We looked at a spring fed house in Maine. It was different from a well as it had no dug or drilled well. The water was piped directly from the...

More letters. Am sorting and bundling but only reading a few. Hard to know what to keep, as I can't see my kids wanting these.

What would the drive to work be like? How far, and what are the roads like?

Last two nights has been cornucopia salad--it would be good in summer, but felt the need to make a salad, and this one makes a huge pyrex rectangle.

Nine various pieces of clothing from cleaning the closet. A fifty year old letter from my brother to my parents. Ugh.

I pay right around 400 a month for Medicare B, a supplement Plan G, and a bare bones cheap prescription drug plan.

I keep hearing Ethel Merman in Gypsy singing, "I have a dream, a wonderful dream- all about roofs and electric circuits"

He has to reject intersectionality because otherwise, people would see how his own identity as strong white male politician has been impacted by his...

I bought a pound of Cabot butter at Walmart for $5.27. Man.

What a guy!

I imagine change is coming there, unfortunately. I went to high school for two years in Middletown and we rented in Seabright at first. We used to...

That's great. It sounds like she made the right decision for her quality of life.

I guess my fear is that the knowledge never transfers, and you just start all over again.

Yes, that's true, and why I would rather not get a knee replacement. Fear of a bad result.

Wow, just went to research thin famous people who needed joints replaced and found this about Katherine Hepburn: "In 1974, at age 67 Katharine...

Thank you, Sweetana, that is amazing. I think she is a really strong person and was always in amazing shape.

Wow, Terry, that is a good argument for biting the bullet. 90 years old!!

My husband says he is going back to masking in public. I can't take it so I'll just stay away from people again. I have to mask at doctor's...

WOW!!!!

When we moved here to Maine we bought really cheap foam mattresses in a box at Walmart. Like really cheap. I thought they felt weird but husband...

Hoping you feel better very soon, happy!
