I agree. Go Solar and his associates are excellent.

" 87,000 armed IRS agents" "This claim misrepresents a 2021 U.S. Treasury Department report estimating that around $80 billion in funding would allow the IRS to incrementally hire nearly 87,000 employees by the year 2031. Most of those hires would be replacements for workers retiring from existing positions, including not only IRS enforcement agents, but also customer service and technology specialists. According to the Treasury Department, audit rates for those earning less than $400,000 in actual income will not rise. ...only “special agents” who investigate criminal violations of the tax code are authorized to carry firearms." I don't like paying taxes either but I am in favor of the truth. Cactus Mike

I didn't try the "secret formula" so I have no idea if it would work. I doubt anything would work. As far as I know, the problem is due to building walls that don't include a moisture barrier between the bottom of the wall and the foundation and, once it's built wrong, it's too late to correct it.

Interesting about being able to pay cash. I'll give that a try again if I can the right button to click on.

The purchases I've been trying to make are for same day groceries. The problems I've been having with the BBVA were that newest generation cards don't have pre-assigned security codes but, instead, require that you generate them by means of the BBVA app at the time of purchase. However, Walmart submits it to the bank, but the bank never seems to accept it. I also couldn't use the dynamic security codes with the debit card to use with paypal for the same reason that the security code generated and stored will no longer be valid at the time of use. I was able to use cash in the past, but that option disappeared from the Walmart list of payment options. The last time I tried to use the cash option before it disappeared, the web site's error message indicated that option was not available to me. Maybe I'm on some sort of Walmart blacklist??? I finally found a combination that works though (at least so far). I set up a Mexican paypal account for my wife and used the Actinver debit card as its associated bank card and that worked.

Has anyone successfully used a debit or credit card to make an online purchase at Walmart? I've tried a US credit card, a BBVA credit card, a BBVA debit card, and an Actinver debit card and they were all "accepted" at first only to be rejected later and the order cancelled. Of course, no reason was ever offered nor was there any notification that the order was later cancelled.

I googled "IARC glyphosate" and found something that might clarify the reason for the different findings. In the IARC report, the studies they reviewed were from "17 experts from 11 countries" written by "independent experts, free from vested interests". In contrast, the EPA reviewed a database of "studies submitted to support registration of glyphosate (working for the glyphosate industry perhaps rather than independent?) and studies EPA identified in (cherry-picked from?) the open literature. If it's so harmless, that begs the question of why the EPA set "a tolerance or limit on how much pesticide residue can legally remain on food and feed". In any case, widespread use of it poisons bees, other pollinators, Monarch butterflies, and other insect species--some helpful and some harmful--which will lead to further degradation of the environment.

I have a DSR600 receiver and a Shaw satellite dish I'm not using and either or both are free for the taking. (Whoever might want the satellite dish would have to arrange and pay to have it removed--otherwise, free.)

I'd like to second Bokko's comment about Chuy. He and his sons did a thoroughly professional job painting the house. They were neat, efficient, and easy to talk to and made sure everything looked as good as new (or better) when they were done. They fixed roof leaks as needed too.

What's today's bad news? All I saw was good news. Please point me to the bad news because it seems to me the vaccine is very good after all.

This is an approach similar to one that I've thought about before. In our garden with various food items for the leaf cutter ants there are flat paths that converge on a fountain which has a steep drop down into the water. Once, I was cleaning the fountain and found several hundred dead leaf cutter ants in it. Unfortunately, I could never figure out what had attracted them to the fountain. I looked up formic acid suppliers and learned that in concentrated form it is very dangerous in terms of flammability and toxicity. I don't think it would work anyway based on the article on this topic I found at the URL: The Importance of Pheromones as Trail Markers for Leaf Cutter Ants – Tropical Ecology 2016 (wordpress.com) Some (all?) leaf cutter ants are attracted to sugar water which was a surprise to me and now I'm thinking of making a trail of sugar syrup droplets leading into the fountain to see if that would attract them. Also, I was thinking of trying a trail of leaf chunks with and without sugar syrup drops on top to see how that might work.

I haven't received my stimulus check so I checked on the IRS website as suggested above. I requested a check and, lo and behold, they will be mailing it today. Quite a coincidence! I wonder if they would have sent it if I hadn't asked for it. Of course, I still haven't received it...
