Fort Bend County Meals on Wheels is a charitable organization based in Fort Bend County that also covers Wharton County. A good friend and spouse’s co-worker when he retired kept busy delivering Meals On Wheels to elderly and disabled folks on weekday afternoons. He said it was the best “work” he ever had. The volunteers kept notice of how the… Read more »
No, no migraine. Neighbor has no interest in business, has never shown any interest in her husband’s business and just listens to me when I talk about mine. She’s quite content to be the housewife.
I’m sure when her sister showed up, it took her about 3 seconds to drag her across the street and knock on my door.
Multiple face palms. Yikes. Good thing your neighbor brought her sister over for some clues on how to do this rental business. Your neighbor likely had a migraine or two trying to help her sister.
My neighbor just left with her sister. It seems sister and her husband are renting a house tomorrow – and they have no effing clue what they’re doing. She had no lease. They didn’t run a background check, nor had an application form filled out. Has no idea about keeping records. What is this thing – business expense? Records? What… Read more »

I heard some pretty wissed off folks bad mouthing Trump for dissing Kayleigh M. A few of them said they were tired of the childish behavior and are now DeSantis voters.
I think Trump went too far. Again. But this time might be his Bud Light moment.

Well, it didn’t rain at Chez Harp, unless you count the 4 drops that landed on me when I hurried to the mailbox. So, I THOUGHT it would go ahead and rain, and I just made other plans. After awhile, I realized it wasn’t going to rain, but I’d lost some of the 3 to 4 hours it takes me… Read more »

There are just four major U.S. metropolitan areas where it would be cheaper to buy than rent the typical home—that is, the typical home has an estimated monthly mortgage cost lower than its estimated monthly rental cost. In Detroit, the typical home is 24% less expensive to buy than rent—the largest discount in percentage terms among the 50 most populous… Read more »

About Elizabeth Holmes, I remember her now!

I need to mow the front yard, but it will probably be raining before I could even get started. I also need to straighten up inside the house, which I can do while it’s raining. So I’ll try to concentrate on what works!
Holmes is an evil woman, no doubt about it The theory that Holmes was running an elaborate scam was buttressed by trial evidence documenting her efforts to prevent the Journal’s investigation from being published. That campaign compelled John Carreyrou — the reporter responsible for those bombshell stories — to attend court and position himself in Holmes’ line of vision when… Read more »
I didn’t know Elizabeth Holmes was raised in Houston and her father had been a VP at Enron. Her parents sent her to the swanky, expensive St. John’s School in River Oaks.
Apparently, her parents still live in Houston and that’s why her attorneys negotiated her being sent to Bryan.
Elizabeth Holmes stole more than $945 million from a lot of high profile geniuses like Betsy DeVos, Rupert Murdoch, Larry Ellison and convinced people like Gen. James Mattis to be on her board of directors.
1 Super Dave The history of the threshing machine is very interesting. It involved Scotsmen, Englishmen, Australians and Americans.

Early versions were small and even involved units driven by windmill or hooked to watermills. Horses… Read more »

Stumbling across a Christiane Amanpour television interview of Stacey Abrahams.
Perhaps the worst moment in television history.
Now that’s the truth! Also it would be hard to ascertain the validity whatever they were discussing since they both lie constantly so what would be the point?
That is a great picture. Not being familiar with a Rice Thresher, I wonder what powers the machines, horses maybe? Likely the horse would be hitched up to a pole, walking in circles to drive a gear case. Like an old timey cane mill. We’ve made it to Hump day and dang if it’s not the last day in May.… Read more »
It blew my mind that she didn’t even have a lease!
