So tomorrow we have the third American League baseball playoff game this time away from home. Hope good fortune follows the Astros there and makes it 1–2–3 games won. And then on to the next games.
Only a handful of people know this is the true identity of Dr. phil Good. Almost everyone assumes he’s some kind of weird hair band aficionado and mild-mannered tech-geek when, in actuality, he’s a Superstar…
Dr. phil Good…Live and in Person !

However, I must say that she showed up in Bellville in my time of need and was the calmest, most giving, patient, listening, loving human you could hope to have on your side.
Two sides of the same coin.

of naturefrom God.Or if you google “sauerbraten recipe for canning” – you can get a fresh link – and I think it showed another website but I didn’t check the other recipe… Walt did try the link with no problem
110 Tedtam – never any problem. I go there a lot.
maybe if you just try typing in http://www.sbcanning.com and poke around the pages???
Don’t we all! If she had nothing she could do in one hour spontaneous combustion would certainly occur. Boom, flames. 😀
Bsue – your link got me this:
Website blocked due to trojan
Have you had any problems on the site?
I had to check, and sure enough, Wiki has a very interesting entry on the pseudoscientific concept of Spontaneous Human Combustion.
I do worry about Tedtam sometimes.
Miss Adee, there have been many pots of chili that I have concocted… None would’ve won any awards but none made anyone sick… My only constant is that when I make Frito Pie, I use Wolf brand canned chili, or Gebhart’s back when they still made it… I believe I’ve even made a few dozen pots with Wick Fowler’s 2 Alarm Chili Kits… Never 2 Alarm version, but rarely “false alarm”… Tedtam – I did sauerbraten from pork, and lots of other variations. Here’s the link to the recipe for canning (and if you click on the “meat” tag –… Read more »
Regarding beans in or not in chili, it was a good supper dish in north-central Wisconsin and amongst my Mom’s large extended family. They made it with kidney beans cooked in the chili, and not quite as spicy as down here. That was the Polish version of it in the late 1800s to early 1900s area of numerous Polish and German settlers. As I recall it sometimes also had chopped tomato in it. All depended on who in the family was making it. 🙂
Bsue – I’m looking for recipes for all this pork loin I want to can. So far, no recipes that I can use but I found some seasoning blend recipes. 2.5 tsp per pint jar, 1.5 tbp per quart jar, or use as a non-canning seasoning. From “The Complete Guide to Pressure Canning” by Diane Devereux: Smoky Bones Spice Blend / makes about 1/2 cup 4 tsp coarse sea salt, 1 tbsp dried thyme, onion powder, smoked paprika (mild or hot), paprika 2 tsp garlick powder, cayenne powder, dried oregano 1 tsp ground black pepper, dried basil *** ************ Caribbean… Read more »
I thought about getting a Daily Wire subscription, primarily for Walsh’s documentary “What is a Woman?” They’ve had some other things I’ve wanted to watch, as well.
Can’t hardly blame Lowell for his transgression.
Still my favorite video version.
Matt Walsh went on Dr. Phil in January and debated some tranny activists about the definition of a woman. I believe this is where the idea for the documentary began. Walsh then went out on the street and campuses with a cameraman and mic asking people, “What Is A Woman ?.” The documentary sprang from those episodes. Apparently, YouTube/Google is shadow banning and suppressing these man on the street videos because they are so embarrassing for lefties. Here is the trailer and I encourage everyone to watch it. It’s a powerful documentary and the Left has flipped out over it.… Read more »
It’s Brunette Friday, baby.
Tedtam – after the grueling journey to the Walmart in the Woodlands to get 1/2 gallon Ball jars in order to consolidate dehydrated veggies storage (which showed on the store site as being in stock), I finally had to order some from Amazon… Here’s hoping Amazon does its normal amazing job of packing things, and they arrive intact
Texmo, Hubby says they are paying for very experienced plumbers. Charlie’s Commercial plumbing… May take on less experienced and/or apprentices. Couldn’t hurt to ask.
#92 Darren/#98 Shanon – that’s OK – it’s actually a mental health supplement… it makes me feel much better, no matter what mood I’m in
#77 TexMo – you’ll get no argument from me on the “OVER” vote… there’s someone else who lives here who either has a different opinion or thinks which ever way it gets there ought to be fine…
Last night, I broke my self-imposed rule of 4 Servings Per Pint and ate 2 servings.
Didn’t help my stamina one bit.
Here’s a take on the Trump subpoena for the J6KC: https://www.19fortyfive.com/2022/10/subpoena-donald-trump-his-testimony-would-make-democrats-pay/ For Democrats, the investigation was just another way to fill the airwaves with obsessive anti-Trump smear campaigns and propaganda. With a faltering economy, rising costs of living, and the prospect of World War Three on the horizon, the Democrats need the January 6 investigation to scare away as many prospective Trump voters as possible simply because they don’t have anything positive to run on. …The January 6 Committee was foolish to subpoena Trump, and should he decide to comply with the subpoena, it could unravel all the work they’ve… Read more »
Behind the scenes picture from season 3, episode 2 (Andy’s Rich Girlfriend) which premiered on October 8th, 1962
Filming dates for this episode were August 6th-8th that year.
It looks like Sheriff Taylor is a little sweet on Miss Peggy. And they’re thirsty.
Texpat, Microsoft swept through here Wednesday night with an update that has caused weird problems on both of our Windows 10 computers. Same thing happened to me. I got up on Thursday morning and there was a screen asking me if I wanted to accept an updated program and new browser. I declined but it defaulted back to the log in page and wanted me to log into Microsoft. How the hell do I know my password? As far as I know I don’t have an account BUT if I did I’d have to check my Password list stored on… Read more »
I think I am. gonna cry. but these are tears of joy.
#90 Texmo – I’ll check….
Tedtam;
Blue Bell is a dietary supplement for extra strength and stamina.
The local TV news did prominently feature the story.
But paid Commie protesters against Free Speech on campus fail to hold my attention anymore.
I did note that it was Matt Walsh.
I guess I should at least find out what his documentary is about, instead of making assumptions from the title.

