Without doubt, the political climate in the USA is volatile. Things have come to a point where some people think it acceptable to harrass or even attack someone wearing political attire that reflects a different opinion from their own.

WHY I’M DUMPING CLUMPING CAT LITTER AND WHY YOU SHOULD TOO

WHY I’M DUMPING CLUMPING LITTER Some years back I switched from regular cat litter to clumping thinking it would be less expensive and make it easier to maintain multiple litter boxes. I’ve used different varieties – brand name, store name, generic, scented, unscented, lightweight. Looking back I don’t know that I saved money since it’s …

Downloaders, Hijacked Browsers, Redirect Virus Nasties

Awhile back I downloaded a freeware program from a (once) reputable website I’d used for years. I trusted them, because I was so familiar with the site and they were very well-known. I downloaded a simple “freeware” program, didn’t think much about that unlike before you now needed their “downloader.” When I went to install …

Inglehoffer Original Stone Ground Mustard – A Review

I never though a lot about mustard, being more of a ketchup fan – until I tried Inglehoffer’s Original Stone Ground Mustard. This stuff is GREAT.
