Those are so neat!

Ohio is so beautiful. I went to high school two years in Pepper Pike before moving to New Jersey. It was an idyll. Everytime I drive through Ohio...

That's lovely! Here's mine, Danish, circa 1930:

That's funny, I did the same with this picture months ago, but then said alright, I'll offer the last thing they countered withm so this time we had...

I think my basic programming was to save, save, save, and now I am finding that I want to spend on things that are not necessary, and then I feel...

I wrap mine in the receipt and keep it in the car. A rubber band around it would be even better.

I burned a grocery bag full of files from my parents papers. There are still 2 boxes full, but there used to be more, so it's good to keep chipping...

It looks just like Galena!

Cottage law was a big deal where we lived in Michigan because of Lake Michigan and I guess it is in Wisconsin, too--check out this article about...

It took me a minute to get that--you mean like The Devil and Daniel Webster?

That does sound like a good deal. Two thoughts--do you have to pay interment on top of that? In Savannah and in Portland, Maine, the two places I...

I just remembered my favorite character--it was the Akita Kato. If only he could have testified.

That price estimate seems a little low, IL. I paid 5500 for three niches, each niche capable of holding two sets of ashes. The niches are outdoors...

It seems to be legal in some states, not in others, so check that out. In some places the funeral home will arrange interment in the same plot--I...

I'm glad I'm not him having to meet up with Nicole, although supposedly, all that gets worked out somehow.

The books I ordered arrived and I opened mine and couldn't even start it. I think I will try to do one page a day. Or maybe week? I was going to...

More about leaving houses to children--if you want to do that then you have to have enough resources to pay for your care up until death, or be lucky...

Yes, if Medicaid is paying for someone's care in a facility, then the house is sold to pay back the money to Medicaid, that's how it works. It's not...

That is cool. I buried my loved ones where my mom and I were born, but now it's super expensive there, a resort area, so I like to think I own a...

I am glad you got some answers. It is a shame Phoenix is so far, but you have made great progress and I think things will go in a better direction...

Well done! When I buried my parents and grandparents, I added a niche for me, so I've taken care of that. B ut I have not prepaid cremation as I...

Yes, the rainbow was while I was snapping pictures at the apex. Maybe it's just lens flare? I was wrong about the fence, it has faded into blue,...

Wow, at 3:30 just a tiny sliver of the sun through the glasses, and the slice moved down to the bottom.

Thanks, toomuchstuff, just ordered one for me and one for my husband. Looks good.

Am doing every fifteen minutes--just a small slice is covered right now. So glad we got the glasses!

Kay, I really liked seeing the eerie changes in the light in 2017. It wasn't just dark, everything was different. So this year, when we are closer...

Bae, thank you for this reminder to sort this all out. I know we have done only a portion of what we need to do in this department. Your neighbor's...

How great to see you!!!! I agree about the spending less than you earn and flying under the radar.
