Come on, now!! Take ya foot off that gas pedal!! :lau Cassandra

Well, I finally came to the conclusion that I am married to a self-absorbed, thoughtless jerk (and I say that in the lovingest way :lol: ) and I could either divorce him or work around his character flaws and find ways to meet our goals anyway. I thought about it. And I DO love him. And I think...

My insurance company pays to repair windshield chips at no cost to me. (farm bureau) Also, read your manual. I get my oil changed every five thousand miles because that's what the manual says do. Everywhere I go to get the oil changed, even the DEALER which really aggravates me, they push and...

That's it exactly, Morel! Several years ago, my parents went north for the first time (dad doing construction work) and they came back eleven months later with these plastic totes full of "winter" clothes. And you can only fit like two insulated coveralls in a very big tote! My dad is a petit...

That is unfathomable to me! :ep But it looks like we are having our winter right now, too. (And we only get it for a few days at a time.) I only just now checked the extended forecast and we are having lows below freezing for the next several days. That happens so rarely. I know that doesn't...

Have you ever been sick where you just sort of wake up three days later with your teeth feeling kinda furry and your hair an oily tangled mess? (Wondering why there are corn chip crumbs in the bed ?!) I finally surfaced today. I missed my third day of work. John was good enough to take Brennan...

Not terrible. Mild fever (around 100 to 101). It's just the stomach cramps are awful! The only way to get away from the stomach pain is to sleep. But thankfully, it hasn't been hard to sleep. I've probably slept twenty hours out of the last twenty four. Brennan wants to put some 'happy faces'...

A long time ago, I found an electrolyte recipe that was very simple something like 2 tbs lemon juice half tsp salt in eight oz water sweeten to taste (with whatever you like) I can't find it. John is going to get me some G (sports drink) but I hate that stuff. :sick Cassandra

This is not for a two person job, but tricks that helps me with a ONE person job. (I'm not the most graceful of carpenters.) I use a pair of needle nosed pliers (instead of my fingers) to hold nails or staples in place for hammering. Makes it much less likely to bust a thumb this way. (I got a...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Ok... I have to ask: Who's in-laws are wrong? Not mine. I'm totally guilty. It's always my idea. Cassandra

Oh, yeah. A $7 experiment is right up my alley. And that actually sounds like fun. :D Cassandra

Oh, I am jealous. I love mushrooms. But in the real world we probably only spend $10 a year on mushrooms. I couldn't possibly justify the expense of a $40 box of them unless I was certain I could get them to live on and on. That is a future hopeful project of mine. But it will have to wait in...

I know, Wanda. The stupidity is almost enough to send a person into a coma. :he indeed!! I guess it won't hurt our children to go back to wearing potato sacks and playing with rocks and sticks (and reading stone tablets, I guess?) **sigh** How are we consumers supposed to PAY for these items...

Well, it IS going to get in the way!!! :barnie You are so right about that. I'm try to make decisions that don't depend on instant gratification. I believe it's good practice. LOL And I keep asking myself what difference a few months is going to make in the grand scheme of things and the...

ETR, maybe it is fortuitous. My mom gave me a little box of 'happies' for Christmas and one of the things in there was a pretty purple faux leather journal. I just got it out of the box to take to bed with me. Thanks for the idea. ams, I will get some melatonin, too. I am leary about taking...

I am getting mostly disappointed with financial advice these days. (This is nothing against Suze or anyone else.) It was all well and good when it was new, but there is nothing new any more. Not new to me, I mean. I should take that as a good sign. That means I am doing all I can possibly do to...

That is so shocking to me. And I don't mean to make it sound like I am judging anyone, 'cause you never know what can happen to get people in trouble--and you never know what can happen to you. But WHOA. It's hard for me to think in terms of that kind of debt. $8000 a month? That is WAY WAY...

ohhhhhhhhhhhmgosh Karen. How did you know? There is SO much stuff I can't wait to do!! :lol: :lol: It is no accident that I had scheduled my date of departure for just before planting season! :woot I want to get started on my garden right away. I want to declutter the house and sort out what...

Truer words have never been spoken!!! :gig BB, my thoughts are with you, too. I hope this turns into your best opportunity ever. :hugs Cassandra

I know what you mean! Twice in the last several months I have had people ask me to borrow money and I was astounded! This has never happened to me before. Then I had a long sit-down-and-think with myself to try to figure out what I was doing that was giving people the impression I had spare...
