The Great Fast Food Scam: Convincing You $20 Is a Bargain

By -

 I'm sitting at my computer listening to Youtube.  I am too cheap to buy any plan.  Maybe poor is a better term.  Then, McDonalds comes on with a cheery spokesperson.  She goes on about this great "value" meal.  It's only $8 dollars!  Can you believe it?  So, are they trying to tell us that is cheaper than a burger meal at Chili's or some other sit down restaurant.  When I look at "value" meals that used to be $3 to $4 dollars, I am now seeing close to $10.  A regular meal is closer to $20 at a fast food place.  The thought of spending that much of food of poor quality makes me sick.  I'd rather buy the ingredients and make a healthier version of the same thing I can buy.  They think there recipes are top secret.  Anyone can find a copy cat recipe on the internet.  I made spaghetti sauce and use Italian spaghetti the other day.  It did not make us feel bloated or sick.  I wonder why?  Well, I did look at the ingredients for some of the American produced foods.  It's the crap they put into the food.  You should read the ingredients for spaghetti versus one made from an Italian company.  The Italian company had about 4 ingredients.  Wheat, water, etc.  While the American version had about 10 ingredients.  Most had chemical sounding names.  If you stomach bothers you after eating, look at the ingredients.

Rat Update

 Still trying to catch rats.  They are definitely smart.  They can get around traps.  They are also fast.  Evidently, they can not swim very well.  I was checking on a bucket of water.  In the bucket floated the body of a rat.  We try not to use buckets.  Baby chicks have that same problem.

Crazy Chickens

By -
 I'm sitting in my office at home.  All I can hear is the sound of chickens squawking. I think they are trying to encourage me to feed them.  I know when I go out, it will be like Ace Ventura and the animals flocking to him.  I do know they will squawk before laying an egg.  The roosters are non-stop with their calls!

I Feel Lost

By -
 This week, my phone died.  I could not believe it.  I was looking on it and it goes black.  I have my wife look at it.  She gets it to come back to life and updates it to the Icloud.  I start looking at it again.  Then, it dies again.  This time it is for good.  She called TMobile.  They wanted me to enter passwords.  I could not remember them.  They were on the phone.  Eventually, I used my Ipod to access something.  Because it was under a plan we have, I am able to get a new phone.  Only catch is is that it is the same model, Iphone 11.  If I wanted the newest phone, I would have to pay $300.  I went with the same model.  Now I just need to get it.  I find myself lost without my phone.
