We live like "that". I retired after working in a job that required 7 days per week for about 10 months per year. This was for almost the last 20 year before I retired. And we had the GD cell phone and laptop that we had to answer round the clock. This was the job and was my choice - so I...

We just replaced our old Epson with a a Brothers Laser about one month ago. We do like it very much so far. But we don't use it very much.

Thank you dory36 !

BAM, Tell them No. Be aware of your surroundings and see if there is more than one of them. As others have recommended, carry Pepper Spray. Walking on an isolated path alone, especially for a lady is not something I would want ms gamboolgal to do. Can you walk with some other folks? If I...

We budget $1,200 for Groceries We budget $1,200 for Eating Out. We rarely spend the full amount, but we also take #1 Daughter out to eat fairly regularly. We also help her with Groceries since she had our first Grandbaby a little before Christmas :smitten:

What Skyking said ! I have rented both of these (similar) in the past. But nowadays I'm also inclined to hire the men along with the kit to do the work :)

One of my Senior Scaffold Supervisors. He had been scaffolding all his life. In his early 50's he fell off scaffold ladder about 2 feet but on metal deck on Offshore Platform. Broken Hip. A month later, back home in UK getting surgery on the Hip, he died in surgery. Man was super fit and had...

Don't watch News hardly at all as unfortunately in my opinion, most of the MSM is very biased in their reporting.

We have pretty well given up and just use the Apple/Mac password auto generated thing. It was easier for the 1st ~40 year of the Internet to use our initials, the old dead dogs name or our wedding date...but the sites required more longer convoluted passwords !

Well, it turns out we had one for years before we figured out it had Air Fry mode....:laugh: We have Toaster Oven that we have used for years, almost on a daily basis. One day, it quit working so we went and bought a exact replacement model, and the lady at the store said it was...

I had herniated discs and had a Neck Fusion for C5, C6 & C7 in 2009. It was successful - like a miracle as I had been in bad pain for the previous 3 years and lesser pain for years before it got bad. Recommend you discuss getting a MRI with the Doctor(s) as you might have herniated discs...

We have hardened / reinforced Doors and Zombie Bars on all windows. It will take Villians having some tools and some time and effort with a lot of racket to gain entry. Plenty of time for ms gamboolgal and I to prepare to hold a proper prayer meeting with the Pilgrims. [/IMG]

mg gamboolgal is afraid to drive. I do all the driving and that's OK. She will not drive anywhere unless it is absolutely necessary. My Grandmother lived on the Farm all her life and never learned to drive. ms gamboolgal would be happy being like that... but that's about as far...

RIP Mr. Butkus sir I grew up watching him. He could and did put some tuff hits on players.

I never knew there was a Mobile Application? Ha ! I've always just logged on like what I do on the Pooter....

This is what we Budget. Some years some of the Categories are a lot less and some years more.... We'll revise each year based on the Actual Spend for the previous year and guesstimate any big One Time expenses for the coming year. 1) Mortgage, if one has one. $0 2) Rent if one rents their...

My mother was an executive Secretary and took shorthand notes. As a young kid, I remember her showing me her note pad in the 1960's. I tried to learn it when I got a little older - but No Joy as it was too hard for me.

Truth is that I like any and all ways ms gamboogal fixes the Bacon.
