Whatcha eating this first Monday of June 2025?
Baking, frying, grilling, stewing, or going out
for dinner?
Ham and cabbage with several clean, small red potatoes
thrown into the pot will be tonight's feast. A small
skillet of cornbread will also be on the menu, too.
I will share this meal with a neighbor and probably
a banana later will be dessert for myself.

I had to be out late this afternoon so, I decided to be lazy. Stopped
at Arby's for a brisket sandwich. Not great, but I didn't have to cook.

It wasn't a bad BLT, but the ratios were off. Too much L and T,

BLT at a diner. Spent the day at the hospital with my mother,
listing to her whine that she wanted to go home. I suppose it's
the universe's revenge for all the whining I did when I was a kid.
She was released late in the afternoon.

She was kept two nights. My hypothesis is they couldn't really
figure out what caused the fall so they wanted to make repeated
checks of her labs. And physical therapy doesn't work weekends,
so they wanted her to have a little quality time with them.
I hope she's ok now.
As ok as ever. Thanks.
Falling seems to come with advanced age for some seniors.
Glad she didn't break any bones, especially a hip.

YES! ! ! Much of it is preventable. Grab bars in the shower/tub and
toilet for starters. Nothing wrong with using a walker if helpful.
Drop something? There are tools for picking up so you don't have to
bend. Plenty of tools available to help out.

I'm seriously starting to think about assisted living, but she
doesn't have much money and it'll kill her to leave her house

Funny thing. The last time she had her bathroom remodeled, the
janky company she hired didn't put any drywall behind the acrylic
shower surround. The studs are easy to find.

She doesn't remember the fall, but I think she was getting up
from the rolling desk chair at her computer, caught her foot
in one of the 5 horizontal "legs", and went down. I'm thinking
about getting her a rolling computer desk and a stationary chair,
but I think she'd just try to use the computer desk to help her
stand up.

My father passed last october, my mom is still heavily grieving.
She acts like she's reverted from age 86 to age 6 and has
reclused herself to the house. Her health is good for her age
but she hasn't been eating well and is losing weight. My son got
a new job in Buffalo and is going to move in with her at the end
of the month. If she makes it that long. :/ She doesn't want to
go into assisted living, wants to stay in the house my parents
had built in 1962. They met when she was 16 and got married at
18. Never had a chance to do some life on her own and it shows.
A lot! She's totally lost without my father. If she doesn't start
living life again soon after my son moves in, as harsh as it sounds,
the best thing for her would be to join my father in the
mausoleum.

My mom was 16 when she and my dad married and were married
42 years when he died. She was grieving terribly but one
of my brothers begged her watch his son, her grandchild, as
he started kindergarten. She didn't want to, wanted to
be left to her grief but she said getting him ready daily
for school, waiting for him get out of kindergarten
around noon, fixing his lunch, and him being there with
her saved her sanity. It gave her something to think
about and focus on him instead of constantly grieving
about my dad.
Hopefully when your son moves in that will give her focus
on him such as cooking for him and have someone to talk
with. I'm not implying she'll be his maid, but it gives
her something to do, to think about meals and him coming
home instead of dwelling on her lost life and lost partner.

Everyone is different but life has to go on. What would the deceased
person want you to do? Probably to be happy, not be gloomy all the
time. Miss them? Sure, always will.
If it is your spouse, perhaps you even discussed it. There should be at least some basic ideas of what they want and expect.
I recently spent a week with my friend of nearly 50 years. If there is
a heaven and our late spouses are looking down at us, we know what they
would say. "Look at them, having a great time together, nice to see it"

We were lucky with my FiL. For some reason my BiL's ex wife used to keep
tabs on him. When he failed to answer his phone she went over to check
on him and got the super to let her into the apartment. FiL had died peacefully in his sleep.

Leftover steak. It wasn't thrilling. We had a fair amount of that
tomahawk steak leftover. Some of it had been a little to rare for my
wife last night. I was not inspired so I left it to her to figure out
what to do with it. She sliced up the really rate stuff and fried it up
a bit. She made some scrambled eggs for me and threw hers into a salad.
It was okay. We made a note not to every get another steak that big.

