@viva923 

That doesn't sound good at all.  I imagine DH has been miserable without front teeth.

Did the dentist give you a reason why it all has to be redone?

Oh no, more foot surgery! ☹️

If it ain't one thing, it's another!

Hi Everyone, I hope you are all doing well.  I thought I would jump in and say hello and wish everyone a wonderful 4th of July!!   Have a relaxing and safe holiday. 

I feel like I went to sleep last night and woke up in July. How in the world is it July.  My plans for the summer are air conditioning.  Exciting I know.  Don’t be jealous. 🙃

Fireworks have been going off for the last two nights and I am sure we are not done yet.  At least someone is having fun. I guess.  So glad I don’t have a dog right now.  We still have two days to go. 

And I must say, I never thought I would come to the day where I feel like a grumpy old woman. The day has finally arrived. ☺️  I think I will change my name to Maxine. 

Have a great day!!!!

@aprilskies 

Howdy, stranger!  You've been missed here.

Fireworks galore last night.  Happily WGD wasn't too upset by them -- he's getting to be quite deaf.

The good news, I guess, is that we're already halfway through this year.  Hasn't been all that great, has it?

Join the rest of the grumps!  We've earned it.

---

@just bee, I have missed being here too. It has been a whirlwind lately but I think you ladies lucked out as I would of probably gotten us banned or myself maybe. 

I am not sure, is it good news?  This year has been bad and it is not over yet but I am weary about next year when the full effects take place.

@aprilskies 

The only good thing about 24-hour cable news, Americans' short attention span and the need for a daily or even top-of-the-hour crisis is that these crises don't last long because they're constantly being replaced by new ones.

The bad news is that after a while we just get so used to crisis mode that we aren't even outraged about much anymore.  You can't run around with your hair on fire 24 hours a day.

Well, some people can...

But watching those times when people didn't have the possessions we deem necessary now made me stop and think about my own lifestyle.  I just may watch those early episodes again.  Maybe something will sink in this time.😕

@geezerette let me know how that goes for you?  LOL.  And if you are successful, share your strategy.  At this point, I feel like a lost cause.

@aprilskies 

It's not my strategy.  It's being forced on me.  

Everything is simply getting so expensive I won't have enough money to keep spending on acquiring things anymore.

Not necessarily a bad thing, I suppose.  But still, I'd prefer it to be my idea...😭

The thing that makes it easier for me to stop buying is the knowledge that most of the items available lack quality and aren't worth purchasing in the first place.

Maybe we just limit what we buy to what directly contributes to our well-being and avoid the rest?

@just bee 

And yet somehow, even just buying groceries and sundries, I can manage to spend over $100 a week just for me.  Every week I look at what I've bought and think that X, X, and X are just "once in a while" purchases.  But I still seem to have those every week because my bill never goes down.
