Went to the dentist today for a normal check up. Everything was fine, thank goodness. Going to the dentist is a white knuckle affair for me event today. My childhood experiences with a dentist were all very painful. I remember him telling me “This won’t hurt if you understand the difference in pressure and pain.” […]

Laura recently sealed some more food to our long term storage stash by sealing it into mylar bags. We didn’t have the 5-gallon buckets to place the mylar bags into so I went to a home improvement store today and picked up 10. I’m puzzled why they would sell the buckets and lids separately, but […]

It’s a good exercise since it forces you to examine your expenditures monthly, but it’s chore that costs me valuable time that I cannot get back. I’m glad that I don’t have […]
