I am convinced common delivery of Junk mail is designed to cause Arthritis tearing it up.
Is a Lawsuit beginning because of the plan to keep us from tearing up junk mail.

As someone who now has vertigo and a lot of dizzy spells From three concussions, PLEASE be mindful of that for yourself.

You may have no idea of how wobbly you might be until you try to climb something more than a stepstool and find out you can’t. Believe me, that is a sinking feeling to know you can’t do your own stuff, but it’s not worth losing your balance and falling off the ladder, as I trust when you use the term “barn roof” you need more than a two-step stepstool😇😇

BTW, the bee stings lasted ~3-1\2 days relieving the arthritis in my hand. If I thought I could direct them to the spot in my lower back, I might go stand at the other pipe gate and hammer away😂😂. Turns out this is a very old remedy in parts of the southeast United States. The project manager of my new pest control company said his grandfather had rheumatoid arthritis and raised honeybees. When the pain in his hands got so bad, he would go get a couple of honeybees and let them sting him in the hand to relieve the pain for a few days.😳😳

Thanks for your concern.. Yes I need a very long ladder to get up onto the roof, it's pitched roof as well so I can't actually stand on the roof much as it would make life easier if could... ..I have to do these things myself now the O/H has gone.. fortunately I don't suffer dizzy spells.. but I do find it's harder to get up and down from the ladder than ever before.. I seem to find the rungs much further apart when I'm coming down..😖

I had the barn roof done at the beginning of the year , and paid a handyman to have it all re-covered... but that is all falling apart already, so I don't want to call that same guy again.. but finding someone else affordable is proving difficult... ...thanks tho' for your concern.. I try to be as careful as I can..

Thanks for the info re the bee stings.. and the OA.. I couldn't allow a bee to sting me on my sore hands to relieve the pain of the OA ..I wonder if there's another way of getting Bee Venom... without the pain..

I have used spray adhesives and Silicone on Roofs that got hit by a branch from a tree, they break and big end basically
falls 1st to ground cause it heaviest and thas how gravity works a lot of the time. That heavy end can do lots of damage
but Doll thas how you fall too!

Your months from moving a ladder, hauling a Step ladder. Just call a handyman and tell him urgent and you're hurting.
Your insurance company will send one to you now, not next monday.
There are company's that spray roofs . ... :coffee: ...

They will be there in the morning to look it over and give you options, that adjuster know stuff.
Your taxes paid, they paid at due date, they not gonna ignore a huge property claim due to
thems lack of ability to get it fixed. They know who they want doing stuff too.

I bought another set of no-show socks that have bits of silicone on them to prevent slippage. Ingenious! I'd bought a set of four a couple of weeks ago to try them out while out of town. Turned out they stay put on my feet, are comfy and wash up well, so I bought a set of 8 yesterday. They're very comfy and it looks like I don't have socks on when I'm wearing sneakers. (My preferred look.)

Since they don't show, I bought all white instead of a color assortment.

Next step is to trash my old "no show" socks that slide down to the middle of my foot within an hour.

Well, went nuts and bought more Amazon items. Not a long list, but another $500 I'm having to pay off.

Now I'm wondering who I should torture. I have a Doogee phone, can tolerate t-mobile (barely) at 4G. Otherwise it's useless.

Anyway, more fun and games
 
I got a 3 part bargain today at Albertson's, they had a fantastic sale at the deli. Buy 1 lb. of Kretschmar London broil roast beef Normally $15.00lb. on sale for $12.99. Get part 2 & 3 free

Part 1. It was a little over a lb. Cost $13.88 I asked for & got that amount chipped. Going to use for Philly cheese steaks. Should be able to make 4 steak sandwiches.

Part 2. a free lb. of Kretschmar provolone cheese normally $10.99 a little over 1 lb. @$11.26. I vaucmmed repackaged for use in a variety of possibilities.

Part 3. Ham off the bone normally priced at $12.99 about 1 1/4 lb reg. price would have been $14.48 I asked for thick 1/4 inch slices that is why there was more than a lb. I got 4 slices to use for ham & egg meals.

Reg. price total would have been $39.12 3 part bargain total cost to me was $13.38

I had to google a Doogee phone🤠

What caught my eye was the fact that you have T-Mobile. I hate them and the reason I hate them is I literally crushed my skull open a year ago under the overhang of the barn. I heard my skull crack open. I could barely get up, but I knew I had to because I had to have my husband to the cancer center for his treatment in four hours.

