Don't they make blueberry Cheerios any more? Can't even find them on the net, not even on the Cheerios website. And while I'm at it, how come I can't I buy a "regular" size of anything? I live alone. I don't want nor need Family Size, Jumbo Size, Extra Size or any other damn thing that is so big it doesn't fit on my shelves and spoils before I can eat more than 1/3 of it. Some companies still make stuff in single serving sizes ofra bit larger, but Kroeger's doesn't seem to want to stock the smaller packages. About 30%, maybe more, of the local population in Central Arizona is elderly, single household, or disabled...some are all three. This borders on elder and or disabled abuse, but no one cares.

Another update if you will, please.

I had two cousins who were significantly older than I. Both joined up right after Pearl Harbor, one in the Army, the other in the Marine Corps. They both became pilots in the Pacific. The Army cousin was in what soon became the Army Air Corps and later the Air Force. That cousin flew B-25 and B-26 bombers and after the war he was in the reserves and got called up to go to Korea where he flew B-26s again. From there he went back to the reserves and got called up again to go to Vietnam, but they didn't let him fly any more. In 1961 he bought a B-25 and "civilianized" it. Looked like a Winnebago with wings. He told me the B-26 was a better combat plane but that the B-25 was more pleasant and easier to fly. He retired as a Brigadier General. The other cousin flew Bear Cats, Hell Cats, and Corsairs, stayed on active duty and went to Korea where he flew Corsairs and what I always knew as Sabrejets. He also went to Vietnam, but never flew combat again, and also retired as a Brigadier General.

Those big Berks were some of the most beautiful and elegant locos ever put on tracks. Thanks, Joe.

I QUESTION THAT 46% OF ALL DEATHS ARE CAUSED BY ANY KIND OF GUN FIRE! Maybe it is that percentage of gun fire deaths, but that leaves out knives, strangling, beating and clubbing, poisons, and a host of other ways that people are killed. Also, how many of the gunfire deaths are from LEOs and / or people defending themselves or others for injury or death by someone attacking them? How many are accidents or suicide? There are so many BS reports that leave out this very kind of infotmation to push the author's agenda that I simply don't believe any of it any more.

Are you willing to bet on that? We have a few million potential "enemy soldiers" who have gotten in under our "umbrella" in the last few years already....and we're footing the bill to get them here and make them feel right at home..

Still not worth my time. Not now, not ever.

Bascomb, is that a selfie?

They won't be nearly as cute in a few years when they get to be 400+ pounds and see you as lunch. Beautiful, yes. Magnificent, without question. Cute, huhuh!

Maybe I missed it, but can it be raised back up and used again?

Garner was a really nice guy on top of it all. I never got to meet Steve McQueen

Losing about one a month these days. Many more are hanging on by a thread. About 2/3 are younger than I am. Hard to decide whether to mourn their loss or celebrate my own survival.

I gave up on any Olympics the year our hockey team beat the Soviets. I don't know why so many people I have always thought to have good sense subject themselves to this trash..... but it's your time to waste. I feel the same way about other "Gee whiz look at me" events....like the Academy Awards as an example.

I'm not an antique, I'm a "classic collectable"....so there! Problem is no one makes parts for a 1942 model anymore. On the other hand, the thumb's on the wrong side. No, seriously, I'm within a couple of thousand bucks of matching the Bionic Man!

Only happens here if the Carters are involved.....or maybe not.

Add me to the list. We've got the boy's back. Keep us posted and when he's ready let him listen to some of your favorite singers.

OFF SUBJECT: I don't know Ms. Greene, but I love her style. The director of the Secret Service should be fired (and maybe Ms. Greene could be considered a replacement for the job) and arrested for dereliction of duty and a full investigation by an outside party conducted in this case. From what I heard from her own mouth, she is trying to cover her own butt and may well be guilty of conspiracy to commit assassination of President Trump.....which would involve many others, as well. That sound in the background, hopefully, is the leftist effort to destroy my country crumbling. Wait for the BS coming from the liberal-socialist-communist drones who will be turning up.

Ice maker works, too. That minor part of my life doesn't require my using language that my mother would not approve.

Kiss my what?

IAPA! If they are citizens or legally here and not causing problems worthy of police notice they can stay. If they are causing such problems jail them and when the their sentences are completed send the aliens home and lean heavily on the rest.

If you have any 1911s for sale..............just a suggestion.

Screw the power company. I have 30 solar panels and almost every month I get rebated for the electricity above what I use that they have to pay me for. It stacks up and I have not paid for electricity more than five or six months in the ten years I've lived here, and the worst it's been was I had to pay $48.00 for the $148.00 a month lease on the panels.... generally much less, but I only know it because my bills tell me I don't get as big a rebate. And it's so hot flies are stuck to the ceiling of the corrugated metal shed in my neighbors'd back yard. BTW, night time I keep the temp set at 68, daytime I move it up to 72, year in and year out. If Iget cold at night I have a electric blanket which keeps my back from giving me fits. "But, Tom, if you move to Arizona you'll die from the heat." I'm in central AZ a mile above sea level and surrounded by hills and mountains. The hottest it's been this year was 103 a day or two and it got up t 105 a couple of times since we moved here.

OKAY, Amazon delivered this gizmo late yesterday and I just around to using it. I followed the directions and you know what? This stupid kindergarten simple dumb ass POS WORKED! It took three tries and about five minutes, but it is flowing like a new machine. Waiting to see if the ice maker works as well. Thanks, Cholla. I knew it wasn't likely a filter because I change the filters every 6 to 9 months, last time in mid-March, but I do appreciate the answers I got. Never know, I might find a use for them somewhere down the line. In the meantime this little gasoline syphon wanna be has a place in my gadget drawer.

Super powers be damned. I just want to be 25 years old again (knowing what I know now and with perfect eyesight).......... and stay that way.
