Monday Stuff on the Way to Other Stuff: Israel Attacked

     I had lots of bouncy stuff to mention... but can't, anymore. I'm feeling sick over Hamas' attack on Israel. Rockets, murders...even grandmas kidnapped and dragged into Gaza. 

    The Israelis have no choice but to respond. And as Americans, we have a responsibility to help. Are we headed into another war? 

    It remains to be seen. God help us -- and them. 


These seem trivial, in comparison. But here they are...

A 30-minute pizza, including a scratch crust... really??  (From Little House Living)

Strange garage sale experiences. Quora people hold forth...

Weird things given out to trick-or-treaters. 

'Magic cake:' three layers, four ingredients.


The best biscotti recipes.  (From One Hundred Dollars A Month)

What -- humans may have been walking around in America much earlier than posited??

I don't understand. Why is wearing a Mexican stole considered 'bad' for a high school homecoming queen??

Democratic mayors (and others) are forced to view the issue differently, now that their towns and cities are being inundated with illegal migrants. (Texans and Arizona people might find this especially amusing, since they deal with it ALL THE TIME.)

Dog/Cat driving commercials, prompted by my fondness for this one:




Be careful what you say -- because you may be held accountable for those words years later.   Has Rep. Tlaib learned this yet? Apparently not.

28 things you (probably) didn't know about Steve Jobs. The man was brilliant...but like many brilliant, famous men -- mostly a pig. Definitely not a 'nice guy' to many.

Weird (mostly family) historical feuds.

Using the lounges at airports -- maybe this would work for you? (I wouldn't get Power of Thrift's credit card offer, though.)

The Manzanola Trading Company, oldest in the state, has permanently closed.

A Babylonian tablet found suggests that the Pythagoras Theorem is actually hundreds of years earlier.

 Dine and dash -- to a different country!

A Chinese sub is caught in one of its country's own traps -- everyone is dead. 

Another curator confesses to looting the museum he's supposed to care for -- this one substituted fake paintings for the real ones.

Best and worst celebrity customers. I don't know why I enjoy this silly stuff -- but I do.

AI fails -- including salmon filets swimming upstream. (How are they going to release those eggs?) This was funny, at first -- but ended up just darn creepy.

The strange tale of Denver's Spider Man.

The nine most dangerous drives in Colorado, according to a local. Some of these are four-wheel-drive roads...but the stretch of I-25 we often travel is included! (It is scary on snowy days.)

'Loopholes' people took advantage of.

'Best-ever' breadsticks... to go with 88 different one-pot (or pan) meals.OR if you prefer, easy ground beef dinners -- including stromboli. Oh my.

A prankster terrorizes a mall shopper -- then is actually surprised when the guy shoots.

Anna Delvey (er, Sorokin) is back on the move again -- in spite of spending 99% of her time on house arrest. I even notice she's got that starey-eyed "I didn't do nuthin" look again. Deport that girl!!!

What a multimillion dollar family of four spent in a year -- and it's a heck of a lot less than you would think.  (From White Coat Investing)

And finally, one of the more interesting commercials of the decade: Lucid Dreaming by Honda's HR-V.



Have a good week -- but keep alert. Things could change very quickly.
