Musings on anything.

My blog was filled up. I'm too lazy to clean it out. So I started a new one.

What a kind neighbor you have.

You're doing the best you can with what you're facing.

Wishing better weather coming your way, soon. In the meantime--afghans are a life saver!

In response to "Food Stamps and EBT"

Although I don't get SNAP benefits, my daughter does, so I've been aware of the purchase limitations for quite some time. I, too, shake my head at the "Sorry you can't have it already fixed; good luck putting together a meal" situation.

In response to "Food Stamps and EBT"

I agree that fraud and other abuses of benefits programs can be a real problem and should be addressed. But it always makes me sad when the solutions being put forward involve making it more difficult to receive or maintain those benefits for everyone. Our first priority should be making sure people have their basic needs covered.

I had shingles twice, as well. Both times in my 20's which is supposedly not very common. I feel yout pain. It is Terrible. I hope you heal quickly.

Where we live, our waste management actively discourages us from going to the landfill ourselves. They charge something like $75 per load you want to dispose of. The only way that would be cheaper than a month of residential waste removal services would be if I had a huge truck or a trailer to haul multiple months' worth of trash all in one go.

In response to "Recyclables"

I used to have a hard time letting stuff go if it was just going to be thrown in the trash. But like you, I tend to use stuff (especially clothing) until it wears out, so I've had to come to terms with the fact that I got my money's worth out of it and nobody needs a shirt with a hole in it, or a pair of shoes with no treads on them anymore.

In response to "Decluttering"

I don't feel I've acquired much, since my wife passed. On the other hand, I've not made much of an effort to "thin the herd" either, so I think I have a fairly good picture of what you're facing. Best of luck!

Congratulations on getting a new computer! Sounds like it will definitely be a relief once you're all set up at home with your wifi so you don't have to go to the library anymore!

In response to "Dental Hygienists"

I have the same issue with my dentist. They really push to have their clients come in every six months, but if I ever have to reschedule, they go, "Well the next available appointment we have is four months from now."

In response to "Clothing Center"

I bought 4 pair of second-hand socks today... hopefully woolen. They are kinder to my feet.

I mostly wear second-hand clothes. A few items I've had for over 15 years.
