Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
Hopefully your next provider doesn't play these types of games.
I already paid for a full year phone plan and had to buy a new SIM card, not to mention they wouldn't honour the credit I had in my account, it feels like they are constantly screwing us over.
Worth checking out if you can get an off brand service.

I had a PM from a dychiang claiming to be a college student doing a project on bereavement. Has anyone else had one? I notified admin and also asked this person if they has received permission from admin. I belueve that all such requests are supposed to go through admin,
It's good to be reminded that we need to do the things we want to do and not put them off. Nobody knows how much time they have left.
Starting to do a bit of downsizing here. Mostly selecting things that I am not using here to be trashed or donated - like extra bedding, a few bits of furniture, clothing..Time to clean out the fridge and freezers too. If it hasn't been used since i came here, I think it needs to go! 😊
That was supposed to go under general topics. Opps
It was fine . By the 4th parent , we have it down to a science . Got rid of her clothes etc. DH only wanted photos and any important papers . Partner is still living in the house , so we didn’t have to deal with any household items , nor did DH want any of it . The other family will have to do the bulk of that cleaning out unless partner ( with advanced Alzheimer’s ) burns down the place . Have no idea how long they plan on leaving partner alone . Partner inherited MIL’s half of the house , so not our problem .
My guess is the daughter will have the house put in her name or in a trust and make sure they wait the 30 month lookback before applying for NY Medicaid . At some point the daughter will most likely have partner live at her house ( until they reach the 30 months ).
That daughter is all about preserving the house as an inheritance for her to sell later .
My husband hates the paper straws in restaurants .
We need to pay for paper bags Hothouse so I wouldn't welcome doubling up!
Some things I do absolutely agree with, I think we use to much plastic, but other things like paper plates . Yeah no felling guilt about that one!
However , this week my son and DIL are away and I’ve been going over to feed her cats . Nearly everyday a box arrives from online shopping . Last I checked boxes were basically made of paper . The jet fuel burned to get her to her vacation destination is not good for the environment either . 🙄🤔🤷♀️
