Hypocritical
One of the talks in Sacrament today was about The Sermon on the Mount. The word for hypocrite hasn’t changed much from the Biblical Greek two thousand years ago. For some reason I had never broken the word down to parse it. It’s “hypo” meaning beneath and “critic” meaning to find fault. A hypocrite is…

Dust Buster
I got filters for my dust buster. I have been spot cleaning the floors for days. I am almost out of filters. But I got them from Amazon so I can order a bunch more now that I know the correct specifications. I’m going to try to find a hand held unit to do wet…

Wasting Sauce
I grew up in a home where wasting food was significantly frowned upon. I don’t like to throw away leftovers. We had a bag of meatballs in the freezer for maybe a year. I am finishing the last of them now. How do they taste you may ask. I don’t really think about it. I…

Alcohol Polka
Weird Al has been doing polka covers as medleys for 40 years. Ben likes to listen to his newest one on YouTube. There’s a part where the song blames it on the “a-a-a-a-alcohol.” Ben was scripting that part this morning. That’s up there with yelling, “Kill the men, kill the elves, keep the gold for…
