Gregg, the only big complaint I ever sent to management was the rude (and I mean really rude) employee at the customer service? counter who ridiculed us for converting back to a basic membership. ...

I sincerely worry about the population of China, global warming, and the resulting lack of food. Many things are happening to destabilize the system that China is operating under and cracks are...

Whole villages in Alaska shop at Costco in Anchorage AK and ship back home.

We find it hard to get out of Costco for less than $100 and it is just the two of us. Too many impulse buys. I have...

Yes, I remember 13% mortgage interest. My husband did not invest in Certificates of Deposit at that time but I was more cautious and felt they were very safe. Got a nice return. Learned to pay off...

IL, again I think we all were relatives in a past life. Hubby and I have spent the last year selling our stuff on Ebay and donating the proceeds to our favorite organizations. DO NOT MISS anything...

We still stop by our favorite little Kroger and love their discounts due to close best buy dates. Found a package of butternut squash noodles for less than $2, extra lean ground turkey for $2.19 a...

Depends on how far but I would write it up with all the math and take it back with your write up in hand. $10 is worth it. Also send a contact to the corporate office and maybe Facebook post on the...

Sounds like they will be accepting of a lot of leftover stuff to get you out.

My "sense of place" is Alaska. Grew up there and one of my brothers is still there. BUT, limited health care for seniors (and many others) is a major obstacle and there is zero chance my husband...

Perhaps the best option is to find a very small cheap place for him to sleep just where he is and pay directly for it! so he cannot use the money on anything else. At least your expenses are fixed...

Pinkytoe, my husband has been tracking his sleep statistics and having alcohol in the evening, even if early, affects his deep sleep. He has months of data to support this. Just another thought. ...

In our downtown historic neighborhood people think crime is up. But in the 70/80s, houses were regularly burned down and drug crime and prostitution were obvious and no one cared. The area just...

All of this makes me actually happy I am the age I am right now and retired. My Dad is turning over in his grave. Instead of everyone working to make early education and access to it easier and...

I wish there were some (and I might try it) who go out and plant sunflowers all over town. Last year there was a volunteer one in a tiny patch of soil downtown and we all watched it grow all summer....

Yes, and this normally works but a 21 inch interior hallway with a ragged edge stone side makes for a difficult trip. Imagine trying to carry anything. This was the house built for no servants. ...

We just visited some Frank Lloyd Wright houses and then were watching some Youtube videos. Someone bought one and wanted to demolish it. Someone else painted over all his specially created wood...

Butter with really good cheddar or maybe a mix of cheeses like swiss, gouda, etc. Thinly slice an apple and put the slices between the cheese. Got the idea from a popular local restaurant. Try to...

I now am very careful of volunteering to help anyone move. A "friend" asked for help moving her apartment from one complex across the street to a different one. Problem: She was on the 2nd floor...

It is a bit of a drive from the midwest especially when planes are not an option. I just continue to pay for really good health insurance.

There is a great documentary by The Fifth Estate on the Canadian rental market reposted on Youtube. I think this is the site: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSKOfmrHfQ4

Not just an issue for...

The potential of interest rates hikes is raising anxiety among potential homebuyers and the inventory of houses for sale is still incredibly limited. Supply and demand.

They are moving our entire court system from downtown where I can walk safely to an inner city area of dubious safety. Whole area where the court building is being built is being dug up, changed,...

A former CEO of Eli Lilly had a wife who committed suicide right after her kids finished thier higher level schooling. Even though she had access to the best quality treatment in the world, used it...

A lot of us take having a doctor or dentist for granted. I did until I had a friend in rural Iowa that had to travel 2 hours one way to a cancer specialist and for treatment. If she did not stay...
