People who cook from scratch, but do take advantage of a good “blend” Everything including the UPC Code seems to be the same.
Exactly one year ago, I ordered a “year supply” (2 bags) and the price was $10.10 each ($1.48 per ounce) Today that same product (everything including the UPC Code is the same) is “offered” at $16.98 ($2.50 per ounce)
On a more positive note (and one those who know me may find interesting) This blend is a favorite because (a) it does not contain salt and (b) this is sort of shocking – unlike most “Italian” seasoning mixes – does not contain garlic.
The ingredients: Organic Herbs (Marjoram, Rosemary, Basil, Thyme, Savory, Oregano, Sage) are an excellent base for more nuanced mixes like a Greek/Mediterranean, Italian and a long list of other with the addition of one or two more flavors. TIPLET: Based on average “useage” I only keep enough for two weeks “on the counter” and the remainder is “on the freezer door”
25-Mar-2021 – Bottom line at the top We need to stop fixating on the distractions and look at the REAL problems and figure out what we need to do to get things right.
Not that I trust these numbers (or any of the products purported to be immunizations…. ) and that includes the memes from both sides of the conversation – out of context annoys me quite frankly
Keeping in mind the folks making millions if not billions of US$ and other Currency are warning that getting the shot(s) does not mean you are now free to go about your life, stop wearing a mask or any other restriction already imposed… so anything they have to say does not really impress me.
“Reportedly” more than 450 million doses of the three products have been administered worldwide. For the sake of argument, let’s divide that number by 2 – given most have probably gotten the 2 shot products and I doubt the number of J&J one shots is even in the millions yet.
Again “reportedly” round up 4,000 have died and about 165,000 become ill after injections with these products. Let’s call it 170 Thousand to follow the example of the CDC etal and make it scarier than it needs to be.
Doing simple math, divide 170,000 by 225,000,000 and you get point 0007556 have had a recorded reaction or 7 out of every 1000 victims Let’s compare that to the numbers for the US for Seasonal Flu Vaccine of around 45-60 million getting the shot. An average reaction of 8% means 8 of every 100
Feel free to check and correct my math – never my best subject. But it would seem you are 10 times more likely to have a problem with a seasonal flu shot than a covid-19 injection.
In my opinion, the difference is the seasonal injection seems to have somewhat of a success rate, and the other is a placebo.
As I said when I started, we need to stop wasting time on masks and vaccines and start working on (a) keeping a close eye on the reason for this distraction and (b) what in the name of all that is holy we can do about it.
A few days ago, a craft group that had been politics free changed when the group owner wrote a message well because he could – his group his decision about the rules. And I am really okay with that – or I was until the discussion showed many disagreed with his point of view and so, again, a decision that is his to make, decided that all those writing in response were now wasting their time, it would be moderated and not put thru to tho group.
Since this started I have downloaded my email with dread – but I am not the list owner and this was his decision.
Anyone who follows me pretty much anywhere on the internet is likely to know I have pretty strong feelings. And, as someone with very very painful FIRST hand experience on the changes occurring, I can’t decide if I want to air my grievances or ask this be shut down before there is irreparable harm.
I believe my experience as a guardian, parent and grandparent means first hand experience with the horrendous feeling that nothing is more heartbreaking than to be helpless in helping our children.
It is amazing to me that in today’s world when we know every intimate detail of celebrity and political psuedo-celebs lives that people are so blinded by skin and greed.
More than anything, the best thing we can do for our children is to be patriots and to really look at our situation – The measures being taken at the direction of the chief executive are so obviously punitive and directed at those who don’t vote Democrat – it boggles the mind trying to see why.
Why is there money to close down open areas, streets and parking facilities that are not manned? But not to fund the NIH.
Well, because the executive branch can order a law enforcement officer under federal command to do so. And who is hurt.
NIH, the Military, and pretty much everything except a program that is already devastating what is still, but almost not, the best health care system in the world.
And yet, we continue to see a “Let them eat cake” and if they don’t like, then they will eat $#!+ instead.
I am bored with of the vicious and deliberate lies of an ethically, morally and legally corrupt executive branch taking advantage of its position to stamp its feet and get its way.
I am bored with people too engrossed in their own current situation to take the time to look at the fact. If you must make it by party line, The House is sending bills, which the Senate is not even being allowed to discuss – so obviously Mr Reid is not really all concerned with those 1,000 people at Nellis any more than he is those in need of services at NIH.