Many winters ago , MIL (120 miles away) phoned us to

He'd had flu, lost his appetite and wasn't eating, so she
was just letting him rest.
Upstairs, we found Grandad in bed, blankets to his

freezing. On the floor beside the bed, were congealed
plates of untouched dinners.
He'd been dead a week. She didnt realise what had happened

I've seen those tomahawk steaks at the meat market and wondered why
anyone would pay so much for what is basically a ribeye with a lot of
extra bone. What is this, the old Flintstone's cartoon, eating like a caveman? Seems silly to me. The ones I see are at least 3 inches thick but then there is all that extra bone that tips the scales in terms of cost. Even at 2", you're mostly paying for the weight of the bone. I don't get it. I buy the occasional ribeye steak but never bone-in.
Again, because why would I want to pay extra for the bone?

stuff and didn't know until later that it was a tomahawk steak. The

We have only one venomous snake in Michigan: the Eastern Massasauga >Rattlesnake. They live in wetlands and generally try to avoid humans.
The two venomous spiders (black widow and brown recluse) are pretty
rare and are only a problem if you go sticking your hands where you
can't see.

We have lots of huntsman spiders. They're big and come indoors, but
are not very dangerous.
Snakes are everywhere in the countryside. When we bought our previous property, my mother-in-law asked the real estate agent "What kind of
snakes do you have here?" She replied: "What kind do you like?"
Nevertheless, in 20 years I've only seen a dangerous snake (dial 911 immediately if you get bitten kinda snake) around 12 times. Once it
came after me and once it slid peacefully past me. The other times it
wasn't that close.
Everyone is different but life has to go on. What would the deceased
person want you to do? Probably to be happy, not be gloomy all the
time. Miss them? Sure, always will.
If it is your spouse, perhaps you even discussed it. There should be at least some basic ideas of what they want and expect.

I asked my mom that, what would dad want. She said they never
talked about life after one is deceased. Which sounded odd
because my father and I had some quite frank discussions about
some things he wanted, he knew he was going first. Was news to my
mom. As far back as I can remember my mom avoided uncomfortable
discussions or ones that require critical thinking and always
said she'd pray about it and god's will will work its wonders
and take care of things.
She's discovering only now at her late stage of life that's not
how any of that works. :/

She acts like she's reverted from age 86 to age 6 and has
reclused herself to the house. Her health is good for her age
but she hasn't been eating well and is losing weight. My son got
a new job in Buffalo and is going to move in with her at the end
of the month. If she makes it that long. :/ She doesn't want to
go into assisted living, wants to stay in the house my parents
had built in 1962. They met when she was 16 and got married at
18. Never had a chance to do some life on her own and it shows.
A lot! She's totally lost without my father. If she doesn't start
living life again soon after my son moves in, as harsh as it sounds,
the best thing for her would be to join my father in the
mausoleum.

If that's a huntsman spider, it looks like a baby tarantula. I used to
let tarantulas crawl up my arm to impress my friends. The hardest part
is just to find them. They cross Nevada roads in the Fall.
Their bite is said to be akin to a bee sting, but my friends didn't know that. Let them crawl on your arm. Don't monkey with them while they're
doing that. Everybody says "Wow!" when you're done.
Try it the next time you find a tarantula.

Conversely, I kill black widows as soon as I find them, or at least, the females. There's a few in my garage, but they're behind heavy stuff.
One other thing, tarantulas don't scurry, they lumber.

I've never been stung by a bee but I'd imagine that it's not too
painful. Probably the fear of being stung is worse than a bee sting. The
kids used to be terrified when a bee would stray into our car. The good
news is that bees seem to be wiped out around here.

The only place I'm likely to find a tarantula is a pet store.
One of my first grade teachers had a tarantula as a pet. We lived in California at the time. When it died she had it cast in clear Lucite
(or something similar) and kept it on her desk as a paper weight. I
always thought that was rather creepy.

One of my first grade teachers had a tarantula as a pet. We lived in California at the time. When it died she had it cast in clear Lucite
(or something similar) and kept it on her desk as a paper weight. I
always thought that was rather creepy.

All I can say is the woman was worried about anaphylactic shock if she
got stung and winding up in the emergency room. They could have at
least pressure washed the area and forced the wasps to build their nests elsewhere. There are still paper wasps building nests outside the

can get quite large.

