Mom's dementia seems to be progressing rapidly, so I am trying to make it a point, especially now that I am retired, to spend more time with her. So, today I picked her up and we went to lunch at Subway and we both got a footlong...

I am usually so good about not having to throw food away. But there have been at least three times I have had to do it in the last month or two, and I just feel like that is beginning to become a trend. And not a good one. Not...

Jim Bauer To me, every penny matters. I am not broke. But the reason I am not is because I take care of my money. So, this bothers me immensely.

Jim Bauer Gosh. That just grates me to no end. But every time it happens it just makes me more vigilant to make sure I am paying attention.

A person in Iowa has died of Lassa fever which is an Ebola-like disease. This person recently traveled to West Africa. Authorities are trying to track down everyone that came in contact with this person. Today my husband's 2nd...

Jim Bauer Gosh. Lots going on over there, but getting your other car roadworthy I think is a REALLY good idea. You may not like driving, but you NEED to be mobile. So, I am 100% on board with you getting to that point. For dinner we made a marinated pork loin with...

Jim Bauer @2ndchances24 Yeah. Here on the site. On this post or a new one. So long as the video is not monetized, you are allowed to share it. I don't think you have to do it, but I always put a disclaimer in at the end of my post that says the following: [i]***Video...

I do a little bit of both. Sometimes I like to wear my house hoes around the house, especially if I have chores to do that requires a lot of walking back and forth. I wear socks on my feet if I plan to sit down of a while to work...

I went down tonight to grab some meat for dinner tonight and noticed everything in the chest freezer was thawing. What the hell? At first I entertained the idea that maybe we had a power out when we were on our camping trip that...

Evidently, this is a ''thing'' now. I got this card in the mail. It's not the first one I've received, but it's the latest one. I stopped and thought it over. And thought some more, so I did a google search on it. Evidently it...

Jim Bauer @MarieCoyle Very true. Yet at the same time, you want people to at least have a good sendoff, even if it is really just wasted money in the end, however unfortunate or cold that sounds. But you'll spend upwards of $3,000 just for the coffin just to bury it and...

I know it's late as heck, but we are just settling down for the night, so I figured I would share what we had for dinner. We had dinner pretty late anyway. We had planned on going to Subway but we didn't make it there in time,...

Jim Bauer I have to say, I do like McDonald's, but right now if it were a choice between McDonald's and Subway, I'd take Subway. Actually, it's been a while since I have eaten there and a Subway club with vinegar and oil sounds REALLY good right now to me. Might have to...

Maybe because Parliament elections are in 3weeks here but in general, i don't like politics or talking about it. I feel about it the same when a person is bitten by a snake, for example,very close feeling to it. How about you?

politics

good feeling or bad

talking

Jim Bauer That is only true if you are dealing with someone with a completely closed mind. I think it is important to share perspectives and more important than that, to listen to the perspectives of others. Just my two cents.

Jim Bauer I very much like to discuss about politics. I actually believe it is very important to be able to engage in these kinds of discussions. We get nowhere if we only hear what we want to hear and ignore other ideas and thoughts about things. It doesn't mean we...

Jim Bauer And as I am reading this we are heading into winter. Although, I can't really say that just yet. It's 80 right now which is unseasonably warm for this time of year, and I am not complaining about that one bit. But I am sure when colder weather hits, it's going...

Jim Bauer @rebelann I'm not buying it. They live in the United States and have the same opportunities the rest of us do. I am not being dismissive of their circumstances, but we won the war. It is what it is.
