. . . how every stinkin' ad on tv is someone begging for money?  This is because the biden "assministration" has completely and utterly wrecked our economy for everyone but themselves. 

Every OTHER ad is for someone begging us to send private donations to Israel. 

Let me tell you something.  Israel is a helluva lot better off than we are (economically) right now.  I went to the grocery store a few days ago and picked up  about 7 items and it cost me over $150.00!  I nearly passed out and I only bought FOOD, no junk, no laundry stuff, nothing but food.  It's incredibly expensive if you ain't shopping at walmart and supporting the chinese assholes.  No wonder biden is kissing their asses in public.  Trump is making friends not kissing asses.  biden is flat-out kissing their ass, as well as iran, saudi arabia and several other middle eastern countries who certainly do not need our money.   They stole all the weapons dumbass biden left behind when he yanked our troops out of Afghanistan with absolutely no back up plan in mind at all.  He is a disgrace to the entire world.  He can't talk so he just signs things.  ASSHOLE.

Something else that has gotten more expensive is ANY KIND OF INSURANCE.  My AETNA (which is good coverage)  has gone up a total of $56 in the past 3 years (that's monthly).  I live on social security I cannot afford for prices to KEEP going up.  I am curious how much my bill is going to be from my little weekend trip to the ER that'll probably shock my socks off.  I don't think AETNA pays for ER visits.  YIKES!

Will keep you updated on my clinic visit later today when I get back.

WHY are doods from Mammoth Nation having a booze commercial where, at the end of the ad, the guy says "save a horse, ride a cowboy"???????  WTH does that mean?  I do not like the implications actually.

I usually order stuff frequently from Dr. Mercola.

Since I've been in the process of moving I have misplaced the piece of paper with my log in information for his ordering site and now I cannot place an order and there is NO WHERE on his site to tell them that.

What a rip off.  When these places do not give you the option to communicate with them, it's doom for me.  I have misplaced a lot of stuff just recently making a move I really didn't wamt but my kids insisted.  Pretty sure that's why I passed out the other day (stress) related) and ended up at the ER for about 4 hours.  I'm fine now but the weather has been so bad here I cannot get out and about to get stuff I need.

Why do places like that (Mercola's) offer all kinds of shit to buy and then they cannot perfect their ordering sites to the point where you can communicate with them?  There is no FAQ page or anything.  I'll just order from Vitaost from now on, they don't subscribe to all that nonsense.

Sorry, not ordering from Vitacost either, they have raised their prices (before biden leaves!!) and I can no longer make excuses for spending that money.

. . . our biggest, lying asshole president ever in history.  He is cementing his dirty deeds as he's on his way out the door, pardoning his GUILTY son, destroying and selling off the "border wall", trashing Trump's name any way he can.  He has, as I've said before, descended into his second childhood of "nah nah nah nah nah nah".  Jill is as bad or worse.

Well, if you're fat like whoopie, yes she SHOULD BE CONCERNED.  SHE'S A FATSO and there's absolutely no denying that.  She's out there eating steak when the rest of us can barely afford hamburger but she had her widdle fewwings hurt, oh my!

She is disgusting.  Other than a couple of nun movies she made in the 1980's she really has no career except taking others down.  Since when did THAT become a carreer?  Quite a while for a dittohead like her and she and the rest of her asinine pals on the view.  Those ladies are too stupid to function normally so they have to prey on other people.

I ended up in the ER this weekend so I haven't been posting too much stuff.  I passed out and we still aren't exactly sure why but the doctor suspects my BP dropped way below normal limits.  I agree.  We were at my house moving stuff out and I just sort of tipped over.  I don't even remember much of what happened until I was at the ER with my son.  Since I was able to answer their probitive questions, I was allowed to go home and take it easy for a few days.

That means the move will be slowing to a crawl again for a while, not to mention the weather is growing nasty.  Starting today we've had snow, varying amounts at varying times.  Some places there is just a skiff and other places there are shovels going all day.  I'm sure the kids are all glad to be in school to avoid the work!

