Sorry I thought I posted this in chat previously.
What ideas and hints do you have to make life easier and even more fun? Share the wealth?
I'll start.
Store cat food cans upside-down and it will come out easier.
Kill creepy crawlies with damp paper towel. Waggle your fingers on one side of the monster and grab it with the wet towel or tissues from the other side. It works.
To make life easier for yourself — and others — develop close healthy relationships with nearby family and friends. A good support system is priceless.
Establish your services as close to home as possible. Medical, church, shopping, etc.
I have that stereo and a few hundred cds. It was a blast to put together.
Don’t sweat the small stuff
And
Everything is small stuff
So nice to hear.
The key to free.
Very good advice.
That's where I am now. I have a Daddy LongLegs who has somehow lost three of his legs, but is still marching stoically around my front porch. I call him Cinco.
I’m conflicted about this myself, but we did this prior to a very long vacation when we wouldn’t be around to pay bills. We set up autopay for our utility bills. It has relieved a ton of stress from our lives.
It’s even better to ride your motorsickle to the shooting range.
One time when I did that I met a nice gentleman who happened to own a local BMW motorcycle dealership.
For the record, I wasn’t riding a BMW, but he was cordial anyway.
Thanks. I miss him.
Let the birds , and the other hungry beasties kill lil’ ol’spidey!.....
I think spiders are cool, I get a spider bite on my arms or legs about once a year...two little marks close together ..sometimes they get inflamed, start itching ,and start a big infection...I try and exterminate them if they get too close to me...they will be inconsiderate and bite me...
My little town has one of the largest gun companies in Kentucky and it also has a nice indoor range
I was at an outdoor range, with some great roads there and back.

This was 40 years ago. I don’t live in that area anymore.
“My program is called ONE THING PER DAY.
In order to stay busy in retirement and since we are not wealthy so I cannot travel, I choose to set myself a task of doing ONE thing per day, after I get that one thing done, no matter how small or large the task, the rest of my time is mine to spend as I please. I build scale models and read in my down time.”
My “one thing a day” is to drink three beers.
I use glueboards (64 cents each at Walmart) to catch insects.
They are very sticky and any pet or young child will become very attached to a board.
Marry well so you don’t have to do it again. Retire as soon as you can.
I have 5 streaming services. I love the variety of music.
makes you feel better so both.
I’ve heard that somewhere?
I very recently learned that if you place the toothpaste vertically on the screw on lid, it all, every bit, comes out of the tube.
You are able to Balance it?
