The Police Are on It

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 26 Mar

On Facebook, our community has a page called Metro East Crime, that reports on things happening in and around our area. It was reported recently that a rather strange crime had occurred where the crooks stole every single...

Jeff Moffitt That's hilarious! And funny enough, I always said that if I was going to commit a major crime in our city, the first thing I would do was to go to the police station and slit the tires of all the police cars. They can't chase you if they can't drive! Here's...

How is this possible?

snowy @snowy22315 (186986) • United States 23h

So, I drank some milk earlier this morning, and it was fine. This was maybe 2 hours ago. I took a sip before I put it in coffee, and it was definitely going bad. I mean the milk was in the fridge. How could have bacteria gotten...

Jeff Moffitt I think people wrongfully assume that if something is in a cold refrigerator that bacteria can't thrive or grow. It can, but refrigeration just slows down the process a little. That's why things can still go bad even in the fridge. But you are right, it does...

Let Her Rot

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 26 Mar

Seems that after 30 years, musician Selena's killer, Yolanda Saldivar, is up for parole on her life sentence. At 64 is she a danger to society? Probably not. But does she deserve to be paroled? I don't think so. Murder is murder....

Jeff Moffitt I've have always been one to question what is the purpose of a "life" sentence if it doesn't require you actually staying in prison for the rest of your life. Like, how can you even be eligible for parole on a "life" sentence? She should stay locked up. And...

Will You Be Fooled, or Will You Do the Fooling?

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 27 Mar

When it comes to April Fool's Day, I don't always have a prank lined up and ready to go, and sometimes I do get fooled, although nothing readily comes to mind. Right now I have no plans to prank anyone, although I am always game...

Jeff Moffitt I love April Fools pranks, and every year I say ahead of time that I am going to plan an epic prank on someone, and then I usually forget about it until the last minute and then don't have time to actually pull it off. This year, I want to get my entire crew...

Move Over, Sherlock

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 17 Mar

Sometimes you read about a horrible and tragic event, but what catches your eye more is how they wrote about it. A man was set on fire after a man approached him, threw a liquid substance on him, and lit him on fire, which police...

Jeff Moffitt That's funny. I would have never been able to figure out that the liquid substance was likely flammable.

Tuesday Challenge 03/18/25

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 18 Mar

Yep. The Tuesday Challenge lives on, I just haven't talked about it in a while. Has anyone done it yet? How much is in your envelope? I did change things up a bit in October of last year which was the one year anniversary of...

Jeff Moffitt Awesome, as always! What did you do with all the money you saved last year? And do you have an end goal in mind with all the money you save? I have been investing mine. I assume you are planning on investing yours as well?

Where can that light switch be?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349212) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Mar

Another interesting feature about house-sitting is working out eg how the stove/washing machine/vacuum cleaner works. Where do they keep the tea-towels? Where are the light switches? Power points? In this house there is a remote...

Jeff Moffitt One of the things I hate when I travel and stay in AirBnB houses is figuring out how to turn everything on or off. It always seems there is an odd switch somewhere out of place that doesn't make any sense to me.

TIPS

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 12 Mar

I am not sure if it is actually true, or if someone just made it up, but the concept behind it, true or not, still makes perfect sense when it comes to offering someone a tip. Supposedly the word "tip" or "tips" is an acronym...

Jeff Moffitt Tipping has gotten out of hand, I agree. I generally will tip 15% if the service was substandard, 20% if it was right what I expected, and 25% if I felt the service staff went above and beyond.

The Tylertown, MS Tornadoes

Kareng @kareng (71249) • United States 15 Mar

You may recognize the name, Tylertown--you may not. Tylertown is the city where the flea market is where I have a booth. When I heard a tornado hit, I sent a text to one of the weekend workers and asked if the flea market got...

Camping Begins Again...Soon

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 14 Mar

Well, it's official and on the books. Our first camp is scheduled for the end of April for a three-night stay and as usual, it should be a lot of fun. This time it will be with my dad and his wife, who got a site right next door...

Jeff Moffitt I have a 5-day camping trip coming up this week, from Thursday through Monday. My son and I are going to camp in a remote campground in a national forest, and although it's remote, it's not primitive. We'll be able to drive the truck there and park anywhere...

Old Sayings

Juliaacv @Juliaacv (52759) • Canada 15 Mar

I sent a friend a message a little while ago. I was concerned of their safety as I knew that they were under storm warnings last evening. And yes, I am concerned about their safety. I hope that they are safe and sound. Then I...

Jeff Moffitt Being of sound mind is especially concerning these days, whether traveling or not, or whether in harm's way from storms. There is just so much bad stuff and negative stuff going on in the world, that it's a miracle any of us have a sound mind.

Markings Are Starting To Show

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (113576) • Marion, Ohio 15 Mar

You can see them on the black ones pretty easily now. I will be needing to get something bigger to put them in soon. I might bring an old trough up to the garage and move them there. I can hang the light over them out there. But...

Poor Things is a really strange movie

snowy @snowy22315 (186986) • United States 15 Mar

It is a lot like THe Bride of Frankenstein but has an excessive amount of sexual content. It's almost like a porn film. The story is really weird, and I am not into this movie really. It was nominated for several Oscars in 2024,...

The Fox Often Has Something to Hide

Jim Bauer @porwest (98084) • United States 8 Mar

If you want to know how the hens are doing, sure, you CAN ask the fox. But even when he tells you the hens are fine, it's best to have a peek inside the coop yourself just to be sure what he's telling you is true. Because the fox...

A black mark against me maybe
