Arby's Ruined Our Dinner

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 8h

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 (95937) • United States 9h

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 (95937) • United States 22h

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 (95937) • 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...

California May Be Up for Grabs

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 14 Feb

Most things in life that get out of hand eventually come to a head. Let's face it, everyone has their breaking point, and that seems to be becoming evident when it comes to the Democrat party. Even long-standing champion for...

Off to See My Mammy

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 13 Feb

For the record, I have never once ever called my mom my mammy, just to be clear. But I thought it was a fun little play on words for a catchy little title. But I plan on paying her a visit today. Something I have decided to do on...

$2 Trillion

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 12 Feb

That's what DOGE is seeking to find. $2 trillion worth of cost savings to the American public by looking for waste, fraud and abuse at taxpayers expense. While many are arguing "loss of services," what is being targeted are NOT...

A Busy Week Ahead and Hospitalization

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 2 Feb

Well, it looks like it's going to turn into a rather busy week. I have to make some banking trips to get the cash needed for our gambling trip next weekend in Kentucky, plus I do need to grab a few items on my list at Ruler Foods....

Dag Nab You, Walmart

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 1 Feb

Will there ever come a day when I can only ever praise Walmart? Maybe, but I suspect probably not. Look, I like Walmart, don't get me wrong. Sure, their checkers are the slowest checkers on the planet, and their customer...

Found It

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 29 Jan

Whenever my wife and I travel, or there is a large expense to put out, I like to be as creative as possible in determining how it will be paid for. 9 times out of 10, it's the stock market that comes home to deliver the goods. I...

Oh Boy, I Completely Forgot About That

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 28 Jan

And how in the world did I, I wonder? I walked out into the kitchen for an early snack. I don't eat breakfast, but I just felt hungry. I was looking around and saw we had some soup left over, a piece of braised pork, some...

Sometimes You Just Make It Up

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 27 Jan

Of course, this is sometimes what gets me in trouble with @NJChicaa, but hey, as I always like to say, so long as it's good eats, so what if you wing it a little bit? It's not like when I make up a dish I don't have at least some...

Yes, as a Matter of Fact I WOULD Have Dug One Out!

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 26 Jan

Did you know that Five Below changed many of its store's formats to Five Beyond? Well, they did, and I did not know this until we happened to need to stop at our local one for something my wife needed for her cell...

Let's Rationalize for a Second

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 26 Jan

Let's imagine for a moment that I am a very well-respected doctor in your small local community. I have done great things over the years, and no one got hurt. No one died. I actually diagnosed some things, cured some things, and...

Lunch Must Have Had Too Much Value

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 26 Jan

Sometimes you have a lunch that just, for whatever reason, sticks with you much longer than you might otherwise expect. Like our lunch yesterday. We went to a local gyro place we love, just a married couple who run the place and...

Let's Just Say It Was a Friday That Felt Like a Monday

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 25 Jan

I checked on the news feeds to see if there was an invasion of Gremlins yesterday, but it seems there was nothing out of the ordinary that happened. But I am certain I did indeed encounter Gremlins. My Internet was acting up. Not...

Dagnabbit, EGGS!

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 23 Jan

Well, I did make it to Ruler Foods as I mentioned earlier was the plan and got pretty much everything that was on my list. It was a bit frustrating that I did not need potatoes or onions—I have plenty and they're a...

Off to Ruler Foods in a Bit

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 23 Jan

I mentioned to the wife this morning that I would probably be making a Ruler run sometime today. I do have a few items on the list I get from there that need to be replaced like bread, stuffing, butter and a few other things. I...

A Delicious Egg Bake

Jim Bauer @porwest (95937) • United States 23 Jan

Egg bakes, or egg casseroles, whatever you want to call them, are just delicious. And yes, I did happen to have eggs in the house to make one since I was able to find a fair enough deal a while back on some and bought a couple...