All I can say is the woman was worried about anaphylactic shock if she
got stung and winding up in the emergency room. They could have at
least pressure washed the area and forced the wasps to build their
nests elsewhere. There are still paper wasps building nests outside
the building where I work. They can be very nasty critters and the
nests can get quite large.
FWIW, you need a proper wasp and hornet spray, and those are best used
at night when the nasty little bastards have returned to the safety of
their nests for the night.
I once had to deal with a nest in the peak of the roof our out family
room. I didn't bother going out there during the day. I went out after
dark and directed a stream of the spray upward. Within seconds I was
being pelted with the falling bodies. The next day I went out and
checked the nest in daylight. I saw no signs of life so I used a pole to
poke at it and dislodge it. Apparently my late night raid had been successful.

I don't want to get shot with a rubber bullet for
looking/ sounding like an immigrant.
I confess to having mixed feelings about the migrants. There is a legal immigration system that allows people to apply to go and live in the
US.... or Canada, the UK, the EU etc. It takes time and money and you generally have to show that you have skills that are needed and the
resources to support themselves. Instead, they want to be able to come
and overstay and a lot of them come with bogus refugee claims.
Some of their stories sound compelling, but they are often fabrications
fed to them by their lawyers and immigration consultants. When an immigration lawyer finds a winning story there is a sudden increase in
the number of their clients that use the same one.
It seems pretty obvious that illegal immigrants are a major factor in
the southern US labour market. Instead of raiding businesses and hauling
the workers away to be deported perhaps they should be arresting and
jailing the employers who are hiring them.

At what cost? I just saw that in Florida, 35% of construction workers
and 47% of farm workers are immigrants. What would happen if they were
gone tomorrow? Who would replace them? What about the crops ripening, stuff the rest of the country needs to eat?
Sure, many should be gone, but be careful how you do it.
Was someone shot because they looked like an immigrant or because they
were among a crowd of protesters? I know of two reporters shot by rubber bullets, one British and one Australian and both very white. My
understanding was that most of the protesters were Americans who are
outraged about state National Guard troops being called in by the
president because the protests had been impeding with work of
immigration agents round up immigrants. It is always a testy issue to
bring in the army to do police work.

Wouldn't it be better for all if they were part of the real economy and
have regular jobs with benefits and paying income tax that than working
under the table and avoiding taxes. The idea of charging the employers
is that it would make them hire only those who can work legally. It is
silly to raid a place where there are 40 illegal immigrant workers and
to arrest them and give them fines, jail or maybe deport them when you
can just arrest the one person who is hiring them. Maybe instead of

My solution would be to not arrest anyone at all. We just all be cool,
not hassle people, and let things flow in a natural manner. As far as I
know, the illegals are part of the real economy. They still pay taxes on
the things they purchase with their hard-earned money. They should be >entitled to proper health care and have their kids educated - just like

Yes, there is some disgruntlement among Native Hawaiians about the

populations into Hawaii.

not that many of them around. Most of the people of Hawaiian extraction

No, Greg. They were all legal American citizens
just trying to escape the civil war about to break
out simultaneously in each of the lower 48 states.
I find it moderately likely the chance of
'friendly fire' on 'crowd control' trained
LAPD from marines trained in urban warfare

The best way to drain the best brains available to the US
The best way to attract the best brains available in the US is to cancel research grants, not allow foreign students to study in America, and put
a dampener on academic freedom. Done, done, and done.

Wouldn't it be better for all if they were part of the real economy and

silly to raid a place where there are 40 illegal immigrant workers and
to arrest them and give them fines, jail or maybe deport them when you
can just arrest the one person who is hiring them. Maybe instead of
hiring illegal immigrants and making them work for minimum or less and
no path to redress the employers would have to over a decent wage and
treat them better.
My solution would be to not arrest anyone at all. We just all be cool,
not hassle people, and let things flow in a natural manner. As far as I >>know, the illegals are part of the real economy. They still pay taxes on >>the things they purchase with their hard-earned money. They should be >>entitled to proper health care and have their kids educated - just like

I thought the problem was that those laws are not adequate. You have a
legal immigration system and programs for permanent residence and
temporary work permits. There are people coming across at the regular
border points claiming to be visitors but who end up staying, and then
there are large numbers of them pouring across illegally.

It does sound heavy handed but we might suggest that is the frustration
of having to deal with seeming endless numbers of people living and
working in the US illegally. I don't like the idea of mass round-ups
and deportations but I don't know what they are supposed to do when the illegals are flooding across with no control. Most of south and central America is overpopulated and suffers from poverty and violent crime. Americans should be able to act to deter that all moving into their country.

