I can't count the number of used items we have tried to figure out how to stuff into the back of our little SUV. Most recently a very heavy LazyBoy loveseat. DH doesn't want to spend the money on a truck but it sure would make things easier.It is great to have a husband and a truck to haul this stuff.
We probably could have fit these four smallish chairs into our SUV but I didn’t want to risk it so that’s why I had DH go along with me.Originally Posted by pinkytoe
but in the past, there have been some fine scores due to having a DH, a furniture dolly, and a truck.
and I will mention that he moved every bleeding thing we own from the city of St. Louis to Hermann over several years, using the furniture dolly, his little truck, and a little trailer. This includes not only the normal household stuff but crap tons of tools and etc.
Oh, yes, he felt compelled to move hundreds of bricks and hundreds of pieces of limestone here, too. It’s true we have used much of the brick and some of the limestone already.
If you have a Lowes near you, you can rent a truck from them and it's not too awfully bad price-wise. Not sure, but I imagine Home Depot does as well. Just a thought.

Bought a new MacBool Air yesteryear on sale for $150 at Best Buy. My previous MacBook Air was a 2015 model that died around 2022, and then I got a Windows laptop. The difference between the new MacBook and the 2015 one is amazing. Bigger screen, display quality, etc. it was a splurge, but the sale helped.
Oldest lost his wallet two weeks ago. Got a call yesterday from someone saying they found it. Money was still there and debit card not used. Glad to know there are good honest people still in this world.
Tell oldest to put a bluetooth tracker in his wallet. AirTag for iPhone, Tile for Android.
Sis and I went to a local farm yesterday to pick lavender. They have a field of it and for $12, you get a small vase that you can fill. It was a pleasant thing to do on a beautiful summer afternoon. Here's my little sister, beaming with happiness over her newly-retired status, and spending quality time with her big sis, lol.

Oh, that’s nice Rosa about your sister and the lavender farm. We have a lavender farm in Hermann as well.
What fun, rr! Glad you and your sister are spending enjoyable time together!

This is not a thing to "Rave" about but I'm posting in conjection to Klunick's post. K. lost his wallet while we were watching our village's 4th of July parade on Friday. He stupidly put it in the pocket of the gym shorts he was wearing, the very shorts whose pockets are known to not be very secure. It was less than an hour before he noticed it was missing. We've retraced our steps and put everyone in town on alert for it but to no avail so far. Gahhh, the one day where there are many other random people in this tourist town.
I made him run home and cancel his credit and bank cards. Stupidly, he carries his Social Security card in his wallet too. I've told him several times prior that that was a really dumb thing to do but he says, "I've never lost my wallet! I have a system of patting myself down when I go out to make sure I have my wallet, keys, and phone." Well, it only takes that one time. I chalk it up to him being distracted by being suddenly laid off from his job and having our lives upended.
But now this: we'll be running around replacing his driver's license and the other cards, and now there is this very real fear of having one's identity stolen. I'm trying to get him to do the fraud alert stuff at the credit reporting sites. So not what we need right now, and then to top it all off, I am in the middle of a pretty bad sciatica attack and can hardly walk! Neither of us has health insurance quite set up either, as we are still working on the particulars.
I would really love to have something to RAVE about here, like someone turning his wallet in but I am kind of giving up on that idea since it's been two days already...
