Thought I’d better say something to see how the response worked. I’m enjoying the new software and do not see many ads. I just increase my viewing screen a little and the right hand column hides from my view. Work very nicely from my IPad.

I used to travel, making arrangements thru a travel agent. Now, I just don’t travel any more. There comes a time when the hassle just doesn’t make sense any longer, for me anyway. My cooking has changed too. I used to make recipes that used multiple ingredients and spices. I cooked meat that...

I’m a long time member, however, I’ve not posted in years. When my husband died, 18 years ago, we were in the process of transferring our investments to a management firm. I have always wondered if my husband knew he was dying at the time. Anyway, I am grateful for that decision, one less...

I have a checking and savings account at my credit union. I also have an account at Wells Fargo, but, that account only holds my credit card.

I’m taking a cruise around Norway in a few months. I finally booked a business class lay flat bed.

Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

I’m very contented, enjoying each day as it comes. Never know what’s around the bend.

I like that picture from Axios. It looks like the stores that didn’t adapt to the new world eventually were left behind. Walmart really has adapted over time.
