You're asking me?! Actually, here's some advice:

People need to be listened to -- preferably agreed with -- more than anything else. If you could do one thing for someone that would be it.

Controlling a bad habit can be like controlling a car. You have to get inside it and take the wheel. Rising above it doesn't always work.

Personal observation and experience is the only way to really know something. Everything else is just what you THINK you know.

Don't get caught up in how stupid everyone is. Ironically, that just makes YOU stupid.

Comparing anything in nature to anything man-made is an insult to Nature. Translation: We're not worthy.

If you ever want the car in front of you to speed up, just try passing him!

Want a red light to turn green sooner? Try texting a message. It'll turn green way too soon!

There is no surer way to look old than to try and look younger.

Women wearing spandex in public need to just stop. Yes, even the good-looking ones. Wear real clothes. Do you know how many accidents you've caused because men were staring at your, uh, spandex?

Is it just me or do those NorthFace logos look like a bird crapped on your shoulder?

Just noticed I've apparently been walking around all day with a BIG tear in my shirt sleeve!

Be careful with dumbing yourself down. Before you know it, you'll "succeed." Just a bit of advice, if you're one of those who does that for the sake of your idiot friends.

People need to be nicer. No more dog eat dog. It doesn't need to be socialism, but can we at LEAST aim for NOT sociopathic?!

Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; Responsibility for all your actions.

Intellect is great, but don't fall too much in love with it. It's just one of several tools we have for navigating/creating our lives.

If anything is learned, it's not time wasted.

The person who knows they're neither superior nor inferior to anyone is a well-informed person.

Life is like flying: You have to keep moving and make constant adjustments but there's always time for a few loop-de-loops!

You want heaven? Be an angel.

Advice to High School Graduates

by admin - 2011-07-15 ( life / help / advice / schools ) [html version]

To anyone teaching or raising kids, of any age, here's some advice dished out at a high school speech about 11 things they did not learn in school. He talked about how feel-good, politically correct teaching has created a full generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

" Life is not fair -- get used to it.

The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping-they called it opportunity.

If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one."

Why the Rich Don't Give to Charity

by admin - 2013-03-25 ( life / help / charity ) [html version]

I thought this was quote-worthy: why-the-rich-dont-give

"Last year, Paul Piff, a psychologist at UC Berkeley, published research that correlated wealth with an increase in unethical behavior: "While having money doesn't necessarily make anybody anything," Piff later told New York magazine, "the rich are way more likely to prioritize their own self-interests above the interests of other people." They are, he continued, "more likely to exhibit characteristics that we would stereotypically associate with, say, a-holes jerks."

"It's ironic, really. You'd think that millionaires and billionaires would be some of the most generous people on the planet. After all, they could literally withdraw all their money from the bank and use it to insulate the walls of their palatial mansions. They could heat their houses by lighting bales of bills on fire."

Virtual Gym Helps Weight Loss

by don - 2013-04-02 ( life / health / fitness ) [html version]

This one's for those too lazy to actually work out. :)

"Regular visits to a health club in the online virtual world Second Life appear to help shed the pounds in real life, say exercise scientists. Participants in two 12-week weight loss programmes - one real, and one online - lost similar amounts of weight. Indiana University researchers told a conference that confidence and motivation built in the virtual gym continued in normal life. A UK psychologist said mixing online and real world support might work best."

Shaking While Braking

by bill - 2013-04-22 ( life / help / maintenance / auto ) [html version]

Three and a half hours in the Pep Boys waiting room is always time well-spent, wouldn't you agree? :) I'm home now, appreciating the comfort of my office chair, but Pep Boys seriously needs to consider putting more comfortable seats in their waiting area. I did get some things done while waiting, at least. I knew it'd be a while so I brought my laptop. Luckily, they provide free wi-fi. Who doesn't these days?

I focused on my book-related online chores like updating my Amazon Author's page, figuring out how to publish a Kindle ebook to hard copy through CreateSpace, etc. The laptop battery held up for most of it, but by the end both the laptop and iPhone batteries were about to die.

I had printed out several Pep Boys coupons ahead of time, not sure which one would apply. Naturally, I didn't print out the one for 15% off brake parts, the one I ended up needing. [The cashier ended up running it through manually as a "military discount" which, I guess, is 15%.] Other than an oil change, we weren't sure ahead of time which one I'd need.

