I had a crown fall out and I went to a new dentist who had been recommended. She and her staff were so thorough and careful that I felt fine. I will go back there when I need to.
I take CBD to sleep better and it helps.
Yes, that's been the main use of ours for 4 years now.
Can't walk long distances any more. I concentrate on doing things at home. Growing sprouts uses very little water. Never could hunt or fish but we eat mostly vegan now.
Y2K was when we got our...
The way we do it at our house is that we take turns cooking... I do MWF, he does TTS, we split Sunday. Whoever isn't cooking does the dishes.
Need a good way to make simple videos for my websites, researching the free choices rather than automatically spending money.
Several years ago we full-timed for half a year.
Here's our rig: 2988
Here is a blog post with photos of how the inside looked at first and how DH converted it:...
I have family in the Bay Area and I think about earthquakes there too.
That's a good idea,Zippy! Think I might try something like that.
This is a useful habit for us...
We have our own personal finances which are totally joint, and we have a small LLC with its own checking account and credit card. Every Saturday my husband pays...
Nice diversity of approaches here.
We do have water -- a hot tub in our greenhouse could provide a lot of water and we have a Berkey water filter and a couple of other portable ones. Food, not...

Getting rid of clothing that, alas, doesn't fit any more.
I was here for a while and then I got distracted. This week was my 77th birthday and I got an email from this forum. So I came here and thought gee, I'd like to stay in touch here. I am a writer and...
Interesting! I looked first for the health threads at Yucatanliving but eventually found it here!:|(
Have a good trip!
When I lived in Mexico for 5 years (2005-2010), I never got to the Yucatan but I remember that there was a Merida forum for expats that you might find on google. An all-Mexico forum for expats that...
I'm in the middle of this book right now. It's really quite inspiring! She talls about Katrina, 9/11, earthquakes, and more. Some of them really changed their societies in ways for the good.
Uhh... let's see... that was about the time Bill Clinton was elected president... it was pretty basic compared to awareness now. I remember talking about how cooking healthfully tended to take more...
This reminds me of a time years ago when I taught a class in voluntary simplicity. The main point I made was that simple living isn't that simple!
We have lettuce and kale growing in south-facing windows, and my husband is building a greenhouse. I sprout too, broccoli my favorite.
Interesting thread. I'm a librarian by background, got my MLS (before the information science age, UltraliteAngler) in 1969 when "you can always get a job as a librarian" was still true. I've worked...
Learned that our local chain grocery store, Albertson's, has a 10% off day for seniors, the first Wednesday of every month. Put that on my calendar and started a separate grocery list on the...
