Is it possible that too much is TOO MUCH? Here is excerpts from their news release, "The Supercenter remodel features enhanced customer shopping experience in many departments, like electronics, pharmacy and the vision center; expanded assortment and displays; and new features that help customers shop how, when and where they want in store, online or on their mobile devices...

I ran across this series of mini articles about Incubator Farms and felt compelled to share it. No, I no longer seriously consider the option, but I did and still do think about it. This approach to encourage and assist younger farmers to experiment, learn and develop their skills sounds promising...

The way history seems to get re-written worries me that some day the horror and loss of 9-11 will be reformulated to soothe sensitive emotions and to avoid seeming controversial. Look at what the folks who question the Holocaust keep trying to do...

Picked this up originally on National news, CBS. It seems a fourth grader in Florida wanted to support his favorite school on College Colors Day. He did not have official UT clothing so he improvised. You can see the results and he was proud of what he did...

From several sources we learn that ICE was attempting to apprehend an illegal alien (Mexican) who has been caught and deported at least two and probably more times when the suspect drove his van toward the officer. The officer fears he is going to be hit so he fires two shots, the van swerves and escapes...

If you do a search for those phrases you will find them all pointed at Mr. Trump. I was going to include some links but they are front page of Google search so..... why not let you choose your source. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, but a cartoon circulating on Facebook poses an interesting question. ...

I found this through a business network but LOVED it. A football player's team, opposing team and spectators coming together to cheer this player's 80 yard touchdown Nothing more needs to be said but be sure to read the captioning...

My siblings are all still on this earth so when my brother finally retired he splits his time between his home in Maryland, (just outside Washington DC) and Japan, (he was in Navy WESTPAC for 30 years), and we have full reunions more often. I have run up on two occasions to have a 2-3 hour dinner and drive home. This time we spent about 6-7 hours...

Both sides say they want to quiet the hate while spewing hate all over social media. No doubt, some are making political "hay" from the shootings (despicable), but it is more, much more than a few words. Some of us say that hate and killing is a societal issue, not just political. ...

I get reminded of this every time some of our loyal respondents keeps a post going with nonsensical chatter. I have been totally fed up with the news lately and every time I write a post, I let it sit a day or two and then say, "What the heck, why fret about it?"...

Kate Jones set up and sold snow cones during the RC & Moonpie Festival in Bell Buckle, Tn. Besides being a budding entrepreneur, she also has a philanthropic side so she decided to use this as a way to raise funds for the New Destiny Dog Rescue (NDDR) She presented NDDR with a $30 donation...

I am in my garden daily, usually twice, and have been diligently scanning my tomatoes for signs of the worm’s arrival. I went from none seen to 17 picked today and most were the size of my index finger. That has to mean they were there for at least a few days and they are voracious eaters...

I saw a discussion on Facebook turn nasty against individuals so PLEASE lets not go that route. Most of you know my only option is to pull the complete post and that is not fair to others who have answered. Those who oppose the tax increase but complain about minimal "progress" in Bedford County are fighting themselves. Progress usually requires more expenditures on schools, law enforcement, fire protection, road improvement, etc., etc...

This article tells of 661 large retailers who are publicly telling Trump what we all (including the Chinese) know about trade wars and tariffs, but just in our ebay business we see that that playing field is not level. It is heavily in favor of the Chinese. While somewhat painful, something needs to be done. Trump has the guts to try and if these 661 retailers publicly acknowledged that the playing field is not level and supported his efforts, what do you suppose China would do?...

Why the emphasis on the young? Because it is their future that is being bought and controlled. Their future dependency and health, not only of them individually, but the world. One of the few times that I agree with the NYT...

This hot pepper plant is actually going on four years but I think it is the first time I looked closely at the flower. I could get a closer shot but the colors of peppers 🌶 in different stages needed seeds by as well. This is rain has been sooo refreshing and pointed out that I need to get straw in the walkways. MUD! I had forgotten what it was!...

Now that might seem self-serving and to a slight degree it might be, because without the T-G I would have to develop my blog elsewhere, which I could BUT I might have never met YOU. Other than this blog, for which I receive no compensation, I am not an employee of the Times-Gazette so I can promote them without appearing shameful...

I wasn't really gone, nor in bad health, just preoccupied. With what? I won't bore you with details and if something is really misspelled here, I blame my cat Mira. She is insisting on reaching across my keyboard and I am tolerating her right now since I have been ignoring her most of the week. Not just ignoring, I've been shooing her away...

Earlier this week I was passing through and found Larry Stone working on the quilt that has been on BB front parking for many years. It was removed earlier this year when water and sewer lines had to be repaired. i can remember a few years of volunteer work groups touching up the quilt but this was a complete redo...

Here is a creative and useful design by Susie Lu for a receipt that helps you visualize how your budget is being spent and if you are one who actually keeps track of categories ..... well then, this is a slice of heaven. The article sales it all so there is not much reason for me to repeat the details, but I suggest we encourage ANY of our stores that have computers keeping track of our purchases to consider it...
