How about sad music & sad images together?

If you’re freezing tomato sauce, you’d want a plastic that can handle it so marking those tubs as such is a good idea. I use glass for keeping soup in the fridge during the fall/winter since I eat it for every other dinner.

It may be over kill but I rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I was part of two(maybe three) meetings where the discussion of internet usage was the topic and that too many people were spending too much time on the internet. Shopping online, listening to streaming music were the biggest offenses since the streaming slowed down our access to Oracle.

Do you fill them all the way up? Another tip from here was to fill your steel canteen halfway with water and then lay it on it’s side to let the ice expand.

Thank you for your time.

‘The Shift’ was a call back to the movies of my youth (Jaws, ET), Stephen King and post apocalyptic movies where the events that caused them were names of two or three words.

The first Thursday of each month I give my apartment a throughough cleaning. Sweep, mop, dust, vacuum, wipe down surfaces with white vinegar.

I bought a 24 pack of coloring pencils and been coloring mandala pictures as a way to relax. About 5 minutes in I’ve shut out the world and focus on which part to color next and the color to do it with.

Take the Joy Of Less approach. If you’re buying a new article of clothing, donate the old one you’re replacing. Can’t donate, cut it up into rags.

A lifehacker tip from a long time ago was to take plastic bottles and fill them with water which help keep your refrigerator cold. I did the free trial from Blue Apron and got this big block of ice in plastic which I keep in my freezer. The combination of these keeps my fridge slightly above freezing on the top shelf.

When Star Wars Galaxies first came out I was excited because I could be a Jedi. Can’t tell you how many hours I spent mining ore to make parts. When I finally found Obi Wan’s hut, there was a bug that prevented me from going inside and searching for a clue to start down the path of Jedi.

Thank you. I did use my card for purchases at first until I got my first statement and saw all the extra fees. Switching back to cash has saved me money.

I take out $100.00 from the ATM on Sunday, go food shopping using a list then get gas. I usually spend $60-80 this way. I’ll set aside any $1 and 5 dollars to deposit into a savings account at the end of the month. Whatever is left I’ll keep with me till next Sunday and only take out from the bank the difference.

Another important tip, find a safe spot to sleep during the day and travel at night.

Better suited as we approach spring/summer.
