computer... will it protect me from covid-19? Sports My most sincere apologies for possibly misleading anyone from a statement I...

Inflation My life is so exciting!! I checked the inflation report this morning, which always provokes trips down memory lane. Yep, I can remember when things were cheaper. Although I can also remember when some things (very few) were higher. Gasoline looks to go lower than current, as does restaurant spending.  I don’t drive very much, and restaurants are fast becoming a thing of the past....

The Democratic Primaries are nowhere close to being finished, but it is never too early to talk Vice Presidential nominees, imo. Sure, many names come to mind, but who would help the ticket the most? BTW, I am ignoring the potential/actual impact of covid-19 and stock market gyrations. Making election predictions based on either of those would entail talking about the lives and livelihoods...
