I love this idea for us, too! Summers in Maine are great; winters are becoming tough for us.

Oh, thought sewing thimbles.

Thank you, that's so nice of you!! I am thinking of all kinds of possible uses for these boxes now. It would be a good art supply box! Anyway, I...

Would 4H take it for the kids?

Thanks, Tradd, good reminder post! Just went and cancelled Peacock, 5 dollars a month.

Rogar, so cool that you are donating them to the historical society. I might do the same with some of the things I am digging up in my yard,...

Well, I made some offers on Ebay and now I have bought two of these: I figure I can stack them. I am working on moving some of my mom's...

No, it was not insurance, they would not do it without permission of primary.

That's good to hear. It seems these flatware boxes are in big demand for repurposing for other things, like jewelry boxes.

How would you enforce something like that?

But it doesn't have super cheap healthcare. I love Vermont, but it sounds from Catherine that both Vermont and Maine have access issues and scarcity...

that sounds like Maine. At least she doesn't have to pay in Canada.

What a lovely house.

Just had mine at my tiny little rural hospital, and it was very quick, although getting an appointment can take 10 weeks.

For goodness sake, get the muslin curtains and put them somewhere in one of your houses. Just for your mom's sake.

The problem here we experience is that you need a primary referral to get to a specialist, even though my Medicare is not set up that way. But they...

So an internist in a concierge practice. I know IL goes to a concierge practice. There is one here, but I'm already paying so much for Medicare,...

Rogar, what kind of doctor do you go to?

Just packaged up two little boxes of books to send to my son and nephew for their children; childhood books belonging to Dad. Gave three more to...

having been a regular attender at Quaker meetings in Michigan, I believe that Yppej is correct in that for Friends, war is never the answer.

Like Catherine's, my doctor seems to ration out tests so that I suspect she is given a certain number of them to allocate.

That might be good or not so good,I guess. I realize I dislike my current doctor so much that I don't want to go to her or talk to her or have her...

Ooh, I didn't realize they come to your house--that would not appeal to me, either.

When we lived in Illinois we attended St. Patrick's Church and one year, like this year, St Patrick's Day was on a Friday, and the priest got special...

I'm not sure google is anybody's friend.

Yes, I believe so.

It does not fill me with confidence that the head of SVB sat on the board of the SF Reserve.

Hi Rosa, definitely seeds are a gazingus pin, books, stuff I buy to try to become more organized, like planner pages, stickers and the like for...

Yes, I think there is a difference between regulation and oversight. Didn't we used to have more active oversight?

We had century link in rural New York and they were awful. If you get rid of the landline, you may be getting rid of your ability to contact the...

Thanks, happy, it already feels difficult, which I guess shows the nature of the spending addiction.

I am going to try a no spend week, other than paying the tax preparer. I have plenty to eat and wear, and I have ordered books I haven't read yet. ...

Well, since I used to walk to North Adams in my college days, I don't feel too bad for you that way. My best DMV experiences were in South Carolina,...

Iris, I am so sorry for your officers and for your town. That is a tragic loss to your community.

Signature Bank was just closed, too. I guess we will see what tomorrow brings when it comes.

I am most concerned about contagion and bank runs on Monday, and the impact on the stock market. But so far, it has impacted some Etsy sellers and...

because it was announced on a Friday, when they announce the really bad news, and the news was quickly saying, there's no contagion impact, and I...

That's a good point, Flowers. And I do think that when someone sees something that violates a cultural norm about keeping adult sexuality separate...

I had to laugh, Tradd, because I always thought that eating things like shrimp and fish in Lent was so much better than eating meat that it kind of...

Unfortunately, a lot of the kids being abused, in foster care, or running away and becoming homeless are being sexually targeted by adults. So it's...

Gosh, frugal, that sounds nice. Got out of the house yesterday for the first time in a week due to snow and supposedly looking at another snow on...

I am with IL, Catherine, and Terry on this one, having known people who were subjected to inappropriate adult sexual interest as children. I don't...

Organized medical records today and have another grocery bag of old bills to destroy. Files fit in a much smaller plastic box now so made closet a...

A grocery bag full of paper from files--spent two hours going through old files and getting rid of stuff no longer need. Want to do all the files in...

I agree. I also found it eerie that exactly 3 years to the day from the night Mallory died, Alex took the stand. And then exactly 3 years to the...

Yes, there was a real disconnect between what the pundits were saying and what you were witnessing if you watched the trial. That was one of the...

Mandy Matney's podcasts are wonderful!! I started watching the trial two weeks ago and posted here about it. Did you watch the sentencing? Judge...

That's going to be a beautiful Pontiac, Bobby. Growing up that is what my mom drove. My dad drive a Riley (English car) and an Austin Healy (other...

Two punch bowl cups and a flannel shirt that never fit.
