    So Many Comedians (MM #5190)
    2025/06/07
    Some people say that we're living in the golden age of comedy. Of course, they often say the same about the 1950s, the 1970s, and even the 1990s. One thing I've noticed is that we have so many comedians today. Well, at least we have people who think they're funny. Now, I'm not taking a jab at the professionals or even those who try out a routine at open mike night. The people on social media jumping into every conversation and hijacking it, trying to be funny, is causing this problem. I'm sure some have been doing this for years, but recently, I've noticed it happening in almost every conversation...

    Remember Ronco (MM #5189)
    2025/06/06
    Do you remember Ronco? If you watched any TV in the 70s or 80s, I'm betting you do. Perhaps you remember their founder and inventor, Ron Popeil. If neither of those rings true, you might recognize some of their products: the Veg-o-Matic, Pocket Fisherman, or Mr. Microphone. I was thinking about one of their products recently. I was in my kitchen and had an issue with a stuck lid on my Yeti tumbler. All the items in my junk drawer to open lids weren't working. At that point, I needed to see if I could still find a Cap Snaffler. I knew it could handle the task. Sadly, they're long out of production...

  • Settlement (MM #5188)

    Settlement (MM #5188)
    2025/06/05
    Have you ever been involved in those class action lawsuits? I frequently get a settlement notice either via email or from the post office. I'm connected to so many websites that I get one of these things every few weeks. Most of the time, I don't even know if I even have a claim. Sometimes, I'll fill out the paperwork. Often, it's not worth my time and effort. My share of the payout is rarely more than a few dollars and often under a buck. The lawyers are the only people who really profit from the things. There should be a better system. But I doubt anyone will listen to my complaints...

  • Battery Replacement (MM #5187)

    Battery Replacement (MM #5187)
    2025/06/04
    While I love technology, I also like to hold onto my old stuff. People sometimes make fun of me for still using my old iPods. Sure, I've got an iPhone with all the bells and whistles, but I still like to use the old stuff for some projects I work on. But we now live in a world of planned obsolescence. Rather than repair the old tech, they tell you to throw it away and buy a new one. Most of my old gadgets still work. But every few years, they need battery replacement. And these days I can't find anyone who will do it. Even Apple won't touch them, and that's hugely frustrating...

    Severe Headaches (MM #5186)
    2025/06/03
    One of the current trends on TikTok is called the McMigrane Meal. It's spreading the word that people can get relief from migraines and severe headaches. The recommended cure is to drink a regular Coca-Cola with french fries. It may not work for all, but it can't hurt. I suffered from migraine-type headaches for many years. And I swear by a similar 'cure'. My go-to is Coke and Pringles potato chips. I guess I should have posted my version on TikTok. Who knows; it could have gone viral. While these options are exactly alike, they both include two things: sugar and salt...

    Price Change (MM #5185)
    2025/06/02
    When we're shopping, we're always looking for a deal. We're conditioned to look for sales or price reductions. Big box stores like Walmart and Target have conditioned us to look for the big sign shining a spotlight on our opportunity to save. But in recent weeks, news stories told to prepare for increases due to the President's proposed tariffs. My wife and I were shopping the other night, and she was looking at a new shirt. We noticed a price change sticker, but we didn't know the original price until we got home with the shirt. Much to our chagrin, it was a $3 price increase. And there's one likely reason...

    Creamsicle (MM #5184)
    2025/06/01
    Like many kids, I loved it when I heard the bells of the ice cream truck heading down my street. I know they still exist, but they're not something you often see. Now that we have convenience stores, you can get your favorite frozen treat anytime. Back in the day, I had a few go-to choices. A bomb pop or a creamsicle were always at the top of my list. Creamsicles or orange cream isn't always easy to find. But that might change this year. Tastemakers claim that it'll be the flavor of Summer. And from what I witnessed yesterday, I think they're correct...

  • Mud Puddles (MM #5183)

    Mud Puddles (MM #5183)
    2025/05/31
    There are things we enjoy when we're children that we can't imagine doing as adults. For me, a perfect example would be playing in mud puddles. The other day, I watched a kid playing do precisely that. I was driving by, but it looked like he was playing with some toy trucks. I remember doing that as a youngster, but I quickly grew out of that phase. I'm not sure why we're so fascinated with mud when we're young. Of course, we got dirty, and that meant taking a bath, which most kids hate. It's okay to get sweaty as we age, but outside of playing sports, no one likes to get dirty...