What level of experience is your plumber friend looking for? No experience acceptable?
BTW – I got the official notice today. The State Comptroller has officially closed down our plumbing company’s LLC.
I thought Hubby might at least be nostalgic. Nope, it was “Good news!” He then proceeded to tell me that a plumbing acquaintance was handing out $3K signing bonuses for plumbers. Hubby said he’d pass on that.
If y’all know any young’uns trying to decide what to do with their lives, the trades really need more hands. And at least today, they could have made $3,000 just by deciding to be hired.
Matt Walsh and What Is a Woman ? at the UofH. I didn’t see anybody here talk about it, but it got pretty wild.
Walsh said it went well and they packed the house with 600 students, guest and faculty. The only hitch was some student A/V techs sabotaged the live streaming feed.
Microsoft swept through here Wednesday night with an update that has caused weird problems on both of our Windows 10 computers. They’ve gotten very aggressive with trying to push their Edge browser among other things. I’ve been having problems posting comments and find Edge popping up in the background. It also changed Her Highness’ browser default from DuckDuckGo to Edge and knocked off her printer default.
If I could afford to do it right now, I would throw these units away and buy Apple. MS are a bunch of thugs.
What? No Blue Bell?
With the back and forth of beans, I would just like to make a public service announcement that beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard are the four basic food groups.
You’re welcome.

Spot on!!!
Rotel is a Texas native and, as such, is officially Approved/with reservations.
Thanks.

Minor correction.
Since Russians can’t be members of the European Parliament (MEP), I was fairly sure this guy wasn’t.
It turns out Mislav Kolakušić MEP is the representative from Croatia and their language is Croatian, written in the Latin Alphabet.
Carry on.
That’s great, Texmo.
I’m sure that cabin fever falls way short of describing your recent predicament.
EG is reporting Over Yonder that his vision is blurred, but improving, and he has some irritation.
Mom’s surgery and recovery was completely different. She had NO physical complaints at all, and her vision was perfect right after surgery. When she complained of “itching” or “irritation” is when her eyeball became horror-movie white. And she lost her eye, despite every attempt to save it.
Everybody heals up from surgeries differently; here’s hoping that El Gordo’s recovery is just different, but with a better outcome.

It’s good to be getting involved in life again, I’m sure. Even chores will take on a new significance, I’ll bet.
Moderators – I just loaded up a Weekend thread. Feel free to move it if you have something you want instead.
I had lunch today with a former colleague today. It’s the first time I’ve gotten out of the house for something besides medical appointments in about two months. It felt good to get out of the house.
She’ll just collect on the life insurance policies and call it good.
Okay, NOW who’s dying laughing?! 😀 😀 😀

Compromise is not an option.
TP Overs of the World Unite!!!!
Ok… in case y’all don’t know, anyone who has had any type of abdominal surgery has had their abs cut asunder and then sewn back up. There is a very long healing process for those muscles. I try my best not to cough or sneeze because it literally hurts my abs to do so. This goes for laughing too! So when I read Squawk’s link about the old lady making fur coats out of house cats I felt like I was literally going to die laughing. The entire story is just too funny and I was in alot of pain… Read more »
Everyone knows that the first person to cook beans in their chili was the first French émigré from New Jersey to Texas.
LONG LIVE THE 5 %ers

#71. Sniff you bring a tear my eye about the granite color. My brother is photographer above all photographers and he complains when he cannot bring out the “Sunset Red” granite of the capitol. He will get redneck if you call it any other color.
The bean controversy proves that, even in Texas, 5% of the population can be terribly wrong.
Haggling over beans in chili is as Texan as the pink granite of the Capitol building. (Properly referred to as Sunset Red granite)
