They would have to deliver

This is true of ANY major business. In fact, profit is the ONLY reason for a business. So yes, of course they seek lowest costs. To not do so would be stupid. They ARE still creating jobs. Unfortunately they are also creating problems like pollution and higher costs for us all.

I find the Old Farmer’s Almanac interesting. I also find it hilarious when it says that January 12 is the best day to plant underground vegetables. Hardly usable advice in places like Michigan where the ground is rock solid. I wish I could dig UP my potatoes from this past year.

Duuuuuuvallll Still in shock that my Bears came back, yet again.

Looks like either Indiana is that good, or Oregon sent the practice squad. Great job, Hoosiers!!

It’s incredibly difficult for me to cheer against the 49ers but, somehow I’m managing to.

Congrats Ole Miss. Sorry Dawgs

Oh yeah. Go Ole’ Miss!!

I’d say that play qualifies as taking the long way ‘round.

Growing up, Caroline Kennedy fascinated me. I’m 3 weeks older so we grew up “together” and I’ve always related to her despite our totally different lives. I’m so sorry for the loss of her daughter, Tatiana earlier today. And sad that the “Kennedy curse” lives on.

Cracks me up....ordered 4 items, all at the same time. Just got the shipping confirmation.....each is being shipped separately (because why save some boxes by putting them in the same one or save shipping, right)? and has a different delivery day. Buying on sale stuff for next Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

File under: glad I checked. I’ve been having a lot of back pain. Yesterday it occurred to me to get out my TENs. It’s really helping. Was going to wash dishes this morning. Decided to check to see if that is ok. Decidedly not. Dishes have to wait 50 minutes. Darn

I’m done decorating. Top ⅛ of the tree is pretty bare. After having a vertigo attack while placing the topper on the tree I’ve decided to stay off the stepladder. I don’t need any more trips to ER for black eyes or broken ribs this year.

Also bought lovely watch bands from a company that brags that it’s a US company that employs women working from home so they can care for their children. Too bad they are all in China. I know several women who would love to be able to make these bands & care for their kids at home in the US.

Tired of buying from “US companies” only to learn that their products are made in China. Woman owned company that emphasizes they are US based,” only to find tag in PJs for pitties are made in China. I guess no women in the US sew or need a home-based job.

Pretty bad when I was able to pick out Gronk but Brady couldn’t.

Has anyone tried one of these Anthros chairs that supposedly supports the pelvis as well as the lumbar spine? I have arthritis in my SI joints (fell off a few too many horses over the years) and I have a lot of pain if I’m not careful. If it really helps, I’ll get one. If not, I’ll save my money.

Hate to close the doggy door but it’s only 8° F out and the idiot dogs can’t figure out that it’s too cold to be outside unless they need to potty. Sigh.

If you are going to limit who may comment on your posts I will be blocking you as clearly you don’t understand what this place is all about.

@ewacat.bsky.social I block anyone who limits response to their posts. If you don’t want responses, don’t post because blocking people goes against exactly what this forum is all about.

Snowing like crazy (not whiteout) big, fat, fluffy lake-effect flakes. Love it. Great day to stay home, finish wrapping gifts, get more decorations on the trees, and watch football. Go Bears! Go Jags! DUUUUUVAL!

OMG, I can’t believe Indiana won!! I placed my first (and last) bet using FanDuel. It wasn’t a big bet but still. I promised myself that, if they won I’d donate my winnings. Now, I need to collect and close the account because gambling is not for me.

Watching the BIG 10 pre-game. I remember going to Indy in December of 2011 to watch my youngest son’s favorite team, MSU, vs U Wis-Madison, my alma mater. We sat at field level looking right at the broadcast team. Great memories with my “baby” boy who is now 34.

Sic ‘em Dawgs The Tide seems to have ebbed.

“Ho, ho, ho, who wouldn’t go”? Me. Scared of heights and tight places. Loved Gene Autry…but this song’s lyrics are literally my worst nightmare.

To all the people on here who limit who may comment on their posts: you suck. Sorry but, if you’re going to CENSOR, do it retroactively. Report and block jerks and idiots. Otherwise you defeat the entire purpose of Bluesky.

Ahh, hot cereal on a cold (frigid at -4) morning. Today is national comfort food day, Chocolate Cream of Wheat was perfect. My mom made it for me often. What is YOUR favorite comfort food or foods? I also love cinnamon toast, buttered noodles with seasoning salt & tomato soup w grilled cheese.

Nothing like a nice hot bowl of chocolate cream of wheat on a cold (11°) December morning.

I really wish more producers of wrapping paper would put grids on the back of their paper. I’m very OCD about wrapping gifts even if 99% of recipients don’t give a fig. Current, are you taking notes?

As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly……

Poor Delilah. She really wants to go out, but she hates the cold. And, somehow it’s my fault that it’s so cold out. Have a great Thanksgiving to my friends and family who celebrate today.

Out cold.

What is going on? First I get international companies asking for tips and now another company added a holiday gift bag to my order. I’d be ok with it except that they charged me $20 for it! The item is for me so why would I BUY a gift bag?

Can’t help myself. After a week of such bullshit (never thought he could go lower but he keeps digging) we need a chuckle. Every time I look at this book I hear Julia in my head with her famous “Helluuuuu.” BTW, it’s a cookbook.

WTF? I’ve now encountered two on-line shops that have requested a tip for their employees. Ironically, while tipping is endemic in the US and rare in Europe, both shops were international.

And, of course she will take months to review everything before clearing anything for release. The loophole also allows her to withhold identifying information for victims.

So, the DHS spent $220 million on an ad campaign that is supposed to help stem the tide of illegal immigrants. Someone explain to me how this works. Because I’m pretty sure that the vast majority don’t understand English nor do they have access to TVs. So, they spent that for Noem’s ego.

Oh my, yes

Don’t mess with Cynthia Erivo or any of her friends. She’s wicked tough! www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

@michiganadvance.com Michigan Board of Education voted in favor of new health & sex ed guidelines. One of the people opposed stated “The only thing that matters is the parents,”. No. What matters are the students. Especially with parents who actually believe ignorance of facts makes them go away.

Ok. Something is off. Now the Mango Mussolini says “release the files.” What’s the catch?

As for Pluxy; woman claims she no longer has to shave her chin twice a day. Honey, if you have to shave your chin twice a day, you don’t need something to remove the hair; you need to see a doctor to find out why your hormones are so effed up.

Democratic Turnout Project has guaranteed that I will never donate to them. To insinuate that I support Trump as king if I don’t donate to them smacks of coercion by shame. Coercion of ANY type guarantees I will have nothing to do with you.

50 years ago today. I was in my dorm room in Sellery Hall at University of Wisconsin-Madison. Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? Were you even born yet?

Damn it, IU.

A1C of 5.4! Yay!!!!!

The only out of control violence in the cities Trump has targeted, is that perpetrated by DHS and CBP.

If anyone in West Michigan is doing what Heretic Coffee in Portland OR (despite the ongoing violence) is doing, please post. I'd love to donate locally. hereticcoffee.com?utm_source=s...

My 5 year old grandson, his brother and dad putting on a Jason Aldean concert. The 5 year old went to his first concert this year when his mom couldn’t go. Needless to say, he loved it.