A lot of us are aware of that. It's ironic that a lot of people looking
back at WW II bitch and moan about the racism towards Japanese. There
was no doubt an element of that but it pales in comparison to the way
the Japanese treated the Koreans, the Japanese the Vietnamese and
others. A former participant here was Chinese and raised in the
Caribbean. He father hated black people and was very strongly opposed to
her marrying a white guy.
It is not just colour. It can be culture and religion. A lot of people
whine about the good old days in Toronto when there would be help wanted signs in front of businesses with stipulations like "No Catholics Need
Apply" or "No Irish Need Apply". They ignore the fact that Catholic and
Irish run businesses had similar riders about Protestants and English.

such a hang-up with race. Everything's always race, race, race with

You're the one with hang-ups with race.
White people tend to do that. They refuse to discuss/mention/breath race
with colored people. They'll only talk about colored people when they're >among other white people - or when they outnumber the colored person in
a group. I don't know why - it's just what white people like to do.

As I have said, we already have security in place on our borders. The US
is not being overrun with hoards of barbarians/gangbangers/Mexicans.
My suggestion is that you watch your own boarders. I have information
that a convicted criminal/sexual predator will be attempting a boarder
breach into your country on or around the 15th of this month. Please
arrest and detain this bad actor. It would probably also be a good idea
to kick the US out of the G7 group. Please inform the Canadian
authorities on this matter.

You don't? Maybe you should think about the fact that we are getting a
lot of apparently legitimate refugees from some of these countries. My dental hygienist is from Columbia and she is wonderful. Like a lot of Colombians, she came her to escape the crime and gang violence in her
home country. These days we are hearing about Colombian gang members
setting up shop here. While she may be a good example of her culture we
are also getting the other side. We get a lot of immigrants from around
the world. Some of them come from cultures with a reputation for hard
work and scholastic excellence. Others come from cultures of crime,
violence and corruption. In this area we have a lot of Dutch immigrants
and they work hard, start farms and businesses. They build nice homes
and build churches and schools. Two nearby cities are have ended up with thousands of African asylum seekers that they ran out of room for in
Toronto so the bused them down here. What we see where they moved in was drastic increases in welfare, food bank reliance and soaring crime rates.

What's a "soaring crime rate".
Hereabouts, if there are two murders in a year, that might represent
a 100% increase in murder over the previous year.

You must think you're talking to Greg Sorrow. I'm not for raiding
businesses and grabbing people at all. What I mean is that the right
wing is always quick to want less immigration. So quick that the left
wing can be all woke about it and act as if everybody's welcome. But
that leads to immigrants sleeping on the grass outside asylum seeker
centres in the Netherlands, because all the centres are overfull. And
then the UN says "Shame on you for not offering them a bed". I mean to
say there are practical limits.

My step-mom's daughter-in-law is from Siberia. She moved to Sweden with

The news showed many of the protests and they all seemed peaceful. No
word of any arrests for any reason. Seems like scare tactics by the

That doesn't matter, since we are all "suckers and losers" According to
the president. Don't you remember?

Trump worked hard to start a riot, but it sounds like it hasn't worked
so far. Don't worry, he will keep after it til he gets the desired
carnage.

Two Minnesota Lawmakers Shot, One Killed in ‘Politically Motivated’ Attack
Two Minnesota lawmakers were shot and one was killed on Saturday morning
in what Governor Tim Walz called a “politically motivated†attack. The suspect, a man believed to be impersonating a police officer, is still
at large...
State Representative Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband Mark were shot
and killed in their home Saturday morning. State Senator John Hoffman
(D) and his wife, Yvette, who were also targeted by the assassin and
each shot multiple times, survived a similar attack in their home on

Really? I found a table of approval ratings at 100 days; we're
somewhat past that now.
Obama: 65%
Trump I: 41%
Biden: 57%
Trump II: 44%
Right now, Trump's at 45% overall.
How he does with Republicans and Democrats probably doesn't much
matter; that's not going to change very much whatever he does.
He's at 35% among independents.

It is really sad. The man often posts Christian material, yet he is rejoicing in the death of others. No need for anyone to make
disparaging remarks about him, he has shown his true morals and
character.

My suggestion is that you watch your own boarders. I have information
that a convicted criminal/sexual predator will be attempting a boarder
breach into your country on or around the 15th of this month. Please
arrest and detain this bad actor. It would probably also be a good idea
to kick the US out of the G7 group. Please inform the Canadian
authorities on this matter.
