All of my grands eat a variety of foods that I had never heard of until I was in my forties. They are all healthy and active. But the favorite seems to be chicken noodle soup with rice. Don't know if it's because granddaddy fixes it or what but they always pig out on it. RSKY

Three months later and we've just returned from Dauphin Island Alabama. The little toot has a new favorite food, grouper! First taste was the first night there and she ate half of her mother's order. Couldn't stuff it in her mouth quick enough. Also developed a taste for mahi-mahi but grouper...

Got my Wydex Hearing Aids last night. I did exactly what I swore I would not do. Got them at the first place I went to. Guy was an excellent salesman. He didn't go into a sales pitch, he simply showed me what the aids could do and set up a test set with his computer equipment. I started...

I've never had to crawl in the dark but I must hold on to a wall or something to position myself. There are now night lights everywhere in our house that I used one excuse or another to position not admitting to myself that I simple couldn't walk thru the house in the dark without falling. From...

My loss is different from right to left, vastly different. What even some audiologists seem to not understand is that the same tone sounds different from one side to the other. That is why I'm afraid I'm going to have to spend a s##t pot full of money on these things. The audiologist at Shea...

I have known for months that I was going to have to get hearing aids. I just finished a three day treatment for Meniers Disease of the inner ear and have lost 80-90% of my hearing in the right ear and maybe 20% in the left. Been sedated, taken into operating room, having steroids and drugs...

Only suggestion I can make on your Kawasaki was made to me by a commercial mower who uses only Kawasakis when possible. If you are mowing ten to twelve hours a day get the bigger oil filter. It is the same diameter but an inch or two longer. Said it holds a cup or two more oil and helps with...

At their pediatrician's advice they started her a few months ago with a tiny bit of peanut butter and have gradually increased the amount. Other things have been added in the same way. Doctor said this would build up a resistance and keep her from becoming allergic. So far she has ate everything...

Daughter and family love eating at a place in Paducah Kentucky called the Freight House. We have heard so much about it that my wife and I are going some time in the next couple weeks. The owner/chef was a contestant on the TV program 'Top Chef' and ofter brings plates out to customers. Here...

When I was younger,.....much younger,......my dad left me in a field 5 or 6 miles from our home farm to mow. I had a gallon jug of water and a bologna sandwich in a paper bag. When he came back at lunch the tractor was, well not exactly stuck, but not movable. Front wheels on one side of a...

CK20s are the smallest compact made. Not a subcompact. Everything on it is cast iron and they are heavy for their size. BUT they are still a small tractor. The reason the manual trans model called for a 4' mower was due to available hp. The HST model has a few tenths less hp at the PTO but can...

The owners manual on my Kioti ck20S states that a 4' mower max with a manual and a 5' max on a hydro tractor. The dealer said that with a hydro if the tractor starts lugging you can just let up on the go pedal. I have ran a 5' for years with no problems. BUT, would make sure back tires loaded...

THAT is the best one I've heard this year!! RSKY

After Elliot Roosevelt’s death (1860-1894), his daughter Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was raised by his brother Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (1858-1919). In 1905, while her uncle was in the White House, she wed her fifth cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945). After Franklin was disabled by...

Sounds like you have a plan. Too many people, myself included, do not sit down and make long range plans before retiring. Even if you have to change your plan later you have something to guide you. RSKY