T-Mobile was not worth the powder to blow it to the next county and back. I could not get a signal, not even under the overhang, and wide open on three sides.

I switched back to Verizon, who, while they tiss me off with how much money they charge, I can at least get a signal under the overhang and also inside the metal barn.

My point to saying that is T-Mobile is worthless. I wouldn’t be so quick to throw your new phone under the bus. You might try switching to Verizon first if you can afford the upfront cost to change.

No that's the problem with this phone it won't work on anybody but T-Mobile. I've done a web check IMEI check and it always comes back that T-Mobile can handle it but only at 4G.

I too have not been impressed with t-mobile, that's why I did switch over to Mint mobile, but it's been acting up a bit and I'm kind of debating about going back to Verizon myself.
 
My vision has gotten so bad that I finally broke down and bought a new television.

55” Samsung Crystal Smart Television

It’s old technology, inexpensive, but light years ahead of what I had.

I retired the rabbit ears today along with my AirTV.

Samsung provides an enormous amount of free content, too much for me.

I need to experiment and create a short favorites list.

The good news is that I don’t have to get out of my chair and walk to the television to read the program information! 😉🤭😂
 
New glasses. They sure are expensive even with the seniors’ discount. The last pair were too heavy and too large. Now the style is really large and I had a hard time finding a smaller pair that I liked. Time to look for a new pair of fitovers (you know, those ugly sunglasses that cover your regular glasses). Transition lenses aren’t enough for me.

Not exactly bought, and I don't have them yet. The fellow who makes my shoes so loves the Hawaiian shirts that my wife makes for me. We did a deal, an Aloha Shirt for a pair of spectator shoes in light blue & white. Colin my cordwainer, has taken the shoes to his trade stall at The Twinwood Festival. Twinwood was too much for my lady this year but the couple who organise and run our Tuesday dance night are going to Twinwood, they have kindly volunteered to collect my new shoes. It will be Tuesday, at the dance night when I finally get them.

Watch this space on Wednesday next.
Colin has a shirt of top quality fabric, he also has, and it's something that he pointed out ages ago when he fell in love with one of my shirts, he has what is called, alignment. It simply means that the shirt panels line up and the pocket all but disappears. He was very impressed when he first saw that.

See how the panels line up and how the pocket becomes integral. The photo below gives you a close up.

yes I've always been highly impressed at your wife's abilities as a a tailoress/seamstress/shirtmaker... extraordinaire...
 
Thank you Holly, so complimentary of you. Hand on heart I am ashamed to say that I take for granted much of what is in my wardrobe. I don't take the lady for granted, far from it, she is a kind, caring sort of person. She might have made a good deal of money from her talent, instead she does it for pleasure and in her working life she was there for so many when they needed her. My incredible wife served in the ambulance service as a paramedic for most of her working life.

yes I know I remember you telling us. I know you're very proud of her... I remember saying to you waaay back that your wife would have made and incredible amount of money especially if she had been a tailoress to the stars... and you said she chose her paramedic career above all else.... but she chose to do both things extraordinarily well.. and it does you good for outsiders to remind you, how fabulous she is...

Yes. Eyeglasses sure are expensive if we choose something other than those stodg/ugly frames Medicare wants us to have.

My eye appointment is in September and I can’t wait to get there.

I wear transition glasses but I also have a pair of wide black framed sunglasses for driving, bush hogging, and mowing. The lenses have every outdoor tint known to mankind on them. Not cheap, but they are the splurge in my otherwise very cheap and shoddy wardrobe 😎😎

Five rolls of Necco's for $1.25 each from a Dollar Tree store.
Click to expand...

What a nice unexpected surprise within this otherwise chocolate dominant candy world!

So what this means is we need to plan to in the near future have an online group Necco's Taste Challenge Event where we intercommunicate by with posts while online. A kind of online casual group live activity!

  1. Like could decide on a near future day of week and time of day,
  2. then allow members to have a couple weeks to secure a supply of at least one roll of Neccos from wherever they might locally find them.
  3. So each member would unwrap the circle wafers and color separate them into like piles of a few each.
  4. Then online, we could let one member at a time choose for everyone to then simultaneously eat a few from one pile of the flavors after which will all comment tersely haha,
  5. And then go to the next flavor round.
  6. But the chocolate wafers have to be the last.
  7. And then tabulate our scientific study numbers in order to later submit an AI processed research paper for, ;)