Tara's Honda Accord's front end was "shaking while braking" pretty badly at high speeds. It seemed fine to me this morning as I drove it, but I never took it on the Interstate. Tara thought the tires were the problem. Other than one of them being low, I thought the front-end alignment might be the problem. Turns out we were both wrong.

Luckily, Tara suggested that I pull up the 15% brakes coupon on my smartphone and show them that and see if that would work. It did, saving us us $50!

It's nice having a smart wife. :)

How to Drain a Toilet

by bill - 2017-08-31 ( life / help / maintenance / advice ) [html version]

I realized halfway through the task of draining the toilet that I didn't know how. I'd never done it before. I've drained the tank plenty of times, but not the toilet bowl itself.

It all started after I had to use a "snake" to unclog it. The snake left marks. My wife bought some "Bartenders Friend" or whatever type of cleaner. But first, the bowl needs to be drained. Anyway, here's the solution

Scotty Kilmer Explains New Car Repair

by don - 2019-03-10 ( life / help / maintenance / auto ) [html version]

You probably can't fix it yourself, and your mechanic might not be able to, either. Almost a metaphor for our times. See Scotty Kilmer explains new car repair.

By the way, this guy's great. In various places he says: Honda makes the best engines but Toyota makes the best cars. The Ford 150 is the best mid-size pickup, followed by Toyota Tundra. Toyota Tacoma is best small pickup, followed by the much cheaper Nissan Frontier. The Toyota Camry & Corolla are the best cars, with Honda Accord and Civic close behind. Stay away from Chrysler/Fiat, anything European, and Nissan cars (not trucks) after 2000.

Cloth Masks Don't Help

by bill - 2020-10-30 ( life / health / covid / masks ) [html version]

The only masks that MIGHT help against covid -- if it even exists, the CDC doesn't have a sample -- are the N-95 ones which almost no one wears. The masks most people wear (the only type mandated) only protect you from disapproving stares. "Cases" only indicate people "testing positive" which means they have nothing more than the common cold or flu, most likely, so they have coronavirus antibodies in their system. The common cold is a coronavirus. Some say we ALWAYS have coronavirus in our systems on some level. covid's alleged one-third of one percent fatality rate does not rise to the level of a "pandemic" or even an epidemic.

I actually read Williamson County's (Tennessee) "mandatory masks" press release. And, it doesn't apply to anyone under 12, anyone at worship services or church activities, or any government employees (unless they're in a location that does specifically and separately mandate that). In other words, it's all bullsh*t and they know it, but we're supposed to be too stupid to see that.

We bought the "Lumber" item just the other day at the Giving Machine in front of Nashville's Bridgestone Arena as my wife's friend Andrea Ballard sang Christmas carols nearby.

Be STRONG, be SMART, be SOFT, be SIMPLE.

That's it.

And don't confuse "soft" with "weak" or "simple" with "stupid." Simplicity is the hallmark of genius.

Helping to Harvest Olives in Esparto

by bill - 2022-10-18 ( education / research ) [html version]

Hard work is fun! :) Elizabeth and I both like olives, but hates them. She loves Greek food, but always orders it without olives... or picks them out if she forgets to order it without.

yes, it was hard work

the maid of honor at our wedding, Jenn, knew the owner from rock climbng. I hoped to get a connection to being able to get a 20-gallon drum to cure the olives for prepping. the olives we got today were green and I think were for getting olive oil but Jenn told me that they said to go back in December for black olives

Tips When Looking for An Accessible Home

by elijah dawson - 2023-04-06 ( life / help / advice / home-buying ) [html version]

Accessible homes aren't as few and far between as you might imagine. In fact, it is possible to find a home that will cater to all your requirements if you know where to look and who to contact to make it happen. This guide shared by FriendsNews can help you get started.

Get specific

If you are a senior or person with a disability, you'll know best what type of home you need to make you happy. If you're not good at articulating your thoughts, it may be beneficial to put pen to paper and describe in detail exactly what you're looking for. This information will also help your Realtor narrow down your options so you get exactly (or close to) what you're looking for. Besides enlisting the assistance of a Realtor, you can do part of the research yourself by browsing properties online and filtering down to your minimum requirements to ensure you get as close as possible to what you want. Also, make comparisons of properties so you can get an idea of how properties with similar features are priced.

What is your affordability?

Your budget will also influence what you are realistically able to buy. As far as how big of a loan you can apply for, financial lenders will take several factors into account, including your credit score, your income, what you do for a living, and how much you want to borrow.

