Someone asked me if after finding products on the apps I use such as Shopkick and Ibotta if I still use the products after I no longer get credit for them. And the answer is not always but frequently. Since I do not watch TV these are products that I would never try or even heard of otherwise. A couple of products that come to mind, although there are dozens of them are S. Pellegrino and Lean Cuisine. I think Lean Cuisine surprised me the most. I always thought of it as a product for people who need to diet and so they would just eat these little cardboard tasting portions of Lean Cuisine. So, I was amazed when I found out that not only was the food tasty but the portions were actually not that small. Right now, as I write this I am eating their Swedish meatballs meal and washing it down with a S. Pellegrino. The S. Pellegrino I have started drinking because I drink way too many Barq's Root Beers (I am down to 6 a day) and have since I got kicked out at 16. I do not have any health problems yet (Praise God) but since I am getting older I thought it would be a good time to start thinking about my health. With that in mind for my New Year's resolution I am quitting Barq's Root Beers completely because the company is woke and they are bad for me. The first person to see me drinking one after New Year's 2025 gets a $100. You read it here first.

Who is going to take over for Dave Ramsey?
This is who of the five current personalities I think should fill in for Dave Ramsey when he retires.
In the number one spot is George Kamel. He not only has a vast amount of knowledge and wisdom he also has a great sense of humor. The only downside is he can occasionally be too tough. For example, if you are having a hard time paying for groceries but have a horse that is a beloved member of your family he may see a win - win that not only has your grocery bill taken care of but means that you no longer have to feed the horse. I guess that is akin to Dave Ramsey's "Sell the car" and he is a best selling author with his first book "Breaking Free From Broke".
My second choice is Jade Warshaw. She has paid off over $460000 in debt. None of the other ones even come close. She is super intelligent and comes up with questions and answers I didn't even think of.
Third up is Dr. John Delony. There is quite a bit of stress around debt. Dr. John Delony is able to not only help people with the debt problems as well as the stress problem.
The daughter of Dave Ramsey is Rachel Cruze is my second to last choice. Why is she so low? Well, even though she has been around the Dave Ramsey plan quite literally her whole life she still cannot answer a lot of questions. I met Rachel Cruze at a live event without knowing who she was at the time because she was simply standing against a wall like she was just another one of the workers. She asked me what was happening and I said I hoped to get to talk to Dave Ramsey. She asked me why so, I explained everything and her response was...Well, I sure hope you get to talk to him. Zero advice. On the bright side at least with her you get to keep the horse.
Last on my list is Ken Coleman. I don't put him last because he is a bad guy or anything but simply because he is more of a niche type. If you are unhappy at work or do not exactly what kind of job would be best for you that is where Ken comes in. I am not sure how much money knowledge he has although I have always wondered what kind of advice he would have given me if he had been standing there instead of Rachel. I have to figure it would have been better than --- Well, I sure hope you get to talk to him.

Honeywell Home and Resideo sucks
If there is a class action lawsuit against them for this I sure would like to join it. Did you know that any of the products you buy from Honeywell Home and Resideo (a spin off of Honeywell Home) are only guaranteed to last for 2 years. After that they want you to buy a new product from them. I will NEVER buy another product from them. I spent a lot of money to get this and for them to say it is just going to be an expensive paperweight in a couple of weeks because they can no longer be bothered with it just irks me. They sure didn't bother mentioning that it was only going to be working for a few years when they sold it to me and as of today you can still buy the product on Amazon. Just do a search for Honeywell Home RCHS5200WF Smart Home Security Base Station
In my opinion Arlo is the much better choice.

I just started watching a Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q_8sQ9kQeY that started with a lady who said she was an ordained minister who clearly does not know the Bible near as well as she thinks she does. Anyways, here is my response to her claim that the Bible does not talk about people going to Hell who are gay.
1 Corinthians 6: 9–11 (NLT) 9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or PRACTICE homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. However, that being said ALL of us have a sin nature. Some are gay, some are adulterers, some are lovers of self, some are lovers of money and on and on. What matters is if we are saved. We all (myself included) have to turn from our sin nature and turn to Jesus who died so that we may have our sins forgiven. Luke 9:23 ESV (This is Jesus speaking) And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross DAILY and follow me. Romans 6:1-4 (NLT) Well then, should we keep on sinning so that God can show us more and more of his wonderful grace? 2 Of course not! Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? 4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives. I put the word practice in caps simply to highlight that it is NOT the being gay that sends you to Hell. It is the continuing to practice it without turning to Jesus who is the only way to the Father.

Why I believe
I have had people ask me how can I believe in God so strongly. I tell them because I have seen him at work in my life. Think of it like this. If you lived in a house alone and one day you got home and put your wallet on the kitchen table but after you took a shower you found your wallet on your bed. Hmmm, you think to yourself I could have sworn I left it on the kitchen table. The first time it happened you would probably chalk it up to forgetfulness. But let's say it happens day after day and you are making sure you are not taking it into the bedroom with you. After awhile you are going to realize that even though you haven't seen them someone is in the house with you. They are coming out of hiding when you go shower and moving something of yours to a location you didn't leave it. Then going back into hiding. And that is the way I know God exists. I have seen Him move in my life and work things out to my benefit. The first time I could have said Ahhh, coincidence. But the hundredth time? The thousandth time? I have seen Him at work so often in my life and doing things for me I could never even when I was younger and stronger ever do for myself.