I am bored with people branding others racists for no reason other than disagreeing with a POLICY that will help a few today and harm the many for generations to come.
I am bored with those who think it is okay to expect others to work and they should just, because they breath, be allowed to take the fruits of the workers lobar.
I am bored with those unable to have an intelligent discourse, with a goal to solving problem, that their only response is to disagree with them is to be racist or other – Anyone who actually knows me will tell you I am one of those people who has always been inspired by Dr King and others of that generation to judge, as does the Lord my God, by action and deeds.
It is NOT the Republican in either house of congress blocking funding,
I am bored with people too blind by self interest to take an honest look at what is being offered and how it is will harm our country, ourselves and the generations to come all to satisfy the ego of an executive cabal, in league with others only interested in their personal gain beginning with Mr Reid.
I am bored with parents so lazy and self indulgent they do not teach their children the value of human life and so we have senseless violence and if you think that person should be punished for their actions you are branded racist.
I am bored with love of country being cause to be branded terrorist.
I am bored with those who were not taught that actions speak louder than words.
I am bored with those who claim to be Pro-Choice but only so long at it means you blindly choose their choice of genocide – exactly as Ms Sangor hoped.
I am bored with those who would negate the Bill of Rights, the very document that allows them to spew their hate against those who would protect ALL Life, Liberty and condemn us all to the Pursuit of Mediocrity.
I am bored with those who are too selfish to understand cause and effect – need an example, look at the effect of taking away tax deductions from corporation who used to be extremely supportive of the arts and arts programs – yes they got a tax advantage but we got private funding for musuems, libraries, research having nothing to do with their company, and more – now lost.
If you are still reading, maybe instead of whining in public forums where your opinion is pointless, you should be doing something constructive.
This is republic and your elected officials have a duty to God, Country and their constutients.
There is a MUCH bigger picture to be considered. The only thing ACA is likely to solve is the amount of people currently coming of the USA for health care they cannot get in a timely way in their own country.
Decide which is most important to you.
If health care is a priority, find out how that bill will really effect you. Me – nearly my entire social security – money that I earned from many many years of paying my “premiums” aka/Social Security Deductions, and as a self employed person I also paid TWICE that of any employee because I also paid the Employer paid portions. I know you will love how the price of medications you need to continue to live are now going to be at least trippled and in my case, generics are now going to cost 19 times as much. So maybe like Don, I will be dead in the not too distant future as a direct result of the changes occurring under the AFC.
Get the facts on how AFC will really effect you, THINK and decide if it really is going to help or harm. After all what good will it do us to reopen a study at NIH if those with the disease are deemed to expensive and in the immortal words of Ms Sibilas, some live, some die. NO respect for Life.
Get on the phone and call your congress critters and tell them you elected them to do what is best for the country.
If that means those who elected a childish, disrespectful, self-indulgent individual have to learn the lessons so many parents never taught their children about working for what they have, may suffer a bit, well it is their choice to not only be the problem but refuse to even consider a less selfish solution.
My mother once said that only boring people are bored. She went on to say, if you are bored, go find something interesting to do.
What could be more interesting than to find every possible way to save the country that allows me to write this note, and to ensure that my children, grandchildren and every other citizens of these United States can enjoy their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness without extreme interference of the type their forebears fought to protect us against.
Fully understanding it may well be the death of me, now I have had my say, I really hope each of us will decide to put aside their own immediate self-interest and choose for the long term best interest of us all.
No I am not a Ham, but TH, has been a Ham for many many years (including before he got is letters).
Last Night he mentioned getting this in the news from CARA one of our local clubs, I knew I had to share it and find a good musical comment – The choice was easy.
So, with all due respect to Samuel B….
This just might be the end of the world as we know it

ARLB030 FCC to Drop Morse Testing for All Amateur License Classes
In an historic move, the FCC has acted to drop the Morse code
requirement for all Amateur Radio license classes. The Commission
today adopted a Report and Order (R&O) in WT Docket 05-235. In a
break from typical practice, the FCC only issued a public notice at
or about the close of business and not the actual Report and Order,
so some details — including the effective date of the R&O — remain
uncertain.
Also today, the FCC also adopted an Order on Reconsideration, in WT…
