^That me me laugh and I wasn't even there.

 

robb, I like this thread although I'm not sure if I have anything to add. Things that I know to be useful I think everyone knows or doesn't need/care to know. Here's an example: Make an outdoor campfire like a teepee. I love a campfire and had one last night in the pit I initially dug in 1992. A round bowl in the dirt is the starting point. I like one about 4 feet in diameter and a foot deep. Start with easy to burn sticks and dry wood leaning against each other like a teepee, down in the bowl. Inside the teepee place some fast lighting material, like newspaper and dry weeds or twigs. Light it up and once it gets going lean some some larger wood to the outside, like small split logs. If it starts to peter out add more dry kindling of your choice in the guts, or the teepee center. Once it's really going strong you can add a hefty log on the pile if you want to keep it going for hours. I always have two big buckets of water set up to pour on my fire when I want to go to bed. Photos, of course, paint the picture.

Well, I have to admit that your visual description is definitely way funnier than any I could give! But yeah, that is what pyridium does. Bright fluorescent orange. Would scare the bejeezus out of you if you weren't warned ahead of time.

 

UTI?? Isn't that made by Subaru?

 

Vintage savings:

If you take any maintenance medications, mailing away for the script can often save you money. Three months supply for the price of two. Not all meds will qualify.

Some insurance companies do require this already.

Also pharmacy programs at Rite Aid and other stores often offer 90 day generics (not all generics) for $15.99. In a couple of instances filling our scripts through them vs the insurance company was cheaper.

I'm also CVS shopper, using their store card and watching for sales can save you money. Yesterday I bought about $74.00 worth of stuff and out of pocket was only around $34.00. They had buy one get one offers on some vitamins, supplements, I had extra bucks from a previous purchase and some % savings off of non sale items sent to my card. They will combine the % offers, not limit you to one.

And don't forget your senior value drink (coffee of soda) available when buying food at Wendy's. For those over 55, and you have to ask for it when you order, they don't offer it automatically.

 

Patricia,

I forgot to comment earlier how impressed I am with your pictures of the fire in your fire pit (nice contrast, etc)

 

OK, at the risk of seeming like a wacko has anyone else run across this video? BTW, this video infomercial takes about thirty minutes to watch.

If so, has anyone tried this? Or at least what do you think about the possibility that this may really work? FWIIW, it does seem like something big business would squash from getting into the mail stream media.

We have some smart people here. Is it possible that magnetizing water could cause the water to flow through the fabric and clean them? Or do you think that this is a hoax?

 

It's amazing how good point and shoots can do.

 

Great post Patty I'm embarrassed to say being a Vermont woodsman and all, that it was new info to me!

 

I ask for my senior coffee... and Kathy's senior diet coke whenever we hit McD's!
