I noticed some online said anti-flicker so maybe it is something with cheaper ones. In any case, I bought some soft/warm white ones yesterday that were about $2.50 each. We have daylight ones...

Some of the LED bulbs we bought two years ago are now flickering which is very aggravating.

I haven't needed to buy light bulbs in a while and am shocked at how expensive and confusing to buy they are now. Lumens and various shades of light - I really don't know which to get so any advice...

I never did the Black Friday thing as it did not appeal though I had in-law relatives who would pile into the car at 7a on Black Friday and head out to shop. I have noticed that Facebook ads have me...

We do live longer but with more chronic morbidities and drugs to keep us afloat but not in a desirable state. Case in point - my MIL. Just turned 89 and is in bad health but still alive. If not for...

I remain Jane's sidekick - a skeptic when it comes to most pharmaceuticals. I figure the same thing will happen with Ozempic type drugs as it will be prescribed like candy once the price goes...

This reminds me of the news story about the man that drank 16+ glasses of black iced tea everyday and ended up with kidney failure from an overabundance of oxalates. All things in moderation as...

Other than iced tea with lemon, I am not a tea drinker. DH is though and prefers Earl Gray and Japanese Sencha which he found at Natural Grocers in their bulk section.

Alrighty then...here's my two cats. Cute dog pic, Catherine.

If we have leftovers, we tend to eat them for lunch the next day and then make something light for dinner. But yes, we always eat whatever is left one way or another. As an example, DH made an arroz...

I wondered about Razz too - from Canada, right? She was very intent on staying positive which I admired so maybe she got tired of some of the political stuff. It has been quite a while but I also...

We have Mormon and some other fundamental type of religious families in our neighborhood. I guess if you never leave the sect or expose your children to any other world then you make it work. The...

Lima beans with corn muffins and steamed greens.

I wish that were the case with the house next door. The weeds in the privacy fenced backyard are 4 ft high with mice and skunks expanding but no one can see it from the street. The front yard is...

This topic reminds me of the empty house next door. For two years now while the two 50-something children fight over their mother's assets. Inheritance can bring a lot of turmoil when greed and...

I received small inheritances from each of my divorced parents who passed within a year of each other when I was 35. We weren't the brightest at that age regarding money but it helped us buy a house...

Frugal - If you really get into gardening, I can send you all sorts of plants that did well for me in TX. Yellow bells for one.

There are bad dentists everywhere. DH opted to stay with dentist and have the three crowns. One down, two to go. She was just nominated as best dentist in the city so lack of skill is not an issue....

Can you borrow a cat?

I may be just as opinionated as Jane about food. There is another book about processed food called Eat Everything: How to Ditch Additives and Emulsifiers that explains their effects. I tried to buy...

When we first got our now elderly Siamese cat, he would drag a piece of string around the house and howl. Then he would try to hump it even though he had been neutered. A string?

The slinky sounds like an inexpensive option. Today I watched a squirrel drag the last butternut squash across the yard and over the fence. It was bigger than him so made me laugh.

I tried for a while here but the squirrels are ruthless and never give up. I am hoping all my native plants and seed heads will help the birds along at least a little bit. Yesterday, I actually saw a...

I had harvested the last of the Black Krim tomatos and pondering what to do with them. DH decided to try making something new - tomato pie so that is dinner tonight with a salad.

Thanks for letting us know. I already miss her commentaries.
