    I'm going to throw out a bone to chew on. I submit that if the medical/pharma communities could make more money curing cancer, migraines, the common cold,etc they would have done it already, rather than stringing people along with half as$ed temporary relief which pays them millions if not billions annually.

    Had to search this post up. USPS is the worst around here. Currently waiting on a package. Here's the status tonight. Not sure how it arrived in Grand Rapids 3 times now but never left?

    Then here's the last package I waited on. Went between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo several times before coming up me. (If you start at the bottom of the second picture and work your way up it should be in the correct order.)

    Lol, that is where the soaking comes in. He'll load dishes up, run the washer, but 1/2 or most come out dirty. So I unload the clean ones, actually mostly kiddo does the putting away and soak the ones that did not come clean and wash by hand. That said he started helping with dishes a year or so ago when I fell off from doing it as often. Chvymn99 said a long time ago he just washes and bypasses the new crappy dishwashers, and that's where I'm at now. I'm just not able to them every day now and the cycle repeats.

    John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather in a very secluded, rural area of Georgia.

    After spending a great evening chatting the night away, John's grandfather prepared breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast. However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate, and questioned his grandfather asking, "Are these plates clean?"

    His grandfather replied, "They're as clean as cold water can get them. Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!"

    For lunch the old man made hamburgers. Again, John was concerned about the plates as his appeared to have tiny specks around the edge that looked like dried egg and asked, "Are you sure these plates are clean?"

    Without looking up the old man said, "I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!"

    Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass. John yelled and said, "Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car".

    Without diverting his attention from the football game he was watching on TV the old man shouted ...

    The last time that happened to me a label had to be replaced on the package. Apparently at some point someone who gave a fudge had a clue what was going on. Or not going on as the case may be. Bar codes are great until they don't work or work right.
