    Winter 2025 weather outlook January

    It's been quite warm here for this time of year too. But the weather man on the noon news says that that is about change and get quite cold in the next few days. So I'm on my way to run errands and get things done so I can sit out the storm when it arrives. We had 40 mph wind gust here last...

    Salad Dressing(s)

    The Lazy Grandma's Holiday Cranberry Salad :p This is a Jello concoction that if purchased at a Grocery Store Deli is quite expensive. A 16 oz container at Kroger is now $5.00 dollars. At these prices, people will just eat their money and save a trip to the store. It wasn't long ago when...

    Men and their feelings or lack there of

    It isn't about the world or any others caring about one person's feelings/mental health, it's about each man caring about his own and learning to handle them in a constructive way for himself. I've seen too many men trying to fake their own identity by trying to act like Elvis, or John Wayne...

    Men and their feelings or lack there of