Do it yourself

If you've researched the housing market online and you're still unable to find your dream accessible home, then you may have to opt for an as-is property, which is usually cheaper than buying a home straight off the market. You could then use the additional savings to customize your home exactly to how you want it. Before settling on an as-is property, however, have it inspected by a property inspector so you can be sure you are buying a home without serious defects.

Examples of accessible features you might want to add

The nice thing about having an accessible home is that it does allow you to create a personalized home for yourself. Some examples of extensions, upgrades, and renovations that are popular inside accessible homes include:

• Access to ramps if you aren't able to use stairs.

• Wide doorways, hallways, and entrance ways for better mobility.

• A bathroom on every level of the home. Popular accessibility upgrades include a seat in the shower, a level floor leading into the shower, handrails that could assist you in getting in and out of the shower without difficulty, non-slip flooring, adequate lighting, and a higher-positioned toilet for those who find it difficult to bend.

• Modified levers and handles to make entering and leaving a room a hassle-free affair.

Getting ready to move in

If you are living with a disability, moving can have its challenges. However, you can make the moving process much easier and stress-free by choosing a moving company that has experience in moving your assistive devices with the utmost care.

The steps above should make moving to an accessible property a little bit easier. Be sure, though, to research as much as possible so you know what you qualify for to make your dream home a reality.

A Covid Commission Will Not Help Restore our Rights

In a recent opinion piece at The Federalist, Helen Raleigh argued that renewed hysteria about covid proves why we "need" a commission to study

what went wrong in the covid response, along the lines of the famous 9-11 Commission that studied why our government failed to prevent the infamous attack on the World Trade Center that killed almost 3,000 individuals on American soil.

The desire for a reckoning and closure on the tumultuous era of covid restrictions is understandable. But such a commission, even if co-chaired by some "victims," as Raleigh suggests, will not bring about the justice we all deserve. "There has been no national reckoning on what went wrong in our pandemic response and who should be held accountable," she writes. In fact, its conclusions would skew in favor of restrictions and serve as a shield against further inquiry or pushback on future public health policy, particularly as it relates to infectious diseases like covid.

Raleigh cites inquiries and commissions in other countries as a reason we should also have one. Putting aside that people said this very thing about the first lockdowns ("other countries have done it"), the tone of these inquiries are broadly what you'd expect from organizations tasked with investigating themselves. No foxes were involved in the henhouse massacre, says the fox guarding the henhouse.

The covid inquiry in Norway, a lockdown nation, unsurprisingly found Norway did a pretty good job. The inquiry in the UK is ongoing, but seems based in the premise that lockdowns were the right response, and, as Daniel Hannan wrote, has played with standard political "gotchas" more than earnest challenges to the overall covid narrative.

Sweden's commission, which finished its report last year, produced an unwelcome surprise for dissidents of covid tyranny. While concluding Sweden's no-lockdown approach was broadly correct, the 8-expert panel criticized the government for not closing restaurants, shopping centers and venues. "In February-March 2020, Sweden should have opted for more rigorous and intrusive disease prevention and control measures," the panel wrote last year, also criticizing the health agency for dismissing the use of masks as tools of infection control.

Raleigh rightly holds that any commission in the U.S. should hold decision-makers accountable for covid tyranny =96 but the only prosecutions I can find are going the other way. In Italy, the former prime minister and former health minister were put under investigation for not quarantining locales perceived to be the epicenter of the first covid wave in 2020.

Pledge your support

We must also draw on our own history to inform what a covid Commission would look like. The 9/11 Commission was to find "what happened, what went wrong, who was responsible, and how we could prevent mistakes from happening again or be better prepared," as Raleigh puts it. But the 9-11 Commission was about a foreign attack on U.S. soil. And the Warren Commission that studied JFK's assassination was an alleged attack by a citizen on a sitting government leader. These were tragedies America as a whole was outraged and sickened over. Because the cry for understanding how the 9/11 attacks could have happened was bipartisan, the 9-11 Commission was chaired by five Democrats and five Republicans.

But covid is not like the JFK assassination or 9/11. First, a commission to study a foreign attack on U.S. citizens is fundamentally different than a commission to study an assault by the government on its own citizens. Moreover, covid is highly partisan. It's so toxic that families have been torn apart over it, and to this day millions defend the lockdowns, masks and even jab mandates as appropriate, while millions of others see them as gross violations of Constitutional and human rights.

