    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Welcome! Long time member here. Yes, this place used to be rocking! I am actually blessed to meet over a dozen members in person over the years. From my perspective: 1. The rise of technology for finding "how to" information. You can ask AI, watch influencers on Facebook, or look up YouTube...

    On the bright(?) side, Lake Erie continues to ice over, disabling the lake effect snow machine. Still might get 7-8 inches from the general system. Chili and cornbread weekend, methinks

    Could You Thrive Through a Long Winter Without Running to the Store?

    Thrive or survive? We could handle several weeks, until the wife's meds run out. Not that long ago, there wasn't a lot of variation in the type of foods generally available. In a hunker down situation, that lack of variety would way heavily on the mental side of things. Survive, yes, thrive...