Boycotting the Olympics
I am not watching the Olympics because their opening ceremony was a slap in the face to every true Christian. Then to add insult to injury they went to the guy with a cross on his board and told him he had to remove it or he would not be allowed to compete. If you do consider yourself a Christian and are OK with all of that then you may want to examine your Christianity.

Biden dropped out
I told every one that he was going to drop out. They thought I was wrong. I was hoping I was going to be wrong. But, I was of course correct. He dropped out a little while ago and endorsed Harris. My next prediction is simply this (although I hope I am wrong this time) Harris is NOT going to be given the democRat nomination. After all you can just look up Kamala Harris word salad and see what kind of president she would be. Just like you should have looked up bidenisms before voting the last election.

Another rejected coment by democRat Yahoo
Yahoo is obviously run by democrats. It is something they do not try to hide. Almost every political story they run is all from the left's perspective. And if you post a comment on their website they highly censor any comments from the right. Especially, when you are stating facts that make the left look bad. The fact I stated was how the KKK was started by the democrats and the democrats made up the membership. That is a fact and since they cannot dispute this fact they choose to delete it instead. Doing their best to try to change history. Btw...It is also a fact that it was the democrats that owned slaves and it was the Republicans led by the first Republican President Abraham Lincoln that freed the slaves. You cannot change history.

Trump's new Vice-President
Mike Pence was the Vice-President under Donald Trump. I never liked him and thought he was a bad choice for a running mate. Since then he has in fact proven himself to be worth about a pence ( about a penny in UK currency). So, in order to avoid making the same mistake that was made the first time I would like to put forth my choice as a new running mate for President Donald Trump in 2024. And that is <You will have to insert your own drum roll due to budget cuts> Ron DeSantis. So, tell me do you believe this is a good idea? Or a great idea?

Republican Primary 2024
The reason for this is because as you know the government is no longer for the people like they were elected to be. There is nothing put together to do things like make sure they keep their election promises. However, if they know we are all going to vote the same way they will be more inclined to do for the people rather than their own self-interests. I personally am tired of the woke agenda and how they are trying to brainwash kids at a younger and younger age. We need to fight back. I am also tired of those who call themselves Republican but show by their actions they are anything but. For example, our previous Mayor Jeff Bauknight had a chance to protect our kids by getting the porn out of our public library but instead chose to just move it all to a different part of the library and call it good. I guess he thought surely kids that can walk over to the other section would not be going to the library. And now he is running for Texas House of Representatives? I am praying that he does not win.

How does a President cause inflation?
Someone asked me: "How does a president cause inflation?" Here was my response... "Upon entering office the President steers fiscal and regulatory policy. They can also appoint Federal Reserve Governors. Additionally, having huge oversized government spending at the same time you are allowing over 10 million illegals to cross over into our country undeterred. Also, you could kill the Keystone Pipeline, freeze federal leases, shut down ANWR all the while waving sanctions on Putin's pipeline then having to rely on Russia to sell oil to us at a huge increase. It probably doesn't help to have a President who goes around trying to shake hands with people only he can see and having to be instructed where to go and who you can talk to by someone in an Easter Bunny costume."

DemocRATS just don't get it.
Lately, I have been seeing a lot YouTube videos that show the closing of stores like Walmart and others in certain democrat controlled areas where mass shoplifting has become rampant. And the people actually have the audacity to get mad at Walmart for closing their beloved stores. Don't you get it? Your shoplifters don't give them much of a choice. They are in business to make money. That means they can either raise prices to cover the loss which democrats then cry about calling it "price gouging" (it isn't. It's to cover the cost of the stolen items) or they can shut down stores. Instead of getting mad at Walmart they could get mad at the shoplifters. They could also start by voting Republican. When you vote democrat you are voting for crime to shoot up, prices to shoot up and stores to have to close. I know you have heard it said that Republicans are for the rich. That is not the case. If it were then people like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet would all be voting Republican. They don't. They vote and give their money to democrats. Wait till my next post when I tell you the real differences between democrat and Republicans. Vote Trump.

Minnesota Viking Fans
There was a recent ranking made of the different NFL fanbases and for some strange reason this clueless reporter ranked Minnesota Vikings fans at the 20th spot. No explanation on how he came to this conclusion. I kinda figure he just threw all the names in a hat and started drawing names. I can't figure out otherwise how he could be so far wrong. In one game in the 3rd quarter the Vikings were down 33 - 0. Did you see a mass exodus of fans trying to beat the traffic jam. No. Every fan stayed right there and watched and cheered the Vikings to victory. No other teams fanbase would have done that. We bleed purple. Enough said.