Still moving.  My gawd it seems this will never end!  That's what happens when you share a life in a home for 25 years, lose your husband and then your kids move you out of the house because it's for THEIR best interests - they help you move for 1 weekend and then they take off and I'M stuck doing the rest all by myself.  I just don't have the energy since I hurt my back, and no one is offering to help.  Luckily, everyone is back at work!  I' glad of that, but it doesn't help me one bit.  I am slowly moving a bit at a time, but I do not have the strength to move 2 more beds, another couch, tons of books and 2 closets full of clothes.  Still a bunch of boxes setting around, too, and I have no clue what's in them because no one marked them.  Lovely.  Then they call and yell at me for not getting more done!  I've about had it with kids, I can tell you.  It really shows you what they are all about when this sort of thing takes place.

Today I am going to the grocery store for the 1st time in 3 years (not having my stuff delivered) with my friend Beth and my grandson who is coming to stay with me to help a little with some of this stuff.  He's kinda puny right now but he will be some help anyway and at least I'm not alone for a change, that also gets tiring.

Will keep posting updates!

And, what are we thinking, AS A COUNTRY, to let Danny Penny stand trial for something we all know he's not guilty of?  I mean, really, what the hell are we thinking?  Do you suppose anyone will ever again step up to help YOU or anyone else if they are in trouble?

The biden assministration has just made a mockery of heroism.

But please tell me you're not surprised that those idiots would worship at the alter of hunter biden's ridiculous life rather than support the bravery of a hero who is probably going to go down in flames in the courtroom.  Now the father of the "victim" is suing Penny and he will probably get away with that mockery, too.   I do not understand why the jury is sitting on this for so long without a resolution?  What the hell is the hold-up?  Are they being paid to waste time for the biden's so they can think up more crap?  That would be my guess.

This is an AMERICAN DISGRACE.  The biggest disgrace is, however, hunter biden.  The little shit isn't going to have to "pay" in any way for his life of debauchery or his theft from foreigh countries who were trying to buy his father's help.  It makes you wonder how joe biden could NOT have won the 2019 election with all those foreign dollars pushing him into an office he was not capable of having and we the people of America should have been able to see it, but the dimwit dems want power so badly they would have put Mojo the Monkey (or even Nazi Nannzi) in office rather than give up that power.  Thank God we now have sanity back in about 1 month.  I can't wait for the future I was dreading only 6 weeks ago.  I'm excited to see what's going to happen next with Trump!!

biden is going to spend as much of our money as possible on his way out the door.  The ultimate middle finger to the country who has basically supported him and his family since he was 18 years old.  He's spending all of the social security money he can get his hands on.  That's gratitude for you.

The guy is the head of a crime family and yet we do not just boot him out of office to let in Trump, who will fix the whole mess as quickly as possible.  I have faith in him to do that, he's done it before but no one seemed to recognize it until we had this criminal biden family running things.

You don't know how good you have it until you don't.  Now all we have to do is get a cabinet in place under Trump who will work WITH him, not against him like most of his previous cabinet members.  There were a lot of good ones, but there were a lot of stinkers, too.  GET RID OF THE STINKERS.

Even the idiots at MSNBC like Chuck Todd are blaming biden for his messed up policies.  But, you know, he SUPPORTED HIM all the time he was running for office, didn't he?  Sure did.  PLEASE don't take any of this word salad crap as truth even now.  Democraps are known to be liars lately, biden however has been a liar all of his life.  It's just that now we can blame his age.  He's always been (also) incompetent.  Why all of a sudden are the dimwit dems finally coming to realize all of this, and the way they have trashed the USA?

And then there's the whole favorite son story about how ol' joe has done a sweeping pardon for hunter.  Please tell me you knew this was going to happen, ok?  I think anyone with half a brain knew something like it was coming, we just didn't know how long it would encompass, but 10 years? Really?? 

This is gonna backfire on the biden's however.  You should read what Jonathan Turley has to say about all of this, it's fascinating to follow the legalities of it all.

Mike Johnson sees it and has seen it for some time.

