  • Do you have a garage? Fill them with different sizes/kinds of nails, screws, bolts, washers, cup hooks, eye bolts, zip ties, and any type of “fix it” supplies, and put them on a shelf. If they’re located conveniently, you’ll never need to repair anything because it acts like an insurance policy.

    If the shelf is awkwardly high and just out of reach, you’ll appreciate having nicely organized supplies as you balance on an upside down milk crate and lean precariously over random garden tools Final Destination style because you had a couple drinks and decided this was the day you’d finally fix that second floor window shutter that rattles loudly when it storms and the wind is just picking up so if you hurry you won’t have to listen to it again.

    My mom used to do arts and crafts things with gourds. When she passed there were easily over a dozen laying around the house plus a giant one she had started prepping, but never finished.

    She was cremated, and the plans were to bury her in the plot she already had next to my dad. State or county requirements, however, that works, allowed us to be the ones to dig the hole to actually place her urn in the ground. When the time came, her five children, their spouses and many grandchildren gathered to dig a great big hole in the ground. We ended up taking the big gourd that she had been working on and placed it in the ground, then as we filled that with dirt we placed her urn inside the gourd. In the end everyone took shovelfuls and handfuls of earth and covered her up.

    I can never look at a gourd without thinking of my mom.





  • I’ve got the feeling that Epstein probably made a routine of getting himself close to other rich and famous people for the purpose of befriending and trying to see who would take the bait. I doubt he offered children to everybody who boarded his plane, so he probably started with little things (like a foot massage) then guaged the person’s reaction and offered from there. That someone flew on his plane I don’t think automatically makes them guilty, but I would look closer at the people who flew in his plane multiple times.

    Side note, as a massage therapist toenail fungus is extremely common. Also, the presence of sock fuzzies suggests a brand new pair of socks. If anything, most of the people that I’ve met that have toenail issues are extremely self-conscious about the way their feet look and aren’t very comfortable exposing their feet to strangers. According to the article it was Epstein’s idea, so that just makes me wonder if it was part of his game to put Growing in a compromising position for future black mail.




  • Bonus points - she throws some left leaning Democrat “friendly” under the bus at the same time, creating a bigger distraction. “Trump did nothing wrong, but take a look at what THIS guy did over here…”

    Don’t get me wrong, all the guilty in this mess need to burn. All of them. Whoever they are or wherever they’re from, it doesn’t matter. But I can absolutely see them cherry picking the right flavor of guilty person to take the heat off of Trump for the time being.






  • Your heart pushes water and nutrients out to the extremities and then the lymph system returns excess water and waste so that the liver and kidneys can filter it while making the cycle again. When circulation is poor or the heart is weak or other complications, the body has a hard time returning some of that fluid back into circulation to where the body can get rid of it naturally. This is the result. It can just sit there leading to skin breakdown, or even infection.


  • Where I find this behavior most infuriating is on walking/biking trails in the forest preserve. Like, seriously!?! I get the desire to listen to something while exercising or just having your “you” time, but when you’re riding a bike that cost thousands, you can probably afford some bone conductors or at least ear buds that offer a hear through option. Hell, the expensive units refurbished on eBay get pretty damn cheap.
