Has anyone used CBD oil for sleep? I have a terrible time sleeping. This was in a local paper a few days ago. I wasn’t aware that we could even do this here. Apparently our law enforcement folks are being lenient right now so I want to try this in case they close the store. Quote from article...

I ran across this term today while just snooping around the internet. I hardly ever start threads, because you guys are so much smarter than I am. I would never be able to defend myself in a spirited discussion. I love reading everyone's answers and opinions and I try to absorb as much as I can...

I'm on my phone entering this message because I can still see the individual forums. I can no longer see the individual forums using my iPad. The only way I can see the messages on my iPad is using the unread tab. It was fine this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Early Retirement Forum

I'm buying a new car. I want to buy from the local dealer...don't ask...just do. I'm not unhappy with the deal they presented me but I don't understand why they can offer me a better price if I finance it at .9% for 3 years over paying them cash.($1200 less) Now, I realize that if I paid...

Someone mentioned playing games on their iPad and suspected it was helping their brain. What games do you play on your iPads? I refuse to be sucked into games on Facebook but games on my iPad sounds kinda fun.

Is there any way to change the color in the poll charts? Yellow is not readable...I just can't see the yellow words at all using my iPad.

What do you do when someone you know dies? Just wondering since I'm sure there will be many instances, as we grow older, when one could use some ideas. I know that sympathy cards are still being sent and some times food is prepared for the family. When my husband died, I received sympathy cards...

I can't get the "Forum Tools" button to respond. There is no pull down menu right now.

Well, I'm going to have my entire thyroid removed next month. I have a goiter on one side and several small nodules on the other side. I had a needle biopsy a couple of years ago, on one nodule, and that one was ok. Anyone have any pointers on what to expect? From what I've read, getting the...

Shhhhhh my daughter is getting married, but no one knows yet.:whistling: Husband-2-B is from Brazil - he is finishing up his masters here. Anyway, here's the problem. They don't want gifts (just $$:blush:) A few months after the wedding they plan to move to Brazil for a few years. That's the...

Anyone getting a little edgy about bedbugs while traveling? It just freaks me out reading about the little critters and how they are multiplying.:eek::eek: I might stay home more even though I don't travel often. I've even wondered about trying on clothes, going to movies or even the headrests...

I found a little problem in my basement today. The shutoff to my outdoor water sprinkler was dripping from the faucet into a bucket and bucket overflowed. The water dripped very close to the furnace and water heater, actually flowing under the water heater into a floor drain. Anyway I was able...

Is anyone else having problems staying logged in? I haven't really been following all the problems or any of the threads for about 2 days now. All I know is I'm having a hard time staying logged in. I sign in, then get ready to read some posts and look at the top of the page and it shows the...

I've heard that when you exercise you should not extend your knees past the toes (lunges, etc.) since it's bad for the knees. I've noticed when I climb stairs that I always extend my knee past my toes. I really have to concentrate in order to NOT extend my knees past my toes. But, when I do, my...

This is a new one for me. Yesterday I received a letter from my internist. He enclosed a letter that he received from my insurance company. The insurance company notified my doctor that I hadn't refilled my prescriptions as often as they thought I should. Gee...now I have to think about my...

I just read this in a Nebraska newspaper. After I read that, I was reading another forum and the question was about pet peeves in grocery stores. I couldn't believe the nasty comments that some people made about what they didn't like in others shopping at grocery stores. Do you find shopping at...

My roof sprung a leak last night. I've called three places for an estimate and seems like all the roofers in town are very busy with all the rains that we have had lately. One said they were not taking any more business right now and to just keep calling roofers in the area. Can anyone give me...

I don't know if I'm the only one having problems or not. I've not seen anything mentioned. For the last two days, I have had problems getting into the forum. I have only been able to sign on 2 times in the last 2 days. My browser (Safari) can't can't connect and it times out with error msg...

Our state treasurer is trying to do some cleaning up of "unclaimed property". I found my mother's name listed under her first husband's last name (my maiden name - when she was married to my father) so I submitted a claim. First I got an email asking for information and now I have a letter...

I have 378 shares of Alltel. Can someone tell me if this "buy out" means that I will have to cash in my stock? Since the buyers appear to be private, that is my assumption, that I will have to "sell" my shares. Do I understand correctly...

My daughter and I are leaving on an Alaskan cruise later this month. We have been visiting a local kennel to prepare our 1 year old Maddie for her first sleep over (13 days :'(). Maddie went to doggy day care one day last week and enjoyed a one mile walk and a short play session with another...

Can someone tell me a little about how sump pumps work? I have a hole in my basement for one but have never bought one. Does it just sit in that hole or is there some installation that must also be done? There is an electrical outlet close by so I assume it's for the sump pump. The hole in my...

When I was w*orking I had projects that needed to be done and deadlines for getting them done. No problem, I worked under pressure and found that I was much more motivated getting things done. Now...after retirement...no pressure...no motivation.... to do ANYTHING. I look at my house and think...

My daughter has wanted to study abroad for quite some time. She has an opportunity to study, for four months, in Berlin, beginning next January. She could also sign up for an additional three months and do an internship. Her living arrangments would be a home-stay. On one hand, I would like for...

My husband was a collector and now, after his death, I am dealing with the sorting and selling of stuff. I know that he enjoyed his collections and I think part of the allure was the hunt involved in finding things. He didn't collect junky stuff but collectables such as World Fair, books (more...