You gotta read the article that goes with this, too.  For someone who stirred up more contention than anyone in the WH for the past 15 years they sure used the word "peace" a lot.  Who do they think they're kidding? Joe is busy still giving our money away but not helping our own people who are still suffering from the hurricane damage, tornado damage, fire damage, etc. from one coast to the other. No he's giving billions of our tax dollars to Angola.  The asshole is a real patriot isn't he?  And we wonder why our social security benefits are in danger.

I was just listening to an ad on tv for Zicam cold remedy stuff.  The ad says "shorten your cold with Zicam".. 

Well, seeing as how you have no idea how long that cold would have lasted with or without the Zicam, I'd say that's a pretty safe bet, wouldn't you!! 

This is how advertising works. 

Whether it's something from a doctor or something from the "natural health world" it's all a scam.  I went out into my vitamin bin today and tossed out a whole bunch of bottles of vitamins, kept the Vitamin D3, K2, Fermented Fruits, Fermented Veggies, and now that cupboard has a lot more room.  I guess time will tell when I go to my next Dr. apptment in April of 2025 and have my bloodwork done.  If I'm low on something, it's usually something like sodium (I drink a LOT of water and tend to pee a lot) so I am often low on sodium.  I don't order that stuff on tv (constant commercials) called Balance of Nature because I'm not sure it's organically sourced, and I'm also not sure it's fermented, which makes all the difference in the world.

Right after the stroke in 2019 my heart doctor told me to be sure to add sodium to my diet in many forms.  I had been using Himalayan Pink Salt (which I have since discovered does not contain the all important sodium) although I do like the fact that it supplies numerous other benefits that you won't get with regular, awful "table salt".  So, until April's check-up, I'll keep doing what I've been doing minus a few useless vitamins.  I think the minerals are probably more important (and lacking in today's foods) anyway. 

You should go online and compare the differences between what vitamins do for the human body and what minerals do for the human body.   It's an interesting
venture.

Why on earth are we sending biden all over the world (on the taxpayers dime, of course) now???

I mean, it is a bit late, doncha think?  He should have been doing some of this when he still had at least a couple marbles left, no?  He will only go overseas and mess things up, that's what. He is pardoning lots of crimimal "friends of his" who would otherewise be serving jail sentences.  He is a clueless jackass.

He and jilly the misunderstood "doctor" (her mission is supposedly education, not medicine) but she did nothing but destroy our educational system since the day SHE got into office.  I can't think of one single thing these people did for four years except screw things up and make a huge mess in our country and now most people think Trump is going to straighten out the whole mess in one day?  Good grief.  He MIGHT be able to get a lot done in 4 years but he isn't going to be able to undo all the damage caused by the biden harris free-for-all.  It's sad.  Now the dems will be able to blame the repubs for all that went wrong during the biden administration and the republican party will be right back where we started.  Heck those idiots are already talking about running AOC for president in 2028!  OMG, nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.  We cannot let that happen.

I love stew but I'm also kinda boring about it.  I like the stew meat pre-fried in my frying pan on my own stove made with either coconut oil or olive oil, then I like to add everything at once to the slow cooker.  Raw onion, raw potato chunks, raw thinly sliced strips of carrot so they get done faster (these are my favorite part!) fairly good sized hunks of celery so you can find it when this is done cooking.  If you cut celery into small chunks it just sorta disappears as it's "stewing".  This is a good recipe to follow, especially if you're a newbie to cooking (which I certainly am not!).

https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/slow-cooker-beef-stew/?

My grands like this served over noodles OR the suggested biscuits.  I still use Jiffy Biscuit mix, believe it or not.  A great biscuit is hard to make unless you like them to be as hard as a hockey puck!  I add an extra egg yolk and some extra butter to the mix and then I butter the top of the biscuit right before I add the stew!  YUM !!!!!  Making my stomach growl....

I can't wait to get to my son's so I can see all my grands!  They drive me nutz when they're all together but they're my LIFE now that my DH is gone the past 4 years.  Sure glad my son didn't move to FL because we ALL thought about it, but then we decided after the hurricane to cool our jets on that idea!
