Meals That You Hated
I saw this thread on another forum and thought it interesting. What food or meal was you served while growing up that you hated and have not and will not eat as an adult? We had very basic meals when I was growing up and wasn't served anything that I hated. I find that I'm not the normal guy...- olbriar

AAA
I'm considering joining AAA and thought I would ask if anyone has the service and or have an opinion on the service? I have two motives for wanting / needing a service such as AAA. First and utmost, my wife and daughter are planning on traveling to Arizona this summer by auto. It concerns me... -
2024 Masters Golf Tournament
Today, the 11th of April, is the kickoff of what is arguably the most prestigious golf tourney on the PGA Tour the Masters. The biggest names in the game will be putting their game out there the next four days in hopes of being honored this year with the green masters jacket... and the huge purse. -
Happy Easter Everyone
Happy Easter! I personally don't have any big plans this weekend. Tomorrow, the wife and I are meeting another couple at the cabin to enjoy the afternoon. Sunday I plan to smoke something. The weather is supposed to be very nice this weekend for the little Easter egg hunters and family BBQs... -
Sports betting debts paid by Ohtani
I sure hope that Shohei Ohtani doesn't get caught up in the mess created by his interpreter. The story breaks today and I'm not sure how it will unfold. I have mourned the ostracizing of Pete Rose most of my adult life. Ohtani's interpreter fired, 'massive theft' alleged -
Saint Patrick's Day 2024
St Pat's day is right around the corner, March 17th. It is a holiday that my family always observed and claimed to be mostly Irish. My DNA seemed to support that but as years pass I'm far less Irish and mostly Scottish. :) I don't feel less Irish and it certainly will not slow me down from... -
Health Foods
I've never been one that tried to eat healthy and certainly never consumed any health food supplement. In my attempt to maintain a very low sodium diet I found that I inadvertently was consuming far too few proteins. I even became weak with the lack of proteins. I have found a couple of...- olbriar

Baseball 2024
Spring training starts next week. I see there is a game between the Dodgers and the Padres the 22nd. I'm ready for some baseball. I love MLB and look forward to it every year. I'll be rooting for the Royals again this year... that's a given. They open training with a game against the... -
Super Bowl Plans 2024
Super Bowl Sunday is this coming weekend. Do you have any special plans? I'm not going out or partying anywhere this year. I'll be watching the game at home. I'm thinking about fixing a big pot of chili. There is a chance of snow Sunday and it should be perfect weather to stay inside... -
OTA Antenna Reception
I found out yesterday that CBS will be airing the Super Bowl in 4K. After a quick look I find that my provider, DTV, will have a special channel for the 4K broadcast. I then made certain that I was ready for the big game in 4K and I'm not. It seems it will take an upgrade to my current...- olbriar

Heart Trauma Recovery
After 70 years of near flawless health, I suffered a very sever heart attack that I was lucky to survive. I had total blockage of my left ventricle which required two stints to clear. I'm almost two months past my hospital release and I'm starting to feel a bit better. I'm required to wear a...- olbriar

Super Bowl LVIII
The 58th Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49'ers and the Kansas City Chiefs will be played at Allegiant Field in Las Vegas Sunday February 11th 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS. It will be interesting to see where the odds end up two weeks from now. At present the 49'ers are favored by 1.5 points. Big... -
Chargers hire Jim Harbaugh
I don't think there was any question as to whom the Chargers wanted to hire for their next head coach. I'm sure it was a matter of money and talking Jim into leaving his groomed college program at Michigan. I think it's a great hire for the franchise and I expect big things out of the Chargers... -
Cabin Fever
I hate the winter season and the cold weather it always brings. Being retired, I have few reasons to venture out. I start to feel like a caged animal. I have the forums, reading, and TV to fill the hours but I need to get out of the house. I look forward to any sort of excuse to leave the... -
Emergency Backup Power
This was the fourth time in 50+ years living at this address that I experienced a lengthy power outage. Each time I vowed that I'd invest in some sort of backup and I'm still not prepared. Yesterday around 1PM we lost power. Our feed is overhead and with the ice and high winds a tree branch... -
Happy New Year 2023 2024
I hope that 23 was a decent year for you and yours and 24 will be even better. Any special plans to ring in the new year? Any traditions that are always observed on the holiday? And how about those new year resolutions that your made and kept or plan to make and keep? For a number of years... -
College Bowl Games 2023
I don't follow NCAA football but usually try to watch some of the bowl games. Yesterday I watched Kansas U win their bowl game and tonight I just watched Kansas State win their bowl game. I call these early bowl games the nose pick bowls. They really don't amount to much at all if you don't... -
Breaking and Entering
In my case it was just breaking, thankfully. Yesterday I went to put a bag of trash in the dumpster when I found I couldn't get the back door to open. The lock would not draw the bolt from the keeper. I walked around my house and could clearly see evidence that someone had tried to pry their... -
Crockpot Cooking
We use our crockpot some across the winter months. We once used it a lot, slow cooking roasts, stews, and soups. Between the pressure cooking and the smoker, the crockpot rarely sees a lot of cooking. My son recently cooked a turkey breast in his crockpot and tomorrow I'm cooking some chicken...- olbriar

Medicare supplement plans
You are likely sick of the commercials, I know that I am. However, seniors with medial needs, have the opportunity to shop providers of their supplement plans each year. My wife has to shop her drug plan each year. Not necessarily to find a cheaper provider but to find a plan that covers the... -
Thanksgiving 23
As the Thanksgiving approaches, I'm sure that everyone has made their plans for the holiday. We are gathering at my son's house which is only a ten minute drive. My son is smoking both a spiral cut ham and a turkey. His oldest daughter, son-in-law and their three children will be there... -
NCAA Men's Basketball 2023
I love college basketball and my favorite team is the Kansas Jayhawks... duh. Early polls have them ranked #1 which means nothing. Tonight they travel to play #17 ranked Kentucky Wildcats. It should be a good game that will be on ESPN in a half hour or so. I also root for my local... -
Pressure Cooking
Anyone like to cook under pressure? I started pressure cooking twenty five years ago or so. My mother had a pressure cooker and pressure fryer though she never cooked under pressure. A guy that I grew up with shared sysop duties with me on our local U's bbs and he turned me onto cooking under...- olbriar
