macdingolinger That's totally crazy! maybe shoot it with a pellet gun or a bb gun to make it run away and stop eating shrubs, but a grenade? That's a little bit too much I would think. Plus he put people in danger by using an actual grenade. I hope your foot...

macdingolinger I would think that it would be much better to take the time to be prepared before launching out into an opportunity like that. It will better prepare you for what lies ahead and all the more profitable opportunities that might come along. In some regions here...

North Korea apparently wants war with the US.

mentalward @mentalward (14690) • United States 29 Mar 13

I haven't read the entire article but I've read enough to know that this is worth keeping an eye on. "North Korea says missiles on standby to strike the US." Why??? This is my biggest question. What do they want, to take over...

macdingolinger I do not think they are going to do anything. It's just mindless chatter BUT my fear would be that China would side with them - that's the only way they have a chance at anything at all. Plus they would most likely attack US bases in South Korea and Japan or...

Make More Money vs. Getting Rich

bloggeroo @bloggeroo (2167) • Philippines 26 Mar 13

macdingolinger I do write articles for a living. I had to find some way to make a living when my son was injured severely in an automobile accident. It took some time, but now I have a pretty decent little writing business. I'm not rich - but I am able to keep the lights on...

macdingolinger Soy powder might work. I would think the powdered milk would not be that big of a deal. I'm trying to remember if I have some recipes that do not call for powdered milk in them. I am sure an internet search as suggested would turn up plenty of options.

macdingolinger What about something that is related to school, like pencils with a South African flag on them? That might be inexpensive and easy to transport - or perhaps an eraser would be a good gift. It is difficult to know what to take to another school!...

macdingolinger First of all, not everyone in the US makes $15 per hour! The minimum wage is $7.25 I think or somewhere around that. The trouble is that housing, food and utilities are steadily rising as are the costs associated with having a vehicle. I do think that most of...
