It's cute that you think government's should tell people what to drive, what type of stove or AC they can use. Since that was soundly defeated in this election, there's a few countries you could move to that still believe in that.

It is a lifestyle choice and yes trying to make the ingredients better and more healthy is a start but in all reality at least from what I see people seem to be less active in the physical aspects of life. I used to see kids playing and enjoying the outdoors not that long ago, nowadays it seems a lot of activities for kids are less physical and more computer based.

Use RFK Jr's example of Fruit Loops that was garbage fact checked and retracted by the MSM. Fruit Loops in Canada use natural ingredients to color the cereal and no BHT for preservation since that is banned there. The US version of fruit loops uses chemicals dies proven to cause cancer over long-term use and BHT. Both products are made in the exact same US plant. The international version of Fruit Loops also doesn't use that crap. I doubt it would cost nothing to change those out of the US cereal since it is already being used at the same plant.

One breakfast cereal is the least of our problems, as long as they leave captain crunch alone I am good.

As long as they don’t screw up things too bad so am I.

I was joking when I said that. We don't have the infrastructure to handle all electric cars anyway. We can't even keep our bridges in good standing, I highly doubt we will see all electric cars in our life time. I don't think the government should be able to tell anyone what type of car to drive, stove to own or AC to use. I want to upgrade to solar but I am not doing it because they require you to still be hooked up to the grid. I don't want that at all. I also am against PA having us get our cars inspected every year. It's just a crappy money grab. I do it because I don't want to get fined. PA revokes your drivers license very quickly and I drive a lot for work.

I love vintage cars and want one when we have more funds. I love Datsuns.

I think it's just happening naturally, for me anyway.

The boards have changed wildly since even five years ago.

A lot of great folks have left or significantly stopped posting.

Let's also hope they leave frosted mini wheats alone. *Fingers crossed*

Not at all, my friend. I got to get up early and help my kids get off to school. Got some pretty amazing hugs from both of them. Had time to talk with my husband before he went to his internship. He was happy I made bacon. Spoke with a gentleman whom I have seen but haven't had a chance to talk with. He was very kind and we chatted for a bit. He has lived in this neighborhood his whole live and his best friend from kindergarten lived at my house. Have a great dinner planned and its a new recipe. I am able to support a family of 4 off my income so my husband can live his dream. I am so proud of him and all he as accomplished. He is a hard working man. I am truly living my best life and am so grateful for it. I hope you have an amazing day, too!

Exactly. There's no reason to get upset about things that don't affect you or that you can't change.

[JosieD]

Made all my phone calls, returned emails, made sure all my notes were in. I don't have anything to do until 2pm and I feel guilty.

MA requires the same.

While I think it's ridiculous I have to pay $35 a year to get my car inspected, I see significantly less cars broken down on the side of the highway compared to when we go down to visit my wife's family in TN, where inspections are not required.

Definitely seems that way. I just don’t have the energy to try and stay civil while not saying what I really want to say. It’s just easier to watch from the sidelines and shake my head.

That is a huge plus! I think PA roads are super hard on cars. We need them to make a PA Suspension kit. I would pay extra for it.

Making a peach bourbon glazed salmon tonight. It sounds very delightful. Got some crown royale to use.

Mississippi doesn’t require them either and I haven’t really noticed an uptick of broken down cars on the side of the highway. If people need their cars for their livelihood trust me they are making sure they are in good running order.

It's definitely anecdotal by me. I'd be curious to see stats on broken down cars in states that require vs. not, if that info is available.

[JosieD]

Spuds, what do you have on your menu for this week?

[JosieD]

My toxic trait is I keep buying bourbon barrel aged beer. It just isn't my thing but then I see one and I am like "that sounds interesting".

No idea what I am making for dinner tonight, leaning towards barbecued pork loin as it is pretty easy to make and I already have the sides of potato salad and cole slaw in the refrigerator I would probably skip the meal and drink the crown royale. You reminded me that I haven’t made Tuna steaks in awhile maybe that will be one of this weeks meals.
