Go to London first. Stay in the Royal Imperial Windsor Hotel. Watch the traffic circles.
Then go to Paris. A lot of good can can dance shows but I would not bring the wife. Do not throw anything off the Eiffel Tower-I learned the hard way.
For us, Berlin was next. We saved some money by staying with some distant cousins. Local festivals are amazing, but be on your best behavior-Germans will fight at the drop of a hat.
We ended in Rome. Our rental car was stolen so we missed the Coliseum. However, we were generously compensated and greatly enjoyed all of the historical statues.

Great joke about Baptists sneaking off to drink, but legend has it that whiskey was invented by Irish Monks. They called it “the drink of life”. Either way I’m glad for it.

Eating Half
Posted by Gerry Laval on 1/10/26 at 7:09 am
Has anyone tried losing weight by just eating half of what you used to? I made it my theme for 2026 and it is starting g to work a bit. I am hungry sometimes, particularly in the afternoon.
I don’t eat breakfast and eat a half lunch and a half dinner. Sometimes I’ll snack on mixed nuts in between. Just curious if anyone’s had success with this.

re: Ace Hardware provides one of the best shopping experiences in 2026 America
Posted by Gerry Laval on 1/9/26 at 5:42 pm to LittleJerrySeinfield
I agree with the OP. Sometimes I feel like they have too many employees but they are all helpful and pleasant. Last spring I went into my local Ace. I was in the zone reading weed killer labels to see if they killed dollar weed. I don’t think the cashier knew I was in there, or any other customers for that matter, because she said at a regular voice level to one of the working men, “Don’t come over here. I just farted and it’s a bad one.”
She’s nice but a little rednecky. I waited about 10 minutes before going to the register. It was awkward-for me and her.

Something snuck through Home Inspection-Get a Home Warranty?
Posted by Gerry Laval on 1/9/26 at 1:52 pm
Moved into a new house a little over a year ago. My family loves it and we are comfortable. Today, the AC/Heat company on contract came to do their bi-annual check up. I have two units-one in the attic upstairs, and one on the side of the house.
The home inspection we had done before moving in late 2024 said “AC Unit replaced two years ago.”
The one in the attic was indeed replaced in 2023. However, the outside one is from 2010. The guy even showed me. He also said it would be smart to replace it. He sent a quote-only $8,200. I’m a bit peeved this wasn’t caught in the home inspection.
My question is-if I go purchase a home warranty where I pay a few hundred bucks a year and the outside unit craps out, say in a year, will the home warranty buy me a new one?
Also, will the home warranty company come out and inspect everything first before agreement?

Mandina’s in Mandeville is also a nursing home everytime I go there. I actually really like their red beans so I’ll go on Mondays for lunch. Packed with people that look like they are over 80 to the point where I think they actually call bingo in there. Great food but something I’ve noticed.

The Iron Heel by Jack London. Extremely hard to get through. Nothing like A Call in the Wild or White Fang I read back in middle school. Doesn’t help that London was a huge commie either.

Never been to rehab myself, but I’d get a copy of Man’s Search for Meaning if I did.
