    Business CEO's and business practices in general

    The key to an effective BOD is their independence. Unfortunately, many BODs rubber stamp whatever the CEO wants to do. They are nothing more than an echo chamber of the CEO. This CEO seems to be unhappy with the blue-collar brand that Cracker Barrel really is. We went through it at the company...

    Business CEO's and business practices in general

    What's the old saying - Dance with the one that brung ya ? Well, they lost sight of what got them to where they were. I realize that companies have to evolve to stay relevant, but you can't basically give your customers the finger and survive. The problem arises when the company leadership...

    So, My Wife's 45 Year Old Visiting Nephew Sits At The Table And Asks Me.....

    LOL that's similar to walking into a bar with your wife and the bartender sets you're preferred beer and shot down without a word........ My wife is the same way with guns, there are so many and so much traffic she quit paying attention long ago.

    Gun price complaints

    The average person really doesn't fully grasp the impact of inflation on personal finance. Folks on fixed incomes really get the point. Some of the market gains mentioned are impressive when viewed as a percentage of growth and even more so when you look at the compound annual growth rate, but...

    If Not Randall, Then What?

    I have a few Randalls, I do not use them. I bought them primarily because my uncle had one, he got when he was in the military stationed in Alaska. He used it as a tool on many hunting fishing and camping trips and believed it was the finest knife a man could own. It was cared for but heavily...

    Anyone Heard From Ivan The Butcher ?

    I haven't seen any posts lately and he was last seen on the forum in late May. He has always been active so I thought I would inquire. I hope all is well.

    Egg Prices...

    We have noticed the beef prices skyrocketing. Gotta give my wife credit she always checks the mgr special when she goes to the store and if she finds it we eat it that day. She has recently gotten some T bones and NY strips at 1/2 price. The packages are usually large 4 - 6 steaks we cook some...

    Darn right, that coffee can sat right on the stove and always had grease in it.

    Egg Prices...

    Eggs are the perfect food IMO. With it being just the two of us we bought them and ate them regardless of the price. I remember eating eggs my grandmother made that we freshly pulled from the henhouse. She would fry a pound of bacon then crack the eggs into the iron skillet of hot grease...

    Tales from the Faulkner Files: Vehicle vs deer

    I guess you can't blame folks who grew up in the urban jungle for their ignorance. You did what you had to do and anyone who has had to do it knows there is no joy in it. I live in east central Ohio, and we have an ever-growing deer population. Several years ago, I was heading out to go duck...

    Tax Eliminated on Social Security Benefits - Mouse Print Says NO!

    One thing about tips today, they are recorded on credit card transactions as we move to a cashless society. There is a clear paper trail of how much an employee received when they cash out for the day so I think more are reported today than in the past when cash was more heavily used. One other...

    Tax Eliminated on Social Security Benefits - Mouse Print Says NO!

    The deduction will help seniors with lower income levels which isn't a bad thing. Right? As far as how it is spun is just that more spin. They all do it so you just have to read and educate yourself. BTW what was the old saying - the pen is mightier than the sword ?

    Tragedy near Kerrville

    A 20 foot plus rise in the river in a few short hours is unfathomable. My heart goes out to the loved ones of the lost and missing and the survivors who will be affected forever as well.

    Napoleon gas grill

    Had my gas grill blown off the deck during a storm and have yet to replace it. I have been using my Weber kettle that I have had for more years than I can recall. I had to replace the stainless-steel grate because it was nearly worn through. I have a Big Green Egg that I won in a golf tournament...
