Question of the Day

A baker's dozen is usually 13.
Reason:
In medieval England there were laws that related the price of bread to the price of the wheat used to make it. Bakers who were found to be “cheating” their customers by overpricing undersized loaves were subject to strict punishment, including fines or flogging. Even with careful planning it is difficult to ensure that all of your baked goods come out the same size; there may be fluctuations in rising and baking and air content, and many of these bakers didn’t even have scales to weigh their dough. For fear of accidentally coming up short, they would throw in a bit extra to ensure that they wouldn’t end up with a surprise flogging later. In fact, sometimes a baker’s dozen was 14—just to be extra sure.

Wow!  That sure explains it.

A bakers dozen works on the same concept as a gas war......people will go somewhere else to save a penny on gas just the same as people will shop for 13 at the price of 12.

Maybe today, Glad. Not in the beginning.

Have you heard the latest shortage of food?  

Around here chicken is hard to find.

Don't see shortages here.
Question:  Do hoarders cause shortages?

Hoarders may be a partial cause of shortages, but we are told that the supply chain is the cause. Am I the only one who remembers around election time in 2020 a man (I have forgotten his name) told of subsidized farmers being told to plow their crops into the ground. He told of cattle farmers being told to slaughter their herds. 
We have empty shelves of many goods. Kroger supposedly has difficulty keeping workers. What did we expect after the "World Reset" meeting at DAVOS? I listened to it. President Donald Trump was the ONLY one who stood up and said, "NO".

Question: Which sin is unpardonable?

Denying the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

I agree LFF!

Question: The mention of Donald Trump.....do you wish he were our president again?

Yes.  He may have been crude, but he had us on the right track- The border wall, energy independence, low inflation.....  And why?   He was not a 'politician'.  He was a businessman! 
Question:  It's been so cold lately.  Is this part of global 'warming'?

I am wondering!

Just how cold can it get?

Re: Question: Just how cold can it get?

That is a question I do not wish to find the answer to!

Question: Can President Trump occupy the Oval office?

If we vote him back in, in 2024.
Oh, and absolute zero, where all molecular motion stops is -273C, or -459F.
Question:  When is the first day of Summer in the Northern hemisphere?

June 21st


Why is the sky blue?  (My kids always asked me that when they were little.  I would tell them it was God's favorite color so therefore my challenged son has chosen blue for his favorite color)

I think it has something to do with light passing through the moisture in the air.

I should google it. Doesn't depth/space have
something to do with it?

If the states admit the vote was rigged,
the Supreme court might hear the case.

Nope.  I was wrong.  Has to do with the wavelengths of the different colors, a,d the gas molecules.

Interesting!  

Joyous will they ever stop talking about votes being rigged?


Speaking of votes....my county just sent out instructinons for an absentee ballot for the April election.....I am mailing the request off today.

They allow absentee voting in the 'Show me your I.D.' state?

Glad, as long as our voting system can be rigged and nothing is done about it, I hope we continue to fight against it. We may as well be living under socialism if our vote doesn't count.

Was that the question?
LFF, I voted absentee because I long ago registered to vote in person and as a senior I have the right to vote absentee, legally. I would stand in line to vote if it is law. (Are we getting away from Question of the day?)

No.  The question was do they allow absentee voting in Missouri.  So no.  We're not getting away from QOTA.

I believe Glad answered, right?

Question: Is there any one thing you would change in your past?

I would have tried to join the Navy, after the Army gave me a 4F.
With gas going up, should we have continued on the route of the former administration to energy independence?

A resounding, YES!
It just makes sense while scarcely anything
being done by the Pretender to the Oval office
makes sense.

Question:
Will our neighbors to the north tolerate
the idiotic actions taken by the whiney,
selfish, ignorant Prime Minister?

Such decent, hardworking, intelligent citizens
and he treats them like a brainless herd of swine.

They're getting upset too.  We need to pray about it.

LFF, I have been doing just that, praying. I admit to being biased in the Trucker's favor.

Question:
Will Durham prove Hillary guilty?

No.  She's like Teflon- nothing sticks to her.
Question:  Does Teflon wear out?

Eventually Teflon will wear out(I think)

Question:

Will Trudeau lose to the Truckers?

Nope.  The truckers will run out of money.
Question:  Who sang 'Convoy'?

I may disagree, thousands of Canadians support the Truckers.

I have no idea who sang "Convoy".

Never heard of him.

Question: Why is Trudeau taking a hard stand for mandates?

From BBC news, "This is about keeping Canadians safe, protecting people's jobs," Mr Trudeau told a news conference on Monday.

From Young Conservatives"

The Canadian Govt has contracted with Pfizer (?)
for a period of time to purchase the Boosters. If
I am able to recover the actual article I will post it
here.

Question:  Do the boosters do any good?

No proof: Opinion:
More harm than good.

Question: What is your very first memory?

(Later I will tell my own, unless I have already done so.)

My oldest memory is from the third grade, when I gave a little diamond from a gumball machine to Diane VanderYacht, a first grader, and she kissed me on the cheek.
Question:  What is your memory?

Good solution!

LFF and Glad may recall my earliest memory, or not. 
I must have been three/ playing in a dusty yard with my sister, my brother, a couple of cousins. An older cousin offered to let us chew her chewing gum. After awhile my sister, my brother and I walked home with Mama. She scolded us for repeating something our cousin had said.
(LFF, the romantic even at that young age!)