Yet such a seminal report would only be politically feasible to write with the chairs evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, with maybe an Independent thrown in for good measure. The analysis given in the report would split the difference between the right and left, and likely leave out points of emphasis that fall too far on either side of the political spectrum. Even if the perspectives of alleged victims of covid tyranny were included, Democrats demand to have the alleged victims of "let it rip" policies that "didn't take covid seriously" weigh in as well. Adverse effects of the covid shots, on all groups but maybe children? Forget it. Honest assessment of efficacy, and why the FDA pushed ahead with booster approvals repeatedly on data from mice? Forget it. Digging into why schools were shut down for so long might be on the table, but criticizing why they had to come back to class in masks certainly won't be.

Who among Democrats in Congress, besides RFK Jr., has seriously questioned the fundamentals of the covid response? Who would be worthy to sit down and earnestly analyze and criticize: the abuse of emergency powers, the rampant disinformation about the risks of covid and the efficacy of interventions, the overt efforts by government to censor information and opinions about covid, the veritable abandonment of nursing home residents, the shutdowns of addiction recovery centers, the confinement of children who would be at school with abusive relatives, the horrifying deaths of patients alone in the hospital, the forced masking of toddlers and removal of families from planes because children were unable to comply, the very idea that Americans could be forcibly confined to their homes, denied their right to assemble for protest or for religious practice, forced to keep certain distances apart, that jobs could be arbitrarily defined as "non-essential" and therefore cancelled? Who among the Democrats will criticize these things, will call a spade a spade? And who would be politically feasible for Democrats in Congress to support in such a role? Nobody who would dare to side with the so-called "covid deniers." Not in the near future, anyway.

Democrats are far too invested in the ongoing scandal of scrapping our rights and our welfare to be trusted with half the chairs on a Commission. The fact that such misinformation-spreaders like Chuck Todd are favorable to the idea of a commission should be a stadium-sized red flag to anyone who thinks this is a good idea. If Chuck Todd is hot on it, run the other direction as fast as you can.

The idea of a commission has been floated for drawing final conclusions on the origin of SARS-COV-2. But such a mission would be irrelevant to the human rights abuses experienced by Americans after we knew with a high degree of certainty that the virus was not a lethal biological weapon of mass destruction, but a cold-like illness for most.

More than disputes over what "the science and the data" say, it is the philosophical divide over the covid response that will prevent any commission from seriously challenging government actions. The proper role of government is to safeguard your rights, not trample them in an attempt to safeguard your perfect health. But half the country, definitely more than half of Congress, think the role of government is to safeguard your health first, and when health is deemed secure (by whatever metric is most convenient in the moment), only then can you have your rights and your liberty. To assemble a 9-11 style Commission on the covid response is to grant this "health first" authoritarian view a majority in "the final say" on lockdowns, the moral imperative to be present with loved ones in hospital and to visit them in long term care, the mass distribution of experimental drugs, and bodily autonomy regarding mask and shot mandates.

The following problems that enabled the "health first" view are responsible for most of the covid tyranny: state emergency powers are far too broad so that state executives can quash our rights whenever panic is sufficiently cultivated; federal agencies can push rules as "guidance" onto states while states can simple punt blame back to agencies while enacting those same rules, creating a vicious cycle of unaccountability; and government forsook its duty to properly regulate the safety of covid drugs when it decided to work hand in glove with the companies that made them and ensure that something would be available at "warp speed" (government had already staked "a return to normal" on the availability of effective vaccines or therapeutics, and the public was promised a vaccine before trials even began).

These problems will not be adequately addressed by a covid commission, much less force any kind of accountability. The solutions must be fought for, tooth and nail, at the state and local levels. Federally, a complete rebuild of the FDA and the rebuild or elimination of the Center for Disease Control is necessary by reformers in the executive and legislative branches who are willing to boot out corrupt, lying bureaucrats and make protecting and defending the Constitution from attacks both foreign and domestic the priority far and above anything else. It's far easier said than done. But one thing that would stand in the way of these reforms is a lengthy report from a supposedly "credible" covid Commission that would reinforce the premise that liberty is only available when certain health threats are neutralized.

Again, the core problem with the covid response that overshadows all questions of science, as important as they are, is the utter disregard for our freedom: to be with loved ones, to connect socially and physically, to show our faces, to control what we put into our bodies, to work for money that feeds, clothes, and shelters our families. This will not be recognized by a "9-11 style" covid Commission. Not within this decade, at least.
