Food insecurity in the U.S. is at crisis level these days. I've been volunteering for many years, and I've never seen it this bad. Here's how you can help in the most effective ways.

I honestly don't get it. Explain this "insult" to me like I'm five.

Are they incapable of doing this for themselves?

Do they miss their mothers doing this for them?

Because it feels like they're telling on themselves to me.

Ron said he was taking me someplace cool. I think you're gonna like it too!

Yes, this timeline sucks. But worrying and complaining about things accomplishes nothing. Here's a few more suggestions on what we can collectively do

The cost of everything is going through the roof! One thing that helps me stay sane is controlling what I can. Here's some quick ideas to do just that!

Pt2 comparison #shopping for lean #groundbeef +other red meat choices.

Yes, ground turkey is a classic substitute, plus many meat alternatives are out there. And beans are always a choice. But people don't often even know #gamemeat can be found at regular grocery stores!

"Learn something new every day" isn't just for when you're a kid in grade school. And what you learn as an adult doesn't always have to be quantified. But if you need a little nudge or inspiration...

Ron and I respect our grandparent role, trusting Mom and Dad to know what's best for their child, just like we did for our son decades ago. I'm glad to see this is no longer a novel idea, especially when it comes to this

Have you ever tried it? It's something our grandson makes for himself, using the kid-safe knives. (He's still working on his knife skills)

It's nothing against the spices, and it's nothing to even do about coffee, even though I hate it. But it's what comes with it

Failing electrical grid. Tariffs. Hyper inflation. Economic collapse. [Insert scary thing] So many sites and videos talk about being prepared, and it does make me feel better. If you do the same, here's one thing you may want to add to your list

You don't have to drop a small fortune on making a good first impression. But the classic, basic moves are still winners.

I already don't take all that quickly to switching the names of famous places unless the locals ask me to (like Denali). But I thought of another problem to saying "Lake America"

Are you concerned about buying ground beef right now? I just might be passing on ordering burgers in the very near future! So here's an idea I've been doing for years now that you may not have considered because of price or flavor!

How can we #help folks in NW #Indiana ? Which services do you recommend we #donate to? #Gary is especially hard-hit with stores and gas stations closed!

I do a lot of stuff that's not directly related to #realestate in case you're interested in my thoughts and opinions beyond what's already here! 😏

Just FYI, this is the crowd for an Iron Maiden tribute band. Plus about the same amount at the vendor tents selling vintage stuff.

Maybe our President should hire these folks for putting an event together 😌
