  • Have A Beer (MM #4785)

    28 APR 2024 · Many people like to have a beer with their dinner. But some foods don't work with beer. I'm not judging, but I feel it doesn't work with breakfast foods. We ate dinner at The Cracker Barrel last night, and I know they've been serving alcohol there for a couple of years. I still find that very strange. Now, no matter the time of day, I usually only eat breakfast foods there. And I can't imagine ordering a beer to go along with my Grandpa's Country Fried Breakfast...

  • New License (MM #4784)

    27 APR 2024 · I don't know anyone who enjoys a trip to the DMV. I've held a driver's license in seven states throughout the years, and the way Tennessee does things just doesn't work. We go to one office to get our car title, registration, and license plates. When you need a new license, you go to a different office. Our DMV is split into two parts, while most states handle everything in the same place. Yesterday, I had to renew my license, and I knew I couldn't just do it during lunch hour. I had to take the whole day off and still couldn't get everything I needed to...

  • Myopia (MM #4782)

    26 APR 2024 · The clinical term is myopia. Most of us know it better when it's called nearsightedness. I've suffered with it for over 55 years. All of my family suffers from it, too. While some people wear glasses for style, those who must wear them to correct their vision usually hate them. According to recent research, our eyesight is getting worse. Doctors predict that half the world's population will suffer from nearsightedness within the next 30 years. And the reason this is happening may surprise you...

  • Watching TV (MM #4782)

    25 APR 2024 · Throughout my life, I've spent a lot of time watching TV. Many people my age can say the same thing. Growing up, I sat in front of the TV before I went to school and then came home and did the same thing. I still watch more than most people. But in recent years, it's not the same thing anymore. While I still watch TV, I'm not concerned if I miss an episode. Sure, I can record it on my DVR or catch it on demand, but usually, I move on. There's always something to watch, thanks to streaming, on-demand, and the DVR...

  • Front Porch (MM #4781)

    24 APR 2024 · About this time every year, our front porch looks like a war zone. For some reason, barn swallows return to our neighborhood yearly to build nests and have babies. Without fail, these birds try to make their nests on top of the pillars that frame our front doors. We've tried to keep the birds away for the last few years, but it doesn't work. We've even placed bird spikes on top of the pillars so they can't build nests. We thought we were in the clear this year until the birds returned a few weeks late...

  • Stump The Schwab (MM #4780)

    23 APR 2024 · I love trivia. And I've always loved watching sports trivia shows on TV. The first show I remember is Sports Challenge starring Dick Enberg back in the 1970s. Over the weekend, I was reminded of another one of my faves from the early 2000s. The show was called Stump The Schwab. ESPN's Stuart Scott was the host, and it featured one of their top researchers, Howie Schwab. Players competed against one another, and in the grand prize round, they had to go head-to-head with Schwab. The contestants rarely won...

  • 4-Day School Week (MM #4779)

    22 APR 2024 · For years, there's been discussion about the advantages of a 4-day work week. It was something that Bernie Sanders campaigned on when he ran for President in 2020. Since the pandemic, more companies have tried it, but the jury is still determining whether it will ever become the norm. But this week, an Indiana school district announced that one of their elementary schools will try a 4-day school week beginning next year. It will join a small group of schools in Missouri and Utah that are also trying this out...

  • Waffles (MM #4778)

    21 APR 2024 · I've got a craving for pancakes, but I might have waffles instead. While I prefer pancakes, I have a Waffle House down the street and may settle for that. There are other places I can go to get pancakes, but they're further away, and their pancakes just aren't that good. While I like Waffle House, eating waffles isn't the same as eating pancakes. I understand why they don't have them, but I wish they did. Sure, there are other things I could eat, but when you have a craving, nothing else will do...

  • Hardware Store (MM #4777)

    20 APR 2024 · I've got a few household projects that I've been putting off. So, it's time to visit the hardware store and get them done. Hopefully, they won't be too difficult. I used to love those honey-do chores. But there's a big difference between doing them when you own versus when you rent. They're small projects, so they shouldn't be too involved. I used to be able to spend hours at the hardware store because I could always find something to set aside for future projects. But lately, I want to get in and get out...

  • My Phone (MM #4776)

    19 APR 2024 · I love technology, and usually, I'm an early adopter. But when it comes to my phone, I hate buying a new one. Some people always want the latest and greatest iPhone or Android. But I like to hold on to mine as long as I can. I still use an iPhone 7, but I know I must upgrade soon. The iPhone 7 came out in 2016, so it's technically outdated as of January. That means it will still get security updates but little else. Every day, I find another app I can no longer use because my phone is too old...
