Dub and Deb

An Opinion on Life

Good morning everyone and welcome back once again to Miz Judi’s Kitchen! I hope all are well and thank you for droppin’ by! If you remember back, Deb told ya’ll a story about her growing up and riding the school bus. Quickly she just stated she’d taken her brother’s shoes and dropped them out the window of the bus. They got home and she and her brother got a whipping…her for dropping them out the window, and Ted for not having them on his feet.

Coverin the Bases Reader Comments:

From Column Covering the Bases posted on February 1, 2011 From: Austin J I, too am concerned about the direction of our country, the current and foreseeable future's uncertainty as related to US currency stability, food/fuel pricing and availability and just plain ol' everyday life. As such I have become a "Prepper". I stockpile MRE's, water, weapons, ammunition, clothing and canned goods (all, except the weapons, are great for bartering).

Dub: Me, Ole Tubby and the Conducts

If you'd noticed we're doing things a little bit different here in Miz Judi's Kitchen. They call it "different formatting," whatever that is, but I believe that's just a milder way of sayin, "Dub...you talkin too dern much!" Whichever the case, Deb and I, and the subject matter we're speakin of has been broken down into several different topic groups. I guess it's called, "progress?" This bein fine with me as long as those three little letters, I, V, and certainly E, don't end up behind the word progress. Catch my drift?
