Another electronic sticky note from my world famous Electronic Sticky Note series. One of these days I’ll remember some of these posts for some of the recipes I wanted to try but never did. 19 Easy Corn Recipes – https://www.budgetbytes.com/corn-recipes/
After participants consumed peanuts daily for 16 weeks, researchers observed improved insulin responsiveness in a group of brain regions in the right hemisphere. These included portions of the lingual gyrus, hippocampus, parahippocampal gyrus, and posterior cingulate gyrus, all of which contribute to memory-related processes. Scientists discover a surprising brain benefit of eating peanuts every day […]
The video – https://www.vumedi.com/video/the-truth-about-your-metabolism-as-you-age/ The AI summary highlights curated by a human – Subtle daily calorie surpluses (50-100 calories) accumulate over time, leading to gradual weight gain. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) decreases by 5-25% over a lifetime, compounded by age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia).

Upon reading the news on how pizza chains are suffering due to consumer preferences for chicken I decided to personally try to make a difference by eating pizza. Here’s last night’s order: Look at those discounts! The small cheese was free, the medium thin was a semi-permanent special always discounted, I had a $5.00 loyalty […]
When the conversation centers on finding the next “miracle ingredient,” we risk losing sight of what truly matters: filling our plates with fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and other minimally processed plant foods. Health rarely depends on a single food. Rather, it depends on the overall dietary pattern and the synergistic interaction between thousands of […]
This is really scary. What do you think it means for us?
New car dealerships are now offering no payments for 3-6 months and zero percent interest financing. New cars are not selling. If the used car market tanks that becomes both sides of the coin. We saved Detroit and the auto industry in 2008-09. This time I don’t see another bailout. Best case scenario will be a much smaller vehicle manufacturing/employment sector with some really good bargains for those of us who still have jobs.
Do you foresee with your vehicles being manufactured, that in a few years it might be difficult to find a new car to buy!
No. There will be fewer choices but we’ll still have new cars to buy. And we’ll have more used rather than new options. I foresee less air travel and more people taking car trips. It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out.
It certainly will be interesting. I don’t know yet whether I will be in the market for another car. I really like my two vehicles. But one is 18 years old, and the other is 24 years old. I would like to keep them for the rest of my life, but if either one requires an extremely expensive repair, I would probably be better off to purchase another car. I prefer to keep these. Whenever I rent or use a new loaner, I don’t like the touchscreen. I do like the modern things like a back up camera and push button to open the tailgate. But I find in the newer cars making simple adjustments to climate control and radio take my eyes off the road for too long.
