    More Wise Thoughts?

    Offset to the stupid question: "The only stupid question is the one you have but don't ask."

    Daylight Spending Time

    DW and I have been sleeping in until the early morning light wakes us, no alarms except on days when we need to be somewhere earlier than usual. Our rise time has been getting later and later as the Fall progresses. I like this schedule, better than the sudden jolt awake of the alarm. I...

    The 2019 cell/smart phone plan thread

    T-Mobile 55+ best plan we've had. I'm not much of a phone user outside of w*rk, I spent too much time the phone at w*rk (Thank God that's done!) so I avoid it as much as I can. DW, on the other hand, great Lord Almighty. She's not as bad as some kids, but it gets close.

    Waffles or pancakes?

    This is an ongoing battle between DW and I. I like pancakes, homemade of course, with REAL butter and REAL Maple syrup. I'll eat homemade waffles, but we don't make them often. DW, at least for breakfast, eats Eggos with that artificially flavored corn syrup. YUCK! :yuk: I can't even stand the...

    Southern Food(s)

    32 - I'm Northern Bred, but I've been living in the South for 25+ years. A Polish Grandmother could add a few to the list.:) When the discussions start here with friends and neighbors about weird things we've eaten they usually just leave me out because they don't want to hear about it. DW just...

    Gardening In Retirement

    DW has a green thumb and enjoys gardening. Me not so much, I'm used as day labor, haul this, till that, dig here.:laugh: Over the 25 years we've been here we had multiple garden types, butterfly, Knockout Roses, (really a 60 foot split hedge of them, they were gorgeous). Currently she has a...

    Boast about your hometown

    My hometown WAS a mining town. First lumber (logging), then Iron, then Copper, now....... after combining three High Schools from three adjacent towns they still don't have enough kids to field a football team. Sad, really, it was a great place to grow up

    car people - suggest a toy

    We bought a Miata a few years ago, fun little car. It was DW's daily driver, she loved it. We took it on a few 600 mile round trips, noisy on the interstate, but that was to be expected with the rag top. Fun car at the beach! Grandkid(s) came along and she said she needed something with a back...

    Reverse Osmosis water filter

    We have had a RO system for about 25 years in the house. We use it for drinking and cooking. I'm not concerned about the lack of minerals in the water since I'm sure we get those from other food and beverage sources. Our municipal water comes from reservoirs, and here in the South, the water...

    Old time tech illiteracy - examples?

    A few years back I was getting ready for w*rk and the power went out just before I was going to the garage to get in the car. My first thought was GREAT!, now how am I going to get the car out, the garage door is on an electric door opener.:facepalm: I took me a minute or so to remember the...

    What’s a Retired guy to do? Bake a loaf of ‘Artesian Whole Wheat Bread”

    I've been making artisan bread for a few years off and on with good results. I've used a wide variety of flours with many different "additive" grains Oats, Millet etc, and call it my seed bread, it gets rave reviews from friends. I usually make a minimum of two loaves at a time, more than DW and...

    Human Resources are in my life and it isn’t good.

    Sorry to hear about your problem and hope they are quickly resolved. I never had much problem with HR either with insurance or payroll, the little problems I did have caused an inordinate amount of pain. (Don't mess with a person's pay or benefits). DW, fortunately took care of all the phone...

    What is the last thing you ordered from Amazon?

    Polar HR Monitor for DW, her strap was very worn and the transmitter just stopped working. We tried to replace the battery (multiple people tried) all we did was destroy the plastic battery cap. Well, nothing lasts forever.:)

    What did you do today? 2019 version.

    Finally finished getting rid of two huge Pampas grass clumps, each one had to be 10 feet in diameter. Last cold winter was not kind to them and they looked like cr*p this last summer. Cut the summer growth down then dug them out using a shovel and ax. Hauled all the detritus out to the back...
