FWIW, I don’t consider it beating my head against a stone wall. I’m becoming an even better cook because we eat out less. Because we watch zero broadcast tv, very little cable and streaming, we’ve got an excellent library of both books and dvds. We have found other things to do, other ways to do do/buy/make what we need. I’m enjoying the challenge. :-)
Good for you,I have become VERY lazy in my dotage.
