Synder's of Hanover Sourdough Niblets: A healthy alternative to potato chips
Snyders of Hanover offers a different snack Most people may not consider a salty pretzel as a healthy snack but when compared with potato chips it really is. Many baby boomers (those born between 1948-1964) grew up eating a lot of junk food. I can recall my cousins and me walking to the store after school almost every day of the week. I usually purchased Wise or Lays chips or a big bag of Doritos. In addition, I would purchase a candy bar and a bottle of pop AKA a soft drink. I have been an avid reader since childhood and enjoyed reading a good book with my favorite snacks. I have also paid a price regarding my health.

It's about time it's about space
It's About Time I was looking for a book today and when I found it I said "It's about time" Immediately I thought about the television show that my cousins and I loved by that same name and the theme song came to mind. I wonder how many others can recall It's About Time which was a science fantasy comedy that aired 55 years ago as of this writing. The program came on Sunday nights at 7:30 PM on CBS and was created by producer Sherwood Schwartz. It aired for one season only from 1966-1967 with only 26 episodes.

Kelloggs Rice Krispies: Classic television commercial
Kelloggs Rice Krispies Commercial: A trip down memory lane "No more Rice Krispies, w'eve run out of Rice Krispies." "My tears will not stop, until I hear snap, crackle pop." These words being sung to the tune of tenor aria "Vesti la giubba" from the opera Pagliacci are etched in the minds of those who recall the popular 1960s television commercial. Actor Johnny Haymer who portrayed Staff Seargent Zelmo Zale on M*A*S*H is the man with the operatic voice. On the long-running television series, Zale was an electrician and knew how to get the camp generator up and running after it went out. He also could get the jukebox pump out more tunes and had a long-standing feud with Corporal Maxwell Q Klinger (Jamie Farr).

Chic-Fil-A: The million-dollar meal
CHICK-FILA- NexT On December 18, 2015, my husband Michael and I went to a local mall. He had just received the money he was going to use for Christmas so we decided to go shopping. The first stop was Zales jewelers where he purchased me a diamond necklace and matching earrings. He wanted to get me the matching ring later but our finances took a downturn and he was not able to do it. On this day, however, we were walking hand in hand and after we finished shopping he asked if I would like to eat at Chic-Fil-A.

The Young and the Restless: Fans are angered over references to Paul Williams
The Young and the Restless: Fans continue to be outraged The Young and the Restless has caused distress among viewers regarding Doug Davidson yet again. Since 2018 the actor who plays Paul Williams has not been a regular in Genoa City and yet the show continues to reference him. Each time they do, fans get their hopes up only to have them dashed. There is a phrase that older generations used to say which I will paraphrase: "Do your business or get off the pot." T

I will listen to my body signals and obey in the New Year
A New Year will soon be upon us and I decided long ago to not make resolutions that I could not carry out. This year my goal is simple and it is to take blocks of time when possible in order for my body to refresh itself. I might take a nap, or sit with my feet up. I may watch a movie and make sure I do not get up during the entirety of the film. Another option is to read a book for a solid hour without being disturbed.
