That's a good idea. I was able to go through photos my dad left behind at his house and reunite the photos with the subjects' children, after 80...

I am not a very sentimental person and we never look at those photos I organized. For a second, I thought about getting rid of all of them but...

I think photos are one of the hardest categories to deal with. At this point, I just throw any photos in one large box in the closet and pretend it...

maybe. I am making soups this week and freezing them so I can add much of it to soups. But I’m going to freeze some as well.

Add to an omelette?

Huge bag of freshly picked spinach just landed on the table here, so I will have to do something with it. I already have salad made for 3+ days.

Last night was homemade pizza. Not sure about tonight yet. I'll get back to you - LOL

Made some kimchi fried rice tonight using left over rice and some shrimp that I bought on sale :D

Major, major accomplishment!

Finished the photo reorganization. Got through the last two photo albums and put everything in the organization bin. Five photo albums gone!! Still...

okay----they say poison hemlock is spreading, and it can be deadly. so yeah---it was recommended that you spray fencelines with roundup to eradicate...

Yeah, those names can be really hard to remember!! I do know of some recent approvals, but I'm not sure any of them sound like "fruity." However, the...

Too funny, and too right!

Thanks for the update. Good thoughts continue.

That sounds very very hopeful to me!! Yay!

Everybody is having an issue figuring out the name of the new medicine. We have modified it, based on how it it spelled, and just calling it...

Never had this brand. More expensive, weird naming makes me not have a clue what is actually the flavor. I have been eating more ice cream since...

Keep it going and keep up the good work! My emergency fund, up to the death in 2020 was $50k. Now I am trying to rebuild it from just shy of...

I saw a quote saying that staying home is the most radical thing one can do to help the environment. It also helps the savings. I too get the lump in...

That's great, Tradd!

haha, you're right--but he should be happy with only 3 dolls, right? I think he's exceeded his limit.

This is my emergency fund. Six months of expenses is $15K. Given the economy and the industry I work in, I want the cash in the bank. This isn’t for...

I think you left out two letters--it's the blonde and brunette plastic Barbies, right?

That is so cool, Tybee!

I am going to try one thing a day for a while. Maybe I will be able to do that, then work up to two, then three.

But of course it will. The goal is to return everyone to a white-male dominated workplace and a white-male dominated culture. It is all about...

I absolutely get that, happystuff. Very hard for me to spend that security blanket in the bank. My husband spent a big chunk on a new vehicle and I...

I haven't bought ice cream from the grocery store in ages, but did have some great ice cream cones while on vacation. :)

That's wonderful, tradd! Congrats! Side question... after seeing savings grow and grow, does it get hard/harder to imagine taking it out and...

I have to eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream. It's a Vermont state law. :). Mmmmm. Imagine Whirled Peace. (I'd eat it just for the name.)

Payday and another $1K into high yield savings account. $3K in big bank savings connected to checking and now $8400 in high held savings. So $11,400...

I have to admit I didn't know there were so many DEI programs in governments, places getting government funding, and private corporations following...

One more photo album decluttered. Three total so far.

Not necessarily true. Laws regarding safety of workers are a prime example!
