The trick about ants, is to make your kitchen ant proof. Put EVERYTHING edible by them into sealed containers. It doesn't have to be much. Ziploc bags work fine. Any kind of meal, of anything sweet. Salty snacks, don't worry about. They won't eat them. If you do have ants, follow the trail, see where they go. They…

Wrap a big fat rubber band tightly around your wallet. This makes it much, much harder to get out of you pocket.

First time I ever bought gas, it was 19 cents a gallon. Of course, I was only making $1.25 an hour. That would have been in 1959. That's about $1.99 in today's money.

Maybe because everyone is lying to hide the real facts?

Just find a scenic river close to you that has canoe rentals, and go for a family camping trip. I'd recommend the best one near me, but there are already too many people.

We should talk to Tricki Woo about that.

Hay, Claire. Do you know why Eagle Brand is so expensive?

She’s getting too old to bother with them now. But our Momma Chihuahua used to have great fun finding beetle grub worms. She would walk around the yard with her nose down in the grass. Sniff, sniff, sniff. Scratch, scratch, scratch. Chomp, chomp, chomp. Repeat.

This isn’t about happiness. More about how nothing changes.

Wonder how many readers just went "Donovan? Who he heck is Donovan?"

As a young teen, I used to love Heathkit. I built a table radio, and a very nice stereo system/record player. My only problem was, I am a bit color blind. So my Mom had to sort all of the color coded resistors and parts of me. That was before the computer age. But I would have built one if I grew up when computer kits…

But what do I do if I don’t have a tennis ball, plastic tubing, trigger clamp, paint stir stick or the only zip tie I have is a tiny little one?

Don’t buy a black car??

“without getting sticky watermelon juice all over little faces”

This was waaay back when you could still buy M80's and Cherry Bombs legally. I worked with a couple of idiots that liked to go fishing/drinking on a local river.
