Stopped by an Asian supermarket yesterday with my mom. She asked me to look at eggs for her. The store was selling a dozen eggs for $11.99 and 18 eggs for $17.99. I don’t think they were cage free or organic....

Jim Bauer @lovebuglena It was definitely a mandate. Who directed HER to make that decision? Well, of course we know who. Or who she DID work for, anyway. That's NOT to say anyone was up to nefarious business. BUT it also does not belie the fact that a decision was made,...

So, of course, we all know the reason that egg prices have mostly skyrocketed in price recently. It's the bird flu, right, that caused millions of egg laying hens to have to be euthanized. That means, of course, we have a...

Jim Bauer That is one explanation that has been provided. It sounds like hogwash to me.

Jim Bauer How in the world did cows get bird flu? Were they in the same farm as the chickens? @lovebuglena My question exactly. IF the chickens we eat AREN'T getting bird flu, according to the "explanation" that they are kept far away from the LAYING...

Jim Bauer @LooeyVille Typical ghostwriter rates range between $6,000 to $40,000, but it depends on the type of book (for example, biographies command the highest rates of them all), the subject (who you are writing about and how "known" they are [obviously a celebrity...

I’ve been helping my sister-in-law empty out her junk room and, in the photo, you can see a corkscrew which she doesn’t want. It’s made of iron and fits very nicely in the hand. It would make quite a handy weapon if you were...

Jim Bauer @JudyEv Many wineries now use a synthetic cork, and I find those more often than I find an actual cork. But you still need a corkscrew to get them out.

Jim Bauer @lovebuglena I am perplexed. COWS have gotten bird flu. But not a single chicken sold to eat? I will keep trying to make this make sense. But it's hard. lol

Jim Bauer But what about if one chicken has bird flu you gotta kill all the chickens? Does that only apply to those that are together in one area? @lovebuglena Presumably so. Which makes it odder in a way. If we have a dual farmer does he use the same cocks to...

Jim Bauer lol. I mean, I have tried to make sense of it, and I just can't. Some have suggested the farms separate laying hens from the ones we eat and keep them FAR apart. Okay. Still doesn't provide for a logical explanation. I am not saying we are being bamboozled...

Jim Bauer It doesn't make sense. I mean, I look back to mad cow. It affected COWS. Didn't matter if they were milk cows or cows we eat. It affected them all. So, how come the chickens have found a way to immunize themselves but ONLY if they will be eaten? lol

Jim Bauer @DaddyEvil I appreciate your explanation. It just doesn't really make sense, is what I am saying. Not a single chicken we eat is or was ever affected? Not one? Give me a break. I am not saying you're wrong. I am simply saying what you said doesn't meet the...
