Do you drink plant based milk?

snowy @snowy22315 (185405) • United States 9h

I have liked the ones I have tried, but unless you get one that is very creamy, they are not good to use in coffee as they just don't have the fat content Also, I don't like them in certain things because they alter the taste a...

What Do Millionaires Really Look Like?

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 8h

Many people have visions of millionaires that are of people living high off the hog, lavishly adorned with valuable things surrounding them. The reality for MOST millionaires is much different than that. Most millionaires do not...

NJ Chicaa He won't be impeached with a majority Republican House. He wouldn't be convicted anyway with a majority Senate. Trump already has record LOW approval ratings after just 1 month compared with modern presidents. He doesn't care. They are slashing and burning...

I Have a Question......

celticeagle @celticeagle (171528) • Boise, Idaho 21 Feb

We are seeing alot of suing and TROs in court right now. It is looking pretty good as far as stopping things from going forward. But, what if Trump, his cronies or Musk just refuse to do as the judge says? What then? What do you...

No Water

Amber @AmbiePam (96077) • United States 21 Feb

Last night around 5pm our water was turned off. Of course, I tried to reach someone about when it would be turned back on as this was unexpected. At about 8pm we got a text from the complex telling us the water would be turned off...

Chicken Pot Pie Might Become Chicken Pot Mush

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 20 Feb

I have made chicken pot pies in the past and they have always been good. But this time, it seems the pie crusts did not fit the round dish I use for these. I mean, the mixture should be good, and the crusts should brown nicely,...

Do you believe Trump really said or implied that Ukraine started the war with Russia?

The Horse @TheHorse (223356) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Feb

I am reading on some websites that Trump said that Ukrane "shouldn't have started it," or something to that effect, referring to the war with Russia. Further, I have read that former vice-president Mike Pence, chastised Trump for...

About that ice…

Amber @AmbiePam (96077) • United States 18 Feb

Well, they said it was going to get icy, and it did. After the ice, came the snow. Then came the call from a friend who had gone to the store for his wife to get eggs. I thought the call was going to be about the cost of eggs. No,...

Yum, Mexican Baked Fish Tonight one of my favorite dinners

snowy @snowy22315 (185405) • United States 18 Feb

I saw this recipe online at some point several years ago, and thought it sounded good, and it is delicious. It tastes like a restaurant meal easy to make too. You use a small bag of tilapia, top with salsa, shredded cheesecrushed...

Sad That You Can't Even Believe Reviews Anymore

celticeagle @celticeagle (171528) • Boise, Idaho 16 Feb

Several years ago I was friends with a gal who wrote articles online. She and I made a lot of money for a while doing this. She came to me one day with information about a new job she was going to be doing. She was sharing the...

celticeagle @celticeagle (171528) • Boise, Idaho 16 Feb

It seems that egg prices have gone up 153% in the last couple of years. Originally blamed on the bird flu it is now estimated to continue through 2025. Stores are using the hike as a ploy to bring in customers. Advertise a lower...

Arby's Ruined Our Dinner

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 16 Feb

Usually, when it comes to grabbing something out when we are on the go, I have a rule to never do it after a certain time, and usually that's about 2pm. Yet, lo and behold, we got a little bit later start yesterday, and I didn't...

I Finally Figured Out the Mid-Week Puzzle Secret Solution

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 16 Feb

For a long time on Bing, I'd given up on the midweek puzzle, which consists of eight squares you have to put together. A few times I solved it by "accident," but then I did some research and tried it out, and it still takes...

Just Another Day at the Bauer's

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 15 Feb

No dollar signs on the 15th? Should we be worried? I guess we will have to wait and see, but that seems a bit unusual to say the least. Went to Ollies and got a couple of things. I was a little disappointed that they did not have...

It Was a Good, Simple Night

Jim Bauer @porwest (96287) • United States 15 Feb

Valentine's Day is something my wife and I really don't actually celebrate. Both of us sort of feel like it's an overrated grab for money. We have other ways of celebrating our love throughout the year rather than wasting money on...

NJ Chicaa Good to hear that you had a nice time. My ex and I never went out on Valentine's unless it was trivia night. I'd make him a nice dinner and he'd bring flowers home. Good enough.

Trump can pretty much do whatever he wants. The law doesn’t apply to him.

S Adleman @Spatula11 (23) • Los Angeles, California 15 Feb

Twice he was impeached, he was convicted of 34 felonies and didn’t even have to pay a fine. The judge basically said “I’m not going to punish you” he told people to take down the White House because he lost. They were pardoned...
