Since 2003. Wow!

No, I do not. Just seemed sadly inevitable.

Yes, Loose Chickens. She was inspirational to me. I still think about Hoosiernan and WJ (?) Simon on occasion, RIP. =(

I was thrilled to meet lhamo and shadowmoss in real life this year, after 14...

Hello!

Interesting, as that's my area now and near where my grandparents and other relatives lived as well. One of my grandmothers was a farm wife, raising 5 kids in the 40-60s with a huge vegetable garden....

Hey, Steve!

Depending on when you left I've moved 3 or 4 times, bought a house with my new (almost) husband, and started a business. Things are good.

I think that was the worst day/night of my life. I'm terrible with fasting already. Then the prep on top of that. I was so nauseous and miserable and couldn't sleep all night. I almost went to the...

Yes, this. Very odd behaviour.

And I don't think you are overreacting. I'd be pissed off given the type of things that were thrown away.

No, sadly. Though I did buy a saw and some wood to make compost bins and raised beds, so I'm excited about that. It's warm enough to saw outside now.

The only cruise I'm interested in is from Vancouver to Alaska. I think that'd be great. One day.

Yeah, this has been a thing in dogs for at least 15 years. It just reminds you how terrible sugar is. Of course I still eat it, but if I got cancer I'd change my diet right away.

Oh wow, it's been a long time since I posted an update. I've been busy and a lot has happened.

November - we were staying at a furnished apartment (SO wasn't eligible to get all his stuff moved...

Yes it's unclear how much phone or Skype talking has occurred. I'd want lots of that first. And regardless if you are uncomfortable don't do it. And don't give out your address. You could also ask...

Check it online for sure. I check mine at least once a week, especially for fraudulent charges.
You could also each have your own credit card.

Oh, that's terrible. Good on you and your family for supporting her. I'm so sorry. It must be heart-wrenching. We (Canada) are hearing about so many Fentanyl deaths lately, it's seems so out of...

Good for you. I totally get the difficulty with putting yourself out there. I've been edging that way myself - it's scary but good.
When you go to enough things and get enough experience there...

You pick the prettiest puzzles.

I think the best part of being single is doing whatever you want however you want. You have so many more options of moving, type of house, amount of money to spend, how to spend your time, etc. Just...

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous and not very responsible to not discuss and plan for these things. SO and I are only in our 30s, but have plans in place so the other isn't financially strapped by the...

Amazing. Good for you!

I bought a cider at a bar for about $8 - totally not worth it. Expensive, drinking makes me feel ill, and it doesn't increase my enjoyment of a situation. No more drinking.
I bought new yarn for $60...

I'm really enjoying my friend's blog:
https://financialtipsforthebroke.com/

Lots of lifestyle and low income tips.

Yep, it's definitely hard; both moving/upheaval - job and living stuff, and the meeting new friends. I'm lucky in that at least I have my SO and sister here. So that's something.
But I haven't met...

Thanks! I will look into that book. I really want to expand my ethnic cooking skills. I go into the Indian, Asian, and Mexican stores and there are so many fascinating ingredients that I don't know...

Both seem fine. I've used wix and am familiar with weebly. I'd be comfortable with either.
