She was replacing old with new items, while I was reducing everything, including my car and initially costly kitchen machines, like an automatic coffee maker, Cusinart slicer, pressure cooker, etc.; and just emptying unused items from over-full drawers. It seemed to emerge in our conversation that we do derive some satisfactions from buying stuff, but then want to reduce diversions from simple self-sufficiency. She is both buying and giving away, and I am on the downhill side with giving away to a thrift shop, etc.. I've been on a diet to lose weight, too, but admit to looking forward to Thanksgiving pumpkin pie with whipped cream and Black Walnut ice cream. It seems this time of year we are prone to rethink our lives and get a little depressed, but eating special stuff helps. |

- Awful charge from a Handyman - 1 Update
| anthona <harri85274@aol.com>: Oct 31 06:03AM -0700 I am a senior male and have a problem with my wall programable thermostat. In the past i was always able to handle what problem came up, but as I age, my eyesight has diminshed to the point I could not do what i had been able to do then, so i had to call for Help. I know if my 20-20 was still intact, I could correct the recent problem in about 10 minutes. I joined one of those Home advisers sites where they offer even a Handyman. I got a qoute of $475 just to reinstall my thermostat on the existing wall wiring, for a thermostat that I paid $55 when new. What is going on here??? |

I don't think any youngish people are here. Silver lining to being hated by women when I was younger and now having a 50 something GF I guess. |

- Update on male birth control - 1 Update
| Lenona <lenona321@yahoo.com>: Oct 03 09:46AM -0700 I trust I don't need to explain why this is relevant to almost any youngish person in a hetero relationship, who's trying to save money by not having children. (For those who don't know, Vasalgel is a non-hormonal barrier method. It's supposed to last for ten years at a time and is reversible.) This video is from 2022. "L.R. Fox: Vasalgel, Male Birth Control | Whatever Podcast #2" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKLukTcDfPk&list=PL2uZhEhKQPWYBQ6Fuq_hqHLBvn05JxUEt&index=5 It's REALLY long - almost three hours. Luckily, there's a nice detailed list of timestamps, so you can jump to almost any Q&A you wish - and save time. I must say, it's quite optimistic. |
