Yes, unfortunately Pam.. You are right...
..the problem is now that everything is so expensive, food utilities, .. fuel is at an all time high.. it makes much more sense to buy food in bulk at a cheaper price once very few weeks , and also only pay for one lot of fuel .. but the flip side of that is that it's all to easily available and tempting at home..
I'd like to know... SURELY it should just melt away.. but no.. just because you put weight on eating too much chocolate.. you have to stop eating everything.. everything I tell you.. that tastes good just to lose a few pounds of chocolate..Diets are cruel…..if a person gains weight from over eating on things…….like CHOCOLATE !!!!……why is it…..when you stop over eating…..like CHOCOLATE……that the weight doesn’t just fall off..
If I had a barn, I'd have it full to the brim. Covid cases are rapidly going up and we had 3 deaths today in Edinburg. Who knows what will happen in the future. You are smart.Yes, unfortunately Pam.. You are right...
yes.. and it's very handy of course, because aside from the freezer.. and the shelves with all the canned and dried goods.. I've also got stores up there of TP/Kitchen paper, paper plates, disposable cutlery...OTC meds.. even kindling and water treatment in case of emergencies.. and there's absolutely no doubt that the Barn since we built it 3 years ago has saved me LOADS of money on the food and extras bill.. however despite my freezers and fridges being 1/2 full up with high fat stuff, it's also 1/2 full of low fat stuff, like my batch frozen skinless chicken, and mushrooms .. and more veggies than you can shake a stick at.. even frozen fruit up there.. so the good thing is apart from Bananas.. which I've just run out of.. I don't even need to leave the house to buy special diet food..
That just plain sucks. CHOCOLATE !!!!!!!I'd like to know... SURELY it should just melt away.. but no.. just because you put weight on eating too much chocolate.. you have to stop eating everything.. everything I tell you.. that tastes good just to lose a few pounds of chocolate..
No……changed my mind……going to go have some Truffles…..I'd like to know... SURELY it should just melt away.. but no.. just because you put weight on eating too much chocolate.. you have to stop eating everything.. everything I tell you.. that tastes good just to lose a few pounds of chocolate..
You're right it's a fairly major job if you don't already have a ready area where a shed could go. That's what put us off building the barn for a while. We went back and forth thinking maybe we'll get someone else into do it.. and eventually we did it ourselves)... the as soon as it was built, my o/h wired it all up, , put plug sockets in, overhead lighting, fitted a workbench .. and outside attached a waterproof socket so we could have a water feature in the garden.. but all of this was done over several weeks.. both of us in our 60's and him working full time as well at his main job .. so took a little longer than if we'd been younger
I wear sunglasses all the time when I'm out.. Sun or cloud.. .. not rain... in the garden, shopping, driving ... everywhere ( you can even see them in my avatar when I was sitting on my terrace).. I wear prescription sunglasses which cost a lot of money, but I really do think sunglasses protect you eyes from all sorts of future ailments
I used to wear prescription ones years ago when I had the money to buy them. Then a lot of years I was poor and didn't have the old ones anymore for some reason. I have known I needed them for some time now so had been looking at the clip on ones. Yesterday Sonny saw me looking at them and told me to try them on and then he got them for me. I like them a lot even though they were not expensive.
That's fab.. and I understand about not having the money for prescription ones.. I was in that position myself when I was raising my daughter alone..
It's a large size, if you have a teensy kitchen area/ teensy counter/ teensy cabinets and shelves, (like I do) unless you truly replace your other items with it, and use it frequently.
I had decided to seriously consider one, after all the encouraging SF posts, but then, ended up disappointedly changing my mind, when I learned that they don't come in a smaller size unit.
Seems like a great item, if it fits in, with your space and with your cooking and life habits.
I recently acquired an instant pot (my son and DIL received one as a gift and had no use for it so they offered it to me). I'd dithered about getting one for at least five years. It's basically a multi-faceted, countertop sized, electronic cooking appliance that has all the features of a pressure cooker, crock pot, rice cooker, steamer and in some cases a yogurt maker, dehydrator and air fryer. Mine has all of those features and is roughly the size of a large crock pot. The air fryer part is another top, so that's a space-eating beast. I purged some stuff from my garage to make room for that part of it, and am keeping the regular air fryer in a kitchen cabinet.what does an Instant pot do ?
I knew that you could answer @hollydolly 's question on this one, much better than I could!

), then to the bank, the UPS store to mail out a birthday present and finally to the pharmacy to pick up two prescriptions. Total expenditure = $195.
