    Rising prices - Wow!

    The one thing I buy consistently every month is my cat's canned food. It has gone up 20 cents a can since the beginning of last year. Edit: Jeeze, I can't math anymore. The cans were .63 the beginning of last year. Now they're .93. That's 30 cents, not 20.

    Did You Have Pet Turtles When You Were Young?

    I have several like the one in the upper right illustration. I also contracted Salmonella more than once from them.

    Wandering Shadows & Other Tails

    Yeah, wet dogs are no fun when they want to be close to us. And with Shadow's coat being like a sponge will share all that collected wet everywhere. I just came in from cleaning up deadfall in my front yard. It's been two weeks since I last did it. I detest Water Oaks and all their limb drops.

    Have you found a way to breathe better?

    It doesn't matter what the rest of us take for heart disease. The various cases of heart disease are treated with different meds and in different ways. Get your behind to a doc.

    Have you found a way to breathe better?

    You're a perfect example of why a doc should be doing the diagnosing and guiding for OP's problem.

    My wife would be very unhappy with Amazon right now.

    Really, it's not surprising. What is surprising is that Kindles of that advanced age were still able to function with the advancements in the technology. From what I understand, anything already on the Kindle will always be there.

    Looks like my step-daughter’s cancer is back.

    I was going to say something that might have made you LOL just when you were going to take a drink. But I decided it wasn't really that funny. I cannot imagine what the toll this is taking on you. I know what it did to me but I wasn't working so it was easy for me to be the driver and support...

    Looks like my step-daughter’s cancer is back.

    Ronni, if at all possible you might need to start going with him and playing chaufer. Due to his disease and ongoing treatments he might benefit a lot from the help. When my own hubs was receiving daily chemo, I was the one doing the driving and the waiting around while he got the help he...

    Have you found a way to breathe better?

    Both the @That Lady in PA and @hollydolly are spot on. See a doc. You need a DX before you go all blind testing questionable fixes. I developed asthma from Covid. It clears after a few months but let me contract Covid again and the asthma returns. I know this because of my doc. I also have an...

    Sidewalk was overly salted, can I re-pour it there?

    Wood would be much more dangerous in freezing temps. Ask me how I know. Never mind, I'll tell you. I lived on a boat for a time in a place that would freeze. I'm here to tell you the boat deck and dock were skating rinks. And the back porch and walk at the back of my house? Yeah skippy, get...

    I'm an outcast and all alone...

    Not considering the flip phone but the rest of what you listed is true for my phone. The only apps I use are maps and search. No other apps on my phone that weren't preloaded and many of those I got rid of.

    What are responders on Quora so abusive?

    It's why I left Reddit. The trolls are never called out by the mods.

    Utility Smishing; the scammers are getting creative!

    This is a good one to be made aware of. I get announcements from my power company via messages. I don't think I've ever had a text from them. Emails? Yes. I get those from them too.

    Eye floaters at night

    Floaters are a part of aging. Like @LoveTulips stated, a sudden or heavy sudden appearance is a warning and it's time to get your behind in to be seen.
