Thank you. Continuing being productive after retirement is on my to-do list. My parents keep me hopping, and travel is my salve. I haven't figured things out yet beyond the immediate. Time to get more serious about it than reading.
Same main three with us, but we also support a handful of local favorites. For years we have supported Compassion International & soon our sponsored child in Africa will age out, he's now 20. I purposely selected him years ago when he was a teen, knowing most folks would select younger children. I learned about this charity when I saw one of my tax clients regularly donate. I may not be able to help all the children in the world, but I made a big difference for THAT one & his mother. PS Donating blood is another choice that matters, if one is able.
Merry/ HAPPY Christmas a bit early! Enjoy your holidays and wishes sent by our HD family of joy and gratitude for the impact you've had in our world! I know you'll do your best to tut-tut away anyone's understandable weepiness, but allow them it anyway. These are difficult times, on many levels. PS Kudos to posting a picture with the seat down! Your bathroom is beautiful! Hopefully I'll gain one by the end of 2025. (Shuddering at the filthy prospect!!) Cheers to slaying your to-do list! 😀
Same situation with my father-in-law. He had been surrounded by his eight children, who had been holding vigil for days. It wasn't until they all left his room to take a walk, etc., that he let go.
Probably a sub-association plus the primary association= associationS. Our 1960s PUD (planned unit development) has a few developments--condos, townhomes, & single family homes. Bylaws are ok to live by...and we have an active board, so all is good where I live.
I've had a house catastrophe in the back of my mind, ever since I took my first insurance course in college. One key to being fairly reimbursed is to be able to come up with the records needed to prove your loss(es). My Quicken detail, saved pdfs and pictures of receipts, room & cupboard/closet photos, and video have been stashed in the cloud.
This link gives advice, straight from the insurance industry's horse's mouth. https://www.iii.org/article/how-create-home-inventory
I recommend versatile Pyrex or Anchor Hocking glass products which one can use for cooking, baking, microwaving, freezing, and of course, storing food. They are a kitchen workhouse & a great score when you find them secondhand. Plastic bottle recycling has a long way to go to be successful. Although your article is about climate change/global warming, the main negatives of plastic are the alarming rates of plastic bits found in our world's waterways, seas, oceans, fish & other marine life, and thus our food supply. For those interested in this topic I recently finished an interesting library book, Transforming Plastics by Albert Bates-- everything you wanted to know.. and then some!

Lately I've asked to be removed from those solicitations, and for my parents. I'm imagining many more trees living as a result.

No bra sounds great. What a curse, it's the first thing I shed when I returned home from work.
